shipping Poultry.

Now that harv sst is over, the busy
farmer will turn his attention to the
fall work. says the Webfoot Planter.
In his rush of harvest work he has
neglected the shipping of his surplus
poultry and now will be very anxious
to dispose of many old melting hens
and all this seasons cockerels,
The price of market poultry can be
very much increased if, when cooped,
little pains is taken to grade or sort
them. There is always number of
culls that ordinarily do not bring
more than half the average market
price. All such should be shipped in
separate coop. This will be money
i'll the consigner's pocket. for COM
mission man or buyer always prefers
that each chicken in coop be near
the same size and condition and he can
then estimate more correctly their
market value. This will always make
the culls come low. But when he
estimates the value of the selected
chickens, if they are evenly good, he
knows they are all of the best and will
bring the top price in the market, and
the shippers always rewarded with the
highest market price. Now if this
shipment is cooped together as they
come, the consigner will always set the
price on the whole lot by the inferior
chickens in the COOP and the shipper is
the loser thereby.
1t always pays, too, to have we'll
made, light and attractive coop, and
never over-crowd the chickens. There
is also much to be gained by having
the chickens arrive in clearly condi.
ton, therefore always scatter over the
bottom of the coop. nearly half inch
in depth, road dust, or fine sawdust.
This will absorb all droppings and the
chickens will arrive at the markets as
clean as the day they were started.
When you find commission house
that deals with you fairly and honestly
stay with it you will always be the
gamer thereby,

unsatisfactory returns from fruit ship
ments.
To what extent has the large guam
tity of trash which has been thrown
upon the markets of the country, in.
tiuenced the prices of standard grades
of fruit? The California Fruit Grower
admits its own question. Many causes
have been at work helping to depress
the values of orchard products. Among
them may be mentioned the closeness
of the times during the past few years
with the consequent effort to econo-
mize; the financial stringency; the
phenomenal increase in the acreage set
out to fruit not only on the Pacific
Slope, but all over the United States,
and lastly, the enormous quantity of
trash in the markets. The last men

tant factor in the hsmmeriDg down

nor have the railroads and car line
companies done it. The fruit-grower

Fruit Growers Convention.

The executive committee of the State
Board of Horticulture has fixed the
date for holding the next State fruit
growers convention for November Il 9th
to 18th, inclusive. 1t will be held in
the Senate chamber of the State Cap
itol. 1t was also determined to hold
State convention of fruit growers at
Los Angeles in March next, the date
to be hereafter determined. This
latter convention will first meet at Los
Angeles for two days, then adjourn to
to meet at San Diego for one or more
days, then at Riverside and Redlands
one day each.
Among the important subjects that
will be considered at the State conven.
ton at Sacramento in November, will
be: transportation of all California
products to all markets; rates of
freights; abolition of rebates or other
means of giving one shipper an unfair
advantage over another; possibility of
shortening the time of delivery to
eastern points, and the probability of
eliminating the icing of cars and thus
in measure reduce cost of transporta-
ton; the best system of distributing
green and dried fruits to nearby
markets; the distribution of green
and dried fruits to eastern markets;
the best system of distribution to for
eign markets; should the production OF
deciduous and oitrns fruits be checked
until more perfect system of distribu.
ton is effected; adulterated foods
and the influence of their sale on the
productive industries of the State
olive industry.
At the last meeting of the Board o.
Horticulture committee was ap
pointed to investigate and report at tn,

ton, freight rates, etc. This commit

Green Manurlng.

Tere is growing inclination among
fruit growers in California to make ex-
periments with green manuring, says
Leonard Coates. For this purpose COW
peas are used more than anything else
where the plan has passed the expert
mental stage. They should be sown in
September or not later than October,
to get the benefit of the first rains. At
this time the growth would be very
rapid, the ground being warm. In
the spring, as late as it is safe to leave
it, the crop should be plowed under.
Cow peas are closely related to sweet
peas, and would grow all the winter
in most parts of California. Peas,
beans and other leguminous plants
absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere
and give it to the soil, besides, from
their rank growth, adding much
humus.
Florida growers, especially, have
for years practiced green manuring,
but it is being done now in many
other fruit sections. In Southern Cal
ifornia the orange growers report very
good results and the deciduous fruit
growers should bestir themselves, for
all admit that something must be
done, and commercial fertilizers at $50
per ton cannot be used to great ex-
tent at present prices for fruit. To get
the phosphates, or phosphorus in some
form is the problem. The cost of
freight on anything but in the most
condensed form is too great, so we
must at present content ourselves with
nitrogen and humus as produced by
sowing leguminous crops,

In California, where in localities

areas out of doors, is the following,
furnished by W, J. Dobbin of vaca-
vile:
400 gallons water.

as soon as the crop is off and finish be-

Black Currants,

R. J, Woodward, of Boston, Massa-
chusetts. on the subject of black cur.
rants says:
This fruit is very productive. and
seldom troubled with disease or insects,
but should be properly trimmed and
cared for. 1t is an abundant bearer.
Like other currants, it is easily
raised by sticking slips in the ground.
Slips only year old are far more pref.
cradle. 1t is very hardy shrub, and
also ornamental, and is worthy of a
place with other shrubs in the lawn.
1t flowers before leafing out, and are
very fragrant. After this follows the
clusters of rich, black fruit, so it is not
only ornamental, but useful also for
preserving. 1t needs good rich loan
to produce vigorous and productive
growth, 1t will also maks hand
some durable hedge. Stick the slips
in row, three feet apart. Where
you wish to grow a hedge give it
good trench of itch loan. Spade in a
little manure, and always keep it
clipped back the height you wish 1t to
grow. Also keep all the old, run-out
wood cut out, and let the new wood
take its place. By doing as above ad.
vised, the hedge will last a great many
years. and continue to be very orna.
mental, productive and profitable.
The Corean minister at Washington
has not been informed that the king
OF Corea has proclaimed himself EN-.

to the report, as it is thought to be a
step of which tho legation would be

has been made, is felt to be one of little
dignity, as it is said the substitution
OF emperor for king would not entail
any substantial changes in the country.
There has been battle between the
