the potato tuber is the direct result OF
the action of fungus, Fusarium So

tubers whether they are healthy or
not, but which attack the subterranean
stems, arresting their growth and in
ducing the development of the tubers.

Wages In Silk Mills.

Recent strikes in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania silk mills have directed
attention to the remuneration of the
body of employesAmostly girls and
young women-in that industry. There
is a wide range, probably included in
the middle ground between the two
tables printed below. The first, show
ing Paterson IN. j. wages, may be
taken as the highest 1t is:
Hard-silk winders $500 to 5 600
HARDSHIP doublers ...... 400 to $3.50
Hard-silk spinners 49,. 400 to 700
HARDSHIP reelers ....... 300 to sou
Broad-silk weavers $50. 500 to 1900
For years mill owners have been
tired of paying what they styled the
exorbitant wages Of Paterson, and they
have established mills in other places,
where there was less demand for en-
ployes of the sort they require. This
table shows current wages in Scran-
ton. Pa:
Hard-silk winders $500 to 1913
Hard-silk doublers ...... ZOO to 800
HARDSHIP spinners ...... 200 to $50
Hard-silk reelers ........ 1.5O to 3.0O
Broad-silk weavers ...... ATS to 600

Practical Remarks on n variety of
Timely Matters.

If pig Is put in pen in September
and fed well until the last of october,

Is mistake to yard the cows at night

Ing than during the day when the flies
are annoying her. The COW that lies

A snoopy, unruly animal is an abom-
ination on any farm and should not be

Oats should be fed to horses much
more than they are by farmers. They
are muscle forming food and give the
horse life and strength that corn does
not give. Horses crave variety. To
keep them in good condition they

MONEY OUT OF DROUGHT.
Irrigation as Good rs Gold Mine In
Dry Season.

Recently we passed through fifteen
acre potato field situated alongside
stream of water. The potato tops were
following and shriveling from the
want of water, and the tubers were
small and few in number. Yet enough
water flowed by that field in an hour
or so to wet the soil down TO the roots.
A few rods of iron pipe and a small
pump and gasoline engine would have
made that field produce at least 1000
bushels, whereas, trusting to the ele-
ments, it will not produce 200 bushels,
says the Ohio Farmer 1t is not every
farmer who can irrigate his crops, at
least to any great extent, but many
can do so at comparatively small eX-
pense, because they are fortunately
situated. The many will not or cannot
irrigate. The profit to the few who
can and do is all the greater. There are
few seasons in which irrigation cam
not be made profitable anywhere, and
there comes season every once in
awhile when the profit is large, as this
year, for instance.
Some successful irrigation plants
from wells are described by the jour
nal mentioned. Two brothers, who do
general gardening business, have
sunk wells, getting water at depth Of
twenty-five feet, and to pump the wa
ter out they use windmills, which
pump it into large tanks holding about
100 barrels of water each. The tank
I Is placed on stand or platform about
fifteen feet from the ground so as to
give pressure on the pipes laid around
through the garden. The pipes have
stopcocks at various points, so that a
hose or sprinkler can be applied and
the plants watered at any time. This
can be done by hand, or the sprinkler
can be set up so as to run itself and
can be moved from time to time wher-
ever needed. The farmer who had to
sit helpless and see his crop burned
up during the recent dry spell will
surely see the great advantage Of such
an irrigating plant. The windmills
cost 500 and the tanks and platforms
about $50 each. The cost of the pipe
is small. These men make celery their
main crop, and they find that their IT.
rigating plant enables them to raise
larger crops and. by forcing it to grow
at the proper time, to improve it In
flavor.
The Ohio Farmer urges the advan-
tage of this system in gardening and
small truck farming in any location:
Where land lies along stream of wa
ter that never fails irrigating may be
done on large scale, and where the
water supply comes from higher ground
and only needs piping or bitches the
opportunity should never be lost. Such
location is as good as a gold mine in
dry seasons when prices are high.

FARM AND GARDEN.
POINTS FOR THE TRUCKER,
A Reputation For Good Packing Is
nm Asset of big Value.


The kind of packages used in han
ding the different truck crops varies
greatly in the different trucking re-
gions, and the packages are now in
many cases very different from those
that were used in the early days of
the business.
After many trials the cheap gift
package made of thin veneer was de-
vised which in some of its forms is
now so universally used. In the east
it would be utterly impossible to han
die the present volume of business in
any but gift packages. For berries a
quart or sometimes Il pint box or bas-
ket is used, and these are packed in
crates for shipment.
In the west the popular package for
most tree fruits, tomatoes and many
other vegetables was for many years n
rectangular box holding one-third of a
bushel, with sawed ends or heads,
middle piece . by inches and veneer
sides % inches long. This package
finally became discredited through
the pernicious practice of placing the
best specimens at the cracks and fill
Ing the middle of the box with culls.
1t is now comparatively but little
used.
There has been no greater drawback
to the trucking industry than the va
rious forms of dishonest or false pack
ing, and it is indeed remarkable that
growers will still be so shortsighted
as to continue the practice when its
evil effects are so well understood.
In the east, particularly in the PENN
sula region, an open Stat basket hold
ing about five-eighths of q bushel has
long been a popular package for tree
fruits and many vegetables. 1t is n
cheap package and one in which the la
Dor of packing is reduced to a mini
mum. In many ways it Is very salts
factory, but for long shipments of the
more delicate products it would be
better if made broader and shallower
These open baskets require the cars
to be shelved. In Michigan some form
of fiat handled basket is largely used.
In the south a light six quart veneer
basket packed in four basket or six
basket crates is most used for toma-
toes, peaches, etc. Beans. peas, Gu
cumbers and many other vegetables
are packed in bushel crates.
In adopting package it is always
best to study the taste of the market
it is proposed to supply and TO con-
form TO the prevailing usage. Buyers
always prefer the package to which
they are accustomed, and in most cases
they will pay more for goods in what
is considered a standard package than
in one that is unusual.
Whatever the package, the greatest
care should always be used in selecting
and packing to make the goods as neat
and attractive as possible and at the
same time of uniform quality through
out the package.
Only good, sound. honestly packed
goods should be sent to market, and all
culls should be vigorously thrown out
and kept at home for stock feed. The
average prices realized for truck prod
ucts would thus be greatly improved
and one of the most annoying features
of the business would be eliminated
A reputation for good packing is an
asset of the greatest value to the truck
shipper.-F. s. Earle, Alabama Station.

HUSTllNG FOR BUSINESS.
More or Less of 1t Done In New York
Lawyers' Offices,

"Get a move on! That's the great
modern motto" said New York law
yer who has been practicing in the
local courts for the last % years.
"When | was admitted to the bar"
he went on, there was Il great idea of
the dignity of the profession. law
yer would about as soon have paraded
Broadway carrying a sandwich sign
calling attention to his legal ability as
he would have thought of hustllng in
any other way for business The thing
to do was to rent an office and sit in it
until somebody came and dug you out
of the dust and spider webs and asked
you to take case.
THE march of progress has changed
all that. Every law firm in this city
hustles for business. l don't mean
that the big men Of the firm chase
around after clients. OF course they
don't. But the firm does a lot Of
shrewd planning ahead. 1t schemes in
a particular fashion of its own to widen
it's sphere of usefulness-to itself.
"Of late years one Of the expedients
adopted has been the taking into the
firm Of young college graduates who
can give a reasonable guarantee that
they will bring business. College men
know of this custom, and many Of
them shape their life ct the university
accordingly. They are after friends.
They want to be popular. They want
to be able to Swing as much Of the
future legal business of their fellow
graduates as they can.
"a chap who can bring business of
that sort is taken in on good salary
/ even when he is the veriest tyro at
law. He's expected, of course, to do
what real work he can and to study
hard. But the salary is for the pull he
