: FRUIT CROP PRACTICALLY GONE.
Reports from Missouri and KaBlas
. Indicate that the Recent Frost
Nipped Fruit in the Bud.
I
'l'he cool weather and frosts
last week did not confinc them-
sclves to either Custer county or
Nebraska , but seem to have cast
blighting effects in a number of
states , practically paralyzing the
fruit crop for this year 11 ] at least
two states , Missouri and Kansas ,
which are exlensive producers of
the luscious.
W. H. Barnes , secretary of thc
State Horlicullural society of
Kansas , made 'a scven days tour
of thc fruit growin belt of that
state and upon bis rcturn to
Topeka said : "The fruit J3
practically all killed. I'll just
sum it up that way. The fros'ts
and cold weather have despoiled
Kansas of at least $2,000,000.
The loss on enc orchard I examined -
ined , belonging to ( i'red WeU- :
house , will aggregate at leb.st
$40,000 I was in many places ,
but there is little need for me to
point out any spots. where the
damage was done. It is practically -
cally alike everlwhere. Th
fruit is kilted. ' 1 he apples are
all goqe , with the possible ex.
ception of the Janet variety , a
late bloomer. It wilt be like one
or two other seasons I have been
here , when the Janet was the
only apple we had on the trees.
The J onathans , Ganas and Ben
Davis are all dead. Th fruit
has turned a jet black. Peaches
are gone , too , although here anel
there the growers have a little
hope of getting a few , but they
will be few and far between.
Many of the peaches were as big
as peas , and never clid we have
better prospects for a great crop
of that fruit. Thc cherries are
not only killed , but the foliage
on the trees is badly damaged ,
and I doubt not but that mauy of
tlJe trees thcmselves are lnjured , "
Heports from Missouri are
much thc same as those from
Kans s with the exceplion that
th frosb were not quitc as
severe. Nc\v. York also reporls
frosts heavy enough to injure the
fruit crop to a limited extcnt , so
prices wiU undoubtedly be gr.at-
ly abovelthe usual.

Another Monument.
Not many 'years ago Amcrfcan
silks were held in derision. Now
they occupy a forcmost place in
thc market , and tha number of
looms in operation ranges between -
tween 50,000 anel 60,000. The
output , including silks , ribbons
and. plushest was valued at nearly
$92,600,000 , in 1900 , and there
is no doubt it has becn largely
increased since the census year. i
Yct silk is one of the articles
which free-traders insisted could
not be made here to advantage ,
and every time the Democratic
tariff reformers got a chance they
cut down the duty. The increasing -
ing magnitude of the American
s Jk industry is another monument -
ment to the efficacy of the republican -
publican policy of protecti n.

lating thc { ' \ ) as follows :
"Induced by E 111t Root , Jr. , his classmate -
mate in the law school of Harvard uni.
versity , to prosecute the man who had
robbed him of $ [ ,500 in what is known
as the "lemon" po l game. Edwin l .
: 'Ilyers , who has a ranch in Nebraska , had
the pleasure of seeing one of the men
convicted before Judge Rosalsky yester-
Ity.Myers left his ranch last Sel'tember to
t -gin his third year as a student. lie.
( des his loose change he had :1 draft for
: f:1 : 500 in his pocket. . . Wum ju reached
tHI.i-Grand CClltal , ; tatioll , carryillhfs /
satchel , he was met hy n plea milt fellow.
who in the cOllrse of a conversation , said
he was John McCormick. He did not
add , however , that his photograph was
in the rogues' gallery.
lIe accompanied Myers to the Fifth
Avenue hotel , where he registered. and
then , to make mallers pleasant for the
stranger in a strange clly , he invite him
to dinner. The meal was a gOJd one and
then McCormick suggestell that they
playa game of pool. They wandered into -
to the Tenderloin , and while they were
playing two friends of McCormick entered -
tered and were introduced to Myers.
The talk turned upon belling on the
different shots , and when Myers made a
difficult one he was told that he had won
$ [ ,500. He did not recall at the dinner
table he had mentioned to McCormick
that he had a draft for that amount in
his pOl'ket. nut as he had not put up
the cash McCormick said he would not
pay. but promised to meet the student
the lollowing ( lay , when , if he llad the
money in cash , he would bet him that he
could not make the same shot ag'l ' n.
Delighted at the prospect , Myers
had his draft cashed promptly and went
to the pool room. There he met McCormick -
Cormick and his two friends. lie said
he had the cash with him and was ready
to stake it on his skill. fIe was asked to
show it and did so , producing three $500
bills. Immediately one of the others
grahbed the money from his han an
as l\f'ers rushed at him McCormick an
ihe other fellow interfered Bn the thief
got a way. Then McCormick fnund a
way to dleappear.
This experience the stu ent relate to
young Mr. Root , who took him to
Assistant District AHorney Krotel. Mc ,
Cormick was arres\e and convicted.

How it is Applied to the Litchfield Spreader.
Watch n Lltchfiel < 1Mnnure Sprea er working and you will wonder
what method is used to get such even results , through Utud , san , slush
or snow , with the ground frozen or otherwise , with fast horses nnd with
slow ones , always working and never refusing to do business.
The facts aretthis machine has been reduced to a liclentlfic basis in
applying the power for distrubiUng the load. The manufac\urers have
one awe ) ' with the old fashione plan of riving one part of the machine -
chine froUl one wheel and another part froUl the other wheel.
It has been emonstrnted thoroughly that both traction wheels on a
manure spreader shoul be so arranged that they will each o an equal
proportion oi the work. The Litchfield Spreader takes 1\11 the power
frollt both traction wheels direct to one large gear and froUt this gear
the work of m ving the load and operating the beatcr wheel is istribut-
cd in proportion to the requircments. .
Listen , only half the traction or that coming froUt the left wheel fs
applIe to the axle. 'l'he right traction wheel applies its work direct to
the large genr in ependent of the axle. Note that the axle therefore
has only half the twisting strain which other machines apply to it where
both traction wheels rive thro gh the axle.
JUEt cOUlpare this with those machines that rive the beater wheel
with one traction wheel an drive the conveyor with another. This
puts froUl 70 to 9 < > per cent of the 10n(1 On the beater wheel si e an
froUl 10 to 25 per cent of the load on the other side. Plainly this it ! a
nstruction an is what you do not fin in the Litchfield
I Come ; in , an see this spren er an see not only the features a eve I
referre to , but also the traction grip \hat this machine hils both on the
ground and on the people who know it ) est.
