How to Pack Applea.

Country shippers and packers Of APP
pies should make 1t a point to pack
their fruit honestly; that is. have the
fruit run alike all through the barrel,
says the Chicago Trade Bulletin. Do
not endeavor to cause deception by
placing good. sound, large fruit on the
top and bottom of the barrel, and fill
In the middle with a lot OF gnarly,
wormy and decayed fruit. 1t does not
pay. The deception is easily detected
upon investigation, and merchants do
not care to have fraud practiced upon
them, neither do they care to practice
1t upon their customers. Full regula-
ton sized barrels should be used. Take
the barrel, one head out, nail the hoops
and break off the ends of the halls at
the inside; place a layer or tier OF
apples. good and uniform size, smooth,
bright, healthy, as closely as possible,
stems downward, on the lower end,
then fill up a basket full at a time,
throwing out small, wormy, gnarly and
windfall apples, and shaking the barrel
well after each deposit until 1t is full
two inches above the rim; place the
head squarely on the apples; and with
screw or lever press, force 1t into
place and nail securely. Turn over the
barrel and mark name Of apple with
red or black lead, or stencil. Bear in
mind that, to be shipped safely. fruit
must be packed tight, to prevent rat
Ting or brulsing. In shipping apples
the first OF the season-early varieties
shippers should see that openings are
cut on the side Of the barrels and also
In both ends, to admit OF free circula-
tion Of air. which will greatly help to
bring apples through In good condition
during warm weather.

Loss OF Nitrogen.

Sir ]. B. Lawes OF England has
measured the amount OF nitrogen that
Is washed out Of soils by the fall rains.
says Hoard's Dairyman. In one rainy
season there were $50 pounds lost from
one acre In this way, during the month
OF September alone. During the hot
weather OF July and August nitrifica-
ton goes on rapidly In the soil. This
means that nitrogen is changed from
organic forms SO that II is soluble In
water Most summer crops stop grow
ing before frost. There being no living
plants TO utilize this soluble nitrogen.
the rains easily wash most OF It out
OF the soil. September and October are
two Of the worst months for LEAVING
the ground bare. When covered with
Crimson clover or winter grain, the
loss is much less, for these growing
plants will utilize most Of the nitrogen.
Never lot the ground remain bare dur
ing the fall and early winter.
Bi-sexual plants are those in whish
both SEXES are present a. part OF the
flower. a. In apples and cabbages
