American Agriculturist verifies pre vious reports of a poor yield of winter apples aiul a marked shortage In the apple crop. Leading states, according t-9 tliis authority, will have only 20 to 40 per cent of last year's l>ig crop— many Important sections say only 15 to 30 per cent. Quality is fair and choice fruit bound to command high prices. The shrinkage in the apple crop of the United States this year is all the more pronounced, coming as it does after the unusually heavy yield of lust season. The west, excepting California, which promises a good out turn. is relatively worse off than the eastern sections comprised J»y New York and New England. In view of the pronounced restriction in the crop of the last two districts this year this Statement- is of great significance. Moreover, It Is apparent that the qual- BPY AWLES. {These handsome Spy arples were shown at the American institute fair last win ter In New York city. They were grown In TXitehess county, N Y.I ity of apples is for the most part none too promising, this suggesting a fur ther shrinkage hi the available ton nage of winter fruit to go into storage ! and for the markets of the weeks to come. Michigan, the foremost factor among the western commercial apple produc ing states, presents a lamentable re port. Some authorities well ported with .-egard to the general crop of the state claim the output of winter ap ples will not exceed 20 per cent of an average. A large proportion of the best winter fruit In Michigan has been contracted at a range of $2 to $3 per i barrel, free on board, for No. 1 fruit. In some sections growers have sold mixed ones and twos at .<1.50 to $2.50. There appears to be little complaint of the color of 1900 apples In the east, but the size and quality are not wholly desirable. Prices cover a wide range, according to the method of selling. Strictly fancy No. 1 apples Lave brought $2 to $2.50 per barrel for fruit on the trees. Free on board sales litngo from $3 to $3.25 and in some instances very choice apples at still better prices. Where buyers take fruit as It comes from the trees, irre spective of grade, prices show a range of $1.25 to $2 per barrel. The export movement during the coming winter should prove liberal, provided the shortage in our home crop is not so great as to force prices beyond an exportable basis. Fall Skelter. A man sat by the newly built Are one cold, rainy day in November and fairly beamed with comfort as the warmth enveloped hlni. Outside the rain was turned Into frozeu sleet as It came In sheets at Intervals all day. He felt it was good to be able to have the fire and the time to sit by It. Ills wife remarked, "I should think you would put In the cows." "Well, I must," was the reply. "I am very comfortable, and I hate to start" Some hours later he happened to think of them, but it was pouring, and he waited till It stop ped before going out. The cows were drenched to the skin ami stood in any corner which offered protection. They had suffered cruelly, nnd the man was truly sorry. In the morning his milk can was only half ns full as usual, and his receipts were too small to mention. One of his best cows still continued to tremble and refused to eat. After a month of trouble she ceased to give milk. One of his heifer calves, which lie had reared with considerable care, caught a hard cold, and he sold her for almost nothing. Two hundred dollars at the least calculation was the price he paid for that bit of carelessness. This was a "pocket sorrow," and he will not forget it.—Ohio Farmer. Gooae Culture. The beginner in goose raising should procure his breeding stock In the fall. They will not breed well unless given some little time to settle down and be come accustomed to their new home. Old geese are more reliablo for breed ing purposes than young birds. Tho former are the best layers, and the i>ggs ure larger and more fertile than those produced by the young birds. A neighbor has used the same females for breeding purposes for eight years with good results, but the ganders should not be kept longer than three or four years Three geese with one gan der Is about the right proportion.— Fannie M. Wood iu Ohio Farmer. Tenant Farmers. More than half of the farmers of England of 2»X> years ago owned the land which they cultivated, but at the present time the representatives of this class are very few, so few Indeed that the word "farmer" means "tenant farmer" lp England. TILE DRAINAGE. Autumn or S|>riuir Work—The AdT&a tasrex of the Former. Conditions have a great deal to do In enabling one to solve the problem of tile drainage. Where the fal] is not great it frequently happens that gumbo land is too wet to tile out In the spring, and because of this such land can usually be drained to tuuch bettor ad vantage during the summer or fall months. On the other hand, there are soils that are just a little too dry in the fall, not furnishing enough water to guide tbo workman in regulating the fall, so that In this case spring tiling might be done more sntlsfac torlly than it could be done in the fall. However, when it comes right down to scientific tiling there Is little need of having water in the soil for the pur pose of making the fall right, as it usually pays where land is nearly level to put on an instrument and dig drains according to rule. We appre ciate the fact that this is contrary to the notions held by many persons who I have had experience in digging ditches, but nevertheless it complies exactly with the view of all engineers. A Good Thing- Thai I.na(». it so happens that we are putting a few carloads of tile on our own farm this fall—October and November. Some of the drains will have to be put on laud that has always been a little wot for farming purposes, and as soon as the drains are down this fall the plow will be put lu and the land partly pre pared for a spring crop. We find that there is a little more time to do this kind of work in the fall than there is in the spring, and where land la very i soggy It uuiekly; lUlCjt^uL If it Is properly {ifed/go tbatitiaay i be plowed in the fail, thus ie«««r. Salmon has ■ built up and advanced beyond that of any similar institution in the world's history. Probably 00 per cent of tho money expended, the men employed and the publications issued by this bu reau are and must remain substantial ly scientific. Meat inspection service and the maintenance of the quarantine are highly practical matters, but this en tire administration dej>ends completely on the information and observations of scientists. To place at the lifad of this great work, now so closu to the pockets of our stock men, an illitoiyue, an unscientific chief moans short ahrift for the Incompetent who might be per suaded to accept the position; but, worse than this.

Killing* a Robin. There ure persons at the present day —and not all old women either—who bellevo that killing a robin will bring bad luck. According to ancient belief, the storm cloud was a hugw bird. The Arabians represented bis wings as measuring 10,000 fathoms. Tills bird lived on worms, the latter being the Streaks of lightning accompanying storms. The Germans remodeled the fiction by creating the god Thor, whose bird was the robin. Consequently to kill a robin first meant death by light ning, then bad luck. The Early Boom.

It is said that John Wesley was onco walking with a brother, who related to him his troubles, saving he did not know what he should do.
