APPLE CROP.
Mar!»rd Iu the \ leld and
(IAOII Prtco» Fipectcd.
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

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«««<n
lng labor In the spring. If one can
obtain the use of his <lrains for a
month or two in the fall the tendency
Is to make the soil Just n little more
porous, and as a result of this the
drains will act somewhat more freely
!n the spring than if they were newly
put down. Fnliko almost everything
else on the fnrm, a tile drain be
comes more useful with age, and the
sooner It is In the sooner will the own
er of such land be benefited, not o&ly
by its immediate action, but by the
increased value that comes from its
effect in making a soli more porous—

THE PRACTICAL MAN.
In Some t»ra lie Mmt I'ORVFU Sclem
tlflc Attainment*.
Following the resignation of Dr.
Salmon, who was for twenty years
head of the bureau of animal industry,
there have been various expressions of
opinion In the press as to who and
what his successor should be, and the
call lias Ik-oii largely for a "practical
stock man."' Farm and Ranch, which
devotes much attention to live stock
matters, comments upon this view a«
follows:
We have no inkling of just whom
the pai»ers raising this demand have In
view, but in our judgment Secretary
Wilson will select a competent man
for this position and one in whom the
meat trade of this country and of the
world will have confidence —a man
who knows.
The practical man in this case Is one
having scientific training in micro
scopy, anatomy, physiology and sani
tary science. A man unfamiliar with
these highly important branches of
science would be as a "mere notch on
a stick" when planning and operating
the vast work which I>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. It would result In the
repudiation of the bureau in this coun
try and In every foreign country now
receiving American shipments of meat
and live stock.
Canned Spinach.
A canned vegetable new to the aontli-
West has been on our markets for one
or two seasons and meets with the
hearty approval of the trade. We refer
to spinach. This salad comes out of
cans with its flavor and succulence un
impaired. The goods, so far as we have
Been, have come from eastern canning
centers.—Exchange.

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.

"When I was a boy," said the rather
vain person, "everybody said I was go

ftates."

my argument that it isn't safe to start
a boom too far ahead of election."—

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. They were
:tt that moment passing a stone wall
to a meadow, over which a cow was
looking.
"Do you know," asked Wesley, "why
that cow looks over (hat wall?"
"Xo," replied the one in trouble.
"I will tell you," said Wesley. "Be
in use she cannot look through it. And
that is what you must do with your
troubles—look over and above them."
