Importance of Care in Sorting and Mar
keting Garden Crops.
1t costs no more to raise good fruits
and vegetables than it does poor. The
expenses of gathering, packing and
shipping and marketing are precisely
the same on the different grades. But
the returns are wonderfully different,
and, we take it, the farmer is in the
business for these very returns. Why
not then get the most out of them?
The only thing which makes the differ
ence between the good and the poor is
care, but this selfsame care must be
scrupulously exercised from beginning
to end. From the proper preparation
of the ground for the plants right
through to the shipping of the crop
every detail must be attended to; the
neglect of single one may render al
the others futile. 1t will not pay tc

A Word About straining Milk.

Straining should begin before COM
mencing to milk, by brushing off all
the dirt, hair, straw, etc, from the
udder, teats and body OF the cow. Let
it be the duty of some one person to
go over all the cows with soft brush
or damp cloth before the cows are
milked. An ordinary wire sieve
strainer does very well, but we add to
this by doubling cheesecloth or thin
cotton SO as to have it four thicknesses.
Lay the cloth across the bottom of the
strainer and then fasten it on by means
| of a tin ring which slips over the cloth
and bottom part Of the strainer. For

HERE'S A GOOD IDEA.
Get Farmers to Ride Wheels and the Road
Question Is Settled.

Get Farmers to Ride Wheels and the Road
Question Is Settled.
1t is typical American scene: The
harvest time that is now under full
headway in most of the states of the
union has its spare moments for the
thrifty farmer, though it is very busy
season. But even in these spare mo-
ments the agriculturist is busy with
his thoughts. The roadmaking is over
''for now" On one side of this primi-
tive highway great, rough ridges Of
sod and clay have been plowed out of
the bottom of the roadside ditch and
scraped up to make the road. The
farmers cattle often coming home that
way know better than to walk in
these heaps while the other side of the
road is smooth. So does the country
swain riding home from meeting or
countryside dance with his best girl.
So does everybody. How, then, are
those rough ways to be made plain?
But just wait. The farmer looks in
nocent enough; and to judge by his
roadmaking, you wouldn't think he
knew much. These teamsters and the
general public may think they can
travel these highways for nothing, and
that they have what city folks call a
| "cinch" on the downtrodden son of the
soil. AS soon as harvest time is over that
other side of the road will be heaped ur

A Continuance That Saves Considerable
Time as Well as Feed.
A trough fastened into a pen is not
desirable for feeding calves, as it can
not be as thoroughly scalded out as it
should be. Moreover, pouring milk
into any receptacle in pen in which
there is a calf is hazardous business,
the operation usually resulting In
spilled milk. An arrangement with a
feeding pail is shown in the illustra-
tion The back board is hinged to the
front of the pen on the side marked a.
The pail can thus be set into the
holder on the outside of the pen and
the holder swung quarter of the way
round and hooked, thus bringing the
pail inside the pen. When removed a
button keeps the calf from getting his

ALL ABOUT SNEEZlNG.
Caused by Irritation of tho Nerve Supply.
ing Sensation to the Face.

Caused by Irritation OF tho Nerve supply.
ing Sensation to the Face.
Sneezing is a reflex act caused by an
irritation of some portion of the large
nerve supplying sensation to the face.
Excessive sneezing may be the result
of some irritant, usually of vegetable
origin, coming in contact with tho
mucous membrane lining the nose, or
it may be associated with some general
disorder.
Whooping-cough and asthma are
often accompanied by violent fits OF
sneezing. Persons of a ''gouty" ten
dency are often afflicted with frequent
sneezing, and the same is true of per-
sons who possess a somewhat hysterical
or exceedingly nervous temperament.
A sneeze and cough, says the
Youths Companion, exert much the
same effect over different portions Of
the respiratory tract. In sneezing an
effort is made to get rid of some SUBJ
stance irritating the mucous membrane
of the nose; in coughing the same thing
is attempted for the throat.
Sneezing is in some instances pro-
duced by looking at a strong light or
vivid color. Inflammation may be in
creased, if not actually produced, by
excessive sneezing as we'll as by violent
coughing. In this way either Of these
acts may be harmful.
Sneezing is often Indicative of some
catarrhal" condition of the mucous
membrane, and if much indulged in, it
tends to make this condition worse by
congesting the mucous membrane OF
the nose and pharynx, and in severe
paroxysms that of the eyes and ears.
The inhalation of dust or of irritating
vapors tends to "stop up the head
chiefly because sheezing is thereby in
duced.
We often hear 1t said, when ONT

truth; for chilling of the body drive:

Some of the most severe colds, however
are accompanied by no sneezing.
It is not to be wondered at that tn,
practice of taking SNUFF is becoming
obsolete. It Is no more reasonable t,
employ measures to induce sneezin'
than it would be to inhale the fumes O
sulphur, or other irritating vapors, t.
induce a social cough.
Pressure upon the upper lip or abov

Strike on the Cape Electric Road.

There was little trouble on the Cape
Electric road yesterday. It seems that
the italian workmen decided they would
not walk from Willard to Rigby, morn
ings to go to work on the track for the
s1.25 and 81 35 daily wages. 1t is said
that one of the number decided to go to
work when he had agreed, with the
others, not to. Then several of the gang
beset the man. Chief Flynn of the Rigby
Park force, detailed officers to protect all
who wanted to work, and four were
arrested at Stafford block in this city on
a charge of assault. Mr.. Blakely saws
that the working crew We're short, but
that the track will be pushed on as rapid
ly as possible. Chief Flynn and his men
deserve great credit for the way in which
they handled the strikers, who were
bent on mischief.
