efficiency of the two hands would never
rise to the skill of the dexterous mem
ber- If in grasping, picking, etc, there
be choice as to which hand to bring
into use. the movement will be slower

and invariably preferred. One-handed-
ness by making action reader in ad-
Justment has beneficial effect on the
rapidity of thought and on the whole
development of mental life Still, il
would be desirable TO improve the eff
cheney of the subordinate hand. In
many of the arts a high efficiency is
required of both hands: but this is a
long remove from absolute ambidex-
terity.
Should left-handers be taught right
handedness? Against the practice
rises the argument that the left-hander
when taught right-hand penmanship
develops a writing center remotely
separated from the speech center in the
opposite half of the brain. II so Sc
rious an affection as word blindness
can be caused by tumor or other
growth obstructing the path of commu-
nication between two centers located
in the brain cortex of the same hemis-
phere, the danger of obstruction is
much increased when the path to be
traVerSed connecting the two centerS
for speech and writing runs from the
external surface of one hemisphere
down through the commissural tracts
and outward to the cortex of the other
side
This is not final, for it may be said
that learning to be right-handed gives
an immense practical advantage in
better adaptation 10 the customs and
conveniences of our civilization, which
are adapted to the use of the right
handed. Buttons, tools. scissors. door
knobs, even corkscrews, will be found
to be constructed for the right-handed.
A left-hander meets with inconve-
nience and difficulty unless he adapts
himself to the use of his right hand in
writing and in many employments in
the arts.
Another consideration which may
appear trivial, but is. nevertheless. OF
great Importance, is that the left
handler finds himself out of harmony
with his social environment The
natural repulsion inspired by the sight
of what is strange and apparently
awkward and uncouth has handed
down from darker ages a superstitious
prejudice against the left-handed,
amounting to an unjustifiable, though
widespread, belief in his mental and
moral crookedness. The most serious
effect is a subjective one. The left
handler himself gets the feeling that he
is odd and abnormal in an unfavorable
sense and it reacts badly upon him.

Fruit Evaporating and Drying.

BZ RROF. r. L. SEArlo.
To the Editor of The Herald:
AS the fruit crop of Utah becomes
larger, which it is doing every year,
the disposition which shall be made of
it becomes more and more a matter of
importance. So long as the local de-
mand IS sufficient to take UP all the
fruit produced. prices will usually be
satisfactory. but as soon as there is
anv amount of competitions then it be-
comes important that fruit raisers shall
be able to hold back a part or all of
their crop for a time. The ability to
hold the crop, even for few days, may
make the difference between a profit
and a loss in the years work, and of
course the longer we are able to hold
the crop the better is our chance for a
profitable sale in the end. This matter
can be accomplished in a number of
ways: We may raise only fruits like
the apple, which can be kept for a
considerable length of time, and this
will allow us time to look about for a
favorable market or we may have some
form of cold storage established, so
that the fruit may be kept in a fresh
condition until the market improves;
and lastly, we may resort to drying or
evaporating the fruit, in which condi-
ton it can be kept Indefinitely. 1t will
be evident to all that the longer time
we have in which to dispose of a crop
the more likely we are to sell at a
profit, and for this reason the drying
of fruit is to be preferred to any other
method of holding it. We are then
practically independent of the fruit
buyer in the open market and can
sell at anv time when prices suit US.
Not only this. but the removal of
part of the crop from the market, by its
withdrawal for drying, renders it much
more probable that the remainder can
be disposed of at profit. So that the
benefit from our ability to hold the
crop is by no means confined to that
portion which is withheld.
And not only are we able to hold our
products for an Improvement in the
dried we are in a position to place
them upon distant markets, where
prices often range much higher than
at home. Especially is this important
in a state like our own, where the
capacity to produce is large and the
comparatively small, and
where all but local markets are at a
great distance. Yet even in those
states where the largest and best mar
kets are within easy reach the fruit
drier is found profitable. Probably no
state is more favorably situated SO
far as markets are concerned than is
New York and yet it probably leads all
others in the number of evaporating |

establishments found among it's farm
ers- In fact, almost every farm of any
size has some sort of a drying aDpa-
ratus- In the single county of Wayne
there are over 1000 fruit evaDorators.
Large commercial growers have i'm
mense plants with a capacity OF per-
haps hundreds of bushels of apples and
thousands of quarts of berries per
week. They fix upon certain price Tor
the croD, at which they will make a
reasonable profit. and if this can be
obtained they sell. If not their entire
product goes into the evaporation. OF
course there are times when there is
an over supply of dried fruit. but this
is much less likely to occur than with
fresh fruit. With the small farmer
the drying establishment may be a
little frame building which will dry
only few bushels of apples or a few
quarts of berries per day, but it acts
along the same line. if in less de-
gree.
Another way in which fruit drying
may be used to advantage is in saving
the odds and ends about "a fruit plant
alton. 1t is safe to say that on any
farm where fruit is raised in any guam
titles enough goes to waste every sea-
son to furnish the family with an album
dance of dried fruit the year round.
The saving of this will act in two ways
in benefiting the farmer, first by re-
ducing the amount of groceries he is
compelled TO buy, and second. by in
creasing the amount of farm products
which he can spare for sale.
In this connection a descriD-
ton of some particular styles
of evaDorating plants may be
of interest For small farms
where only a few bushels of apples or
a few quarts of fruits are dried during
the year, almost any man who is handy
with tools can put up a building that
will answer every purpose. A stone or
brick basement few feet square sur
mounted by a frame structure, per-
haps eight or ten feet high, is all that
is necessary. In the basement is a
brick oven or large stove to furnish
the necessary heat and above this, in
the frame part, the fruit is exposed in
trays until sufficiently dried.
Where = large amount of fruit is
to be dried some more elaborate build
ing is used. One of the most popular
forms is known as the tower drier. In
this form one or more large brick
stacks, resembling smoke stacks, are
built against the side of the building
TO be used which is usually three sto-
ries high. At the bottom of each stack
is a furnace. The fruit is dried in
these stacks, being pun in on the sec
ond floor, moved gradually upward
through the stack and taken out when
sufficiently dried, on the upper floor.
Here the fruit is allowed to dry still
more, or cure as it is called, in heaps
upon the floor Afterward it is put in
boxes or barrels and is then reads for
the market Other forms are in use,
but space will not permit further de-
scriptions.
With dried raspberries selling at 80
cents per pound and other fruits in pro-
portion, and with cur unrivalled facili-
ties for raising all the fruits most COM
monty dried, there can be little doubt
of the profit of drying fruit if ever
the business is understood anc estab-
lished in the fruit growing districts.

SHOULD CHILDREN BE TAUGHT
TO USE BOTH HANDS?

Teachers are confronted by the ques-
ton as to whether children should be
taught to use both hands equally well
in writing, drawing and other skilled
employments. Because idiots use both
hands equally well they are called am
bidextrouts; but it is really because
they use both hands equally i'll, equally
feebly and badly, below the level of
skill or specialization. 1t is better to
be one-handed than two-handed. One
handedness is a condition of the most
highly organized mechanical effort,
which is mediocre unless specialized.
Higher organization. division or labor,
differentiation of function, emphasize
the preferential use of one hand
in more difficult activity. Am
bidexterity would lower the skill

Fall Flowing and Rotation of Crops.

Fall blowing and the rotation of
crops are two points in farming that
every farmer should practice, says
Home and Farm. In addition to the
reasons which are on the surface for
this, there is a reason seldom thought
of and which is already a big item and
steadily becoming larger and larger in
our agricultural operations. 1t is the
item of insect depreciation.
1t is very well known that large
numbers of our very worst insect enc
mics go into the ground in the fall Of
the year and undergo changes and
pass the winter there Fall blowing
breaks up the arrangements they make
leaving no time for the making of new
arrangements, where the insects are
still more or less active, and by ex-
posure making for their death by
freezing or destruction by birds and
otherwise of all those that have be-
come dormant
We are of the opinion that our old
WORKOUT orchards, which are infested
with Goblin moths and other destruc-
tive insects. could be made productive
if they were well cultivated in the fan.
Spraying alone is not fully effective.
Probably equally effective with plow-
ing in this direction is intelligent re-
tation of crops. This is the idea under
lying clover-sick soil. The soil gets
gradually so charged with low forms
of life that feed on its roots that it
cannot carry a crop any more. 1t is
the same way in principle with insects
that feed on the tops in so far as the
feeding part is concerned. Rotation
breaks up the insect arrangements
thus arising, and the crop in its new
place and on ground new to il has time
to succeed for a season or more before
it is rediscovered by its old insect en-
envy and so overrun again.
And so the system of rotation that
includes the pastures also is the bess.
Many insects that do their worst on
TILED lands hibernate on pasture lands
There is only one way of changing this
and that is by a system of rotation
that includes every part of the farm
even the garden when at all practic-
able.
