"Who's YOUR commission-man?"
demanded the Deacon.
"Smith & Jones, Chicago"
"Why, I ship to that firm myself"
"Good firm, eh?"
"Ye-es. But they haven't done
very we'll with my berries this year.
They claim the crop is big, an the
berries hard to sell. Lately I haven't
got more'n seventy cents a crate for
strawberries like yours. What have
you been gettin'"
"Bount a dollar an a quarter"
replied Hank, coolly, as he deftly in
serted a cluster of strawberry-leaves
in each end of each crate, then nailed
down the covers.
"a dollar an a quarter!" ejacu-
lated the Deacon. "Then those fell
lers have been cheatin' me-"
Hanks mouth was full of nails.
In a moment he asked, GLOW do you
pack your berries, Deacon"
ooh, just put 'em in the crates, an
fasten on the covers. I amt got
time to fuss with 'em the way you
do. Times too valuable to be a-put-
term that way"
whats your time worth an hour,
neighbor?"
"AI O twenty cents, I reckon"
can how much time do you think
I spend each day putterin', as you
call it?"
can hour or so, mebbe."
"Call it an hour-at twenty cents.
Now, how many crates O berries did
you ship last week? Two hundred,
Ell? Well, I shipped bout the same
number. I wasted durin' the week,
we'll allow, a dollars worth O time
an two dollars worth O extras
My sales-checks footed up bout two
hundred and fifty dollars. Yours, al
lowin' your w estimate, footed up
bout one hundred an forty dollars.
Therefore, my putterin' has paid me
one hundred an ten dollars, less
three dollars for extra time an ma
t~erials. That amt a bad weeks
profit, Deacon, on an hours fussin'
once a day. I haven't counted Sat-
urday, cause we don't pick berries
on that day-nor on Sunday, Meth
err"
The Deacon sat down, did some fig
uring on a board, and finally admit
ted that there might be somethin'
in it." Then, less incredulous, but
no less curious, he examined Hanks
method of packing-noting the uni
formity of the berries; the neat man
ner in which the contents of each
quart box was rounded off and ar
ranged; the careful way in which
the boxes were put into the crates,
so as not to bruise the berries nor
show visible signs of juice-stains on
the wood; the absence of half-ripe
or overripe berries, and lastly the
lack of sand or dirt on the fruit.
Then Hank took him out into the

LOVES THE PRAIRIES.
HHass Anna Gray Is ID eLiShted with Her
Western Canada Home.

Anna G. Gray is a young lady, for
merly of Michigan. She is now a
resident of Western Canada, and the
following published in the Brown
City (Mich.) Banner are extracts
from a friendship letter written
about March Is to one of her lady
friends in that vicinity. In this let
ter is given some idea of the climate,
social, educational and religious con-
ditions of Alberta, the beautiful land
of sunshine and happy homes. Over
one hundred thousand Americans
have made Western Canada their
home within the past five years, and
in this year upwards of $4,000 will
take up homes there.
| Miss Gray took her leave for Dds
bury, Alberta, the home of her sister
and other relatives and friends on
Jan. 10 last, and after a two months
sojourn in her western prairie home,
she writes of it as follows: 81 know

have a beautiful view of the noun

to see home after home for miles,
and it is becoming thiclly settled all

and stormy, we have had beautiful
spring weather ever since 1 came.

GREAT PROGRESS MADE.
Eanized Ten Years Ago, Now
Employs 10000 Men.

The fact that the farmers in ter
ritory representing 100000 square
miles of the United States have their
mail delivered and collected by gov
ernment carriers indicates not only
the remarkable development of what
is termed rural free delivery, but
its broad and deep significance to
the country at large. When it is re-
membered that this area comprises
nearly one-third of the territory at
present devoted to agriculture, and
that the beginning of the present
service dates back as recently as
1896, a more intelligent conception
can be gained of it's expansion. Yet
the permanent organization of this
department of the post Office was
not affected until July /, 1902, when
its necessity was emphasized by re-
ports which showed that S,466 routes
were in operation, an increase of
4,165 in one year, while on June 80,
1900, but 1875 routes were being
served, requiring an appropriation
for expenses of $450,000, which in
1901 was raised to $3,993,74O. Since
the date of the permanent establish
ment, however, the force of carriers
has been increased, until at present
it constitutes an army of about 49,
900, who daily travel over nearly
100000 miles of highway for the ben
eft of population of about 7,OOO,-

Variety in Horse Rations.

AS man grows tired of the same
food day after day, so does horse.
He appreciates change of diet, and
is in every way better for having it.
When horses are on grass, their di-
gestive organs are kept in order, and
nothing beyond one feed of oats a
day is required, but In the winter,
when they are confined so large a
part of the time, they should have
warm mashes once day, with a
quart or so of chopped carrots
mixed therein twice week. In Sc
we're weather the water for all stock
should have the chill taken of it,

WATER FOR THE BEES.
They Need 1t md the wise ApinrIEt
Will See That IL Ia Always
within Their Reach.

1t seems n little out of season to
talk about watering your bees, if, as
in good many localities, they ara
snugly housed in the cellar at the
present moment. However, it is well
to anticipate their wants. Indeed
there may not be any anticipation in
the case where the bees are wintered
out of doors. Just as soon as there
comes day warm enough for them
to fly, one of the first things they
will do is to start in search of water,
says a writer in the Bee Journal.
Bees are hard drinkers, and it is a
matter of some Importance that they
have easy access to plenty of pure
water without being obliged to fly
some distance to secure it. Especial
ly is this true in teh early spring,
when cold winds and sudden changes
in temperature work such havoc with
our bees. Water they must have,
and if they do not have it supplied
near home they must seek it else
where. More bees are lost in spring
by flying some distance, becoming
chilled, and never getting back to
their hive, than some bee-keepers are
aware of. We don't want anything
that will induce them to take long
flights, much less anything that will
oblige them to. Bees are largely
creatures of habit, and when once
they have established drinking
place it is not so easy to change
them from it. And one of their fa-
vorite selections is the watering
tank, causing much annoyance to
stock, and to the people taking care
of our stock as well. 1t is also a
great nuisance to have them around
the well or cistern pump. Especially
is this the case if there are small
children in the family.
All this bother may be avoided If
we select their drinking place for
them, and get them started in the
right place before they have learned
to go anywhere else. This is not diff.
cult to do. a large jar filled with
water, with n number of pieces OF
wood put into it, for the bees to
alight upon Gf they are somewhat
rotten all the better), is all that is
needed to make a good watering
place. If this jar is kept supplied
with water, after the bees once get
started there will be no more
trouble about their bothering you
anywhere else. 1t is good plan tc
put little salt into it once in awhile
Then it will not be a breeding place
for mosquitoes, and the bees seem
to like it better when it is a little
salty.-Bee Journal.

The Music of the nee.

The honey bee is an excellent CO.
worker on the farm, even if he is not
absolutely necessary to the polleniz-
ing of fruits. The bee can be denied
many of the advantages it is claimed
to possess and still be worth much
more than the little labor required to
care for it. The music alone of the
busy hive compensates many for the
trouble it costs, to say nothing of its
garnered sweets, that make of good
bread and butter morsel fit for the
gods.-Midland Farmer.

POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Barrels on their side are not ideal
coops for young chicks.
Eggs cannot be produced without nj
trogenous material in some shape.
Eggs from oyer-fat hens, if they
hatch at all, are apt to produce weak
lings.
Many farmer would do better if
he plowed less acres and raised more
chickens.
Coops without bottoms moved daily
make healthful places in which to raise
young chicks.
To keep disease away from the fowls,
keep everything perfectly clean where
they are kept.
Keep the outside doors and windows
of the poultry house closed during a
rain or snowstorm.
Feather pulling is often the result
of confinement in idleness. Give the
hens something to do.
Playful dogs in the hen yard do not
add to the comfort or peace of the
hens. Keep the dogs out.
Hens with frozen combs will not
produce eggs till the sores are healed
do not expect them to.
Bowel trouble that carries off
many chicks when one or two weeks
old may be often corrected by TAX
ing away their drinking water and
giving scalded milk instead.-Com.

Teach the Pigs to Ent.

Be sure and give the pigs plenty
of exercise, and as soon as possible
the little pigs should be taught to
eat. BY providing little pen where
in they can get cracked corn and
sweet milk, they will soon be able
to get away with lots of feed and
will transform it into bone and flesh,
thereby decreasing the drain on the
SOW. If the SOW does not lose in
flesh they should be allowed to
Euckle for eight weeks; but this
must be governed by conditions.
One of the great secrets of success
full hog raising is to watch both
ends of the hog and iced according.
