ing according to size is distinct adj
vantage, because it frequently hap
pens that one consumer desires a
small size while another prefers a
larger grade. The work OF grading
and packing can he done best on a
properly constructed grading table
in the packing house or in a shaded
corner of the field. The packing
house is the best place, however.
In western New York there are
three types of packages 12-pound
baskets, bushel baskets and crates.
The 1c-pound basket usually holds
16 melons, the bushel basket and the
crate hold from 80 to As melons
each. A favorite size of the crate
is 9 by II by % inches. Baskets
are neat and easily handled, but are
not suitable for shipping fruit to
distant markets. For long-distance
shipment the crate is undoubtedly
the best package, economy of space
and ease of handling considered. In
western New York most of the prod
uct is shipped by canal boat. Net
ted Gem packs nicely in 12-pound bas-
kets, while the larger varieties, like
Surprise, are more conveniently hand
led in bushel baskets. 1t is doubt
full, however, if growers could af-
ford to use this package if shipped
by railway.-J. Craig, New York Sta

TIE Usage ORANGE.
1t Furnishes Excellent Timber for
Posts, Railroad Ties and Pur-
poses of Like Nature.

Usage orange is undoubtedly the
very lest timber for posts, wagon
timber, railroad ties and for all pur-
poses where the timber is exposed
to the weather.
The sap of this remarkable timber
is an city caoutchouc, which renders
the wood impervious to liquids and
gases and not readily affected by ex-
posture to air, acids and alkalies.
Usage orange grows rapidly in tho

first year from seed and could not
use the plants, they being too large
to sell. In three years they make
fine everlasting fence posts. In eight
or ten years they make railroad ties.
When one post gets large enough,
cut it off and another tree will
sprout from the stump and make a
straight sprout of 20 to q feet high
so you have an everlasting patch
of trees and everlasting wood in the

Don't plant your patch on poor

you do.

THE FARMERS CLOTHES.
They Should Be Neat and Well Flt-
ting and Worn with the Man.
ners of q Gentleman,

In this day of agricultural colleges
and agricultural journalism, ready ac-
cess to high-class literature, tele-
phones, free delivery of mail and elec-
trio railways, when the farmer is no
longer isolated and uneducated, but a
man learned in the sciences, in art and
literature, and embracing in his voca-
ton the best that is in botany, chem
istry, geology and natural philosophy,
the contempt sometimes shown tho
countryman certainly proves that
there is something out of joint.
The cause of this attitude must lie
in the oddness of wearing apparel or
general carelessness or utter disre-
gard of personal appearance displayed
by many farmer when he visits the
metropolitan center. 1t is not expen-
sive clothing that marks we'll
dressed man, be he from country or
city, but care, neatness and cleanliness
and avoiding of oddly in personal APP
pearance. There are no successful
farmers who cannot afford to wear
as good clothes as nine-tenths of the
city men.
The average farmer cannot follow
all the latest styles, but he need not be
aslouchy, gawking specimen of human
lty, bringing down contempt not only
on himself but on farmers as a class.
1t is hard for a farmer TO appear any,
thing but farmer do the best he can,
but this fact need not worry him any
IT he will only strive to bring his call
ing to the point where it will be recog-
nized as it is. When he is at work on
his farm, when he goes to the home
village or town market, and when he
hauls his produce along the highway,
| no matter how he is dressed, the farm
er is not looked upon with disfavor by
any well-bred persons; he is then mere
ly at work and is respected by those
| with whom he comes in contact the
same as any other good, honest work
| ingman is; but when he lays aside his
city on business or pleasure it is un-
doubtedly a duty he owes to his voca-
ton and to his fellow men to present
as good an appearance as his means
will admit. If he is to be respected by
those who have no other means of
estimating him, meeting him but cas-
ually as they do, than by his pers onal
appearance and manner, he must pay
some attention to attire, cleanliness
and manners. He must not neglect
those little courtesies that mark prop
er consideration Of others, and that
belong to the well-bred man. He must
not be odd, nor rude. nor uncouth.
Good clothes and good manners will
obliterate self-consciousness which
makes ore awkward and i'll at ease in
the presence of others, and will de-
velop that proper amount of self
esteem which makes man scorn to be
odd or untidy or uncouth, and which
will enable him to easily adapt him.
self with quiet imperturbed demeanor
to his surroundings, however polishe ed
and cultured. 1t is easier to say this
than to do it, but like all character
development it must be worked fol
with the hardest of effort and most
constant practice.-J. G. Allshouse, in

THE COOK HE WANTED.
Fails to Settle q VexatiOus
Household Problem.

When an inexperienced man under
takes to settle off hand the problems
of housekeeping, he is likely to meet
with difficulties. 1t is related in Will

determined to show his wife how very
easy it is to get good servants if one
goes about it properly.
So one morning he cut a number of
addresses from the "situations want

paper and started out in a cab to find
the ideal cook.
The first place mentioned in his lit

remarks intended to convey an idea

1t Pays to Keep Account.

Hoard's Dairyman has found that
there are herds of dairy cows, owned
by patrons of Wisconsin cream cries,
that with good care produce from
$3.50 to $2.13 worth of milk for every
dollars worth of feed consumed.
Other herds produce less than this:
in few cases 81 worth of feed pro-
ducing only 90 cents worth Of milk.
Either the care or the cow was not
what it ought to be in these latter
cases. We have an idea that the cow
has much to do with it. Do you know

An Important
Remnant Day.

Our business policy demands
the absolute and immediate clear.
ance of all remnants in order to
keep the stock fresh, bright, and
up to date; it also forbids the Of
fering of this class of merchan-
disc in connection with perfect
goods. Hence one day friday OF
each week is given over to the
selling of remnants-fragments,
odds and ends, short lengths,
broken lines, incomplete assort-
nents, imperfect goods and any.
thing that may be termed rem
nant.
This weeks remnant day sale is
especially interesting, because OF
the great variety of the assOrt-
ment and the littleness of the
prices-and because the several
classes of goods offered are
worthy, and such as are in broad
and Immediate demand. Thus the
buying opportunities afforded are
unusually attractive.
