How q Husband May Make His

Always complain Of being tired and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should always have evey-
thing in readiness for You, but you
should not 10 anything FIR her.
When your wife asks for money give
her nickel and ask her what she in
tends to do with it.
Thcn go down town and spend ten
times the amount for cigars, for they
are necessity.
Go down town of an evening, stand
around on th c corner and talk politics;
it's more interesting than to say at
home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip, but
you can spin all the yarns yon like.
Have your wife get up and make the
fires, but DON'T you get up until the
rest of the family are eating breakfast,
as you might take cold.
Wear old cloths and make yourself
as untidy as possible until your wife's
health fails, th-n it would be best to
tX up some, for in al probability you
will want another when she is gone.
Have a smile for everybody you
meet, bat try and get frown on be-

Picking Apnles.

The proper way of picking and packing Of
apples is of great Importance. The est
keeping sorts will not be preserved well un
less the fruit is uninjured in gathering, and
packed securely. Tie most approved meth
OIL of picking is by hand, with ladders, tn,
irnit being put INTO a grain sack. II e
bottom and top Of the sack are brought to
gether and tied, and then hung uron the
shoulder, A short stick may he used to
keep the mouth of the sack open The sack
is quickly and easily emrtied by lowering
the mouth end aud lifting upon the bottom.
The sack can be lowered into the barrel and
they will run out without being bruised as
when they are poured in from basket from
the top. Many apple growers prefer TO put
the fruit in heaps for few days that the
skin may toughen before barreling. In
short the aim In picking should be to not
bruise the fruit, and in this way enhance its
keeping quality. The fruit should not
move about in the barrels during shipment
and to this end the apples must be shaken
down when the barrel is halt full and again
when full, after which the head is put on
and pressed into place with considerable
force. 1t is much better to have the upper
apples somewhat flattened than to leave the
fruit so it will stir in the package. The op,
poslte head should be marked as the one tC
to be opened. The mistake is sometime:
made ofnot sorting the fruit. Make at leas
two qualities or grades, and mark eact
package with its grade, This will secure
uniformity in the fruit in each barrel, and
better price. There is much to be gained
in the way of a reputation for careful pick
lng,honcst asserting and the proper packing
OF all kinds Of fruit.-AmerIean Agricuitur

FARMERS COLUMN.
A Review of the Year.

As the more active portion Of The year
draws to a close, IL is well for the farmer to
look back over the busy months just past
and draw some lessons from the season.
This is not only pleasure, but duty, and
all the more the duty when there is little or
no pleasure in such retrospect. It may be
that some of the crops have failed, and it
should he the work oithe more quiet months
of late fall and winter to find out the causes
of these failures, and take all possible
measures to prevent their recurrence. As
an example il may be that the field Of wheat
yielded only half crop, and was therefore
without profit. This may have been the ef-
feet of one or more causes. Was the soil too
poor? A good crop Of wheat does not grow
upon which plants must feed. There must
be supply OF potash ahd phosphOric acid,
and especially Of nitrogen in an available
form-in short, soil to be fertile must
abound in those materials which are re-
moved in a crop, and may be returned
again in the manure that is made from such
crops. If the crop was POOR, in many cases
manuring or otherwise enrichiug the soil
will insure a yield for the coming year.
But richness is not everything, and the
farmer may see bis crop fail on a soil that
has enough Of the various ingredients of
plant growth. The mechanical texture of
the soil may be at 'ault. A wet soil is not
a productive one. Agricultural plants can
not do well in earth when the roots are
surrounded by water, but by draining, wet,
cold land often becomes very productive
one.
Again, on soil rich and mellow, the par
tal or entire failure Of the crop may be in
the seed, or the sowing, or both. The value
of good seed is beyond question, and only
the best should be used. There is a great
| difference in varieties, and a superior sor
is cheapest at any cost. The farmer may
judge of the quality of his seed by noting
what his neighbors use, and the crops they
get under similar conditions, when his owl
fields have not given good returns. Fur
thermore, test may be made by sowinl
different varieties side by side. We do no
advocate testing many sorts, but do enougl
of this experimental work to keepabreas
with the progress IN the improvement o
varieties. There are failures due to the raw
ages of insects, or to conditions OF clmat
prevailing Tor the season. If insects hav
been destructive, it is important to becom
acquainted with their habits, that any an,
all means may be taken to meet them. II
short, farming, as now pro6taby pursued
needs constant study, and during the com
paratIve leisure of the winter, every on
should review the past, and plan for bette
results in the future -American Agricul
