Many farmers have a strong prejudice
against 'peddling' their produce, as
they call the house-to-house sale of it
This is an unfortunate prejudice, fol
selling directly to the consumer is one
of the most profitable methods of dis.
posing of farm crops. Nor need it be al

Have nothing but the best upon youi
cart; have regular routes and regular
customers, and they will watch fol
your coming and make your trading
agreeable. Selling at first hand means
a steady cash income, and prices much
higher than would be received from
dealers. Then, too, it often means the
sale of produce when the dealers are
overstocked, and not willing to pur.
chase at any price.
A valuable point to be borne in mind
by those who thus sell their farm wares
is not only TO have choice articles for
sale, but to carry them to the customers
in attractive shape. Let the wagon look

name of the farm painted In bright let.

to build up such a trade by using an old

bottom; such a plan doesn't attract pur
chasers.-N. Y. Tribune.

ceeds in discriminating locusts and
grasshoppers will receive a handsome
bonus. He believes that methods EN-.
ployed in Nebraska will be etficacious
in South America. During the plague
in Nebraska he developed some won
derful results. Farmers who desired
aid sent in some healthy insects pro-
vidcd with sufficient food to last tc
their journeys end. In return they
received sick" bugs in packages, with
directions for using. The professor
began by securing some dead insects,
killed by the fungus sporotrichum
globuliferum. They were placed in
cages with healthy grasshoppers, kept
in a high temperature, and the healthy
insects were o o inoculated. The dis
ease is a dry rot, which causes the
bodies of the locusts to decay. The
spread Is rapid. and result fatal. 1t
somewhat resemble leprosy in the
human family. The disease begins to
show from the second to the fourth day
after the infection has been placed in
the field. The bugs leave their food
plant and keep moving rapidly. The
next day they are sluggish and seek
protection from the sun. From the
sixth to the eighth day the first dead
bugs are found wrapped in a fungus re.
sembling cotton. The insects do not
have sense enough to seek a field not in
fected. but remain in the locality where
they are inoculated. 49, Chicago Inter

Grapes. like other fruits, need to be

frequently during the ripening season,

because grapes do not, like other fruits,
color after being gathered. The bunch

sors, and so handled as not to disturb
the blooms Ordinary varieties may be
at once packed from the vines into the
