One Way to Keep Apples.

The following way Of keeping apples

George Andrus read a paper on "A
Good Way to Keep Apples in a Com

fully in barrel or box, keep them
moist by pouring water on the cellar
floor and upon the apples themselves.
The fruit should be protected from
light and air. The sir draws the
moisture from the apples, and 30 will

keeping apples was one spring when

This method is certainly worth trying
In small way, but Is such an innoya-

reality serving well their countries. In

Of fowl raising nav indeed succeed

Of fowl raising may indeed succeed
better than the farmer, but he does
SO often against great odds. The poul-
try business fits In admirably with
the farm crops The fowls can be used
for cleaners, and the amount OF food
thus saved Is very large item and
the utilization OF 1t means much
money. The farm too gives range Tor

poultryman carnUl avail himself.
VI The stopping Of flying hens is the
subject of an editorial paragraph in an
exchange. The advice is given to clip
enc wing, and IL that does not prevent
flying over to run a single wire SIX
inches above the top Of the fence. That
is recommended as a sure preventive.
About that many things might be said.
\ The success or non success OF any
scheme depends good deal on circum-
stances. We have seen hens fly over
fence clearing 1t by a yard. Ia that
case what would be the use Of a wire
six inches above the top. Generally II
yards are large and the fence is made
of wire with no top rail. the birds Will
stay In, especially II their wings are
clipped. But we have seen hens that
would never think Of flying over q
four-foot wire fence when the run was
large do SO when the run was restrict
ed to a few feet In each direction. Of
course this applies to the light bodied
hens like the Leghorns.

Hints as to the Care of Live Stock

Evolution OF the sIlo.

Assistant Agrostologist Williams Of
the Agricultural Department writes:
AT first silos were either square or rec
tangular, but more or less difficulty
was experienced from the spelling of
the silage at the corners, and 1t was
also difficult to make the high wooden
silo strong enough to resist the lateral
pressure of the mass Of silage. This
led to the building of the circular silo,
which form is generally preferred at
the present time. There are no cor
ners in such silo, and a much strong
er structure can be made with less
building material than in the square
or rectangular type. Moreover, the ca
pacity of the round silo Is greater in
proportion to the wall space. It is the
present practice, when building q
square or rectangular silo, to board
up or otherwise cut of the corners,
thus lessening the danger Of loss OF
silage. Metal Innings for the inside OF
wooden silos have been tried, but with
poor success, usually proving less dur
able than wood. Recently steel siding
has been used in place Of wood for the
outer part of the wall Of the silo, and
it is said to compare fayorably with
lumber as to cost. u
The first silos built in the United
States were pit solos, +" and these are
still sometimes made, but, aside from
their cheapness. they have no advan-
tage Of consequence over those built
on top of the ground. A serious OBJ
lection to them lies in the difficulty IN
feeding the silage from them. On side
hill situations they can sometimes be
used adYantag eously. It is often pos
fsible to build the silo partly below and
partly above ground, materially less
ening the cost. but retaining the advan-
tages Of the above ground silo.
The desirability Of silage as a food
for farm animals during the winter,
and also In times Of drouth, has led
to many attempts to construct cheap
silos, especially in sections where
building materials are high One OF the
most satisfactory Of these cheap struc-
lures is known as the "staVe silo." It
is built much as a round tank, but is
without top or bottom other than the
soil, and is composed Of two-inch lum-
Der Of varying width held together by
hoops Of half-inch iron, with suitable
blocks for Tightening. When filed, a
temporary root may be placed on the
silo, or straw or grass may be spread
over the silage. B.

shipping Poultry.

There are a few general points In
regard to shipping live poultry that
are applicable to all markets: Skip
pers should see that the coops are In
good condition before using, SO that
they are not liable to come apart in
transit, as they are roughly handled
sometimes. The coops should also be
high enough to stand up in. Low
coops should not be used, as it is not
only cruel, but a great deal Of poultry
is lost every year by suffocation. Coops
should not be overcrowded. IN ship
ping hens and ROSTERS they should be
kept separate. Nothing depreciates the
value Of a fine crop OF hens as much
as to have a number Of old cocks
among them. Shippers often wonder.
why they do not get the highest mar
ket price for their stock; In most cases
this istthe reason. Good stock always
commands quick sale at best prices.
Poultry should ibe shipped so as to
arrive on the market from Tuesday to
Friday. Receipts generally increase
towardtthe end ofsthe week, and there
is enough carriedroyer stock on hand
Saturday to supply the demand. Mer-
chants, rather than carry stock over
Sunday, swill sellsat a sacrifice, as the
stock. when in coops, loses considera-
bic in weight and shrinkage, and does
not appear fresh and bright. Besides.
Monday is usually "a poor day to sell

In 1920 at our present increase, our
population will reach 10o,000,000 and
even to have 500 cattle per 1000 pop
ulation our cattle must increase 6,000,-

we must have In 1920 5s,500,000 head OF

When we begin to gain about 1,000,-

sition to simply maintain our ratio On

Meat Inspeotlon in Germany.

Henry w. Diederich, United States
consul at Bremen, makes the following
report: M
The new meat inspection law, which
was passed about a year ago by the
German government, which absolutely
prohibits the importation OF American
corned beef, sausages. etc, has had a
years trial. but has made no friends.
In recent convention Of physicians
DR.. Karl Frankel, professor Of hygiene
in the University of Halle, an authors
ty on all questions bearing on public
health, gave utterance to very severe
criticisms Of the new law. He even
went SO far as to say that the law was
nothing more than cloak faded and
worn, hung over the agrarian idol. He
asserted that he spoke in the interests
OF national hygiene, and showed that
while the government had declared that
the passage of the law was required in
the interest OF public health, nothing
suffered more from the passage OF said
law than did the public health OF The
nation, for the prevailing high prices OF
meat necessarily lessened its consump-
ton, while the health of the nation de-
manded an increase.
That the price OF meat has risen ma
terially in Germany since the passage
Of the law is known to everybody who
uses meat. I have before me 9 report
of one of the largest factories OF tex
tiles ia Silesia. This actory employs
from $500 to 1900 men. Like many
other industrial estab lishments 1t has
store of It's own, where the working
men may get all their groceries and
other food supplies at almost cost price.
Formerly the leading kind OF meat sup
Piled to the people was American
corned beef, and every family figured
on using about "a pound Of it q day, the
cost being IA cents per pound. Now
there IL no more American corned beef
IL BE had, and fresh meat Of home pro-
duction has taken its place. The man
ager OF the factory has investigated the
increase of expense to the people for
meat since the passage OF the new
law. and he has come to the conclusion
that every consumer at his factory
must pay 20 per cent more than he
formerly did, as every buyer Of fresh
meat must take q certain proportion
OF meat and fat and bone, thereby much
lessening the amount of solid meat. Ac-
cording to his estimate, 8 cents has
been added to each pound Of meat sold
at the factory. To men with scant earn
ings, an increase of over 81 cents in
their weekly household expenses for
meat alone is no small item. s
To utilize all kinds OF plant food
at ones disposal is an important item
