Money from Apples.

One of the troubles with fruit-grow-
ers who do not keep posted on the de-
mands of the market is the idea they
have that any sort of an apple will sell
at some price. This is so as far as it
goes, provided the fruit Is properly
graded, but when one packs all grades
in the same basket or barrel, the
chances are. nine out of ten, that the
fruit will bring only the price Of the
poorest specimens. The most success
full fruit growers have but two grades.
and any fruit. particularly apples. that
falls below the second grade. goes to
the cider MILL
If this plan is carried out and the
packing is done attractively, the two
grades Of fruit will bring in greater
profit than would be possible If all of
the fruit was marketed with little or
no sorting. Care should also he taken
that the fruit is picked carefully; have
each specimen go into the barrel with
its stem on. but not with twig which
will injure the other fruit.

The Educated Woman.

The woman Of the future must set
tie the problem that now Expresses us
as to the part which physical train
ing and athletics must play in her
daily life. The girl who takes prizes
in athletics during her four years in
college, and then goes home to town
or village where there is neither gym
nasium nor basketball team nor golf
links, may easily find herself irrita-
BILE under her privation. There is one
suggestion for the partial solution of
the problem. but 1t is not popular
one. The sound mind in the sound
body may thrive not only on syste-
matte athletic training, but also on
manual labor Of the most practical
kind. The stigma so long resting Oh
domestic labor must sometimes be re-
moved, as that which long rested on
trade" has been. 1t is partly reac-
tionary. Some clever writer has said:

Health and Beauty Hints.

Lemon in glass of warm water,
taken before breakfast twice week,
is excellent for the complexion.
Don't give way to nerves, emotions
or tears; they surely ruin good looks
"NO emotions no wrinkles" is an old
beauty recipe.
Don't forget to rinse the face with
clear water, after using soap, because
you don't want any left on the face to
clog the pores. Once day is quite
often enough to use soap.
| 1t is useful to know that a nightly
gargle of salt and water STRENGTHENS
the throat. 1t is also said that pas-
ter of wet salt will take out the pain
of bee and wasp stings.
| Don't use a sponge; it no longer fills
a long-felt want on the toilet table be-
cause it is apt to become filled with
germs poisonous to the skin. Use a bit
of antiseptic cloth or the hands.
There was time when women
thought they could not have pretty
figure unless they were uncomfortable.
Now all beauty doctors emphasize the
fact that discomfort means ugliness.
We all know the refreshment to the
tired and weary of a hot or cold bath,
and this is doubled if the juice of three
lemons is squeezed into the hot water,
throwing the lemons themselves in
also.
Don't gush if you want to be attrac-
tive. You may not be beautiful or
clever, but if good tempered. possessed
of the gift of looking on the golden
gushing, you may be more attractive
than many girls who can boast only Of
their beauty.

Moss Is lndestructible.

There is a creeping moss found ir
the islands Of the West Indies which
is called the "life tree" or, more prop
erly, the life plant" Its powers OF
vitality are said to be beyond those OF
any other plant. 1t is absolutely in
destructlble by any means except i'm
mersion In boiling water or application
of red-hot iron. 1t may be cut ur
and divided In any manner and the
smallest shreds will throw out roots

this extraordinary plant have beer
placed in a closed alright, dark box
without moisture Of any sort, and still
they grow.

of return to certain phases of manual

While the average harrow. such as

something of different construction IS
necessary for stony or rough Srouhu.
The tool shown in the illustration Is
one of the best harrows possible to use
on rough ground. The main feature of
the tool is that it is hinged i'll the mid

or stumps, either side may be lifted

DOWNFALL OF COUNTY FAIRS.
Some of the Causes Which Have Com
tributed Toward Bringing the End.


IN the early days of the county fair
the chief aim of the promoters was
to introduce to the attention of the
farmers better breeds of animals and
improved farm and garden products.
At the present time these have become
so common that it is utterly imposSi-
bic to get up any such degree of en-
thusiaSm as was experienced in the
earlier days. In not few instances
professional exhibitors have been III
vited and paid for their Attendance. II
is not strange that under such circum-
stances local members should gradu-
ally lose interest in the objects of the
fair society and Indicate it by their
absence from the exhibitions.
1T is no use to exhibit" they say,
for everything is cut and dried. and
it is as well known in advance as aft
erwards to whom the prizes will go
Another custom that for many years
has prevailed in some PAGES is to have
exhibitors in one class judges III some
other class, as, for instance, the eX-
hibitors of Jersey cattle We're made
judges of Shorthorns or HerefordS.
while the owners of these beef breeds
were made judges of the Jerseys. Va
cancies in the committees have been
filled by nomination, so that exhibitors
had the best of opportunities for Sc
lecting judges as well as for the ex-
change Of favors.
At an exhibition where I was invited
to help judge garden products | was
told by the management that 1t was
the policy of the association to see
that every exhibitor was awarded some
kind Of prize, that he might be en-
courage to exhibit in years to come.
Few fair gOers Of experience but have
known instances where inferior eX-
hibits have taken leading prizes above
better goods for no other reason than
that the former were owned and shown
by wealthy or prominent members of
the community whom 1t was believed
must be shown some Partially in or
der to hold their good will and interest
In the organization.
With such corruptible practices al
lowed, IT Is not to be wondered at that
men who mean to deal honestly and
demand the same treatment from 9TH
ers should lose confidence In that kind
Of promotion Of agriculture" With
a great many farmers the ordinary fair
have become an old story. They say
that they seldom find much that is new
or specially interesting. The same
herds, the same focks, apparently the
same fruits and vegetables ON which
they have looked over and over again
in years past, and to large extent the
same plows, harrows and other farm
implements, are brought out from the
same warehouses where they may be
seen In far greater abundance any bust
ness day in the year and that with
out paying a gate fee to enter.-Denver

Farm Notes,

The farms Of the United States cover
S41, 100000 acres and employ nearly
1O,5OO,OOO people.
The total income of all American
farmers last year was about five and
one-half million dollars.

1t requires the labor of about ten
millions of men and women for nine
months of the year to harvest all the
crops of the world.
Manitoba is the greatest wheat-rais-
ing country in the world. 1t Yields
twenty-five bushels to the acre; North
Dakota yields only thirteen.
An egg-laying race is in progress at
the Agricultural College of Australia in
which the American Brown Leghorns
and the Australian Silver Laced Wyan-
dottes lead. At the last count the
Americans were five ahead of the Aus
tralians. The total number laid up to
that date by these and other competing
breeds was $50.

amount was nearly doubled, and a

this respect if the animals are given
suitable quarters, where they may be
free from wet and sufficiently warm
so that there Is no danger of chilling.
In some respects the result of crossing
a Cotswold ram with ewes of other
breeds. notably South Downs. gives a
stronger animal than the pure-bred
Cotswold. The length of the fleece, as
we'll as other desirable features Of the
breed, make it we'll worth the atten-
ton Of sheep raisers, at least for cross
ing purposes.

Don't brush the hair only. Brush
the scalp until it CLOVIS.
Don't fail to apply a tonic to hair
and scalp at least once a week.
Don't wear the hair always in the
same style. A change of mode is ben
eficial.
AS rule, don't wash the hair often
err than once a month. Too frequent
washing makes it dry.
Don't tie the hair, or roll or twist 1t
in any way tightly This strains the
roots of the hair, and is very injurious
Don't use many hairpins. If each
pin is made to do its duty, and the hair
is arranged to fit the head, few pins
will be needed.
Don't SINCE or clip the ends Of the
hair. Don't use coarse brush, but
one that has long, fine, unbleached and
undyed bristes.
Don't buy cheap dressing comb. 1t
pays to buy good flexible tortoise
shell comb, even if you must do with

Machinery in the Wheat Field.

The grower who raises Il square mile
OF more of wheat is constantly look.
ing for machinery that will lessen the
expense of harvesting and threshing
the crop. For this reason the machine
known as the header has come into
favor within few years. The header
clips the stalks of wheat few inches
below the head of the grain, and no
binding is necessary. 1t cuts q swatb
twelve feet wide. The four horses
which furnish the power are hitched
behind, and they push the machine
into the field. A self-binder is drawn
by three or four horses and cuts n
swath six or seven feet wide. A head
er will harvest forty acres day,
while the capacity of binder is fit
teen acres a day. The cuttings are car
ried from the header, by an endless
belt, to header barge, which is
driven beside the machine. When one
barge is full it is driven to the stack
and another takes its place. The adj
vantage of binder is that the wheat
can he cut before it is thoroughly ripe,
as the rlpening process will continue
in the shock. Harvesting is often be-
gun with binder and finished with Il
header. A new machine which Is being
tested by the farmers is combina-
ton binder and header. A header Is
Indispensable when the wheat is short
1t lessons the expense of harvesting,
as the wheat goes at once into the
stack, instead of being shocked and
then stacked.-Review Of Reviews.
