WAY OF MARKETING APPLES
Scheme Has Recently Been Tried by
New England Growers and Worked
WelI <or Both Parties.

The objections to marketing apples
in the old way, through commission
men, has always given rise to much
complaint A new scheme has recent
ly been tried by New England apple
growers.
Under this plan the. farmer sells his
apples outright to the commission
agent for an amount less than their
full value. The agency then disposes
Of the product for as high price as he
can get. At the end of the year he
settles with the grower. The amount
formerly paid the farmer, as well as
storage and transportation costs, are
deducted from the gross selling price.
The remainder is divided between
farmer and commission agent.
The plan, wherever tried, has
worked we'll for both parties. The in
difference of the agent to everything
but his commission is done away
with, for his profits increase with each
Increase in the selling price Of the APP
pies. The new plan has not been very
widely adopted as yet, BUTT is thought
that when its advantages are fully
known 1t will largely supplant the old
slipshod method.

KEELING TREES FOR WINTER
Guard Against Injury by Drying or
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sloping
Position ls Desirable.

(By w. PADDOCK)
The trees should be unpacked as
soon as possible after they are re-
seived. to guard against injury by dry
Ing or heating.
A somewhat sloping position should
be chosen, and the ground should be
prepared by blowing deeply, and If
too dry 1t must be made damp.
II the soil is damp enough to work
well, 1t will be just right to keep the
trees in excellent condition through
the winter.
4 trench is now dug Of sufficient
width to hold the roots of one row of
trees and of sufficient depth, SO that
when the trench is filed the roots will
be covered with two feet Of earth.
The trees are placed in the trench,
one at time, with the tops sloping
at an acute angle up the grade. The
earth is now filled in and pains taken
to see that it Sits in around the roots,
leaving no open spaces.
The tops are now bent over to the
ground and the trunks and tops are
covered with at least six inches of
earth. The covering is notSallowed to
remain on too long in the spring.
Much injury results If growth has
started before trees are planted.

The Bible has ennobled every Ian
guage into which 1t has been trans
lated. Its thoughts are so lofty that
the moment they are embodied in
human speech, whatever that speech
may be, 1t is exalted, and glorified.
When 1t came into the Greek and Latin
languages 1t largely regenerated even
the vehicle which communicated its
thought. 1t necessitated the creation
of new words; and 1t gave new and
nobler meanings to old words. II Is
not too much to say that 1t almost Gre
ated a new Greek and Latin tongue.
1t has given noble themes and
thoughts to our greatest writer's. Go

1t has often given the idea OF the
characters which are the subjects of
many books. In this way, we are in
debted to 1t for striking features in
Scott's "Ivanhoe," Mrs. Stoves
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and for many
characters in George Eliot, in Tenny-
son, in Byron, in Shakespeare. and in
many other writer's. 1t is said that the

And working for man is not the

He has subjected to us the earth. and
It Is His will that we take possession

labor, his boyhood and early man
hood being spent in a mechanics
shop: rs not this the carpenter, the
Son of Mary?"
Labor has its sacred rights as well
as it's dignity. Paramount among the
rights Of the laboring classes is their
privilege to organize for their mutual
protection and benefit. II is In ac-
cordance with natural right that those
who have one common interest should
unite for its promotion. 1t is as un-
just to deny to workingmen the right
to band together because Of the
abuses incident to such combinations,
as to withhold the same right from
capitalists because they sometimes I'M
warrantably seek to crush or absorb
weaker rivals.
That "the laborer Is worthy OF his
hire" Is the teaching of Christ as well
as the dictate of reason. He deserves
something more, and that Is kind and
considerable treatment. There would
be less ground for complaint against
employers IL they kept In view the
golden maxim Of the gospel: What
soever ye would that men should do
unto you, do we also to them" Our
sympathies for those in our employ,
whether in the household, the mines,
or the factory, are wonderfully quick
ened by putting ourselves in their
place and asking ourselves how we
would wish to be treated under sim
liar circumstances.
There Is no enjoyment in life so
pure and so substantial as that which
springs from the reflection that others
are made content and happy by our
benevolence. And l am speaking here
not of the benevolence of gratuitous
bounty, but of fair-dealing tempered
with benignity. Considerable Kind
ness Is like her sister Mercy:
"It droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath: II is twice
bless'd,
1t blesseth him that gives, and him that
takes;
IT'S mightiest in the mightiest; 1t be-
comes
The throned monarch better than his
crown"

A,,,umr-pIanted Trees Are Best

The department Of horticulture Of
the University of Missouri has con-
Quoted an investigation to determine
the comparative merits of autumn and
spring planting of apple trees. The
results have shown that autumn
planted trees have. in the last FIVE
years, made uniformly a more Wig

trees.
In one year autumn-planted apple
trees made double the amount Of new
growth on all their branches which
was averaged by tho spring-planted
trees. In another season 80 per cent
more growth was made by those

Gen. Henry p. Mccain, the new

He was an infantry officer and was
serving in Alaska when the Spanish

expedition to the Philippines, and had
only engaged in the first brush the
troops had in the islands when he fell
sick of the fever that affected so
many OF the Americans when they
first went TO the tropics. RE was in
valided home, and had concluded that
his army career was over, as he saw
little hope Of promotion I'm the future
Then congress passed law which
provided that appointments to the
adiutant and inspector generals de-
partments should be by competitive
examination. As they say at West
Point and Annapolis. Mccain began
to bone" for that examination. Be
ing a student, and having been taught
how TO study at West Point, he was
able TO pass the best examination and
corps. He has been to the Philippine
Wood in fighting the Moros.
