How Fruit Men Cooperate.

How Fruit Men Cooperate.
Cooperation in fruit selling has
reached an advanced stage In the Mich
lgan apple belt. For instance, in the
case of the Fruit Growers Association
OF Ludington, the stock amounts to FIVE
hundred shares, and each subscriber
must take at least one share for five
acres of orchard. The company owns
large packing house, with a side
track on one side and a wagon drive
on the other. There is wide veranda
on both sides, enclosed with Stats. Six
roller grades, which separate the fruit
into three sizes, are used. Baskets are
stored in the second story, and drop
down through chutes to the packing
tables, which are covered with canvas.
When the fruit Is delivered, each man
receives credit for the proper number
of bushels of the given varieties. The
fruit is then graded and packed, and
each person receives his share Of the
proceeds when the fruit is sold. The
secretary of the company looks after
the buying and selling, and has charge
of the packing house. In this way
uniform product is secured which large
buyers can depend upon, and the mid
dleman and his exactions are excluded.

Agricu1ture in Country schoo

Agriculture in Country Schools.
Enough spasmodic theorization on
teaching practical agriculture and es-
thetic nature study in country districts
has been expended to pay off the ma
tional debt, says the Rural World. Let
us pass into the next stage of the argu-
ment and get down to ways and
means. If our children are to receive
elementary instruction in. chemistry,
soil physics. vegetable biology, botany
and all the rest of the list, it follows
that some one must teach them. How
many are really capable of teaching
anything beyond the 'a, b, abs" with
their hands tied behind them? It Is
not enough that teacher may call up
the class in geography and perfume
torily conduct recitation with her
eyes glued to the book. A teacher
should inspire pupils with the love of
study. He should make the recita-
ton interesting. All this applies not
only to the teachings Of agriculture
but to all branches taught in the coun-
try school, and serves to emphasize
the need Of adopting the central or
~ W A~AAAp oNAOOA oS oCSd1s 49, AZ ~AJ
difficult for any teacher to develop the
proper interest and enthusiasm in the
work of any branch of study with
only an attendance of two or three
pupils. On the other hand, it is
great waste to employ good teachers
for only two or three. students when
they can better instruct several times
that number. Under the present sys-
tenn there is large number of schools
where the number of pupils Is no
larger than the above. When the CEN
tralized plan is adopted it will be pos
sible with the same outlay to supply a
much better class of instruction in all
branches and with "a per cent of the
schools eliminated we believe it would
be possible to obtain an instructor for
each of the remainder that would be
elementary principles of agriculture.
We believe our agricultural colleges
have the capacity to turn out such in
structors as fast as they would be i
wanted for such positions; and, as in
all other things, whenever a demand
is created the supply will be forthcom-
ing. The instruction may be crude at
the start, as are most new. enterprises;
but everything must havea beginning
and strength is gained by growth and
experience. Some of tie European
countries have been going ahead of US
in putting these things into practice.
For example, in the rural districts of
Sweden a garden is attached to every
school, and the children receive prac-
tical instruction in the cultivation of
flowers, fruits and vegetables, and in
the management Of hot beds, green
houses aud so forth.

Selling Produce by Mail.


1t is not hard for a farmer to work
up an interest by advertising desir-
able article in the right way and
through the right means. But half the
battle is in properly answering the in
quiries received. By lack of prompt
ness, clearness, definiteness and test
some letter writer's will drive away
possible customers about as fast as
good advertising brings them in. Use
a typewriter, which can be bought
second hand for a few dollars; answer
letters the same day received; by next
mail II possible. The first satisfactory
reply that reaches the buyer is likely
to get his order, and in making the
reply satisfactory everything counts.
Inclose sample or picture Of what is
being sold, if expedient, and try to
fix his choice on a definite article or
specimen at ap attractive stated price,
judging what he wants from his letter.
1t is this tact in adapting the reply to
the prospective customer which counts
as much as anything in securing Or
ders. His confidence is to be secured,
his questions and scruples clearly and
tactfully met, and his Imagination
aroused over some special and definite
offer.-American Cultivator.

How to Grind Kafir corn.


1 thought it might be Of interest to
many of your readers to know how to
grind Kaff1r corn, as most sweep mills
will not grind it fine, and the millers
want too much for grinding it. If the
burr is quite worn, so much the better.
Have the Kaffir corn dry, put bas-
ketful into a good, solid barrel, chop
with long-handled, sharp spade; add
some more heads and chop, and SO on.
Fill your mill and continue to chop
and grind. You can have 1t fine as
-four If you like, and it makes fine
swill to feed thick or thin. The Kaf-
fir corn stem keeps the seed from feed
ing too fast and it grinds nicely, but
not so fast as corn, probably about
five bushels per hour. This depends
on how fine you grind it-C. J. Hug

by the arm, and gazing intently into his

scene is dead with him, so far as our
means of arriving at it are concerned.
Goupart, there's something here we had

But st. Denis knew not what to reply,
for a suspicion had come to him, but he
dared not speak it too suddenly. So the
two hunters stood for some moments
and gazed upon the dead men in silence.
'Well," said Louis, after a while, "let's
leave these bodies here, and in the morn
ing we'll send our negroes out to bury
them. Now, let's fix our venison, and
then start for home, for we've had ad-
venture enough for one day. You begin

some moments in silent admiration, and
then he said:

They went to where the deer still lay,
and having removed the skin from the
head, neck and fore shoulders, they sep
arated the carcass, and then rolling the
saddle up, they shouldered it, and giving
one more look at the fallen Indians, they
turned their faces towards home.

Sugar in Green Fodder.

The sugar in the green fodder is
practically all destroyed in the silo.
and since 1t is most abundant in the
corn plant in the early stages of ear
development it is an additional argu-
ment for postponing cutting until the
grain is full size and the sugars have
changed largely to starch. The amount
of seed per acre affects the yield Of
green fodder and also it's composition.
A medium stand is essential for the
best results in both quantity and quail
ity.

Food for Fattenins Fowls.

Always fatten fowl as quickly as
possible. Ten days is long enough to
get a fowl fat, and it should be con-
fined either in a coop or number in
a small yard. Give plenty of fresh
water, and feed four times a day, be-
ginning early and giving the last meal
late. A mixture of corn meal, three
parts, ground oats, one part, shorts,
one part, crude tallow, one part, scald-
ed, is the best for the first three meals,
with all the corn and wheat that can
be eaten Sup clean at night. Weigh

Revelations of the Seed Tester.

nGVe2aC1OH6 OF the Seed X0SIGTs
In test of five hundred varieties of
lettuce by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, it was found that
1872 Of them were Black-Seeded Tennis
Ball under other names. A sample of
crimson clover seed, costing $5.75 per
bushel, contained so little live seed
that $7O4 worth would contain only
bushel of good seed. Some Kentucky
Bluegrass was so poor that pound of
live seed would have cost $2.18, and a
sample Of timothy tested at the rate
of SAT per bushel for the live seed.
Some of the seeds sprouted well
enough, but the plants were of the
wrong kind. Thus a sample of alleged
clover seed contained 338,O0O weed
seeds in a pound, or at the rate of
twenty million per bushel. Such re-
suits explain the cause Of some mys-
terious crop failures and equally
strange invasions of new weeds.

What Boy Can Do.
These are some of the things boy can
do:
He can shout SO loud the air turns blue
He can make all sounds of beast and
bird,
And thousand more they never heard.
He can crow or cackle, chirp or cluck,
Illl he fools the rooster, hen or duck,
He can mock the dog or lamb or cow,
And the cat herself can't beat his '.me-
ow."
He has sounds that are ruf1ed, striped,
or plain;
He can thunder by like a railway train,
Stop at the stations breath, and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
He has all his powers in such command,
He can turn right into a full brass band,
With all of the instruments ever played,
And march away as a street parade.
You can tell that boy is very i'll
If he's wide awake and is keeping still; ;
But earth would be-God bless their
noise!-

stories of their early life. At. last it

Well. said Casey, I'll tell you how it
happened, boys. 1t was the year that
Judge McComas and his wife were
killed by the Indians in the Burro
Mountains or '84. I've forgotten
which. It was some time after that af-
fair, however, when things had quieted
down a bit
I had been in the hills, and was re-
turning TO Silver City through the
Burro Mountains, and of course was on
the lookout for Indians. My horse fell
sick, and stopped to let him rest.

spread out my blankets and lay down.

I slept do not know. was awakened
by some one prodding me in the back.
AS soon as my eyes were opened saw
that I was surrounded by twelve or
fifteen Indians. They all carried weap-
ons, and had them in their hands.

it was standing straight up.
I thought Of every mean thing had

lift hand to bless myself. knew they
would kill me, and my only hope was
that they would shoot me. I could al
most feel their 1ances sticking through
my body. 1t seemed to me that they
stood there an age and looked at me,
and 1 looked at them.
Their ugly faces are stamped on my
memory forever. I should recognize
any one of them in crowd to-day, If
should meet him. Soon I noticed one
or two other Indians fooling with my
horse, as he was too sick to try to get
away from them.
Presently they began to 60, one at a
time, and soon they were all gone, ex-
cept one who seemed to be the leader.
After the others had all gone he ad-
dressed me in good English and said:
Good day, Dan Casey!' How he knew
my name has always been mystery
to me. He may have seen me on the
reservation, or possibly my name may
have been on some part Of my outfit
and he could read, as many of them
can.
After he had gone sat still there so
badly scared that was unable to move

a flash it came to me that they were
government scouts. I 1eaped to my
feet, and, though my horse was sick, I
beat all records to Silver City.
