A NEAT BASKET FROM THE SOUTH.


 though some of the baskets look as though they had shrunk. The basket is very strongly built and is covered by slated cover we'll fast oned on. It is used by the southern shippers for string beans, peas, new potatoes, onions, squashes, as we'll as for apples and some other fruits and vegetables It presents an extremely neat appearance, is very convenient for handling and is well ventilated. It's use might we'll be ex- tended, especially by northern grow CTS, for fruits and vegetables. I have just seen some of this same style of baskets, the bottoms of which are square with the corners rounded off, thus making the baskets nearly square instead of round. The only advantage l can see for these is that they might be packed together more closely in car or boat, thus saving space. These baskets vary considerably in size, height and capacity, but are alike in general style.
 Fig. 3 shows one of the most popular packages in market for the shipment of fruits and vegetables It is simply light, open case made of thin stuff, but tolerably strong, and holding six small baskets little larger than the common five pound grape baskets. Occasionally some are seen holding eight tills or baskets and sometimes one holding four, but the popular size holds six in two tiers. The one shown is filled with to matoes, the end baskets showing them as they come wrapped in papers, the one in the center having the papers re- moved to show the fruit. A larger part of the southern tomatoes come in these carriers, as we'll as the peaches plums and grapes, and they are largely used for shipping northern grapes and for

Cover CrOps.

When the early garden crops, such as peas, early potatoes, corn, etc., are be- ing removed, if a late crop does not fol- low this year some catch crops should be used to cover the ground. Where it survives the winter SOW crimson clover, and it will save part of your fertilizer bill next year. Later than August 1 know nothing better than rye to SOW for cover crop. It may not furnish the soil as much as nitrogen when plowed under in the spring, but it is safer to SOW late ill the fall, as it is a more hardy plant than clover. Natures plan is to keep the soil covered, and unless we grow some useful plant to cover it she will cover it with weeds Ground that is covered during the win ter with clover or rye does not lose any of it's fertility, it's mechanical condition is improved by blowing them under and plant food is supplied ill the cheap est way.-Ohio Farmer.
