A HARDIER ORANGE. The Agricultural Department Hopes to Revolutionize the Culture of the Fruit. John Zucca, the Chicago fruit dealer, forwards A. H. Cargill of Brookhurst the following interesting newspaper account of the efforts of the Department of Agriculture to produce a harder orange, by grafting different species of the fruit: Jack Frost is the deadly enemy of the orange industry. He is not content with invoking his mighty power to keep the cultivation of that luscious and golden hued fruit within the limited confines of Florida and Southern California, but he occasionally invades that semi-tropical territory and blows his blighting breath on the unprotected orange blossoms, with disastrous results. At the Department of Agriculture, I am informed, science is mustering her forces in battle array, with the determination to resist the expansion of the frost line, and, if possible, to plant hardy, fruit producing orange trees in the dominions now ruled by the capricious Frost King. Those interested in the orange growing industry are watching with hopeful expectation the experiments now in progress at the Department of Agriculture, which contemplate the enlargement of the orange producing regions. It is possible, and quite probable, that science will point the way to the cultivation of oranges, of the very best quality and flavor, which may be successfully and profitably grown not only in all parts of the Southern States, but also in the Eastern and middle divisions of the United States. A COMBINATION ORANGE. Through the courtesy of Herbert J. Webber and W. T. Swingle, of the vegetable pathological division of the department, I was permitted to visit the hothouses of the department where the experiments in orange culture are in progress. The work is intensely interesting, and thus far the results have been exceedingly encouraging in the direction of successfully combating the deadly assaults of the Monarch of Ice Land. The intention is to "marry" the beautiful and voluptuous Indian River orange and golden fruit of that general variety and quality to the hardy Japanese trifoliate orange (citrus trifoliata). A combination of their respective qualities, through the process of hybridization, is expected to produce the desired results, and perhaps revolutionize orange culture. Thus far the experiments are in the infantile stage, as the hybrids exhibited to me are follate and the good varieties of oranges and lemons commonly grown. Some of these hybrid plants show by their irregular tellobed leaves that they are intermediate in character between the parents, and do not exhibit the overwhelming preponderance of one or other parent shown by the hybrids of the orange and pomelo. If these hybrids are produced in sufficient numbers it may be reasonably expected that among them may be found some having the desired combination of characters—that is, the hardiness of the trifoliate orange and the size and quality of fruit of the ordinary orange and lemon. In undertaking to hybridize orange plants due regard is given to the fact that in many plants the stamens and pistils, when in the same flower mature at different times. In manipulating orange flowers mature buds nearly ready to open are selected. The tips are carefully pried apart until the stamens are exposed. In these flowers the anthers are attached to the filaments by very slender threads, which are easily broken, so that the simplest method of removing the stamens is to pull them off with fine pointed forceps. To cross fertilize the orange, it is necessary to open the flower buds a little prematurely, before the stamens have allowed the pollen to escape, and fertilize the stigma and cut the stamens out. Then transfer the pollen from the other species to the stigma by means of a brush, stick or blowpipe. During the process of emasculation great care must be exercised not to open the stamens and accidentally pollinate the flower. The flowers selected for emasculation and hybridization should be full sized. Those on the end of a twig frequently fruit best. In almost every instance the hybrids show greater vigor, enlarged growth and more fruit-bearing characteristics than the parent plants. In some of the hybrids the characteristics of the common orange predominate. In others the ruggedness of the trifoliate is more marked. The maturity of the hybrids, however, does not greatly affect its results as to quality of Agriculture. In stimulating and encouraging the pending experiments to the full extent of the resources of the department. The results looked for cannot be accomplished without the expenditure of considerable time, patience and money. It may be ten, fifteen or twenty years before the combination sought for materializes. These experiments are not confined to the orange, but crosses in grape fruit, limes, lemons and the dainty tangerine are undergoing scientific process, so that remarkable transformations are liable to occur in this particular department of the vegetable kingdom. POSSIBILITIES OF CULTURE. Among the possibilities is a successful cross of the juicy and seedless navel orange with the loose-skined tangerine practical work of hybridizing commenced. If the seedlings that are grown in southern trees develop a cannot be killed in blossom or by the winters in that season scientists will feel that they sufficiently repaid for all that Orange growing then would tend by the great risks that compass it.

The work is intensely interesting, and thus far the results have been exceedingly encouraging in the direction of successfully combating the deadly assaults of the Monarch of Ice Land. The intention is to "marry" the beautiful and voluptuous Indian River orange and golden fruit of that general variety and quality to the hardy Japanese trifoliate orange (citrus trifoliata.) A combination of their respective qualities, through the process of hybridization, is expected to produce the desired results, and perhaps revolutionize orange culture. Thus far the experiments are in the infantile stage, as the hybrids exhibited to me are scarcely two years old. The generation of an orange tree is five years, hence it will be three years more before the fruit from these hybrids will show the practical effects of the crossing of the two somewhat extreme varieties of the golden fruit. TO MAKE FRUIT MORE HARDY. "We do not expect to grow oranges in the ice-bound regions of the Klondike," said Mr. Webber, "nor do we expect to crowd all of the summer resorts off of the Jersey coast, and transform that famous mosquito producing section of country into a flourishing orange grove, but our experiments warrant us in believing that we may be able to produce a marketable variety of oranges, which may be grown considerably further north than at present. Understand, I do not mean to say that we expect to grow oranges of the finest quality and flavor as far north as New York. I am justified in believing, however, that we may in the course of time be able to extend the orange producing area as far north as Georgia, and probably South Carolina." In the meantime Mr. Webber had conducted me into his orange experimental station, located in one of the greenhouses of the department. It was carefully locked and protected, and the temperature was about seventy degrees. The benches were filled with plants, averaging about three feet in height. There were fine specimens of the trifoliate, the Florida orange and the hybrid, the latter showing the effects of the crossing or hybridization in a combination of the characteristics of the parent plants. In view of the great injury caused to orange and lemon trees in Florida, Louisiana and California by occasional visits of the Frost King, all mankind would be benefited if oranges and lemons of a desirable quality and flavor which are more resistant to cold than any now existing could be produced. By an expansion of the orange growing territory the competition in the orange market would be broadened and the prices of the delicious fruit would be materially reduced to the general consumer. The principal object of the experiments now going on at the Department of Agriculture is to extend the orange growing industry so that the supply may be so bountiful that this refreshing and stimulating fruit will find its way into the sick room and humble homes of the poor as well as the rich. THE JAPANESE ORANGE At present the trifoliate orange tree is used in hedge growing to a greater extent than as a fruit producer. It is said to be superior to the Osage orange for hedge purposes. Experiments have already demonstrated that hybrids may be made successfully between the tri- POSSIBILITIES OF CULTURE. Among the possibilities is a successful cross of the juicy and seedless navel orange with the loose-skinned tangerine. A combination of these two choice varieties of the golden fruit will tend to increase the consumption of oranges in the upper as well as the lower classes of society. At present oranges on a dinner table or at a reception are used largely for decorative purposes. It is too much trouble for the ordinary guest at social functions to bother with an orange. Besides, the inconveniences attending the removal of the skin are greater than the pleasure of eating the fruit, so that a hostess is apt to have few requests for oranges from her guests. A combination of the lusciousness of the navel variety and the easily removed skin of the tangerine would undoubtedly increase the popularity of the orange at swell social functions. Within a few weeks Mr. Webber will proceed southward with some of the well developed hybrids and plant them at various points in Florida and Georgia to test their hardiness. The plants to be thus tested are about two years old, and they are expected to begin bearing fruit within the next two or three years. Their development will be eagerly noted by all the orange growers of the country who are in sympathy with the movement to produce an orange tree that will withstand the treacherous touch of frost. FURTHER DETAILS. The Washington Star prints the following additional intelligence regarding this interesting subject: Manis seeking to improve nature's work upon the orange, and it is likely that he will be able to do it. If success crowns experiments now in progress the orange will become a hardy fruit, able to grow and bear even as far north as Canada, with skin that will peel off as easily as a tangerine's, and perhaps devoid of the seeds that now threaten the perils of appendicitis. Such a recreation of this luscious fruit—for that is what it would amount to—would deserve to rank with the greatest marvels of the end of the century. It would revolutionize and expand the orange-growing industry, and remove all danger from the frosts and freezes that now either blight or entirely destroy the trees and their fruit in the States where they are grown. The freeze in the southern States in 1894 and 1895 destroyed every orange tree, causing a loss upon the crop expected of nearly $5,000,000, and a damage to the industry in general that has been computed at the extraordinary figure of $75,000,000. It will be five years yet before orange-growing is on a paying basis and ten to fifteen years before the orange crop is as large as it was at the time of the disastrous weather. Since that time the agricultural department has been experimenting in the cross-fertilization of oranges in hope of producing one or more varieties that will resist the attacks of frost and that will possess other qualities not found in the fruit of today.

In spite of this prediction highest government sources observed tural information this same thistle is filling a long-felt northwestern Nebraska, and not grow in a wild state so prudent it would undoubtedly be cultured farmers and stockmen.

It is cheaper than any form of fuel in a country like States in which the Russian flourishes, because there is no abundance in abundance to be used for fuel bales of thistles are declared equal to a cord of wood in heat-producing and four bales a ton of coal. The cost of these nothing, as it can be secured by sands of tons in any draw on them. The manner in which we feed as fuel is novel.

The practical part of the work is being conducted under the supervision of H. J. Webber and W. T. Swingle, special agents of the division of vegetable physiology and pathology. Up to the present the experimental processes have been productive of the results expected, but the most interesting and delicate stages are yet to come. In the greenhouse there are at least 1,000 hybrid growths from the seeds that have been crossed, and this spring many of them will be taken to the southern States and grafted on the orange trees growing there. Then at least three years must elapse before the grafted trees will begin to bear the fruit that is to be hardy, sweet, loose-skinned and perhaps seedless. In 1892 Messrs. Webber and Swingle were in the South studying the diseases that affect oranges, and the need of a harder orange than the usual varieties was brought to their attention. This was emphasized by the disastrous frosts of 1894 and 1895. The growers had sought to overcome their foe by selecting for planting and developing seeds from only the hardiest of the trees growing in their fields, but even these succumbed to the severe attacks of the invading cold. In the meantime experiments conducted by Mr. Webber in this city turned out unfavorably, through no fault of his own. It was not until 1897 that he succeeded in hybridizing the orange in a way to insure the favorable result of planting or grafting. He had found, prior to the hybridizing, that the Japanese trifoliate orange, although its fruit is small and of little value except for preserves, is delicious, and so hardy that it can be grown without protection as far north as Philadelphia. A number of these trees had been planted in the department grounds, and, in spite of the cold, had borne fruit, small and bitter. It occurred to him to cross the Japanese variety with the different kinds that flourish in the south to get the hardy quality. The practical work of hybridizing them commenced. If the seedlings that are grafted on the southern trees develop a fruit that cannot be killed in blossom or maturity by the winters in that section, the scientists will feel that they have been sufficiently repaid for all their efforts. Orange growing then would not be attended by the great risks that now encompass it. In addition, if a hardy orange can be produced that will live in the north, and yet have the sweetness and juiciness of the southern fruits, then the work of nature will have been wholly improved by the hand and intelligence of man. RUSSIAN THISTLE A BOON? When it First Appeared It Was Regarded as a Menace to Agriculture. LINCOLN, Neb., March 15.—The State Agricultural Department has received recently some interesting information relating to the use of the Russian thistle in Nebraska as food for all lines of stock and as fuel for heating purposes. Thousands of tons of this extraordinary plant are now being consumed annually in this State for such purposes. According to the information the department has secured the Russian thistle, which only a few years ago was considered a dangerous menace to the agricultural interests of the entire Missouri valley, has proved to be one of the best grazing plants known to this region. For the last two years various farmers' organizations have been experimenting with the plant, and it is asserted that there is no longer any doubt as to the utility of the weed. For practical purposes the Russian thistle is regarded in Nebraska to be more valuable than alfalfa. The history of this plant is unique. Today there are laws on the statute books of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska which offer a premium for the extirpation of the thistle. Of course these laws are now dead letters, as the commercial value of the plant has been established. Five years ago the Russian thistle first made its appearance in the West in South Dakota and it was believed that the agricultural prosperity of the State was threatened by the weed. The stock range was covered with the new growth and its extraordinary vitality was shown by vast beds of thistles in pots so barren as to refuse to grow other forms of vegetation. The rapidity with which the growth spread over the region between the Missouri river and the mountains caused some people to declare the land would again revert to the savage state of the prairie. The Department of Agriculture at Washington sent out men to investigate the situation and many government bulletins were issued on this Hope for the Sick The strongest desire of the sick is to get well. Nobody in good health can realize the intensity of this longing. It is so strong that unless relief comes it turns to hopelessness—and hopelessness kills. Certainly no one can afford to neglect a remedy that brings hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, health to the sick; a remedy that, like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, gives absolute proof that it has cured every form of disease. It is advertised to cure you can obtain the proof upon application, stating your trouble and giving your address. No sugar from any disorder of the blood or nerves should fail to write us. Mr. L. E. Browning, of Piscino, Col., says: "About two years ago I was very sick with blood poisoning, caused by an abscess that had not received proper treatment. The disease for a time settled in my throat, causing insomnia. Then inflammatory rheumatism set in. Hands so swollen that I could not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet and hands made walking impossible. After considerable treatment my arthritis brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. You said, 'and this is the best medicine I know of that purpose.'" In less than a week I learned a great improvement. Soon my rheumatism was gone. A few weeks day and now am in the best of health. The genuine package always bears the full name.

It is cheaper than any other form of fuel in a country like the four states in which the Russian thistle furishes, because there is no timber abundance to be used for fuel. Two kinds of thistles are declared to be equal to a cord of wood in point of meat-producing and four bales equal to ton of coal. The cost of the weed is nothing, as it can be secured by thousands of tons in any draw on the prairie, the manner in which the weed is used fuel is novel. A heavy sheet-iron vessel like the old-fashioned washboller fed for the two-syed cooking stove is known. The thistle is thrown into this trampod down as hard as possible when the vessel is inverted over the place where it is to be consumed. The essence of air up in the vessel prevents flames extending too rapidly in heat direction and the fuel drops gradually into the body of the stove as the burns its way into the mass of fuel. The plan actually gives many of the advantages of a self-feeding fuel. Louis P. Cummings is one of the largest farmers and stockraisers in Nebraska. His ranch and farm are near Rushville, Neb. He is President of the grange of his district. In speech before the organization a few days ago he said: "My first use of the thistle was last winter, when I fed it all to horses and cattle. Though at first a little shy they soon learned to eat it with avidity. I found that cattle of all ages, including the young calf just beginning to eat hay, will eat the thistle and grow fat on the weed. During the present winter my horses and cattle have mainly fed on thistles gathered from my own place, which I stored as fodder early in the fall. The stock even fed to advantage on the thistles as they stood in the field, but I believe much of the nutritious element of the weed is lost by leaving it in the weather. When in February the stock could no longer feed on the thistles in the field because of the weather I began foddering them from thistles which I had cut and staked in the open on August 31, 1897. It is proper to note that this date is rather late for harvesting thistles for fodder, as the weed becomes old at that time and the thorns become brittle enough to stick severely. Still, I had cut and staked them before they were thoroughly dried, as an experiment and partially because I could do no better at that time. During the present winter I have fed the thistles to a large number of young stock of all kinds and I find them the equal of anything I can In re estate of Christ, deceased.—Petition for letters of administration.

Snow Balling. About one young woman in ten nowadays would dare to run out bare headed and bare handed and snow ball in midwinter. They have to be muffled up like hot-house flowers before they dare venture out in severe weather, and even then would shudder at the thought of rolling in the snow as their grand-mothers did. The trouble lies in the fact that too few men enjoy perfect health and strength the special womanly organism. A woman who is not well and strong locally can enjoy good general health. Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important trans concerned in wifehood and motherhood. It is the most perfect and scientific remedy ever devised for the peculiar affections of women. It restores womanly power, strength and virility. It tones and molds up the nerves which have been shattered by suffering and disease. It corrects irregularities and derangements and helps exhausting drink. It restores weak, nervous invalids to perfect health. It is intended for this class of disorders and good for no other. It is the discovery of R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalid's Hotel and surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.Y. No other known medicine can take its place. I have been troubled with female weakness at my physician called catarrh of the womb," Mrs Miss Tean Conner, of Catfish, Clarion Co., died for it and did not get better. Last month we heard a thing Dr. Pierce's prescription got rather right along and when I took four bottles was cured. I recommended the 'Pavorite Prescription' to a friend. She has been using it and thinks it wonderful." Constipation is a little illness that if reflected builds a big one. Dr. Pierce's assistant Pellets cure constipation.

Didn't Mean it. "John," said a young Capitol Hill wife the other morning at breakfast, "if you don't really want auntie to come here on a visit, I'll cancel the invitation. I want to please you more than anyone else, you know." "Don't want your aunt to come?" said he, looking up from his coffee with a mystified expression. "How on earth did you ever get hold of such an idea as that? Who said anything about not wanting your auntie to come?" "Well, of course, you didn't exactly say it in so many words, and you were asleep and didn't know what you were saying, too," she replied. "But last night you said in your sleep four or five times, and in the most reproachful way in the world: 'It's your aunt.' Now, if she even disturbs your sleep then surely you can't really like her when you are awake, and you only let me invite her to please me, and—" And then John, who knows the difference between a bob flush and a pat full, and who, when he is dealing, is very particular about having the man on his left skate his ante to the center of the table and smile before the cards are disheated out, squared it by saying that what a man says in his sleep doesn't count, and the aunt will be along on schedule time.-Washington paper. The Astute Lion. One day a toothless lion, whose muscles were unstrung by age, lay in a shady place by the streamlet side. He set up a dismal groaning, which soon drew a crowd of hyenas around him. "What is the matter?" they asked. He explained to them that the days of his kingship were over, and with tears pouring down his face protested that he was unable to defend himself against even the weakest of his enemies. On learning this, the hypocritical sympathy before shown by the hyenas changed at once to open malice. They threw themselves upon the prostrate monarch and worried him with their teeth. Inside of five minutes they all lay rigid in death. "Golly," chuckled the lion, "I'm glad I took the precaution to dust my hide with strychnine before I tested the kindness of these good friends. A fellow learns something by having been in politics." So saying he calmly went to sleep.—Oriterion. His Worst Offense. When it was proposed to lessen the list of crimes punished by death, Lord Eldon objected to the noose being banished in cases of petty shoplifting. "The small shopkeepers will be ruined by this exemption," said the old Tory lord chancellor. Another Tory, a judge, so venerated the sovereign that he included in his regard any article belonging to the king, no matter how far removed from actual possession. A tailor had been condemned for the murder of a soldier, and the judge tacked on this addition to the sentence of death: "And not only did you murder him, but you did thrust or push or pierce or project or propel the lethal weapon through the belly band of his breeches, which were his majesty's!" Past Salaries of Actors. A number of autograph letters of Edmund Kean supply some interesting information about the salaries of actors early in the century. One relates to an offer by Mr. Ellison offering Kean £8 a week as acting manager of "the new theater in Wych street." Later this rose as high as £25 a month. In 1826 Kean was offered $12,000 a year to go to America. In the prime of his popularity he received £200 for a week in Edinburgh, and apparently reached the highest point when Mr. Bunn wrote from the Theater Royal, Dublin, on Feb. 8, 1829, and offered him £50 a night to play in Dublin and Cork.— CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Life of a Battleship. Naval experts have put down the active life of a modern battleship at about 15 years.

A line of battle ship, the Royal William, was built at Chatham in 1670 and was not broken up until 1818, being rebuilt several times before her final demise.
