The most common appliance is a bag, for which the oil drops to the water. This is hung from over the side of the vessel, where it slowly empties its contents. A thick mineral oil has been found the best.

Its effect is to stop the breaking of the waves, converting the seas into long swells. With tows of one or more vessels, the use of oil from the steamer has been found very beneficial in protecting the boats in tow from receiving the destructive breaking seas on their decks.

He being the apple king, with an experience of 38 years in Kansas, 30 of which have been spent in apple culture, his methods, from his own lips, ought to be of interest not only to all farmers of Kansas but to all citizens, who have any interest in the product adapted to the State. "In planting apple trees use land in as good a state of cultivation as for other crops.

Make the rows north and south, 32 feet apart, by turning a straight plow furrow to the west and another to the east, say 20 inches from the first; the strip thus left is thrown out by another round with the plow, the last furrow being about 10 inches deep. In the bottom of this dead furrow, running a listing plow with sub-soiling attachment and then cros8-mark-king with any device to indicate the location for the trees, 16 feet apart in the rows, completes the preparation of the ground. Thrifty 2-year-old trees are considered the best, although those a year older are not objectionable." EDWARD 8. KELLBY, Attorney at Law, Keppler's Block, State street, St. Joseph.

40 Ship street, St. Joseph. Our Growing Power. A glance at the pages of the European newspapers of any day in any week gives gratifyingproof of the growingiDfluence of the United States upon the affairs of the world. Until a time that is not more than thirty years back all that interested the politicians of the old world in the conditions of this republic was the state of its crops; a shortage of wheat, cotton, tobacco, or meat in the United States meant a diminution of the supply, or an increase of the price, of things that the manufacturing districts of Europe are compelled to purchase from us.

But until recently it never eutered the minds of European journalists, statesmen, or manufacturers to apprehend in the republic of the United States of America a strong competitor in the markets of the world and a possible rival in those policies that are universal in their application. And yet today it is admitted by most, and feared by a few, of the statesmen of Europe that Hawaii and ultimately Cuba will pass into the dominion of this republic. Our just claims in Samoa are recognized, and the possibilities-remote as they may be of the annexation of Canada by the vote of a majority are apprehended. This condition of relationship to the policies of the old world is an outcome of strict adherence to George Washington's wise counsel against "entangling alliances." We have, as the grand old dames of Rome did. "stayed at home and spun our wool." We have minded our own business strictly, until our business has grown to be so vast that it overflows our shores and invades, though in a friendly spirit, those of other countries.

While increasing our own business we have given employment and homes to millions of the poorer people of the old world, and while making them to be Every Saturday Tourist Sleeping Car Route to California.

We grow more wheat than we can consume, we produce more cotton than we can weave, we manufacture more iron than we can use. we are the best, and soon shall be largest, producers of machinery; marvelous as the growth of our urban population has been and is likely to be. we still produce, and are likely to continue to produce, more food than we need.

The foreign commerce of the United States no longer safely can be carried in foreign ships, nor can it safely be left to the courtesies of friendlv nations in the always possible event of a war. Hawaii already is a necessity to us. Control of the route of the Nicaragua canal will become a necessity. A coaling station in the West Indies is needed.

Samoa suffices for our present needs in Oceanica. Hut thus it has come to pass that by close obserance of Washington's chution against foreign alliances we have, become a Nation whose policies are world1 wide. In the future, as in the past, alliances with European powers should be avoided. Long centuries will pass, probably and pouring it into the hole in the wood and cutting out the lead to fit the hole. The part that goes into our pencils other than the lead is cedar and comes from the swamps of Florida.

It is obtained from the fallen trees that lie there. There are men there who make a business cf supplving to pencil manufacturers this cedar in blocks which are sawed to the length of the pencil, some thick, to receive the lead, and others thin, for the piece that is glued over the other containing the lead. The blocks are sawed for four pencils each. The groove is made by a saw, and in this the lead lies. "I know," continued the manufacturer, "that not one out of ten thousand persons has the least idea of what this lead is.

PROTECTS TOWS FROM HEAVY SEAS. Men who sail the great lakes are at last taking to the use of oil tanks to break the destructive effect of waves during storms. Through the effects of the United States hydrographic office, captains have become better acquainted with the marvelous effect a small quantity of oil will have upon breaking seas. For a long time lake sailors bad a strong prejudice against the use of oil, seemingly regarding it as an evidence of weakness, if not positive cowardice. For a time this feeling was so strong captains would not admit they had spread oil on the waters even when it had saved them from what might have been serious disaster.

With the coming of fall storms this season, sentiment hascbanged wonderfully. A large number of boats are being equipped with appliances for the Apple King of tie World. Judge Wellhouse is called the apple king of the world. His orchards, in Kansas, says the Kansas City Times, consist of 1,630 acres, containing 100,000 apple trees, and are located in the counties ot Leavenworth. Miami and Osage.
