third republic nnd his election In Feb-
ruary 1899 will be remembered as oc-
I currlng at a time when the country
was all but overwhelmed with the
shock of President Faure's sudden
death and when rival parties were
each clamoring for the adoption of
their candidate. Tho election of Emlle
Loubet was a triumph for the repub-
licans and his tenure of office has
'illy justified their expectations.
The president had formerly held
'many state offices the most Important
being those of prime minister and pres-
ident of the senate bo that he went to
the Elysec with a very fair knowledge

possessed of very keen Insight sound

are qualities which have mado the

Crop and Weather Condition.
December in Kentucky according to
weather bureau reports wbb not very
favorable for wheat but It was pro-
tected by snow during the period of
extreme cold from the 15th to the 22d.
It Is small and thin and does not look
very promising. Fruit trees appar-
ently wore not injured by the cold
weather. Stock generally is in fair
condition but there has been some
loss of cattle In stalk fields
The weather bursal! review of
woathcr and crops of 1901 In the
Maryland and Delaware section states
that December weather was general-
ly satisfactory though some injury
was wrought by the cold wave that
prevailed from the llth to the 17th.
At the beginning of the present yeur
grain and grasses were promising in
their appearance and outlook. Of
crops the report says: A careful buui-
mary of crop results based on more
than one hundred special reports.
shows that wheat was below an aver-
age yield and only fair In quality.
Rye was short in amount but the
quality was fair to good. Oats were
a poor crop and of Inferior grade.
The early cuttings of hay were shoit
but the late was better; the entire
crop was somewhat below average
yield but tho quality fair to good.
Corn was a magnificent crop; there
were very few reports of inferior
grade and these were from some of
the more southern localities where in
a few instances the yields wero also a
little bolow the average. A few ap
ple orchards gave fair yields but the
crop as a wholo was very disappoint-
ing and many complaints of knotty
and otherwise imperfect fruit wero re-
ceived. Peaches were variable tn
quality and yield; the yield was gen-
erally poor to average but tho grade
on the whole was fair. Tho season
was very favorable for tobacco; there
were no deficient yields and the en-
tiro crop was secured in excellent con-
dition. Pennsylvania reports state that
when Docember closed very little snow
remained on the ground except in the
northeastern section. Grain was in-
sufficiently protected and suffered con-
siderable damage from floods and
washouts.
Flordla pineapples where unpro-
tected during the severe weather of
December show bad effects of frost.
No serious damage befell the crops on
the lower southeast coast. In contra!
portions the plants wero well protect-
ed as a rule and are now In good con-
dition. Tho California hop crop is being
marketed and the latest quotation
from Sutler county growers was 8
cents per pound. Olive growers are
also harvesting their crops. The trees
are loaded and the acreage is large.
Growers who sell from the trees have
heretofore usually disposed of their
product for $60 per ton or 3 cents per
pound. The crop this year is more
than double the usi'al yield and olives
now being only $40 per ton as they
como from the tree and half of that
goes to the pickers leaving the grow-
ers but $20 per ton. Recent weather
conditions have not been very favor-
ably Cold foggy weather with fre-
quent frosts bos prevailed in northern
California and abnormally high tem-
peratures and drying winds in the
southern part. Pain Is much needed
particularly for late-sown grain for
which the outlook in southern dis-
tricts Is rot good. In many places
green feed te drying up. Plowing and
seeding aro making good progress.
Orchards and vineyards are In good
condition and large shipments of
oranges are being made. Irrigation
water Is plentiful.
To Get Iteat Price for Apple.
At the recent meeting of the Illinois
State Horticultural Society H. M. Dun-
lap said: Those who were fortunate
enough to have a full crop of apples
this year ought certainly to have been
well satisfied with tho proceeds from
the orchards. There never was a time
I think In the history of the state
when everything was disposed of to so
good an advantage in the markets as
this year. They made In some In-
stances as high as four grades of ap-
ples three of them were shipped to
market and tho fourth was shipped to
the evaporator or elder press and they
get good prices for all even the latter
bringing from 20 to 25 cents per bush-
el; In many instances 50 cents per
hundred was not an uncommon thing
on the track by the carload for elder
stock and evaporator stock and ap-
ples sold by tho barrel orchard run
hand-picked ran from $1.25 to $2.75
per barrel. The diversity in price
seemed to be more on account of the
number of packers there were In that
neighborhood rather than the quality
of the fruit so It behooves us as
growers to have our localities well
ndvertlscd In tho market and there
is no way In which wo can advertise
our special lines of fruit growing so
well as In sending out fruit that 13
properly carefully and honestly
packed. If a neighborhood as a wholo
will do this they will find that tho
buyers will look up that locality every
year and look It up to the ndvantago
of the fruit-growers thcmselvu.
l'rocre In llnrllril lure
From Fanners' Review in lioitl-
culturo the greatest advancement is
In orcharding. Fat mors are begin-
ning to see that they must cultivate
and take caro of orchards as well as
other farm crops. Spraying is also
receiving more attention than former
ly and now apples being n good prli-e
will be quite an Inducement to those
having orchards to give them more
attention.
Orcharding is the only line of horti-
culture In which I can see nny profit
for the future and the person who
will go nt It In a business-like way
by gaining all the Information possi-
ble making It n study and not being
afraid of work should and will suc-
ceed The small fruit industry hero
has nearly disappeared for more rea-
sons than one the chief reason is tho
men who wero In It. They oxpected
too much Thoy oxpected to get the
same results from their efforts In the
growing of small fruits that men got
who had followed it and made It a
lifetime study. It Is hard to get some-
thing for nothing oven in fruit grow-

tenslvely experimented with by the
government at Washington. Thero are
several varieties. The one here shown
has a slender head nearly cylindrical
erect or somewhat nodding. Tho
chaff is green or purplish as Is the

Starting n Peaoh Ornhard
From Farmers' Review Here are
the most essential points In starting
a peach orchard: If possible start
with trees propagated from buds
taken from trees of greatest vigor.
The most vital point is selection of
varieties. If growing for the open
market yellow varieties should be
used; also few sorts. For my locality
Ede and Elberta are the best Do not
plant too close not closer than 18
by 20 feet Closer planting would be
all right If an annual pruning (short-
ening In) were practiced. W. S. Per-
rine Marlon County Illinois.
Feeding: Sllaffe.
From tho Farmers' Review: I have
fed silage for four years with good
success and havo never seen any bad
effects of using It In the meantlmo
I have gained a very large business
over non-feeders. I feed dally from
thirty pounds to all that will bo eaten
per cow. I have also fed oat and pea
silage. There aro not very many
silos around here but farmers have
been watching mine and have made
up their minds that silos are Just tho
thing. I am feeding now about fifty
head of cattle and would say that
for me "no silo no dairy." Geo. L.
Franz Berrien County Michigan.
Gardens that pay best aro those
that receive the most attention. A
garden will not take care of Itself and
yield a profit Probably no part of
tho farm pays as largo a profit as the
garden in good hands. A man that
realizes this will give it tho first at-
tention in tho spring both as regards
labor and fertiliser. The garden lov-
er will not forget It when other parts
of the farm also need attention. If
a man will not do tho work necessary
or have it done he may as well not
attempt to have a garden.

Attention Is drawn in an Agricul-
tural Ledger on tho cattle of Itajpu-
tnua to the "Nngoio" and "Rlndix"
breeds. Tho "Nagoro" bullocks nr
famous throughout India ns magnifi-
cent trotting animals on which ac-
count says tho Lahoro paper they are
greatly sought after by well-to-do na-
tives who drive them in ekkas. A
good pair will usually command from
Its. 100 to Rs. 150 nnd tho price of a
well-matched superior pair is from
Us. 200 to Rs. 400. They aro good-
tempered and docile but timid. "Rln-
da" means small and cattle of this
breed seldom incasuro moro than for-
ty inches in height whereas Nagore
bullocks have been measured up to
seventy Inches. "Rinda" cattle ar
used for all kinds of agricultural
work for which purposes they aro in
great demand by zemindars. They
also make very good baggage animals
either in tho plains or hills being
short-legged with hard feet. They
nre howevor morose obstinate and
bad-tempored sometimes showing
fight when roused or when ap-
proached by Europeans. An average
pair may bo bought for about Rs. 75.
In Ilcawar and Marwnr those breeds
are preserved in their purity. In oth-
er Rajputana states llko Blkanrr Jai-
pur and Kotah no attention Is paid
to broedlng. Important economic ben-
efits might result if the prlnclplo of
selection could be widely taught to
cattle breedars In Rajputana states.

Borne Polnte on Oat.
From the Farmers' Review: I havi
considerable experience farming and
raising stock for the past forty-six
years. Every year I raised moro or
less oats. I have always found the
oat crop very profitable and very nec-
essary In raising colts calves and
pigs to give them bone formation.
I never raise oats to sell. I always
raise them to feed on the farm. I cut
them at the proper time and thresh
ns soon as thoy will do so I get the
full benefit of straw which is worth
half Its bulk in hay. If It Is kept tn thq
dry. There is more profit In oats If
fed to good well-bred stock than to
scrubs. One way I havo found a profit
in the oat crop Is wo live In a country
where we ralso winter wheat. I ol-
svays had a better yield of wheat from
three to five bushels to the aero when
It followed an oat crop and could al-
ways mako a smoother surface to sow
grass seed for meadow. And when I
don't want to follow It with wheat I
fall plow It and turn tho stubble un-
der which makes a good fertilizer for
corn in the spring. James A. Teel

Combatlnff Weedi.
L. H. Bailey In the Principles ol
Vegetable Gardening says:
There is no royal road to wecdless
farming. Following are somo of the
means of keeping weeds In check:
1. Practice rotation; keep ahead of
tho weeds. Certain weeds follow cer-
tain cropB when these weeds become
serious change tho crop.
2. Change the method of tillage. It
a weed persists try deeper or shal-
lower plowing or a different kind ol
harrow or cultivator or till at differ-
ent times and seasons.
3. Harrow the land frequently when
It Is in fallow or Is waiting for a crop.
Harrow it if possible after seeding
and before the plants are high enough
to be broken by the Implement Pota-
toes corn and other things can be
harrowed aftor they are several inches
high; and sometimes the land may
bo harrowed before the plants are up.
4. Practice frequent tillage with
light surface working tools through-
out the season. This la hard on
weeds and does the crop good.
6. Pull or hoe out stray weeds that
escape the wheel tools.
6. Clean the land as soon as the
crop is harvested; and If the land
lies open in the fall till It occasion-
ally. Many persons keep their prem-
ises scrupulously clean in the early
season but let them run wild late In
the fall and thus Is the land seeded
for the following year.
7. Use clean seed particularly of
crops that are sown broadcast and
which therefore do not admit of till-
age. 8 Do not let the weeds go to seed
on the manure piles In tho fence cor-
ners and along the highway.
9. Avoid coarse and raw stable ma-
nure particularly If It Is suspected of
harboring bad company. Commercial
fertilizers may be used for a time on
foul land.
10. Sheep and pigs sometimes can
be employed to clean tho weeds from
foul and fallow land. Land infested
with Jerusalem artichokes is readllly
cleaned it hogs are turned In.
11. Induce your neighbor to keep
his land as clean as you keep your.
Rank pigweeds and their Ilk are a
compliment to a man's soil. Land
that will not grow weeds will not
grow crops for crops are only those
particular kinds of weeds a man
wauts to raise. Weeds have taught us
the lesson of good tillage. There la
no indication that they Intend to re-
mit their efforts in our behalf.
