HANDLING POTATOES.
Sudicious Marketing Fully as Important
as the Raising.


The profit or loss in the cropdepends
fully as much on the way it is cared for
and marketed as upon its successful
production. AS rule it does not take
the same amount of care and ingenuity
to produce good crop as it does to
care for it and market it to the best
advantage and at the least cost.
A great many products are injured
by too much handling, and with the
crude methods used it can hardly be
avoided. What is needed is an improve
ment in methods. The usual methods
for handling potatoes, for instance,
practiced by majority of producers,
is to pick them up in baskets and empty
them into pits or into the wagon box,
when they have to be handled again
by hand or with fork or shovel, and
picking them up by hand or injure
them and start decay by bruising them
with shovel or fork. T. y. Terry. in his
"A b c of Potato Culture" tells us a
better way.
For several years l have been using
bushel boxes for marketing early pota-
toes while the skins slip, and for
handling the crop in the field all
through the season. This is one of the
WAYS in which the potato specialist
can get ahead of the small raiser. l
think we handle our crop for less than
half of what it used to cost us before
we got these boxes made. Our boxes
are 10 inches by IS and IL deep, all in
FrhnIr made a
little deeper, to allow for shrinkage.
The sides and bottoms are made of
three-eighths stuff and the ends of five
eighths. Hand holes are cut in the
ends.
The upper corners are bound with
galvanized hoop-iron to make them
strong. The price paid for them was
from S25 to $50 hundred at a box fac
tory Some light wood should be used,
of course, so as to make them as light
as possible. They need not weigh
more than six or seven pounds. Early
in the season, while the skins slip, our
potatoes are dug and laid mot THROWN
into these boxes, and the boxes are
covered as fast as filed. They are
then safe from sun and rain till want
| ed for market. The covers are simply
pieces of boards cut about 15xlS inches.
Dug one day and taken to market the
next and set off on the boxes at the
grocer's and then set by him into his
delivery wagon and taken to his Gus
| toners the consumer gets them just as
nice and fresh as though he raised
them himself. OF course, these boxes
! filled with potatoes should be carried
on spring wagon and covered by can
vas from sun and rain.

SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY. Z
Early American Coins Took Odd Shapes
A Notable Collection.

notable COiiectiOn'
The collection of coins. or more ex-
actly speaking. the articles which have
passed for money in different countries
and in different ages of the world, at
the national museum is complete one
and well repays one for d visit. The
earliest American coins are believed to
have been those made by Cortez, by
permission of the Spanish government,
and were issued about the time of the
death of Columbus. which occurred in
1906. They are of copper, and on the
one side is representation of the
pillars of Hercules Next in point
of time comes the money for Bermuda,
which was minted in England. These
coins are of copper, of the value of a
shilling and siXpence, and on one face
is the picture of a hog. hence it is
known as the hog money" The early
settlers of these islands found so many
of these animals roaming about that
they used it to mark the coin. Oily
one siXpence and two shilling pieces Of
both are owned in Boston. Among The
oddities of the collection is the
knife money" of the Chinese. USED
about the commencement of Tho
Christian era. The pieces arr
shaped something like a razor,
about six inches long, are of copper,
and worth about eight cents. ''RinG
money is another curious variety,
which was used by the early Gauls and
BritOns. In those days, as there were
no banks and safe deposit companies, ii
was the fashion to carry all ones
wealth upon ones person. The amount
was wrought into ornaments of various
designs, but of d fixed standard of
weight, and were frequently made in
two or three parts, which could be
readily separated and used as change
But coins of the different metals have
not been the only articles which have
been used as money. Salt nodded into
bricks of fixed size and weight is
used in countries where this necessity
of life is hard to obtain and far more
valuable to the people than any metal.
no matter how precious Tea. pressed

modify regulates the price of every

the Virginia colony. and the New En-
CHAMBERS were SO hard upfor something
to use in exchange that corn, Goldfish
and peas served as medium. Good

lutionary times, though in number of
the colonies copper had been coined.
The shells which are used as money by
the south sea islanders and in parts of
Africa form an important exhibit at
the museum. and the study of the

attacks of hawks, crows or rats, as they
are quick to give the alarm in a loud,
shrill cry, most unpleasant to the I'M
welcome intruder. The only objections
to be urged against these birds are their
noise and quarrelsome habits. In the
poultry yard they are spiteful |espe-
cially the cocks to young chicks, and
are, generally speaking, of very pug
nacious disposition.
The young can easily be trained to
run with hens, and when so reared
will not be so apt to quarrel with
them. When first Matched they are
quite wild. but when kindly treated
and often fed, they will become suffi-
GENTLY tame to eat from the hand, and
will not wander far from home. The
white variety are more tame than the
speckled.
1t is advisable to start keeping guinea
fowls by either purchasing eggs and
Matching them under domestic hens,
or procuring them when young, when
they are more likely to localize them
selves to their owners wish than if
purchased as older birds. If adult
birds be purchased they will require
boxing up for three weeks or a month
and feeding carefully to tame them,
otherwise they are liable to wander off
at their own sweet will, possibly never
to return.
But in spite of these disadvantages,
as semi-domesticated bird, it is very
profitable upon farm or anywhere
where it can have free range and
plenty of liberty, clearing the ground
of myriads of insect life, and being a
small feeder in comparison with ordi-
nary poultry.-N. Y. World.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE GUINEA FOWL.
Birds Which Deserve More Attention Than
They Now Receive,

They Now Receive.
There good many varieties of this
bird, all of which are supposed to have
originated in Africa. The two kinds
most generally known are the speckled,
or pearl, and the white, the former be-
ing the more common variety. They
are prolific layers during the summer
season; they mature early, and their
flesh is fine and tender. The meat of
the white Guinea is white, the skin be-
ing yellow; the speckled have dark
flesh; both have a gamey flavor
The birds mate in pairs. They usu-
ally commence to lay in May or June,
The eggs, though small, are rich in
flavor. The shell is very hard, and if
the eggs are set under hen, the nest
should be filed with dirt and set in a
cool, moist place. The period of incu-
baton is twenty-six days. When
young they are delicate, like turkeys,
and continue so until they change their
coat of soft down for one of feathers.
They should be fed and managed like
young turkeys, and, like them. will be
inclined to seek high roosts, but should
not be permitted to do so.
Guinea fowls are very useful as pro-
tectors of other young fowls from the

FEEDING BY MACHINERY.
Simple Combination of Alarm Clock
and Few Batteries.

Simple Combination of an Alarm Clock
and Few Batteries.
An electric horse feeder is a new in
ventlon brought out by Mr. Anderson,
of Chesterfield, for securing the regu-
lar feeding of horses during the alb
sence from any cause of the stableman
or groom. The apparatus is described
as being very simple, the law of gravi-
tation being depended upon to accom-
plish most of the work. The first
requisite is an alarm clock, which
should be good enough not to stop
casually, but need not be expensive.
The electrical plant is that needed for
an ordinary electric bell, four cells of
the Leclanche type of battery being
sufficient for any distance up to two
hundred yards. The third portion of
the apparatus is the feeder-that is to
say, the vessel holding the corn or corn
and chaff, as the case may be. The
clock, which is the prime mover of the
whole concern, may be in the house,
the harness-room or anywhere, but if
1t be more than two hundred yards
away from the feeder more powerful
battery will be required.
To use the feeder the first thing is
to set the alarm of the clock at the
hour at which it is desired that the
horse should be fed. The food is then
placed in Unlike biscuit box, which
is turned upside down and placed in
the proper compartment of the shoot,
when the lid of the box is drawn out,
the corn then resting upon the floor of
trap-like arrangement, held in it's
place by simple continuance. When
the alarm goes off a button is pressed
and the circuit is completed. A weight
falls, the bottom eff the feed box is re-
leased, and the corn falls out into the
manger -Invention.
