As the business aspects of frui

more to meet particular conditions
and for special rather than for genera
purposes, states the agriculture depart-
ment year book in discussing some
promisleg new fruits. For instance,
under present conditions one of the
most important requirements of a win-
ter apple in many sections is that It
have good cold storage qualities. Sum-
mer apples were for a long period a
minor commercialconsideration, but
for the past ten or fifteen years an im-
portant demand for them has develop-
ed in tbe eastern markets, which bas
greatly stimulated the planting of ear-
ly apple varieties in many sections
where formerly they were little 'val-
tied.
As the market demand for newer
fruits increases and their culture be-
comes of greater commercial tumor -
stance, new and better varieties or va-,,

needs will probably be developed. In

The best milk record of any Short-
horn cow is that of Bose of trienside,
made under the auspices of the Penn-
sylvanht Agricultural college. During
a test of twelve [mouths she produced
18,075 pouuds of milk and 735 pounds

twelve months she : produced 15,592
pounds of milk and 831 pounds of but-

The essential characteristic of Short-
horns is beef, but a beef breed that can
show a herd with more than forty
cows with milk records ranging from
10.000 to 13,232 pounds .is worthy of
the careful consideration of men who
want cows 'that will pay their way as
dairy animate aside from their ability
to produce profitable beef animals.
Such cows are well spited to present
day farm conditions. and the demand
for such is rapidly increasing, and the
men who are producing cows with
good milking qualities and acceptable
beef, form will have a pro&table mar-
ket for their surplus.

Fire Terms In ;Japan.
Fires in Japan are so common that
this destructive agency has estab-
lished itself as a national institu-
tion, and a whole vocabulary hila;
grown up to express every shade of'..
meaning in matters fiery. The Japa-
nese language has special terms for
an incendiary fire, an accidental fire,
fires starting from one's own house,
a fire caught from next door, a fire
which one shares with others, a fire
which is burning to an end, the flame
of a fire, anything—for instance, a
brazier, from, which a lire may arise;
the side from which to attack a fire in
order to extinguish it; a visit of con-
dolence atter a fire.—London Mail.

adopt the characteristic descriptive
common name of '-blister canker" for
the disease caused by this fungus.

Money Urgently Needed!
Their lot was never an easy one, oven
ander favorable conditions, They had to
struggle along through sheer hard work
and hand-to-mouth pinching and scraping.
Then came the blow. The husbunv'_was
stricken down with tuberculosis. The wife
was left with four little ones to keep. But
she faced the future bravely, buoyed up by
the hope that some day her husband will
come back. In the meantime, she has to
go out washing and cleaning every day, and
then force her tired -out body to do her own
work at nights.
Cases of this kind are numerous. They
always call for prompt relief. For unless
consumption is quickly treated its terrible.
effects herb many beyond the first victim.
At this moment money is urgently needed
so that medicine, nourishment, and treat-
ment may be taken to sufferers. ' We im-
plore you to contribute something NOW.
