The causes lending to the death
make the death a most pathetic one.

APPLES OF THE NORTHWEST.
Enormous Crop Purchased For Eastern
and European Markets.
Contracts have been closed in spo
Wane, Wash., b.v an eastern (Inn for
more than $000,000 worth of Washing
ton and Oregon apples for eastern and
European trade, and the purchaser ex
pects to reach the $1,000,000 mark he
fore returning home after looking over
the orchards in central Idaho a,at
western Montana. While in Spokane
he bought the entire output of first
und second grades grown in the Mead
ow lake orchards, estimated at 30.000
boxes, previous to which hu contracted
for'. 10.00?i boxes in the Hood river and
Muster districts in Oregon, buying
also '{5,000 boxes from the Humus or
chards at Walht Walla. Wash., and
15.000 boxes from the orchards at Car
field, Wash.
The purchaser said the prices receiv
ed by the growers in the Hood river
district were the highest ever paid for
their fruit. His purchases there ag
gregated .re than $200.000, ami he
paid as high as $2.50 a box. or ,"? ??cuts
a pound. He also paid $2.50 and in
several instances $2.io a box for
Washington apples of the tirst grade.
Much of the superiority of the west
ern apple over the product of the New
York districts Is in the picking and
pinking. C.rovvers fully understand
these advantages, and that is where
they are wise. Their fruit Is picked
ripe and carefully graded and honestly
packed, the result being that buyers
are pleased.
There Is not the least danger that
the growers in ttie northwest will over
do the apple Industry. They could
not do that even by doubling or
trebling the present orchard urea. The
apple crop of the United States was
about 07.000,000 barrels In 1800, and in
no year since then has it amounted to
more than o?.ono.ooo barrels. The pres
ent crop will not reach that figure.
When it is considered that the pop
ulation of the United States has In- j
creased probably by 20,000,000 since
1800, while the apple production has
fallen from 07.000.000 to 35.000.000 bar
rels, it can be readily seen that It Is ?
nut of question to think that the apple
growers in Washington. Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Colorado can ovcrsupply
the over Increasing market.
Utilizing Barn Manure.
Many farmers are beginning to save
their stable ami lot manure and also
to keep enough live stock to make
large enough quantities to Justify the
use of a spreader.
There are few farmers even at this
enlightened period who conserve all
the available plant food on their
farms. Then' has been much improve
ment along this line since the days
when barns were built without base
ments and the manure from the sta
bles was thrown outside, there to leacdi
through summer rain ami winter snow.
Much of the richness of this exposed
fertilizer Is soaked away into the sur
rounding soil with the water from
rain and snow. The land surrounding
theso manure plica was often so satu
i.Oamno a MANUmt smnvni n.
rated with this waste as to be unable
to support plant life. The strength of
this absorbed fertilizer was more than
plants could feed upon and live. Ex
periment has proved that manure thus
exposed loses in a few months nearly
or quite half Its value.
With the building of barns with
basement cellars a portion of this
waste was prevented, but much of the
liquid is still lost on most farms. Ce
mented manure cellars are the excep
tion, yet they pay a big dividend on
money invested. Cement is not expen
sive. Sand can he found on most
farm'-', or at least would cost little, and ;
any intelligent man can mix It and
spread it. With a cemented cellar and
a proper use of absorbents the liquid
can be nearly all saved, and it Is Ol
more value than the solid, being more
readily available for the use of plants.

To See The Wind.
S?'( ing the wind is a rare but easy
feat. The object wherewith it may
be seen is a common saw. On any
blowy day?the wind being, say. in
tin- north?hold your saw with the
end pointing, one to the east, the oth
er to tlie west. Take the saw as if
yon were going to cut the air upward,
and let the teeth, which are on ton.
tilt over till the Hat part Of the saw
is at an angle of 45 degrees with the
horizon. You will then sec the wind.
Looking along the teeth of the saw
you will Bee the wind pour over them
as plainly as you may see water pour

Advice to Women
A Message from a Famous
Beauty Specialist to Women
Lacking in Energy and
Vitality
Thousands of women vainly ;;t
tcnipt t<> improve their complex
ions and t<> remove blackheads,
crows' feet and other blemishes,
through the use of cosmetics. This
t rent incut fails because tho trou
ble lies far deeper than the skin.
They are suffering from impure
and impoverished Mood. This con
dition i.- in many enses due to a
cntnrrhal condition of the whole
system which finds its expression in
sallow, muddy complexion, dark
circled eyes, general weakness of
the system, and perhaps most
plainly in the weeping of mucous
membranes that i- commonly called
cat nrrh
In fact this whole tendency is.
properly speaking, Cntnrrh. Ban
ish this catarrh, and the complexion
will clear as if by magic, eyes will
brighten, faces become rosy and
shoulders erect. Perfect Ijoauty
goes only with perfect health, and
perfect health for women c'au only
lip obtained through one certain
treatment?-that which will curt?
cat an!i.
Mmo.Swift. New York, (ho famous
beauty specialist known through
out the world r.nd an accepted au
thority on all relating thereto,
states that tl.c one positive and
permanent relief for catarrh is
Itcxall Mucu-Tono. Here is her
letter:
"1 can strongly endorso the
claims made for Kcxall Mucu-Tonc
as n euro for systemic catarrh. Its
tonic effects arc remarkable. It
builds up the strength and restores
Vitality. If women who are tired
tind run down, lacking in energy and
vitality, will use Kcxnll Mucu-Tono,
thoy will praiso ns I doits strength
ening and healing tjualit ics."
Ucxall Mucu-Tono works througl
tho blood, acting thti-' upon 'h'
mucous cells t he congest ion nhd
inflammation of which causes local
catarrh. This remedy causes poisoti
to bo expelled from (lie system, and
i the Mood is purified and revjtab
ized. Thus the natural functions
of the mucous cells arc restored,
and the membranes are cleansed
