Fruit for Home and Market.

An inquirer wishes to know why we
recommend every owner of ground to
raise fruit for home use, but only those
who have specially favorable localitie
to raise it for market. This is easily
explained. The market fruit raiser
does not get such good pay as the home
consumer, because he must allow for
the additional expense of packing, rail
or steamer conveyance, agents fees, &c.
besides the risk and occasional heavy
loss of rotting and spelling, and forced
sales in overstocked markets. To meet
all these costs and contingencies, the
fruit must be raised cheaply and in
abundance, and must be SO fine that the
drawbacks of not being quite ripe or Of
being more or less bruised or injured
by keeping, will not spoil its sale.
The man who raises his own fruit and
consumes it ON his own table meets with
none of these difficulties, but picks bis
fruit fresh in his garden or orchard and
conveys it at once to the mouths of con.
sumers. He is not troubled with as.
sorting and packing, or express charges
and venders' commissions. He can
therefore well afford to raise fruit foI
his own family, even if he does moi
have very heavy crops, and does moi
have it SO perfect as to withstand
hundreds of miles of railway. The
market man, it is true, has one great
advantage. He otudies his business
we'll, selects kinds that will give the
finest crops and learns that cultivation
and management will bring the besI
results. But the home consumer may
do nearly as well if he is willing t.
take, at least to some extent, the sam,
care. Let him know enough of fruit,
to make good selection, procure hi;
trees or plants from reliable sources, SCI

1t is generally thought that there is
nothing easier than to give good advice.
1t is so abundant and cheap, it is said,
because 1t costs nothing. Now this
may be applicable to much of the trite

maxims that live upon the lips, but do
not come from the heart it may be
true concerning such exhortatiOns as
we have been in the habit Of hearing

Raising Chickens.

When it isdesired to make the chick
en-yard profitable, there must be at
tention paid to the settings of the hons.
The neglectiny of the setting of eggs,
until June and July will result in very
few chickens being hatched and those
so late that they will not do nearly as
well as early ones. The main difficult
ty in Matching eggs is that they are dis
turbed by other hens than the one set.
ting, and any precautions that will
obviate this difficulty will as a general
thing insure the Matching of a large per
cent of the eggs. Where the hens
that wish to set are of quiet and
phlegmatic disposition, they can be
taken from the nest where they have
first evinced a desire to brood, and
placed on nest with false eggs in re-
tired place, until they are attached to
the and will set there without leav-
ing it. 1t should be the aim to set two
or three hens at the same time, SO that
when the chickens are Matched all the
young chickens can be given to one
hen, as the hen can brood and care for
fifteen to twenty chickens as well as
three or four, and the other hen can
then be given a new setting of eggs af-
ter cleaning the nest out thoroughly
and whitewashing it.
In the country, where rats and
skunkS are not plentiful, aud the cats
are trained to leave them alone, the
main difficulty in raising chickeng is the
Matching of the eggs, and the setting Of
the hens should be attended to with
the determination to have chickens
enough Matched, even ifthe first broods
are not very successful. After the
chickens are hatched and given to the
mother hen, they should be placed in
small coops With a sheltered front,
where the hen can be confined, so that
the chickens can roam while the hen
is not permitted to do so. Good broods
of chickens have been drowned in one
night during big rain-storm for the
lack Of adequate protection from the
weather. Some take barrel, turn it

front, and call this coop. The bottom
of the coop, being composed of the bar
rels stayes, is lower in the centre than
it is at each end, and a big rain-storm
that beats in will fill this hollow with
water and chill and drown the chickens
in short time.
The best brood coop is in the form Of
V turned upside down, This can be
made by taking a wideboard and saving
off four lengths three feet long and
mailing them together in the required
shape, the crack between the front arc
back board should be battened with
shingles so the coop will not leak
The front Stats should be put on VI
and down as if they are put eros ways
the chickens will soon grow so big they
can not slip through between them
This coop should be set on floor o
boards which are nailed together on tw'
cleats. This will enable the coop to b,
taken off once a week and this bott n
board cleaned of the accumulated filth
A board one foot wide should be proved

Good vs.. Poor Stock.
Cor, Farmers Home Journal.

Cor, Farmers Home Journal.
1t is surprising to see what tan indiffer.
enoe is manifested on the part of farm.
ers, in regard to their stock and more
especially sheep. Not one farmer in
ten has sheep that I would take as a
gift, and be bound to keep them one
year for the profits. In the majority
of cases. they have the common native
sheep, which will not shear over four
or five pounds of wool, or weigh over
100 pounds carcass.
Is there any competent apology for
man to keep such sheep? No
thought is given to the improvement of
their Aocks but they continue, from
year to year, to use low grade bucks
until their stock runs down below a
paying profit, and then they finally sell
all their sheep and quit the business in
disgust.
In the place of expendiDg a few doll.
ars for the improvement of their focks
and bringing them up to paying stan.
dard, they sell their sheep and tell their
neighbors that sheep don't pay. All,
indeed! Did it ever occur to their
minds that it was their business to
make them pay? Growing corn or
wheat does not pay if person does
raise but half crop. Nothing, above
a mere living, is made on average crops.
So it is with sheep farming. To make
more than a mere living, you must
have improved stock. Keep apace
with the times. This is progressive
age, and to make money we must keep
up with the times, and not farm like
our fathers did forty years ago. What
would you think of doctor or lawyer
who, after he had received his diploma,
would stop his studies and make no
more improvement. In a very few
years, would he not be behind in his
profession? So it is with the farmer.
He must keep up with the improve
ments in agriculture and stock raising
or he will soon be left behind.
Never be content with what you
content, advancement would be slow.
No difference how good your stock is
there is room for improvement. The
standard has not yet been REACHED by
any mission of life. There is no mar
of any calling, who has achieved much
wealth or influences without improve
ment and cOntin,taLimprovement.
Besides the profit of keeping pure
bred stock, consider the pleasure. This
alone would doubly pay, for it costs nj
more to keep well bred animal thar
a scrub, after the expense of purchase
A man might as well buy a poor, worr
out farm, because it costs a little less
as to buy poor stock because they art
cheap.

An Incident of a Strike.

B. P. Shillaber narrates the fol.
lowing incident of a strike on the
Boston Post:
81 remember strike on The Post
many years ago, when Col. Charles
q. Greene was at its head. The
price per 1910 ems at that day was
twenty-five cents, and the deman
was for an increase of three cents.
The strike was not confined to The
Post, but was extended to all the
papers, it being under the auspices
of the Printers Union. Those
filling the several editorial depart
ments On the Post were all printers,
though a little rusty from disuse,
the Colonel himself having been in
former times very rapid compos>
itor, and 1t was determined to with
stand the demand until remedy
could be found. The men had been
modest, but firm, in their action,
though, as customary in such cases,
striking just at the time their ser
vices were most needed. They stood
about the Office, looking good natur
edly on the proceedings. The Colonel
took off his coat, IS did all his as
sociates, and prepared to pitch into
the WORK. The types were waiting
to be manipulated, and the Colonel
proceeding to the copy drawer,
procured take in nonpariel, as
solid as brick 1t was the rule to
take copy just as it came, and he
had no choice. He Piled his skill
diligently and did good work until
he had achieved a 'stickfull,' making
excellent time, but as he was read
ing in type that which he had set
up, he had occasion to lift up line
in order to correct an error, when it
'squabbled' irredeemably. This was
too much for his equanimity. Hel
looked at it moment with half
lugubrious air, and then taking
down his coat, he said laughingly to
the waiting printers, Boys, go toI
work It's worth it. They gave him
a hearty cheer and the strike ended
for that time. Printers in editorial
positions, nowadays, are rarely
found"

France and China.

Paris, Ella Liberte newspaper
says England is taking energetic
steps to bring about a treaty be-
tween France and China, and adds
that it has authorized information
which leads to the belief that peace
full negotiations have been made
during the past few days.
La Liberts states that the event
which the government is likely
to exercise in the Chambers
of deputies is not so much feat of
arms in Tonouin as China's adhe-
sion to the basis of the treaty which
has been suggested by England.
The Telegraph Gays: Marquis
Tseng sent a note to Prime Minister
Ferry, asking a suspension of war
preparations in Tonquin, to prevent
conflict which night compromise
negotiations.
La France says: Admiral Peyon
has telegraphed the projects of
maritime departments that since
the fresh dispatch of troops for
Tonquin, it is not expected that it
will be necessary to continue any
steps begun with shipowners.
The same paper asserts that Earl
Granville has informed Marquis
Tseng that if China does not make
an important concession, England
will leave France complete liberty
Of action.
