Cultivation of Grape Fruit.
Grape fruit has always been grown
in southern California, but only lately
has there been any demand for it. It
is practically a new luxury. But prices
are high, the consumption is large and
many people are therefore going into
the business. A man named McGin
nis, near Pasadena, has twelve trees
from which he shipped last year fifty
nine boxes of grape fruit that
him an average of $5 a box. Thus fai
the shipments of grape fruit from this
part of the country have been furnished
from a lew scattering trees. There
has been 110 cultivation until the lasi

1 Improved Typewriter. |
2 BY K. CHER. £
Joe Maxton was an inventive genius.
While other boys were employing their
out of school hours iu learning to
smoke cigarettes and play cards and
acquire a surreptitious vocabulary of
foul language, Joe, apparently with
little gregarious instinct, was building
water mills, queer kites, mouse traps,
fly traps, fish traps aud other ma
chines, perfectly happy and contented
in his mechanics, without auy com
pany at all.
Joe has already made a name for
himself, with some of the best that
vague term generally includes, but iu
this writing we have only to do with
an incident iu which his pretty sister,
Sarah, was concerned.
Sarah was bright aud amiable, aud
not without energy. At eighteen,
fairly educated, comely and sound,
she perceived the advautage to be de
rived from some salaried occupation,
and proceeded to learn to operate the
typewriter. While she was tediously
clicking through the primary degrees
of typewriter progress, Jeo came and
looked oil thoughtfully,once iu while.
"Oh, Joe!" said she one day, fall
ing back in her chair in a sort of help
less discouragement. "I have not the
smallest chance iu the world at the
judge's competition. True, it is six
mouths ahead, but these fingers aud
this head of mine are twelve mouths
behind."
Judge Kimace was a power in the
locality. He lived iu Burgtowu which
had a population of no less than
twenty-live thousand, and wielded his
scepter for miles around. He was a
patron of home institutions aud home
talent, which undoubtedly had some
thing to do with his popularity; so
when he found it necessary to employ
a typewriter, for which office he could
afford a good salary, he aunouueed a
competition for the situatiou, open to
Burgtowuites or neighbors only, to
be given iu six mouths' time. Every- j
body in the limits was welcome to
compete, male or female, old or young,
and attar thorough aud impartial '
judgment, the typewritist of highest i
speed should receive the situatiou and :
a prize, too. Even those who might
fail would be beuefited by the accom- I
plishmeut the iucontive would have
giveu them, and he himself was pretty
sure to secure an able assistant. Very
neat arrangement all around.
The Maxton family were poor. Joe
had not yet begun to reap any goldetf.
fruits from his inventive genius. But
he had the hearty goodwill of a manu
facturer or two, which proved to be
a pretty good thing of itself. The
typewriter Sarah had been able to buy
was uot of the best, and with it she
could not hope to compete with the
best makes, even though her skill was
high. They all tried not to see this
disagreeable point except Joe, who
looked it square in the face, from top
to bottom, all around, and even clear
through. That was right in his line
of business.
"Oh, Joe, don't raiso my hopes just
to disappoint them!"
"Well, you know what I've done
before. My present idea is a clear
one, and Mr. Richards' factory is open
to mc. I will commence at once. But
I say again, if I were you I wouldn't
work ou that machine any more at
present. If my idea is a success,you
will have it all to unlearn."
It was nearly sixweeks before -Toe's
idea materialized, aud he brought his
machine home to Sarali. When uu
boxed, it proved to be more uncouth
than the first one, if possible.
When Sarah made her discouraged
observation, Joe had been thought
fully looking on for some time.
"If I were you," he said slowly, "I
wouldn't click another click on
that machine at present. You
are right; the case is hopeless under
the circumstances. Skill would not
help you against a better machine.
But I have au idea. In a few days I
can bring you a machine, I think,that
will outwrito the best of them under
their most skilful operators, and with
out much extra work for you to learu
it, if any."
"Oh, it don't go much on looks,"
Baid Joe, in free and expressive work
man's phraseology. "But if you want
a machine to write fast, here it is."
Joe's idea was an addition to the
ordinary alphabet, consisting of a row
of buttous containing the more used
syllables, such as "in, im, ing, ble,
con, ough, tiou, the, from, to, by,
since, Dear Sir," and even "Very
truly yours." The type of the sylla
bles was linrdly oxtinguishable from
the single letters. He had solved the
difliculty of type in different sized
bodio*. "Very truly yours" was
printed iu a single touch, as easily as
A. B. or C.
Wbcr. Sarah comprehended Joe's
improveiceat. and perceived the mart-
cal ease with whicli she could write
"Very truly yourd," she nearly went
into hysterics. The former clattering
was condensed to a single click. She
earnestly set about learning to write,
and in two months broke the record
with ease.
Of course the improvement was
kept secret, and Joe applied for a
patent.
The typewriter contest aroused so
much interest that it was arranged to
take place in the opera house. Sarah's
name was safely entered in the goodly
list, aud Joe chuckled as he furtively
peeped at such old model machines
among the eutries as he could find.
The evening avrived. There were
twenty-seven competitors, and an
auditorium full of spectators.
Tho omnipresent directing spirit of
such occasions had provided a nice
little program of music and other en
tertainments, leaving the main feature,
the contest, for the last, which, to be
sure, was all nice and agreeably for
mal.
This preliminary program was gone
i through at last, and the audience
buzzed iu awakening interest. When
the curtain arose on the twenty-seven
competitors, mostly young women,
there was prompt applause.
The judge came forward with a
complimentary little speech, and
briefly announced the conditions of
the contest. The first test was to be
the copying of a blackboard passage
containing about two hundred words.
The blackboard was brought out and
the signal for the start given.
Sarah soon announced it finished.
"Cheat!" came a clear keen voice,
from a girl at one side. "Cheat, I
say! I can prove that I have equalled
the world's rpcord for two hundred
words, yet I am not now more than
three-quarters through. This is a
private understanding!"
This was more dramatic thau had
been expected. The accusation
shocked everybody. The audience
was perfectly still. The old judge bit
his lip. He came forward.
"This young lady must be satisfied,"
he said, "before we continue the pro
gram. The accusation is an unpleas
ant one, and she must be given means
to prove or disprove it immediately
before this audience. Miss Meyers,"
to the accuser, "you are allowed to
write ou this board, or have written,
two hundred words of your own
choosing. Our three judges and time
keepers are to approve of the legibility
of the writing and its fairness. Then
you and Miss Maxtou will be timed in
copying it.
Bliss Meyers, whose nerve was good,
or whose indignation very strengthen
ing,coolly selected two hundred words
from a volume of history, and chose
a good chalk writer, who reversed the
blackboard aud went to work.
There was strained silence till the
work was done. Sarah had not said a
word, but was troubled iu conscience,
for the thought came to her that pos
sibly there were grounds for the ac
cusation in her having a different
machine. Still, it had distinctly been
stated that competitors were free to
choose their machines, ami she decided
to keep nnd use her advantage.
The next test resulted in the same
way. Sarah had fiuished before Miss
Meyers was near the end.
"I don't believe it!" she hotly cried.
"Make her show the sheet."
Sarah was already very willingly
holding the sheet out toward the
judges.
The judges had no grounds for in
decision. They showed the sheet to
Miss Meyers herself. That young
lady, still convinced of fraud, left the
opera house at once, much offended.
Then followed a dozen or more dif
ferent tests, in most of which Sarah
won without any extra exertion. She
was awarded the prize and the situa
tion.
As the judge announced this de
cision, to the audience, he mentioned
that Joe Maxtou had a word to say on
the matter, and forthwith introduced
Joe.
People had "pricked up their ears,"
Jack-rabbit-cally speaking, when Joo's
name was mentioned, for his inven
tions had begun to be talked of. What
ever the discontent of Miss Meyers,
the audience was satisfied, and even
the unsuccessful competitors, with
Joe's explanation, and on hearing
hints of what he had already beeu
offered for the patent, gave him a
good willed rouud of applause and
dispersed.
Joe's rise next came and was con
veyed to the family. Sarah eventually
transferred her position to Miss
Meyers. But she kept the prize.

A Deathbed Prank.
The sense of humor must be stroug
in the man who perpetrates jokes on
his deathbed; but such has beeu doue
ou more than one occasion.
Sir John Soane, who died in 1836,
made such conditions in his will that
their fulfilment caused people to re
gard them as nothing but a joke. He
directed that a certain bos belonging to
him should not be opened until thirty
years after his decease. A secoud box
was not to be opened until twenty
years after tho first, and a third was
to remain intact until another ten
years had passed away.
The boxes were opened when the
stipulated periods had expired, but
were found to contain nothing what
ever of any value, and the only con
clusion people could come towns that
these very precise directions were only
intended by the testator as a little
joke.—London Mail.
Slow but Sure.
Apropos of the intolerable slowness
of the cabs in Berlin,Germany,it is re
lated that, a child having been run
over by one of them and killed, Mark
Twain, who was living in Berlin at
the time, exclaimed on hearing of the
accident: "What a lingering death 1"

[FOR FARM AND GARDEN.]
Kerosene Emulsion for Poultry.
Tbe kerosene emulsion used as a
spray for the garden is excellent as a

lengthen tlie First Milking Period.
An authority claims that if you
want your heifer to develop into a
profitable cow you should extend her
first milking period as far as possible
in order to promote and fix the milk
ing habit. A cow to be really profit
able must give a good yield of milk for
at least ten months in the year, but it
will be difficult to get her to do this if
you do not milk her the first year just
as long as possible—even beyond the
period when there is profit from her
product.—Weekly Witness.
Fertilizer for an Apple Orchard.
A fish and potash fertilizer will do
no harm to an old apple orchard on
dry laud, but we would not put on too
much of this mixture, because it is so
nitrogenous that it might force too
great a growth of wood. Ordinarily
boue and potash, or bone meal and
wood ashes are among the best fertil
izers for apple trees of all ages. There
is little dauger of the ordinary farmer
putting on too njuch fertilizer in the
orchard, as in most cases 200 to 400
pounds is all that is used and twice or
thrice that quantity will do no harm.
It ought to be put on at once, as the
trees are already well started and it
would have been better had the plant
food been applied Inst fall or on the
enow. A little air-slaked lime in the
potato hill will do no harm, but we
doubt if it will keep away the white
grub to any extent.
The Soy Bean a* a Farm Crop.
The Purdue university, Indiana
agricultural experiment station, has
recently issued a bulletin treating of
this new and promising leguminous
crop, stating that it has been success
fully grown in different parts of In
diana, as well as further north in the
United States, thriving well in good
corn soil and growing wherever com
can be successfully produced.
We have BO many other good legu
minous crops available for the south
ern states that this beau has not yet
attracted the attention of our agricul
turists that perhaps it may deserve.
It is said to yield per acre from 9 to
12 tons of green fodder, from 1 1-2 to
2 1-2 tons of hay aud 10 to 40 bushels
of seed, according to its variety, the
coudition of the soil, etc.
Iu food value it compares favorably
with clover hay. The seed is very
rich iu protein and can be fed advan
tageously with corn, but they should
be ground before feeding. The price
of the bean seed is so high, £2.50 to
$5.00 per bushel, as to seriously in
terfere with the development of this
as a farming crop, and farmers are ad
vised to bigiu growing it in a small
■way and thus to learn from their own
experience what to think of tho crop.
Producing lledtop Seed.
Redtop seed of fine quality is grown
on our prairie soil iu large quantities
and usually with a fair profit, depend
ing in a great measure upon the char
acter of the soil, writes G. M. Davies
of Wayne county, Illinois, iu the New
England Homestead. Very little is
grown on the white oak soils. Seed
is usually sown in February ou coru
or oat stubble or ground prepared iu
the fall. Fall seeding after cowpeas
or buckwheat will usually produce
line seed the next year. Spring seed
ing is always mowed about the Ist of
August, but produces little seed. The
grass, when ripe, is cut, cured and
stacked as for hay. Threshiug is done
with a small grain separator, remov
ing part of the concave teeth and shut
ting off the blower. A No. 22 screen
is used as a rule. The best machine
for threshiug red top seed has not ap
peared. For the best results we de
pend on the experience and good judg
ment of the machine manager. The
seed is sacked iu five bushel burlaps
and sold in the chaff.
Dealers base their prices on the
amouut of clean or export seed in a
bushel of 14 pounds. There are no
regular market quotations, the price
running with the supply and demand.
For sowing I prefer the clean seed,
3 1-2 pounds to the acre. The hay
threshed makes good feed, but it is
too short to handle easily. One of
our growers runs a baler behind the
thresher, one engine pulling both ma
chines. This saves all the hay. lted
top is our best pasture grass, growing
well on thin, dry soils, standing close
grazing and any amount of tramping.
Is self-seeding, much easier to get a
stand of than timothy. If properly
cured it makes good hay. It is a sur
face feeder, leavos few roots in the
soil aud has a poor reputation as soil
improver. This county produces
nbout all the redtop seed harvested in
the Unitod States. The soil and sur
roundings seem espseially adapted to
the crop and farmers have become
skilled in its culture and are looked to
for the annual supply.
ISuttcr Color Is to Blame.
If oleamargariue were put upon the
market undisguised and sold honestly
for what it is there could be no ground
for complaint, either moral or legal.
If people kuowing what it is deliber
ately buy and use it, they have a per
fect right to do so, aud any law for
biddiug its manufacture or sale would
be not only unfair and unjust, but in
! direct violation of the letter aud spirit
of the rights of American freemen.
But there is, we presume, no case on
record where uncolored oleomargarine
was offered for sale as oleomargarine
and sold for use a3 a substitute for
butter. If it were not colored to re
semble butter the amount sold would
never trouble any butter maker. In
fact, if there were no butter color
there would practicallv be no oleo
margarine sold. It is in coloring it,
shaping it and stamping it to resem
ble butter that the fraud consists. It
is against the butter color that the
law is aimed.
In the same way so-called but
ter, ringed, streaked, striped aud
and spotted, without regard to previous
condition or composition, is colored
and moulded to imitate first-class but
ter. The original stuff out of which
this process butter is compounded is
but little, if any, better than the raw
material of oleomargarine. But but
ter color cures all defects for the pur
pose of sale, just as with oleomar
garine.
Against this aud process butter all
real dairymen wage open aud relent
less war, but with the utmost incon
sistency they take the very same but
ter color and übo it precisely as the
oleomargarine aud process people do
—for the same purpose, too; that is,
for giving their butter a uniform and
attractive color, the color of the best
butter when at its best—Jersey butter
from June grass. Tho difference is ol
degree an 1 not of kind—of bad, worse,
worst. The whole practice is inex
cusable!— Jersey Bulletin.
Succft*nfiil Duck Breeding.
G. H. Pollard of Massachusetts,
who is one of the largest and most
successful duck breeders in the United
States,in an address delivered recently
before the Rhode Island Poultry
school said: Let us begin with the lo
cation of the plant, and that may be
almost anything that you can get.
While water is one of the almost
necessary points, there are many
leading breeders who do not have
water running through their yards
and do not consider it necessary- In
establishing a plant, if you could se
lect just what you wanted I should ad
vise you to choose a place with a good
sizable pond or running stream of
water, for iu that way you would gaiu
in the fertility of the eggs.
The Pekin duck we advocate alto
gether because of the deep keel. Iu
the improved type the breast line
should be nearly parallel with the
back and the breast should be nearly
the same length as the back. The
old lino bird is something the shape
of a Bartlett pear. Of course it is
possible with the old type of bird to
get a heavy weight, but the weight
does not come in the right place; it is
mostly back of the legs, which is where
most of tho waste comes, and there
is no frame to build on. In selecting
birds for breeding I would choose pre
ferably birds that only weigh from
six to seven pounds apiece alive, and
mate them carefully with medium
sized drakes. We used to mate five
ducks to one drake, but now I should
like to mate up iu single pens one
drake with five, six or seven females.
We feed them lightly until about
the Ist of November, when we gener
ally mate them. lam trying not to
force them this year, thinking that it
destroys the vitality of the birds aud
the fertility of the eggs, aud so we
are feeding what we call "harmless
food"—largely clover, perhaps one
part clover and three parts bran nnd
two parts coru meal, and we have not
fed any meat scraps yet. It is not
the question lrnw many eggs they lay,
but what we get out of them. 1 have
never kept a very accurate account of
the number of eggs, but Ido know
that they do not lay anything like 140
eggs, such as tho records we often see
printed in the papers. As a rule we
get less than 100 rather thau over. I
think that 'JO is nearer what we really
get. Now if we get only 90, it is a
great point to get 50 good eggs, rather
than so many poor ones. It is not the
point to get a large number of eggs,
but to get fertile ones. By forcing
we destroy the fertility, yet the eggs
are quite profitable if it does not take
too much out of the breeding stock to
get them. I would prefer not to have
them begin to lay before some time in
Febiuary. The first few eggs laid
will not be very valuable, they are al
most always infertile; perhaps the first
two or three eggs from each breeder,
and the first machinefuls do not aver
age more tliau 40 per cent, fertile.
If you hatch 25 per cent, of them it
will be doing well. If you try the
eggs you will see that 35 or 40 pqr
cent, conies nearer tha average. Alter
starting to hatch with hens aud ma
chines you will probably find that you
average more with hens than machines,
but if you uverage in either case 50
per cent, you will be doing fairly well.
From the 40 per cent, you will natur
ally except to raise 85 to 90 ducklings,
aud that is all that you can expect,aud
75 per cent, will often cover those
raised by experts.
Wo feed tho old breeding ducks,be
fore wo begin to force them for eggs,
about a third clover aud sometimes
plain hay and the rest bran and meal.
The idea is to fill them up with some
thing bulky and when they begin to
lay we begin with fivo per cent, of
beef scrap nnd work up gradually,
until in a week or so we will be giv
ing them 10 or 12 per cent. We keep
water before them all the time. At a
season of the year when it is possible
we let them have it for swimming.
