HARVESTING AND MARKETING GRAPES.

Picking, packing and marketing
should be done systematically care
less pickers or packers cannot be toll
Grated. In Western New York bushel
tray or box is used almost exclusively
for picking. This is too cumbersome
and requires both hands in moving it.
We use shallow half bushel box, or
basket, which is readily handled with
one hand. A good picker will gather
from 1900 to 1900 pounds per day
without dropping or crushing any,
and a good packer will pack 100 to
1875 baskets and get them full enough
SO they will open up smooth and level
on top with no stems in sight, but not
SO full as to crush the fruit in putting
on the cover. Pick grapes at least
twenty-four hours before they are
packed. Ifpicked and pa rkod at once,
they settle so the basket is only two
thirds full when it reaches the con-
sumer.
Plan the harvest work so that full
loads can be hauled to the depot each
day. If the roads are good, as they
should be, 400 or 500 baskets can be
as readily drawn as half that number.
Have the packing house cool and airy,
with room and conveniences for the
packers to work to the best advantage.
II you ship to commission house,
don't listen to every drummer that
comes along, but select two or three
reliable firms and give them your fruit
exclusively. The plan OF forming all
growers into II cooperative union has
not proved success here. A better
plan is for several growers who can
work harmoniously to load their own
cars and ship or sell in carlots. .-Ameri-

POISONING THE curwoRMs.

We notice in one of our agricul-
tural contemporaries statement to
the effect that ga prominent entomol-
ogist fortunately name not given)
proposes placing tablespoonful Of
sweetened bran mash containing poi
son by the side of each hill of corn"
for the purpose of poisoning cutworms.
We doubt very much if any promi-
nent or other entomologist has or could
be induced to recommend such an alb
surd thing, because all of the dozen or
more species of the cutworm feed en-
tirely on green and succulent plants,
and would be no more inclined to eat
bran mash than smoke cigarette. A
man who should set out such tempt
ing poisoned dish for wild birds and
domestic fowls might find himself
amenable to laws enacted for the ex-
press purpose Of preventing stupid and
vicious persons from placing poisons
in exposed positions on their grounds
or elsewhere. New York Sun.

OLD STONE WALLS.

When the country was new many
farmers put as much stone as they
could into walls for their fences.
These were deemed much more i'm
portant then than they are now. How
ever great the satisfaction when the
wall was built in thinking that it was
fence forever, the time has come in
many places where the stone wall is a
nuisance. It's material is all there,
but the work of relaying it and of
keeping it in repair is greater than the
interest on cost of most fences. Be-
sides, the stone wall is q harbor for
weeds, and it often is refuge for
skunks, weasels and other farm ver-
min. On most farms the best use of
the old stone walls is to build base
ments for barns or cellar walls, or in
the underdrains. Good drains can be
made from stone alone, or after laying
the tile layer of stone may be placed
above them, coming to within foot
or SO from the surface, SO the stone
will not likely be ever in the way OF
the plow. Boston Cultivator.

slau ghtering Horses for Food.

The slaughter OF horses for food has
began at Linnton, Oregon, in an abat-
toir especially constructed for the
purpose. The San Francisco Examin.
er says:
Tho operation is about the same as
killing d beef. Tho horses are driven
up the inclined roadway from the cor
rails and each is enclosed in n pen.
The executioner strikes them in the
head with asledgehammer. The doors
of the pen are lifted and the carcasses
are drawn out on the floor and expe-
ditiously dressed and hung up.
Trenches in the floor and chutes con.
vey the ofal out OF sight, and, in a
short time, number of carcasses are
suspended by the gambrels from iron
tracks above.
The pile of hoofs in one corner, O
pile of horsetails in another, and the
length and slimness of the legs on the
carcasses are all that would indicate
to an inexperienced person that any
thing unusual had been going on.
The flesh of the horse is darker than
that of good beef.
There are certain variations to the
customary method of converting live
horse into an edible one which de-
serve mention. Horses which have
been killed in the cars, or had "brok-
en- their necks running down On en-
bankment trying to get away" as one
butcher said, must not be allowed to
go to waste. So they are gotten out
of the way very expeditiously. The
legs were cut off at the knees, the
name and tail removed, slit made
the whole length of the skin and the
head and part of the neck Invested OF
the epidermis. Then rope was
made fast to the loosened skin and a
chain put around the neck and fas.
tened to the trunk of an apple tree.
A team Of horses was hitched to the
rope and the entire skin thus pulled
off. A few cuts and slashes and the
carcasses were in the steam tank being
converted into fertilizer.
This is, in brief, the way horses are
killed for eating in the first establish
ment of its kind in America. 1t is
not intended that any of tho meat
shall be offered for sale here; nor is
there any part of the establishment
devoted to canning. The company
will not can horses, al least at pres
ent. Only the hams will be picked
for export. The offal will be convert
ed into fertilizer and made into other
marketable products by methods in
use at all first.class abattoirs.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

ANN AMI uhhDIN NOIfo.
Hold fast to your mutton sheep.
Linseed meal is excellent food for
the colt.
Solitary confinement in q dark sta
BILE will make horse vicious.
Breed to suit your market, and not
according to your individual taste.
See that the collars fit the shoul-
ders and that the names fit the COL
lars.
Usually the swine pasture should
be larger than is the case on many
farms.
Paving is often caused by indiges-
tion, worms, constipation or disor-
dered kidneys.
You are feeding your hens too much.
They are too fat. That's why they
don't lay any more.
A good sheep is good friend to
the farmer. Do not abuse him even
though he is not on top just now.
A lean hen seldom wants to sit, while
fat one generally does. Moral !:
Don't feed your hens too much in warm
weather.
1t is an excellent plan to treat hy-
drangeas with liquid manure till the
blossoms appear. 1t should then be
discontinued, abundance OF water be-
ing given.
If the dry weather affects the lawn,
leave the grass little longer; its
shade will do something for the protec.
tion of the roots, that otherwise
might parch and dry.
A hog should be kept for every COW
on the average farm, provided there
are at least two acres in the farm for
each hog kept. Piggy needs room,
so do COWS, horses, sheep and poul-
try.
Que point in favor OF sheep is that
a moderate-sized flock can be kept on
very many farms with but little cost
sometimes with actual direct advan.

II your pasturage is short, feed

with some fall pasturage, barley, for
instance, or winter rye. Sow these

been taken oil and you will get well

PRESERVING EGGS.


There is no kno wn method by which
eggs can be kept to be equally good
rs fresh eggs, but there are many
ways of preserving them SO as to make
fair substitute for use in the kitchen.
The great object to be obtained is 20
prevent evaporation. Cutting off the
air from the contents of the shell pre-
serves them longer than any other
treatment. At present cold storage is
considered the best method of pre-.
serving eggs, but few have the neces-
sary facilities, and where the amount
is small one OF the following recipes
will be found acceptable:
Eggs may be preserved by packing
small end down in salt, sand or dry
bran, care being taken that they do
not touch each other. They must be
we'll covered with the packing mate.
rial and kept in cool place. If pre-
ferred, they may be wiped before
packing with vaseline, to which sali-
cyclic acid has been added, or given
coating of salt butter, or covered
with spirit varnish made by dissolv-
ing gum shellac in alcohol.
For preserving in lime pickle is
made in the following way: Take
twenty-four gallons OF water, twelve
pounds of unslaked lime and four
pounds of salt, or in that proportion,
according to the quantity of eggs to
be preserved. Stir several times daily
and then let stand until the liquor has
settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take five ounces each of baking soda,
cream of tartar, saltpetre and borax
and an ounce of alum. Pulverize and
mix these and dissolve in a gallon of
boiling water, and add to the mixture
about twenty gallons of pure lime.
water. This will about fill cider
barrel. Lower the eggs in carefully
in basket or colander, SO as not to
crack any of the shells, letting the
water always stand an inch above the
sggs, which can be done by placing a
barrel head little smaller upon them
and weighting it. The eggs should
iemain in the brine until ready for
ase. Ii it evaporates, more water
may be added, but the pickle should
never be used more than once. These
proportions will give brine enough to
preserve about $50 dozen eggs. New

The Oldest Man in the World.

The Frankfurter Journal has dis
covered, by sheer accident, the old
est man in tho world. A "Kommer-
zienrath, who dated his letter from
Heilbronn, observed at the end of the
epistle: 81 have been a subscriber to
your paper ever since its first appear
ance." The editor remarks in note
that "such an example of fidelity to
one and the same newspaper deserves
praise in SO changeable generation.
But what is still more remarkable is
the phenomenal longevity Of its eorre-
spondent. "The first number of our
Journal" observes the editor. "ap-
peared $50 years ago." Hence the
respected subscriber must be about
300 years old.
