Danville, Sept, 21.--The apple crop
in Patrick county has been the most
wholesale failure in the memory of
the present generation. 1t is doubt
full if more than 1000 barrels of ap-
pies will be made this year as against
100000 last year. Few apples will
be shipped as there will be hardly
enough for home consumption.
One orchardist succeeded in secur-
ing fair yield as result of resorting
to smudging operations and as a re-
suit Of this practice WILDE more
largely resorted to next year. Last
wear the Patrick apple crop was a
bumper and thousands of bushels OF
apples rotted in the orchadds because
labor could not be found TO barrel
them.

IRELAND UNDER ALIEN RULE
Power Of the Danes Broken by Brian
Boru in 1014-Normans BECAME
Amalgamated.

About 500 A. d., the pagan hosts
Of the Mortimer and Danes fell on
Ireland with fierce destruction. After
century of destruction, Irish kings
led their people in succession Of
wars. for the deliverance of their
country, and Brian Borama, or Brian
Boru (926-1014), king of Munster, by
his great victory in the battle of Clon-
tart. on April %, 1914, finally broke the
power Of the Danes in Ireland. In
III Ireland was invaded by the Nor
mans from England, in the time Of
Henry ii, and its conquest began. "In
Ireland" to quote the words of Prof.
Edward A. Freeman (1S23-1S92) "the
Norman was more purely cOnQueror
than anywhere else, but In Ireland his
power of adaptation caused him to
sink In a way in which he sank no
where else. While some of the Nor
man settlers In Ireland went to sweh
the mass Of the English Of the Pale,
others threw In their lot with the
native Irish, and became. In the we'll
known saying, more Irish than the

RELIGION Of Good Citizenship.

ain China there existed in the past.
and there are evidences that II is COM
ing to life again. the religion Of good
citizenship" says a writer In Asia
Magazine. THAT IS to say. the Chi
nese theory is that man does not
need to feel the need of physical force
to protect himself; he has seldom the
need even to call in and use the physi-
cal force of the policeman-Of the state
to protect him. A man in China Is
supposed to be protected by the sense
Of justice of his neighbor; he is pro-
tected by the readiness of his fellow
men to obey the sense Of moral obliga-
ton. The ideal Of Chinese civilization,
therefore. is that man can not feel
the need of using physical force to
protect himself because he Is sure that
right and justice is recognized by all
his neighbors as force higher than
physical force. and that moral obliga-
ton as recognized by everybody is
something that must be obeyed."

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultureo
Late in the winter or early In the
spring the poultry owner should select
and mate his best hens TO use for re-
producing his flock. To do this he must
choose the seasons breeding stock with
care.
Progress will be made most quickly
by selecting and using the best indi-
yiduals in the flock as breeders rather
than by breeding the flock as whole.
Standardized ROSTERS of the right
type should be used with the selected
birds; the chickens then will be or
much higher quality than the birds OF
last years flock.
Selecting Healthy BOOSTERS.
The selection of a male should be In
fluenced largely by the character of the
females used. Any general weakness
In the hens should be offset, so far as
possible, by strength in that particular

Only by continuous selection for
health and vigor is 1t possible to build
I'D a flock that will produce fertile
eggs, strong chicks capable Of making
quick growth, and pullets with suff-
cent stamina to stand the strain OF
heavy egg production.
The appearance Of bird Is not al

appearance and action taken together
are a fairly reliable guide, say poultry
specialists of the United States De

prominent, and the head broad ant

WHERE FROGS ARE CHICKENS
Tariff Laws of the United States Say
They Are Same and Alike "in
Three Counts"

To one not versed in tariff law, or
familiar with the devious and tortu"
Gus channels of reasoning followed
only by customs legal luminaries, some
of the decisions at first appear to be
rather odd. Frogs have become chick
ems for tariff purposes. venisOn has
been held to be beef and live snails
have soherly been decided 10 be nOnenu-
merated manufactured articles, re-
marks the San Francisco Chronicle.
Reason begins TO tOtter On its throne
and completely tumbles off when one
learns that friedrich weighing under
five pounds is friedrich weighing over
five pounds. Reason. however, can pick
up its scepter and climb pack to its
easy chair with a sigh of relief after
reading wonderful paragraph in the
law known as the similitude clause.
If an article is not provided for, either
by name or material, and has one or
four characteristics of an article that
is provided for, it takes the same rate
of duty. If the homeless article re-
sembles any other article either in
material, quality, texture or In use
TO which 1t may be applied it becomes
that article for tariff purposes. Frog
meat is similar to the white meat Of
chicken in three counts, venison scores
on one for the reason that both ven
ison and beef are eaten and tirebricks
weighing under five pounds are used
In exactly the same manner as those
weighing over five pounds.

is usually in poor health. Sick fowls,
or those apparently recovered from
sickness. ought never TO be used for
breeding.
In selecting stock for mating, the
purpose of the breeding must be kept
clearly in mind. To produce table
fowls, select breed that has
standard type, or a body shape suit
able for carrying an abundance OF
meat. This type has broad, deep
body, good length of back and keel.
and especially a broad breast well COW
cred with meat.
To breed for eggs, choose birds, as
far as possible, that are good pro-
ducers OF are the offspring of such
birds and that conform to the standard
requirements of the breed. The best
layers In the hens should have been
banded or marked in some way In the
fall, at which time their production Is
fairly well indicated by their appear
ance. The earliest maturing pullets
should be banded when they start to
lay in the fall and early winter, as
these early maturing birds usually
make the best producers and may be
used for breeding this year If desired

Mating should be made at least two
weeks before beginning to save the
eggs for Matching. Ii is often desirable
to mate even further ahead, so that q
few eggs can be incubated for five oil

still time to change the male bird.
The breed of birds influences the sizt

to run from u to Is females of a small
breed with one male, while the females
