American Packing Bad.

The State Department has published
the following report from Richard
Westacott, acting consul general at
London: II have recently received a
communication from W. E. Boyes, of
Leicester, chairman of the conference
of the National Federation of Fruit.
erers, at Cardiff, May II and 13, 1902,
transmitting copy of a resolution
adopted by the federation, which
reads: This federation wishes to call
your attention to the unsatisfactory
way in which American apples are
packed, and asks if 1T is not possible
for you. to adopt the same system as
Canada, and have all the apples graded
and stamped with the government
stamp. BY so doing, you will largely
increase the demand for best quality
and, consequently, the price of Afneri
can fruit Canadian apples are now
graded and stamped with the govern.
ment stamp, and for all barrels sen:

A Remarkable Doq.

There is Judge living in Charles
ton, S. c., it is said, who owns Skye
terrier of wonderful intelligence. The
court in which the dogs owner is one
of the presiding judges generally ad-
journs at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
It sometimes happens that the session
is extended until after 2 o'clock, and
then, it is said, the dog makes him
self manifest.
When 2 o'clock comes and court is
not adjourned, so the story goes, the
dog, which always lies at the feet Of
the judges, begins tugging at the bot
tom of his masters trousers. If this
is not sufficient to cause an adjourn
ment the, trousers legs; of the other
Judges are similarly attacked. On
one occasion, it is said, after the usu-
al efforts had. failed, the dog left the
bench and began tugging at the trous-
ers Of the lawyer who was then ad-
dressing the court. Baltimore Sun.

Savage Dogs Protect Sultan.

Guards sufficient to protect king
dom surround the palace; sentries
ready for instant action parade the
corridors, and huge and savage dogs
lie before the portals of the royal
chamber. But these precautions do
not suffice to ease the troubled mind.
The sultan has in constant readiness
score of bedrooms, and nobody
knows until the last moment which
he will occupy for the night. All are
brilliantly illuminated, so that none
shall differentiate between his retir-
ing chamber and the rest of the 20.
Each room is fitted with hidden places
of escape, in the ceilings, floors and
panels. These were fashioned by
English workmen, and none but the
sultan has the secret to their position
and fastenings. But with all such pre-
cautions he is tortured by ever-gnaw.
ing fears, trembles like child in the
dark and dare not attempt sleep with.
out person of the highest RESPONSE
bility reading to him. Listening tc
stories he sinks to sleep, to wake in
agonies of fear through nightmare.

Harvestinq Potatoes.

The time for harvesting pot oes is
indicated by the dyin5 Of the vines,
The ripening process in the tubers
goes on up to thi, time, and it is
therefore not wise to attempt to har'
vest before that time. If dug while
immature the quality will not be 50
good as it will be if the tubers are
left in the ground till mature. On
the ether hand, if left too long in the
ground decay is likely to set in. We
have known potatoes lett in the fields
too long-till The ground froze too
hard to permit Of digging. This is
not likely to occur, but has occurred
some years when winter came very
early. The man with a small patch
Of potatoes will dig his by hand but
the man that has a large quantity to
be harvested cannot afford to do it in
the old-fa-hioned way. He must de-
pend on some Of the frst-class pota'
to diggers that are on the market
Flowing out the tube7s is practiced by
some farmers, but this is hardly de-
sirable method, as by it a great many
potatoes are injured. 1t is better tc
invest in tool made expressly fol
the work.

Hill or Level Culture.

Under perfect conditions of soil as
relates to drainage level culture is
best. But there is so little land where
the conditions of drainage are perfect
that some killing is necessary. So
our forefathers were not far wrong
when they hilled up everything. In
their day drainage of any kind was
unusual except such as was given by
surface bitches. When the corn was
hilled up a natural drain was left by
the removal Of. the dirt. This condi-
ton helped matters every time there
was freshet. The man that has a
heavy soil that has no artificial drain
age must hill or ridge up to save his
crop in the case of a heavy fall of
water. Even though the land be high
or rolling a heavy soil needs some
treatment Of this kir1. Clayey hill
sides hold water to such an extent
that crops are often lost from too
much water. The usual inference is
that the drainage is good because
there is a slope. This is a mistake,
as heavy clay holds water for very
long period unless there be means for
drawing it away from beneath. In
case of heavy clay on a hillside being
underlaid with Gravel or sand we have
condition that may be counted as an
exception. Where the land is sandy
of course level culture may be fol-
lowed, unless there are distractions
to the draining away of the water.
