The FRUIT PRoBLEB.-A problem which
will soon confront multitude of fruit
growers, especially in such lines as prunes,
will be whether the man who raises fruit
on small or moderate scale can compete
with the big growers. The advantages will
be with the latter. They can afford every
facility for caring for and curing their crop
in the most economical way, and the volume
of their production will enable them to sell
at better prices. There is an apparent mar.
gin of nearly four cents per pound in the
price of Italian prunes in the Portland mar
ket as quoted to the producers and by the
wholesale dealers to the retail merchants.
The men who raise fruit on a.large scale
will be able to get the advantage of the
greater part of this margin but the smaller
producer will get the lower figures. Unless
the small producers can adopt some plan of
cooperation which will place them on
more even footing with large growers, the
money will nearly all be made by the latter.

certain minor miscellaneous receipts, no
state school tax being levied. The amount
distributed by this state during the school

TOO MUCH MENAGERlE.
Why Captain in the Federal Army Re
came Very Angry.

Why Captain in the Federal Army Be
came Very Angry.
Any one who will take upa catalogue
of names and glance casually through
IL would be surprised to see how ludi-
crous are sometimes the cognomens I'M
der which portions of mankind labor.
1t is useless for the poet to assert:
There's nothing in a name" The I'M
fortunate schoolboy who condescends
to sport the unromantic John Jones"
or the ludicrous "Snodgrass' thinks
otherwise. Perhaps the most common
names used by men for family designa-
ton are those of animals. and when
several congregate of such a stripe
there is going TO be fun in the mem
agerie.
An incident occurred during the civil
war which aptly illustrates this.
In the pretty country town of War
renton there was stationed, just after
the surrender, a regiment under the
command of Capt. Brown.
Now, the said Capt Brown was a
choleric individual. There was to be
peace, and the gallant captain had deter
mined to exercise very strict surveil-
lance over the defeated ''rebs !"
So one fine day he had every citizen
come up and register
Now. it happened that in the small
compass of Warrenton lived several
gentlemen of rather striking names A
Mr.. Lyon kept a restaurant Mr.. Coon
was auctioneer, Mr.. Hare ran bar
room, while a store boosted of a Mr..
Bear as its proud proprietor.
1t also happened that these gentlemen
should arrive in the registering precinct
together.
Your name, sir?" demanded the
clerk to the first who presented him
self
Bear" was the reply, and Bear went
down on the book
''Your name, sir?" was asked of the
second
"Coon." came the placid rejoinder,
and Coon followed Bear on the ledger.
Your name, sir?"
Lyon" the third man answered,
quietly.
The clerk looked up with puzzled
expression, but the gallant captains
nose rose in the air, and his eye began
to flash as he anxiously awaited for the
fourth man to be Intercepted.
He began to imagine they were as
Stunning names to falsify the estimate,
and he waXed as wrathy as hornet in
glass bottle.
''Your name, STRIP came from the
busy pen-pusher
Hare" innocently replied the un-
conscious man.
This was more than the captains al
ready boiling blood could stand. He
sprung to his feet with wild army
oath, and, shaking his clinched fist in
the face of his astonished victims,
shouted:
This thing has gone about far
enough. If you try to palm any more
of you blasted animals on me I'll slap
the last one of you in jail
And the procession OF four departed,
''sadder, but wiser men. "-Philadel-

SHIPMENT OF FRUIT.
Mistakes to BE Avoided and Precautions
Essential to Success

Some skill IS required for meeting all
the conditions for successfully shipping
fruit by the wholesale quantity, over
long lines of railway, with perfect
safety, so that when the packages are
opened the specimens may be as plump
and fresh as in the hour when they
We're taken from the tree. Apples are
commonly packed in barrels and pears
in half barrels. and TO prevent any
rafting or shaking, or bruising in tran
sit they must be firmly pressed to-
gether. There is a certain natural
elasticity in these fruits as they ap-
proach maturity, and before they be-
come soft, before which they are hard
er and unyielding. The kegs or barrels
before filling are placed temporarily
upside down, and the contents grad
ually and carefully laid in them, with
an occasional jarring to bring them
compactly together They should be
about an inch more than level full the
lever pressure on the head and the
elasticity of the fruit making them
solid and unyielding. The barrel is
then turned right end up and the
directions marked on it for shipment.
They viii then go safely thousand
miles or more, if the work has been
well performed.
Some packers, wishing to make the
fruit appear better in quality than it
really is, face" or "pelit'' each pack
age with better specimens than the
average, by placing select ones at the
bottom when about TO begin filling the
kegs or barrels, bring these first to
view when the heads are reversed and
opened. This is deception, which no
honest man will practice. The first
fruit exhibited should be fair exhibit
tion of the whole contents.
The mistake is sometimes made of
including single specimens, when too
ripe or soft, as in case of the packer of
Bartlett pears, who saw one so fine and
handsome, although turning yellow
with ripeness, that he was tempted to
include it in the package. 1t had lost
its elasticity, and, becoming soft,
yielded to the pressure of the hard
pears around it, and was crushed and
destroyed by the jar of the railroad.
This loosened the others, which in
turn were bruised and spoiled The
whole co ntents of the package thus be-
came bruised and worthless, but this
was only small part of the loss to the
shipper, for the purchasers would try
no more Bartlett pears from so careless
a source
These remarks on shipping apples
and pears by the quantity, do not APP
ply to packing small and select pears
in baskets and boxes for conveyance
by express, nor to choice specimens of
apples, each of which is wrapped in
tissue paper for special markets -

POULTRY YARD CHATTER.

BEGIN in good season to get the fowls
to roost in the house.
By care in feeding the eggs may be
increased in size and richness.
Two FEET is plenty high for the
roosts for the larger breeds Of fowls.
Push the fowls intended for fan mar
ket now SO as to have them ready early.
LATE-HArcHED pullets will rarely lay
until spring; the best plan is to market
them
OK an average the best results are
secured by keeping about fifty hens to-
gether.
BEFORE the fall rains set in, store
away supply of dry dirt to use in the
poultry houses.
Push the growth of the turkeys now.
With the run of the stubblefields they
should gain rapidly.
EVEN when feeding to fatten it is
not good plan to keep feed of any
kind before the fowls all the time
Feed only what they will eat up clean
at each meal.
GIVE the turkeys a good feed of
whole corn every night now just before
they are allowed TO go to roost. IL
will help to fatten them.
NEARLY all the medium sized birds
are more active and easier to raise than
those of a larger size, while the mar
ket prefers medium size.
GEESE if wen cared for will lay three
times a year and will lay about one
dozen eggs at each laying. They can
be picked regularly until cold weather
sets in.
IT is always best in fattening fowls
of any kind to comm ence and gradual
ly increase the ration until they are
given all that they will eat up clean Of
fattening grains.
ALLOWING the DIR oppings to remain
under the roosts to- long is one cause
of scaly legs. The safest plan is to
clean the poultry houses thoroughly
and regularly.--St Louis Republic
WHEN raised for market alone ducks
can be kept with profit in very small
yards. By Matching them early and
pushing the growth only short time
will be required to make them ready
for market
