MARKETING VEGETABLES AND FRUIT

MARKETING VEGETABLE AND FRUIT
Clarence Norton in Kansas Farmer;
Eastern farmers have practiced di-
versified farming for some time and
we first learn of valuable implements
from them. From them got the idea
of using crates to handle vegetables
in, and sent for 100 of them, costing
me $3.50 laid down here in the flat.
1t is of these l wish to speak. There
are many styles of crates, all of which
are good for the intended purpose, but
mine are the all-slatted bushel crates
made of Eastwood slate, making box
twelve and one-half inches deep, thir-
teen and one-half inches wide and
sixteen inches long, and when hand
led empty one can be ser on one end
in another and third inverted over
it, thus occupying only two-thirds of
the space of loaded ones, and thus in
bundles of three they are much easier
handled than singly. In handling
light early vegetables, homemade
crate of board ends and lath sides and
bottom is the cheapest, but for toma-
toes, potatoes apples the one above
referred to is much the best.
1t is constant fight for supremacy
among growers of vegetables, and the
one who can market his produce in
the incest shape with the least trou-
BILE to store-keeper and self is the one
who will succeed. The first qualifi-
cation in the vegetable man is asso-
lutte honesty, which must never be
devisted from, no matter what the
cost. Then, with the improved man.
ner of manuring and plowing, with
the best of seeds of the best varieties,
followed by the very best manner of
marketing the goods, most any one
can raise vegetables; but to success
fully market them requires talent
that must be deeply studied in these
days of close competition.
About the first crop to be marketed
is radishes These are pulled, wash
ed selected, six put in a bunch, and
tied with twine, packed in a crate
and crate and all left at the store
with the correct number of punches,
date, price on a tag on each crate,
also growers name, which in all cases
should be guaranty and a help to
the store keeper in selling the goods.
Such reputation is only secured by
8 cluse study of all the details and
thoroughly lived up to, and is worth
large sum to any producer. Three
times a week fresh ones are taken to
town and left Ia the crate at the store
the ful amount being credited, and
all the old ones taken back credited,
so the tore-keeperis is at no loss at all,
and by fully guaranteeing everything

The Brunswick" is the name of a new resort opened to the public last night. The saloon is situated next door to Vantilburg & Davison's jewelry store on Washington street. A large crowd attended the opening and many bottles were opened and kegs of beer drained. In appearance the resort is second to none in Phoenix The bar, rear bar, tables, etc.. are of oak and of unique design. The exterior is de- cidedly attractive. The proprietor is one of the best known caterers in Phoenix and through his popularity his resort will soon become one of the most frequented places in Phoenix.

 It says in part: Under the increased 7 appropriations of the present fiscal
 ar the work of placing our harbors III proper shape of defense is making good progress and if the same sums are appropriated annually for few years our principal forts will present for midable front to an attacking fleet. It is hoped even more liberal apprOpria- tions will be made in order that we may be ready for any emergency that may arise. In view of the present seri- ous aspect in Europe in politics it is only common prudence for this Ma tion to be on it's guard, for should a conflict arrive we are liable to be en- broiled with some power whose navy, in the present defenseless condition of our coasts, might destroy or exact enormous ransoms rom our chief cit ies.
 In conclusion the report says: An effective preparation for tar is the best safeguard against war.

LIFE IN A LARGE CITY.
Strange Experience of Jacob IIirsch,
 Elevator Expert

Jacob Hirsch, an elevator expert who was sent out by the Eaton & France Elevator company of Chicago to ar range for putting in the elevators in the new Adams hotel, has had one of those distressing experiences that are sometimes attributed to climatic change.
 Hirsch arrived in the gay Paris of Arizona last Wednesday and instead of reporting to Mr. Adams, he became absorbed in the attractions and glamor of great city, and for whole week has been renewing his youth at the fountain of Gambrinus. MT. Hirsch, the elevator expert, has at times felt elevated far beyond the skypiece of the Adams hotel.
 Meanwhile his failure to appear be- fore MT. Adams has kept the telegraph wires warm between Chicago and Phoenix. The firm at Chicago could offer no explanation of his unaccount- able disappearance, so MT Adams could only bide his time and await de velopments.
 Yesterday a sad-eyed, forlorn-look ing man was found inna local saloon He was holding an animated converse tion with an oil painting in decOllet'
 drapings, and was blissfully obliviou1 of elevators, or anything so prosaic l He was identified as Mr Hirsch ant
