Oregon--Wlatsr apples

Uoas asm picking has began. The crop
Is balow average.
Washington Late apples were bet
ter task early ones bat the crop was
short except la favored localities where
irrigation is practiced.
California Orchards have asjea
greatly besetted by recent rains. The
ralsta seasoa Is dosed. Late grapes
are heiag sent to the wineries. The
oraage crop Is fair as regards yield
ami of excellent quality. It Is now be
ing shipped.
New York Some damsge to trait
trees is reported as a result of the
snow and sleet storm of October 18th.
The Kansas Horticultural Society
has issued the following estimate con
cerning the 1W1 apple crop of that
state: Number of acres in apple or
chards, 159.4v; number of bearing
trees, IJSUSS; average crop per tree,
3 bushels; total crop for state,-2S,-26C.763
bushels; average price per
bushel, 9 cents; total value of crop.
I15.820.e51; average gross receipts per

The Ontario Department of Agricul
ture estimates the yield of apple in
that province as 18,834.224. bushels or
less thaa 4 per cent of last year's
crop. Pears yielded an average crop
of fair quality. Grapes yielded well.
The oranges and grape fruit of Flor
ida have colored nicely and shipments
from that state are now heavy but the
flavor of the fruit is not yet up to par.

BarUealteral observation.
The growing of violets In winter has
received some attention at the experi
ment stations. Last year the Tennes
see station succeeded admirably with
plants that had been grown from seed
planted the previous spring. The grow
ing of violets fits in well with the work
of farmers living near the cities whose
gardening has developed sufficiently to
enable them to have a good system of
hot-beds for summer work and some
thing In the nature of a hot-house for
wlater work.
In the South ss well as in the North
the problem of how to protect the trees
against cold is an important one.
Among the orange groves of Florida
temperature a little below the freezing
point is ss much dreaded as is 30 be
low zero In the North. Of course,
among the devices for protecting the
trees about everything has been tried.
Some of the methods are probably too
expensive to become popular, while
others are of doubtful value. Among
the various methods to which our at
tention has been called are the follow
ing: Fires of faggots are built between
the rows of trees; young trees are
banked ap with sand; sheet iron stoves
are placed between the trees and mod
erate fires kindled in them; trees are
covered with cloth or water-proof pa
per, and lamps or oil stoves used be
neath these covers; groves are en
closed with high palings of cheap lum
ber. The great cost of covering trees
with tents or temporary houses makes
that method of protection practically
oat of the question, yet It has been at
tempted by some men.
Gradually apple growers are getting
down to a uniform apple barrel, a bar
rel that holds three bushels. Hitherto
the lack of uniformity in the barrels
has caused much dissatisfaction among
buyers as well as among honest apple
sellers. The dishonest man has no par
ticular objection to a barrel that is
short in capacity. One result is that
the market quotations based on barrels'
give no real idea of the true state of
the market. The standard barrel meas
ures 17 Inches across the head, Is
28 Inches high, and has a circumfer
ence of 64 Inches around the bulge. Ul
timately the bushel box will, we be
lieve, drive out the barrel. It can be
more certainly measured and can be
packed with less loss of space. The
barrel has the advantage of being of
such shape that it can never be packed
in any manner so as to prevent a cir
culation of air.
The Camera! Fralt Crop.
A report from Washiagtoa says that
of the 14 states having 3,000,000 or up
ward apple trees In bearing at the
Eleventh Census, 7 report an npple
crop comparing unfavorably with their
respective ten-year averages. Among
these are New York with. less than one
third, and Pennsylvanlawith less than
one-half of an average .crop, a half
crop being also barely exceeded in
Michigan aad Texas. While crops In
excess of the respective ten-year aver
ages are reported from several more or
less important apple-growing states,
such excess is especially noteworthy
only in Kansas, where the crop is
nearly 50 per cent above the ten-year
average and is the largest since 1891.
While the pear crop is by no means a
failure, It not only falls considerably
short of the crop of last year bat also
compares unfavorably with the ten
year average. This to due mainly to
the deficiency in New York and Cali
fornia, a majority of the more Impor
tant pear-growing states reporting n
production somewhat above their ten
year averages. The production ot
grapes is somewhat below the ten-year
average, the crops of California aad
New York being slightly below snd
that of Missouri considerably below the
respective state averages for the ten
year period, with only a relatively un
important increase of production in
other states.

There are nearly 500 creameries,
shimming stations and cheese factories
in Ks'niff" The more milk each of,
these plants receives the less will he
the cost of operation per 1,000
of milk received, and the higher
be the price per pound paid for butter
fat To be most profitable to the. farm
ers of the state, these plants must re
ceive ten times their present supply
of milk. The greater the production
of milk and butter-fat In the state the
greater will be the profits to all eon
nected with the dairy interests. Kan
sas Is well equipped with dairy manu
facturing establishments, but the milk
supply Is much too small to make
dairying most profitable.- For these
reasons the chief work of the Kansas
dairy school will be to give instruction
to farmers In milk production, in
cluding the selection of the cow, han
dling and feeding her, the care of her
milk and calf and the feeding of sum
milk, buttermilk and whey to secure
greatest profit
Kansas cows have been bred chiefly
for beet Secretary Cpburn reports
the average yearly value of the product
of the Kansas dairy cow to be 89.65.
Several creameries report that the av
erage receipts per cow per year for
their patrons is 820. This college se
cured, In 1808, an average per cow of
887.76 for butter-fat at creamery prices
from a scrub herd that in quality were
much below the average cows of the
state; and one scrub cow, for which
we paid 830. returned 860.88 for butter
fat and gave a net profit above cost
of feed of 840.37. These records show
that with, the cows they now own,
Kansas dairymen can, with proper
feed and care, double and treble the
present milk yield and make an even
greater increase in their net profits.
We want farmers and farmers' boys
from every township In Kansas to at
tend our dairy school and learn to
feed and handle cows so as to secure
these results.

Hog Pastare.
To the Farmers' Review: I would
give bogs any pasture 1 could get
rather than to keep them in pens
when they are growing. I am pre
paring to fence off a small piece of
rape for my hogs and pigs. Alfalfa
is used very successfully by some
farmers here. I said to a man who
owns a bottom farm with alfalfa
meadows and pastures on it: "I wish
I had a hundred acres of alfalfa and all
the hogs it would carry." He an
swered: "Then you would have a
thousand head." I would have in a
pasture only such trees as would be
necessary to furnish the shade hogs
need in summer and would have shed
shelter for cold weather. Good clear
water Is more of an insurance against
disease than any one thing. In my ex
perience, good pastures will go far to
wards preventing disease among hogs,
especially the so-called hog cholera. 1
think a variety of grazing is a very
beneficial thing for the growing pig.

ttoth by the use-of large, open ditches,
tad also by the free use of tile drains,
!t Is scarcely necessary to say that
where this has been one the marshes
lave furnished our very best corn
'ends. The reason, of course, for this
's quite spparent The fertility has
oeen constantly washing down from
the higher lands daring the centuries
psst, the result being that large de
posits of fertilizing elements are made
m these puces. So longvas they are
water soaked, of course they are al
most worthless, but as soon as the
water Is removed the proper physical
condition of the' soil -Is very soon
brought about after which it Is won
derfully productive. It to rather a dif
ficult question Just to know what to
do with these soils the first few years
after they are drained. However, our
experience to that nothing to more sat
isfactory than a crop of fax. For
this I would advise plowing la the tall
and thoroughly preparing the soil in
the spring before seeding. As the seed
of flax to small, I know of no crop that
responds more liberally to a thorough
preparation of the surface soil. That
Is where many persons make their "to
take. The tendency to on newly brok
en soil to give It about one stroke with
a harrow and put In your seed broad
cast However, If the soil could be
thoroughly disced down and the fax
seeded with a drill much of this son
will produce 20 to 25 bushels of tax
per acre. At present prices of max this
makes a crop that is quite valuable.
In many instances it to possible to get
at least two crops of flax, although it
sometimes occurs that the second crop
is not quite so thrifty ss the first one.
After cropping with flax in this man
ner most of these soils will la our
locality grow corn. However, as the
section spoken of to somewhat north
of this. I think that millet would grow
very satisfactorily Indeed. It to also
possible to sow some of the spring
cereals and cut them as hay crops. I
would advtoe cutting them as hay
crops for the reason that they are apt
to grow too rank, and scarcely ever
fill well on these rich soils. Of all the
clovers, none will do quite so well ss
the Alsike. ss this Is adapted to lower,
wetter anil In the COUTSe Of S fSW
years I think such soil will become
well adapted to the growth of red
clover and timothy, and, indeed, all
tho cereals after the raging fertility
of the soil has been to some extent
checked. Let me again repeat that the
growth of these crops which I have
mentioned presupposes- -that these
marshes are thoroughly drained. The
cost of putting down tile drains to a
depth of four feet may seem to be a
large investment and yet I know of
none that will pay a better dividend
providing intelligence to used In the
cultivation of the soil and the proper
rotation of crops during the succeed
ing years. James Atkinson, Iowa

Adaptability of Wheats.
Probably no better work to being
done by any of the experiment stations
than by those that are ascertaining by
actual practice what wheats are adapt
ed to the states In which said stations
are situated. One of the most costly
mistakes of our agriculturists to the at
tempt to grown varieties of fruits and
plants over wide areas of country very
diverse in soil and characteristics. Be
cause a certain variety of wheat has
been found to be best in the state ot
Ohio it has been assumed that the
same variety would do well in nil other
states in the area la which wheat to
grown extensively. But tests at other
stations show that this does not fol
low. The problem cannot be worked
out In one state and serve as the an
swer of the same problem in all the
states. As an illustration of this we
refer to Minnesota, which has been for
many years experimenting along this
line. So far hard Fyfe and Blue Stem
have been found to be best adapted to
Minnesota conditions. These two
wheats have not been found to be the
best in some of the other states. What
is true of the states Is probably true
to some extent ot the counties within
the states. The work ot any station to
therefore ss yet incomplete. The In
telligent fanner must to a consider
able extent depend on his own experi
ments to determine what wheats will
give the best yield in his county and
on his own farm.
Plains a Typo.
From the Farmers' Review: I have
never done much in-breeding, as I do
not regard that practice as a good one.
L have used it some in fixing a type In
cattle. Though I have done some lit
tle of this, I always like to have an
out-cross near It I have also some
times done a little in-breeding with
sheep, Just to fix a type, but have al
ways tried to cross "out" ss soon as
possible with a sheep ss near my ideal
as I could find. It will not do to "in-'
breed" with sheep very much, as It in
jures the constitution and has a ten
dency to make the sheep small. I'am
not much of an advocate of in-breeding,
and the man that does it should
understand bis business. The novice
should let it alone. ... I have a
very nice hunch of sheep, which I will
exhibit st the International Live Stock
Show. George Allen, Vermilion Coun

Crape for th OreharJ.
From the Farmers' Reveiw: It is an
open question with many what crop to
grow In the orchard. I have grown
corn, cow peas, soja beans; sorghum
and' several other things In a small
way. In the bearing orchard I prefer
cow peas and soja beans for Jane and
July planting. I can then pasture
those crops oaT with sheep after the ap
ples are off the trees. For the younger
trees I have been growing soja beans
and cow peas for seed and feed. I have
quit growing corn and sorghum la the
orchard. For a winter mulch I would
prefer a vetch, but the high price ol
vetch seed prevents its use. Canada
peas I have used and like. .Barley and

sown in August and early September
might be a good-winter mulch. A. A

THE CX, R. I. 4 P. R. R.
By January 1st the Rock Island ex
pects to be nble to open for business Its
southwestern extension to El Paso,
Tex. This line, in connection with the
Southern Pacific and the Mexican Cen
tral railroads, will give the Rock
Island the shortest line both to South
ern California and the City of Mexico,
and make it a dangerous competitor of
the Santa Fe. It took just ons year to
construct the 546 miles of the new ex
tension from Liberal, Kan., to EI Paso,
Tex. For the purpose of complying
with the Texas Isw that every railroad
within that state ahsll have state oper
atlag headquarters and also for general
construction facilities snd convenience,
the new road was placed under the
charters of five different railroad cor
porations, via: The Chicago, Rock
Island 6 Pacific proper, the Chicago,
Rock Island ft Mexico, the Chicago.
Rock Ialsnd El Paso, the Rock Island
ft EI Paso, sad the El Paso ft North
eastern. The road from Liberal to
Santa Ross, N. M.. a distance of 272
riles, was placed under direct Rock
Island construction, with J. H. Conlen.
vice president of the Chicago, Rock
Island ft Mexico, ss Chief Engineer
and General Manager, while from San
ta Rosa to Csrrizoso, a distance of 130
miles, the construction work was given
to the El Paso ft Northeastern, which
already had a constructed line from El
Paso to Csrrisozo. The road from Lib
eral to Carrizozo will be equipped with
eighty-pound steel rails, oak or pitch
pine ties, aad modern ballasting. De
pot side tracks, switches, station
houses, yardings. water tanks, and
Western Union telegraph lines have all
kept pace with actual road building.
and when the road is opened by the '
first of next year it will be in as perfect
condition u any of the lines of the
Rock Islsnd system that have been In
service for years. In connection with
the Rock Islsnd-El Paso line is the
new thirty-mile railroad which to to
develop the immense Dawson coal
fields, owned by the Rock Island, on
the Beaubien and Miranda grant, in the
northern part of- Colfax county, N. M.
This foad will leave the main Rock
Island rails st or nesr Liberal station,
twenty miles southwest of the Cana
dian river crossing, snd run through
the New Mexican counties of Ssn Mi
guel, Mora snd Colfsx. This branch
will be completed by May 15, 1902. The
coal is to feed the southeastern por
tion of the Rock Islsnd-El Paso line,
and probably will largely supply the
Southern Pacific railroad, in addition
to a heavy domestic custom in that
section of the country. The comple
tion of the. El Paso line will give the
Rock Islsnd a route of 222 miles short
er between Kansas City snd El Psso
than that of the Santa Fe between the
same points, together with a saving
of fifteen hours of time, the letter fact
being largely due to the favorable
alignment and maximum 1 per cent
grade of the new Rock Island line. In
connection with the Southern Pacific,
the Rock Island will have a shorter
line from Chicago to Los Angeles than
will the Santa Fe. The construction
cost of the Rock Islsnd-El Paso line
will spprozlmate 17,000.000, an average
of about $15,000 per mile. Chicago

Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound.
u Dear Mrs. Pinkham : My professional work has for the past
twenty years brought me into hundreds of homes of sickness, and
I have had plenty of opportunity to witness the sufferings of wives
and, mothers who from want, ignorance or carelessness, are slowly
but surely being dragged to death, principally with female weakness
and irregularities of the sex. I believe you will be pleased to know
that Lydia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable Conpoaavd has cured
more women than any other agency that has come under my notice.
Hundreds of women owe their life and health to you to-day, and, there.
fore, I can conscientiously advise sick women to try it." Marguerite
