THE p BARREL

WV
Foreigner.
Washington letters state that the Unit
ed States agricultural department has
experimental with various kinds of
packages for the shipment Of apples
to Europe, nearly all of whose larger
cities are rapidly becoming fine mar.
kets for American grown fruits. A
package which appears to give the
greatest satisfaction, and the use of
which is advocated by one of the larg-
est exporters of apples, holds about
half a barrel. He claims 1t to be quite
safe to use this box for any of the red
varieties of fall apples and even for
varieties which have heretofore beer
too delicate to stand the ocean voyage
1t Is also claimed that a half barrel
packed In this box will net as much
to the grower as a barrel full, where
barrels are used in shipping apples to
Europe.
This box is somewhat similar to

any kind of wood. The ends and mid.

of the box can be made of fine sawed
lumber, and in mailing up two-inch
wire nails should be used. In putting
the box together the two pieces of
wood forming the ends should have
the grain of the wood the same way,
but the middle pieces should have the
grain In the opposite direction to that
of the two ends. This makes the box
much stronger and less liable to
break through rough handling. The
dimensions of the outside when put
together are 2SA inches long, 1914
inches wide and 1917 inches deep, and
should be had for from IA to 16 cents.

barrel is rolled and kicked about,
whereas this box has to be carried or
trucked. 1t is too small to be walked
on it's ends, and too large to be thrown,
consequently it has more careful hand
ling than the barrel.

GRIEF OF OLD WINNEsHIEK.

Indians.
Old Chief Winneshiek, one of the
last Of the really notable Wipnebago
Indians, visited Galesville this week
and the grave of his daughter, the
Princess Marinuka, who Is buried at
Attic Springs at the lake that bears
her name. Winneshiek was a warrior
bold in his day. He Is 0 in his
SOth year, but the fire of youth is
still in his eye. The Princess Marinu-
ka was the pride of his heart, and
when she died some 20 years ago.
while encamped at the springs, the old
mans grief was deep. Her desirea
were carried out, and at midnight of
the day following her demise she was
buried with all the tribal ceremonies.
Great bonires were lighted on the
hillsides above the grave and all the
Indians in the vicinity were gathered.
With wierd music and a score Of
braves dancing about the grave, the
body of the princess wrapped In a
blanket was lowered to it's last rest
ing place. Since that time Winnie
shiek has annually visited his daugb-
ter's grave, He will sit down by the
little mound for hours sometimes, and
his grief seems as fresh as back in

Creston, JAM 20.-The first combina-

recently organized in this city, and
which is known as the Southwest Iowa
Breeders and Sale Association, COM
menced in this city at l o'clock today,
The sale is to be one of much impor-
lance to the stock raising interests OF
this section of the state, and on the
success of this initial sale depends the
question of whether it Will be advisa-
BILE to hold sales of a similar character
in the future. The organization of the
association was for the purpose of at
tempting to create an interest in the
blooded stock interests in this section
and to improve the character of the
stock which is being constantly fitted
for market in this region, and also to
combine the breeders into an associa-
ton which would enable them to Gre
ate market for their surplus stock
and enable them to hold regular sales,
at which these extra cattle and horses
could be disposed of. BY holding sales
at stated periods it will be possible to
attract to these affairs many of the
best buyers in the country, and 1t will
be much less of an expense to those
having cattle and horses for sale to
consign them to these sales than 1t
will to sell them at private sale.
