Packages for Fruit.

FROM Farmers Review: The
question of relative desirability of
barrels and bushel boxes, or relative
cost of the two, for the shipment of
apples and pears, depends very much
whether the handler is catering to the
wholesale OR retail trade. If the lat
ter then the box is the most desirable
PACKAGE Its contents is more nearly
what family will need at one time:
is more easily and cheaply conveyed
to the consumers home than a barrel.
A barrel holds more than an average
family can consume and a part must
need go to decay. II boxes are bought
one can be taken from cold storage
at time as needed. The temperature
or the home cellar is too warm for
the storing of fruit. When buying
in smaller quantities than barrel the
tastes of different members of the
family can be consulted and several
varieties kept on hand which would
not be practical If whole barrel had
to be bought for each member of
the family.
Then again the smaller the uuan-
tlty OF fruit bought, the relatively
higher the price paid. On the other
hand II the grower or packer is sup
plying the wholesale trade the barrel
Is for some reasons the best. The cost
OF a three-bushel barrel, would be
considerably less than three-bushel
boxes. While the freight if shipped
In car lots of 10000 pounds, would OF
course be the same if actually weighed
into the car, the carriage would be
greatly in favor of the barrel. AS the
carriage, especially If done in small
lots, would be as much on a bushel
box as on a three bushel barrel. The
contents of barrel are safer from
accident and theft than box.-T. u.

Where Macaroni Wheat Can Be
Grown.


Grown. $50
The macaroni wheats are peculiar
In this, that they can be grown In
a region of small rainfall and where.
the conditions are too severe to make
ordinary wheat growing profitable.
More than this, the macaroni wheats
must be grown in such a region II
they are to retain their characteristics.
Conditions of heat and drouth, rich
ness OF soil and alkalinity, exactly
similar to those that prevail in. east
Russia, exist in the more arid regions
of the great plains, including western
Kansas. except that in the Russian
regions these conditions are a little
more extreme, as rule. In the part
OF Russia where macaroni wheats are
grown the average rainfall is never
more than IL inches, and the average
In the macaroni region is 1873 inches a
year. F. D. Coburn says: "The nor
NAL yearly rainfall of the great plains,
at the Tooth meridian, where wheat
growing is at present non-existent, on
account of the lack of drouth resist
ing varieties, is nearly three inches
greater (about Is inches) than that
for the entire semiarid Volga region,
which is one of the principal wheat
regions of Russia, and which produces
the finest macaroni wheat in the
world. The black prairie soil OF
western Kansas is almost a counter
part Of the Russian soil, both in depth
and richness.
On this page is shown a map, which
will give some idea of the regions in
the United States suited to the grow
ing of macaroni wheats. The heavy
shading shows the land where these
varieties of wheat will grow to great
est perfection. One hundred to 200
miles east of this belt macaroni
wheats may give good yields and
prove hardy, but the quality of the
grain will not be what it should be.
In ali wheat area west of this belt
the gluten content of the grain will
not be so good because of the lack OF
nitrogen in the soil.
In the map will be seen lightly
shaded portions, some of them in Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington. These
| are regions in which the macaroni
wheats may be grown, but the quality
of the grain will not be so good as

There are a multitude Of women, es-

obliged to be on their feet constantly, who
are wretched beyond description, simply
because their strength and vitality issapped

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, ILL.,, March 23d.-Physi-
clans are much puzzled over the case
of Mr.. F. j. Oswald of this place. Mr..
Oswald suffered much with Rheuma-
tism and was treated by doctor after
doctor with the result that he got no
better whatever. They seemed un-
able to do anything for him, and he
continued to suffer till be heard OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment of
this remedy, which very soon did for
him what the doctors had failed to do
and they cannot understand it,
This is the same remedy that cured
Hon. Fred A. Busse, our State Treas
urer, of a very severe case of Rheu-
matfsm some years ago and which has
since had an unbroken record of sue
cess in curing all forms of Rheuma-
tism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these
painful diseases that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will not cure promptly and per-
manently.

Peruna is such perfect specific for each
case that when patients have once used it
they can never be induced to quit it until
they are permanently cured. 1t begins to
relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once.
The backache ceases, the trembling knees
are siren thened, the appetite restored, the
digestion made perfect, the dull headache
is stopped and the weakening drains are
gradually cured. These results certainly
follow course of treatment with Peruna.

water. Men worked for it, spent money
for it, and, it seemed, almost lived for

knew what they were doing. But things
have changed and are still changing. We
have learned better way. We thor

is not so heavy and dark and We see
signs of it's passing away. We realize
more and more that no reform is worth
