CARING FOR FRUIT.


Some OF the Advantages Incident to the
Use Of IN EvsPerater.
With all products it is an item not to
allow any to go to waste. So far IS
possible, arrangements should be made
so that when q crop is ready to harvest
it can be saved in good season, and
with fruit this is fully as important as
with any other product To do this to
the best advantage it is always best to
make necessary arrangements in adj
vance, IS there is almost certain to be
waste, and whatever is wasted is that
much taken from the possible profits.
Whenever there is a full crop of fruit
there is always more or less that can
not be marketed to an advantage. In
nearly all cases what cannot be sold or
stored away for use later on, and in
this way be converted into q marketa-
BILE product.
One advantage in using the evaporation
is that the work can go on irrespective
of the weather, and there is much less
risk of loss than in drying, while. il
the work IS properly done the quality
of the product is much better and will
sell for better prices
In showery weather it is no little
work to get fruit properly dried in the
sun, but with an evaporation the work
can go right along and as the majority
of early fruit is perishable it is best to
manage as far as possible to take care
Of it as fast as it ripens- Nearly all
varieties of small, as we'll as tree fruits,
can be evaporated and used in the fam
lily during the winter or marketed to q
good advantage. Raspberries and
blackberries especially make an excel
lent fruit evaporated Cherries, plums,
pears. peaches, apricots and apples can
be evaporated to q good advantage.
and what is used in this way will help
lessen the quantity that must be sold.
The second grade of fruit can be used
for this purpose, insuring better price
for what is sold, and at the same time
lessening the waste. Evaporated fruits
sell at better price than the sun-dried,
and, as less work is required, can readi-
~ be made more proftable.-St. Louis

OF Interest to Potato Growers.

At the New Jersey experiment sta
ton, according to report made by
Prof. Voorhees, in the Rural New
Yorker, it was found that both man
ures and fertilizers increase the water
contents of thu, tubers; that the form of
potash used influences both the water
and starch contents-kainit giving the
most water and least starch. Next
came yard manure. muriate and finally
sulphate of potash. the last giving the
highest contents of starch, excepting
only the tubers raised without manure
of any kind AS to quality, the differ
ence in flavor was marked Those
raised with sulphate were decidedly
superior to all others; those from. yard
manure next, and from the muriatc
next, and finally those from the kainis
ranked lowest AS to yield. it appears
that mur:ate stood first, sulphate next.
kainit next and yard manure last.

pened to a young English sportsman,
Robert Ballantyne, now living in the
Pincher Creek country, Canada He
had gone to India, after leaving the
university, as the guest of young
nobleman, where they were to enjoy
together a couple of years of hunting
and adventure, before beginning their
life careers. Quite naturally they an
ticipated the possibility of a perilous
encounter with some striped lord of
the jungle.
But the de vouring jaws in which
young Ballantyne SO nearly met his
death few weeks after their arrival
in the hunting districts were even
more terrible than those of the royal
Bengal beast.
At least this is the young hunters
view of the matter-and as he made
flying trip over several rods of jungle
some months later in the jaws of a
''man-eater," his judgment as to which
experience was the most terrible should
count for much.
It was in the flush of the season for
waterfowl shooting, and as there was
a small marshy stream near them they
decided to go out in the early morn
ing and fill their bags with fowl
They were unprepared for that kind
of shooting, inasmuch as they could
find, on short notice, no trained dogs
to retrieve their birds. But they did
the next best thing and engaged ma
tives who were as entirely ignorant of
the English language as young Bal
lantyne was at that time of the native
tongue.
About the only native word whose
meaning he then understood was ''sa-
hib." Lord Nathby, however, had
picked up quite smattering of the
commoneSt native words.
The morning was tribe too clear for
excellent waterfowl shooting, SO the
hunters, to increase their chances for
success, separated, each taking an
equal number of the natives.
There was a long stretch of wet jun
gle or swamp, deepening in the center
to a shallow stream.
A line of tall, close bushes ranged
across this swail. from dry land to the
running stream, dividing it into two
SCCtlOhS VA tUout CaudI CAtCAG
Ballantyne held the lower of these
areas while Lord Nathby and his ma
tives pushed through the dense thicket-
Although each party was completely
hid from the sight of the other, each
could judge closely of the others posi-
ton by the frequent booming OF the
guns.
In this way Ballantyne knew that he
and his friend were working further
and further apart, towards opposite
ends of the swamp.
But he thought nothing of this, as his
natives gave him no trouble, but would
quickly run and retrieve bird as soon
as they saw it fall.
BY the time he reached the extreme
end of the marsh, the bags which the
natives carried were well filled with
fowl and the heat of the sun was be-
ginning to tell upon him. So he decid-
ed to hunt no more, but go directly to
the bushes and see if his friend was
not ready to return to the camp.
No sooner had he formed this resolu-
ton than provokingly frequent focks
of fowl went trailing overhead with de-
risive screams.
But he was q young man of unusual
decision, and it took considerable to
turn him from even trifiing or casual
determination. So it was not until a
bird, differing somewhat from the pre-

"a SENSIBLE MOVE"
(k?nSton Free Press.)

(kmSt0n Free PreSs.)
TAe Scotland Neck Alliance of
Hatifix county, passed resolution
recommending that a convention OF
the planters Of cotton growing states
be called to discuss and formulate
some plan by which the acreage can
be reduced, so as to increase the
price of that staple. The resolutions
state that tue enormous crop of 1890
redoCcd the IrIce from IL to 7 cents
pe7 rnunf, and expresses the opin.
ION that The ''only relief is the re.
Gactioo Of the acreage to he planted
in 1922"
This is u sensible move. and that
Alliance is right III recognizing that
it is the law Of supply ard demand
that regulates the price. No leeis-
larlon can be enacted that ill in
crease the price Of cotton, except to
repeal tie robbery tariff, which pre-.
vents foreigners from exchanging
their manufactures for our cotton.
Tie best thing to do first is to re-
dnce The acreage; next vote for the
party that will reduce the tariff.
The Free Press ventures the
prediction that the Alliance leaders
will take very little stock in a moves

the hands OF the Democratic party
whose bosses are, for the most part,
the people hemselves-,when this
test comes, We say, the white men
of the South will say give us the
Old-fashloned democracy.
This is the only safe course to
pursue, and the thinking people OF
the country in all trades and pro
