A new story Of the late John p.

that the little daughter had been named
after him. This was stickler for the
uncle, and he wrote for particulars. A
day or two afterward he received a re-.

is really no mistake. We named our lit.
tie daughter 'Spaulding'-after you. I"

THE CANNED GOODS SITUATION.
The Tendency Is TO Restrict the Pack, blu
Keep Up the Quality.

The Tendency IL 60 Restrict the Pack, but
Keep Up the Quality.
The tendency everywhere is undoubt-
eddy to restrict the pack; this in order
to get relief from the burdensome stocks
which have depressed the market the
past two years and that the business
may be placed on a more satisfactory
basis. Inquiry On the part Of American
Agriculturist among the various canning
associations reveals this, together with
the fact that there is a universal opinion
among packers that the business is
greatly overdone. The authority already
quoted makes this report
Contracts are now being made with
growers for fruits and vegetables, and
the tendency is toward lower rates than
prevailed last season.
There is no uniform reduction. many
engaging their crops at former figures,
while others are obliged to accede to a
reduction. Old established concerns. in
order to keep their machinery in opera
ton, must pack about the same quantity
as last year, yet others will reduce the
output. 1t now looks as though the At
lantic Packers association will put up
less than the average, and this is true
of many concerns identified with the
Peninsula Canned Goods association.
Farther west the same disposition is
manifested, although Ohio will proba-
bly, pack about the same quantity of
standard goods. Factories disseminating
will be made up by others just start
inc T., fho for,itn,r yf tho nk,a D,,1r
ers' association there was no carry over
stock up to three years ago, but since
that date the surplus has been burden
some, as also i'll other parts Of the coun-
try. Canneries located in the Mississippi
pi and Missouri valleys, banded III the
Western Packers Canned Goods a~ssOcia-
ton, are inclined to reduce their output
for 1896. Across the line the pack will
certainly not be increased, members of
the Canadian Packers association show
ing a conservative feeling regarding the
future. Stocks carried over are smaller
han last year, i'll the Atlantic states
less than usual and III the middle and
western states much the same as a year
ago.
The opinion is almost universal that
not alone must the pack be reduced, but
the quality must be kept up the COM
ing season, in order to insure satisfac-
tory returns. The situation Illus outlin-
ed as viewed by all the leading associa-
lions of canned goods packers is not en-
couraging to those who indiscriminately
go into the business as a new venture.
The canning business is a legitimate i'll
dustry and may be made profitable I'M
der favorable surroundings, but il
should be approached most carefully by
those contemplating the establishment
Of additional factories.

1t is generally considered that the
richest of all lima beans are those Of
the potato lima type, like Dreer's I'M
proved and Challenge. This type Of
beans makes Il smaller and less snowy
pod than many of the large white lima
type, but the pods are usually closer
packed with turgid seeds. For the per
son who buys beans i'll the pod, these
are the more economical, while the one
who sells beans i'll the pod would secure
a larger bulk by growing some Of the
very large podded, flat lima type, like
Kaighn, Jersey, May Champion and the
like.
For ripe beans, the large white fiat
limas usually sell best, but there a.
many persons who prefer a green lima.
The red and speckled limas are as good

but most persons do not like this dark
color. In the test last year at the Cor

American Cultivator says THE leg
islature seems disposed to try unwise
economy i'll dealing with the gypsy
moth. The commission last year aske
5000, 600 and received only $50, 600
and hat Sc late that half of its effective
ness was lost. This year the commissio"
again asks $500, 900, and one branch 8
the Legislature has cut this tenant IN
two, and the other reports for agitlr
dividing it. One of W. things SHOULD
be done either let the gypsy mot
alone or appropriate as large Il sun eacl
year as can be profitably used in exter
minating the enemy. An appropriation
of 5000, 900 this year will, i'll the view
of the commission, make lighter appro-
priations necessary next year, and in
two OF three years at most the dreaded
enemy can be exterminated. This is GER
tainly worth trying.
