Editor Better Fruit: . 



I am interested in fruit growing and take three 

 fruit papers, but "Better Fruit" beats them all. 

 I would not be without it if it cost $3 per year. 

 Yours truly, Willard L. Fulkerson, Interlaken, 

 New York.

Editor Better Fruit: 



The four copies to hand, and in reply to your 

 letter will say, you speak of making it better. 

 I don't see how you can do it. It is a wonderful 

 paper now. Yours, F. W. Steubine, Auzora, 

 Missouri.

Editor Better Fruit: 



I am sending you herewith the fruit classification 

 as adopted by the Washington State Horticultural 

 Association. The new classification gives every 

 section of the Northwest equal opportunity, owing 

 to the fact that the favored apple of each locality 

 has been recognized, and the competition placed on 

 each separate variety instead of on collections. Of 

 course we will have collective exhibits for grow- 

 ers, but the great value of this classification to 

 this fair is the fact, as stated before, that it places 

 all localities upon an absolutely equal basis and 

 gives us the competition we desire among the 

 actual producers. Sincerely yours, Jno. W. Pace, 

 secretary. North Yakima, Washington: 



Your committee appointed to consider the mat- 

 ter of classification of apples and fruits for exhi- 

 bition and premium purposes at the state and 

 other fairs, after having given due consideration 

 to the favored products of all localities and sec- 

 tions of the state and Northwest, beg leave to 

 report the following conclusions, and suggest to 

 fair managers that they embody the same in their 

 catalogues : 



1. That we deem the twelve apples named in 

 section 1 as first in commercial importance and 

 prominence: Jonathan. Rome Beauty, Wagener, 

 Spitzenberg, VVinesap, Yellow Newtown, Northern

Denatured Alcohol in 

 Solid Form 



Cleveland Special Dispatch — September — A well- 

 known Wheeling, West Virginia, chemist has succeeded 

 in producing chunks of denatured alcohol in crystal 

 form, by means of a small infusion of certain acids, 

 very closely resembling physiologically the effects of 

 ethyl alcohol distilled from sawdust. The method 

 employed and the results obtained are somewhat simi- 

 lar to the crystallizing of rock candy or that of sac- 

 charine, containing as it does 350 times the sweetening 

 strength of cane sugar, so this alkaloidal crystallized 

 alcohol contains many times the strength of the ordi- 

 nary denatured fluid alcohol. They will yield 194-proof 

 denatured alcohol, with a greater heating and cooking 

 power for stoves than gasoline, and it is absolutely 

 non-explosive. 



A sample can containing 50 solid cubes, a 

 stove and the secret formula showing how simple 

 it can be made at home, will be mailed to you, 

 postpaid, on receipt of $5.00, or express C. O. D.
