This question was troubling fruit
growers thirty years ago. At the win
ter meeting of the Western New York
society in 1867, a resolution was
Dassed-"That the present law reguIa-
ting the size of fruit barrels is reason
able and Just. and ought not to be re-
pealed; that the legal barrel will hold
as many pounds of wheat as the flour
barrel does of flour; that fruit keeps
better and Is handled easier than in
large-sized barrels and ought to be sat

One OF the many things proposed by
the Division of Forestry, United States
Department of Agriculture Is the i'm.
stltutlon of forestry demonstrations on
FARMS. Any farmer who has n suita-
bic wood lot which he desires to man
age on scientific plan can have the
help or the government forester The
FARMER furnishes the wood lot and the
forester furnishes the plans. There
are thousands OF acres In our eastern
States owned as farm wood lots. They
are mostly left entirely to themselves
An Intelligent management applied 10
them would surely prove a good thing.

Sheep, cattle and goats have been in.
troduced into the Philippines from
Spain, but they are not numerous. Do
nestle pigs and chickens are seen
around everywhere in the farming dis
tricts. The principal beast of burden
Is the caraboa, or water buffalo, which
is used for plowing rice fields as well
as drawing heavy loads on sledges or
on carts. Large horses are almost un-
known. but there are great numbers

How to Get RIA Of plan,atnin Lawns.

A correspondent desires to know the
best method of eXterminating plantain
from her lawn of about an acre. This
troublesome weed is liable to appear in
great numbers on new lawns and can
only be kept i'll check by frequent
moving and the stimulation OF the
grass by the use of fertilizers-prefcra-
bly, those prepared for commerce.. If
barnyard manure is used, many weeds
seeds will be introduced among the
grass roots 1t should be used there
fore, only in the liquid form. On small
lawns the plantain may be removed
with n sharp "spud." by which it is
easily cut off below the surface of the
ground. During the season in which
there are frequent showers, grass will
not be injured by cutting every two
weeks, and this will suffice to kill out
most weeds i'll the course of couple
of months.
The same lady inquiries about the
formation of a bed of cannas. All
that the latter require is rich. deep soil
and liberal watering during dry wealth
er.
The garden or lawn soil should be
dug out to a depth of II or If inches
and replaced with rich compost. In
this plant the roots about two feet
apart, placing the tall, or standard.
varieties, which grow to n height of &
to feet. in the center and the dwarf
sorts toward the outer edge of tho
bed. The COzy cannas are extremely
varied and fine and seldom attain n
height of more than three feet. 1t is
scarcely worth while to attempt to
grow cannas from seed, as the roots
can he obtained from all seedsmen at
from 81 TO S1.50 per dozen, except the
latest novelties and with good care
they multiply with exceeding rapility,
so that few plants one year will pro-
uuce more than one would care to set
out the succeeding spring.

Fog In Photography.

One serious and at the same time un-
suspected source Of fog in photography
is often due to the fact that the black
ing has slightly worn off the lens
mount and there is a reflection which
results in a loss of brilliancy in the
negative. Constant use and endless
cleaning Of the lens in time wear the
blacking off, and this should be attend
ed to and all metal parts kept we'll
BACKED. Where lenses are mounted in
aluminium still more care is necessary
in this respect, as, wherever in such
cases the blacking wears off, white light
instead Of yellow light is reflected into
the lens. E.s
Sometimes diaphragms Of the iris
pattern are greatly at fault in this re.
speot. By reason Of its construction the
leaves or vanes in this diaphragm are in
constant friction while being set, and
thus become polished and reflective, for
which reason some photographers avoid
having iris diaphragms in their lenses,
Notwithstanding their oonvenienoe. A
careful examination Of the apparatus
will insure safety in this matter. Stops
of the ordinary pattern become in time
little better than bare metal, especially
at the edges of the aperture.

Public Receptions and Welcomes Too
Much of a Tax.
+ WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. - Admiral
Dewey, on the advice of his physician,
has cancelled the dates for his visits to
Philadelphia and to Atlanta and will
accept no more invitations Of this sort
before next spring. The following
statement on the suject was made at
his Office here: 81.
''Acting Oh the advice of his physi-
clans, Admiral Dewey finds that it will
be necessary to cancel the engagements
he has entered into to visit certain cities
and to decline all invitations for the
present. He finds that the mental
strain incident to such visits is Sc
riously affecting his health. "9~@ '..,--
It was said by one of Admiral Dewey's
friends that this is not to be taken as
an indication of any alarming change
in the admiral's health, but that to a
man of his temperament the excitement
and mental strain incident to the va
rious public functions in which he has
been participant, have proved un-
usually trying. He will remain as
quiet as possible for the balance of the
winter, and it is hoped by next spring
that he will be able to take a short trip
south and visit some of the places
whose inhabitants have been so anxious
to welcome him.

on The Tribune, and one day certain
city editor (best known to fame as the
man who always wore straw hat and
smoked corncob pipe) decided that
Mr.. Finerty should be disciplined
1t was Saturday, and some time after
midnight. Mr.. Finerty was assigned tc
report the morning sermon Of an oh
scure minister way down on the South
Side. Finerty was the senior, and his
associates were thunderstruck. They
expected an explosion. at least, but
Flnerty remained calm and dignifed,
although trife pale. ''Then he will
resign, > they thought, but Finerty
walked out and made no sign. To the
surprise of every one, he reported the
next day as usual and turned in an alb.
stract of the sermon. Every one read il
on Monday morning, and it was GER
tainly an eloquent and carefully report,
ed sermon. " "
That afternoon a man of clerical cut
called on the city editor and asked tc
see the young man who had reported
his sermon the morning before Mr..
Finerty was introduced The man Of
the clerical cut would like to see Mr..
Finerty alone for few moments. Out
in the hallway he asked, "Of course,
you were not at my church yesterday
morning7'' .....s
''No, - replied Finerty. ~
"Well, I simply stopped to thank you
for the sermon. It was far more elo.
