Preparinc Fruit for Market.

Farmers are cheats" we heard city man
remark the other day. Il do not buy ba
ket of strawberries that has not the best and
biggest on top, and when the peach season
comes / get dozen or two of fine peaches a.
the top while the rest of the basket is filed
with small. green and gnarled fruit; they are
all cheats" The very next day after hear
ing this remark We were among the fruit
commission houses, and in one place saw
some young men who had bought several
crates OF berries TO peddle. They
had a lot Of smaller baskets, to which
they transferred the berries from the larger
ones they had bought, and as they Fl lei
these, they topped them with the largest ber-
ries with surprising dexterity. We con-
Guided that all the cheating, in strawberries
at least, was not done by the farmers. That
there is much "deaconing'' the market
phrase for topping) of peaches and other
fruits, we do not doubt, yet the tendency is
all IN the other direction. Take pea h
growers, for example those who are regular
~ in the business, and expect to continue it,
strive TO make their brand upon a crate or
basket guarantee of honest packing. This
is insisted upon at all the meetings OF peach
growers. Only recently we received the
transactions OF fruit growers society in
North Carolina, in which this
upon at great length. Honesty
is the best policy" is not a proverb of the
highest moral tone, as it implies that it pays
to be honest, but the peach-growers are will
ing TO adopt il. IN packing peaches, the first
point should be TO assort them, making as
many grades as the condition of the fruit re-
quiTes. When brought to the packing shed,
the fruit is at once thinly spread in the shade,
IN order that it may cool as much as possible
In asserting any that are at all soft are put
aside, to be left at home; then two or three
qualities, extras, hrsts and seconds, are made,
and with the beet growers the packages of
each are alike all through. 1t is allowable to
turn the colored sidGs of the top layer upper
most, in order that the fruit may appear at
its best, but not to select large specimens for
the top layer. Those who send peaches
10 market for the first time, will find il to
their advantage TO observe this rule. In
packing grapes for market, the box is opened
at the bottom. fine large punches are laid in
and the box filled up with smaller punches.
This is done in order that the fruit, when the
top is taken of, may present good appear
ance, and il the filing is done with good
huit, even if not the most select, there is no
harm done. Buff as is sometimes the case,
poorly -ripened iruit, and even loose berries
are used to fill up, the grower will in time
find that his brand is not in demand in the
market. Toe fruit grower, who expects to
continue in business, can not afford to pack
his fruit dishonesty.

Spare the Toads.

There is no better abused, and probably no
more useful creature in the garden and upon
the fam thsn the toad. That apt smile,
like a toad under harrow" tells the story
of his wrongs. And now that our harrows
are aimed with steel teeth, and are supple
mented with clOd crushers and cnltivators of
various types for comminuting the soil, the
sorrows of the toad are intensified, and ne is
threatened with extinction in all cultivated
fields. Stay thy hand from slaughter, tIller
of the soil. The toad is as useful in his
place as the implements of tillage you drive
over his back so thoughtlessly. 1.-The Jewel
in his head" is not there, but in his ca pacious
stomach, that always has room in it for one
more bug, one more worm, that destroys the
food OF man. Watch his habits for day,
and observe the lightning thrusts of his
tongue as he scoops in your enemies. and you
will have better appreciation OF his work,
and of his place in good husbandry. II your
garden is without toads, you can afford to
purchase them for stock. They will pay good
dividends, as surely as superphosphate.

Green Corn for Pigs.

In the summer and early fall feeding of
pigs, we have found sweet corn one of the
best and most convenient kinds OF fodder.
Pork is made 10 the best advantage by putting
the pigs, as soon ss they are weaned from the
SOW and have learned TO eat milk and meal,
into the pen, and keeping them there under
full feed until they are ready for slau 2hter in
November or December. With a good breed
OF swine there is no difficulty IN making
March pigs weigh from $50 TO 500 pout dc,
at eight or nine months old. With plenty
of Indian meal and skinned milk
they will grow rapidly until the corn is large
enough TO cut. About the lst of August his
should be given as an additional ration. The
pigs will eat the green stalks and leaves with
the greatest relish after the ears have been
plucked. II is an excellent appetizer, helps
the digestion of more solid food, and pro-

may not be quite so nutritious, but no better

Mr.. J. M. Stahl writes as follows on the

Swine are subject to the same laws that
govern the health of other animals. Vege-
isble end animal matters, in a decaying
state. when introduced into the system, are
detrimental to health. Such matters are
readily introduced with water, being taken
directly into the stomach, soon pass to the

The blood is the foundation OF

If disease has entered the system
the o,sIy sure and quick way TO drive

These simple facts are well

Oak" and in some localities known as
''MaIcury.' is often the cause of great dis
tress. The vine Is abundant all over the
country, one form being low, running
alorg on banks and rambling over stone
walls. Another form climbs the highest
trees, clingiDg To the bark by its many root
let's. IL is often confounded with the Vir-
GINA Creeper; indeed. We have known il to
be planted as an ornamental vine, it having
been mistaken for that. The two are readily
told apart, the Virginia Creeper having its
dark-green, shiny leaves. five-parted, while
the light green leaves of the poison vine are
tbre-psrted. The Poison Ivy is so
very abundant that were all
tqutlly susceptible to its influence, We
should hear much more OF its effects than
we do at present. With many the poison
produces only slight eruption on the skin
and an intense itching. Others are more
seriously affected and the face swells up to
such an extent that the features are hardly
visible. Nearly every locality has its popu-
lar remedies for the poison, and new ones
are frequently proposed. AS general thing
most cases are relieved by keeping the bowels
open by the use of salts, and washing the
eruptions with a strong solution of sugar OF
lead. The latest remedy, which is now 60
ing the rounds, is to battle the affected parts
with lime water applied as hot as it can be
borne. This is simple, the remedy is usually
at hand and is worth trying, as other alkaline
washes have been found useful. No harm
can result.
