Honesty In Packing Fruits.

There is a great temptation to
which, we are not pleased to state,
many yield, to pack fruit in boxes
or other receptacles under size.
This is particularly true with ref
erence to strawberries. In Chicago
the official sealer, whose business
it is to keep tab of the size of box
es and crates used by fruit dealers,
has been advised that many ven
ders of strawberries are selling the
fruit in boxes supposed to contain
quart, whereas they actually
contain less than pint. AS the
blackberry and raspberry season
is near at hand, it is probable that
dishonest boxes will be used for
these fruits. The blame is placed
on the grower, who has the boxes
made to order before shipping the
fruit.
The trick is not confined to the
growers O. small fruits near cities
and towns; we find commercial
apple growers practicing it occa-
sionally. 1t is not the way to win
fame or fortune, for sooner or later
one will get his reputation for ras-
cality established, and his goods
will go begging, Underwriting hon
esty in packing all kinds Of fruits
is one of the chief essentials in
the fruit business.
There is no reason in morals
why the farmer or fruit grower
should be expected to have a more
sensitive conscience than his fell
lows of the cities. But there should
be something in the free, pure
country air, the communion with
nature in her most beauteouS forms
the hours for silent meditation
away from the ''madding crowd"
and all these the rural life affords
which ought to, and we believe

FOR THE FARMER,
Setting Hens In the Moon.

Is there any difference whether
hens are set in the light or dark of
the moon? A neighbor says that
eggs set in the light of the moon
will hatch most all cockerels, while
eggs set in the dark of the moon
will hatch mostly all pullets, Says
he has tried it many times, and
knows it to be SO. What is your
opiniOn?' These inquiries were
sent by reader of the Tar Heel
Pouityymau to that journal, which
replies: We know of many peo-
pie who plant all their vegetables
and grain "in the moon" and do
all their farming according to the
changes of the moon. In the light
of the moon they plant other
things and do other work. They
kill hogs, cut timber, mate stock,
etc, according to the signs of the
moon" One good old lady we
know used to make her yeast in
the light of the moon, and would
never make it any other time 1t
is strange what hold these old
superstitions have on. many peo-
Pile The moon has nothing what
ever TO do with setting hens 0r
planting vegetables or grain We
have experimental with vege-
tables in this connection, and know
there is nothing at all in planting
Sin the moon" 1t is the veriest
nonsense, and has been SO proved
by intelligent farmers. The idea
that the sex of chickens in egg,
under the hen is influenced in any
way by the phases of the moon !,
simply ridiculous, as well as i'm
possible The best time to set hen,
is when Won have the eggs and the
willing hens to put them under
without any reference whatever

SunfiOwerS.

The value OF the sunflower is
not generally recognized by our
farmers. 1t is easy to raise and
the seed affords an excellent food
for all kinds of poultry. The sun
flower requires a reasonably rich
soil in order to produce good
crop. 1t may be planted at any
time in the Spring and up to the
middle of June. Sunhowers do
not require any cultivation after
the plants get S or 6 inches high,
as they will outgrow the weeds
and will keep the weeds down if
planted pretty thick. Last year
when l worked my potatoes
planted sunf1owers between the
hills, dropping two or three seeds
in a place. By the time the po-
tatoes were ripe the sunflowers
were just getting start, so that
neither crop injured the other. |
had good crops of potatoes and of
sunhowers on the same ground.
When they are ripe nearly all OF
the seed may be saved by cutting
off the heads and giving them a
sudden jar in a barrel. The chick
ems will save what few seeds are
left in the head, if they are thrown
where they can get at them.

farmers begin to lift their Winter

good, but the quantity is not there

Russla's r,ove for Peace.

Washington, August 3O.-Ths DELHI
erations Of the president and his
Official advisers for the last two days
have been devoted almost wholly to a
communication from the Russian gov
eminent, in which IL Is reported
Russia assumes that the relief Of the
legations at Peking having been ac-
complished the task Of the allied
forces is completed. From guarded
remarks In cabinet circles II is gath
cred that Russia has suggested the
withdrawal OF the allied troops from
Peking TO the coast, that the Chinese
government may return 10 its capital
and open diplomatic negotiations
with the world freed from visible
signs Of armed duress.
Russia's move would seem to be Ia
keeping with the recent declaration
Of the representative Of that govern
ment 10 Washington, Mr.. WOllant,
who has professed an entire agree
ment In the peaceful policy OF the
United States. He insists that Rus.
STA wishes TO prevent the dismember-
ment Of China, and will take every

and the safeguarding OF foreign In
terests there In future. Russia, he
says, Is willing 10 deal with Ii Hung
