= The artificial production of pearls in
large quantities is a simple problem, in
the view Of DR.. Fl. Lyster Jameson. One
cause of pearl formation proves to be a
worm, which has its origin in the cookie

pass to the mussel, and may be eaten
| with the latter by the elder or scOter
reaching maturity In the intestines of

| musseI long enough pearls are formed.

fuses can then be left to themselves in
suitable beds until the pearls are suffl-
GENTLY developed.

BETTER THAN BARRELS.
Bushel Boxes for Apples Are Becom-
ing Popular in All Parts of the
United States.

West OF the Rocky mountains boxes
are used in which to pack apples and
never barrels, and east Of there they
are becoming more popular every year.
There are several objections to the bar
rel as a package for this fruit, among
them being that consumers In the city
do not want so much fruit at one time
as it contains. They rarely have space
in their storerooms for barrel, and
few have cool enough places to keep
apples long, before they will rot. These
facts often deter our best customers, the
city people, from getting apples in suf-
ficient quantities to induce them to use
them literally. Some of the exporters
Of apples to foreign countries greatly
prefer boxes, for they suit the trade
there, and pack closer in the holds OF
ships than barrels where it is space
that is charged for, rather than weight.
However, all who have tried boxes are
not agreed as to their use in preference
to barrels, although most of them are.
There are differences In the sizes and
shapes of the boxes in use, but that
holding about bushel, which is close to
so pounds of apples, is the one generally
used The dimensions of the California
apple boxes are 10 by II by 20 inches,
inside measurements. In Washington
and Oregon the common size Is 11R by
IL by 1871 inches in the clear, while a
smaller one Of 1917 by 111s by IS inches
is used in some cases. Colorado uses
one 11A by 11% by IS inches inside. So
that we see that there Is no standard
size generally adopted as yet. The diff
ferent sizes of apples require to be
packed in different numbers Of tiers,
which also tends to compiCate the mat
ter. Some Of the boxes are made with
solid ends Of about three uarter-inch
thickness, but the newer style has pan
eled ends, with one-quarter-inch stuff
for the inside panel This gives less
weight, Is economical of lumber and af-
fords a very convenient hold for the
hands. The thickness Of the sides is
variable, but light stuff, one-quarter-
inch or less is better than that which
Is heavy; for 1t costs less and springs
outward when the box is tightly packed,
thus causing less bruising than rigid
sides A half-inch narrow cleat Is then
nailed over the ends of the side boards,
which gives strength and protection in
handling and shipping. The apple box
costs little more per content bushel
than the barrel, but 1t is far more profit
able to the grower in the end.-Prof.
Van Deman, in Rural World.

ity, unless the pickers are carefully eau
toned in the beginning, that they will
put unripe fruit with the calyx attached
in the boxes and they are also very like
ly to make the boxes vary great deal In
the size and ripeness Of the fruit. Small
green berries will often be placed in the
bottom Of the box with, large ripe fruit
on top 1t is very essential that boxes
should be pua on the market as nearly
uniform as possible, both in size and
ripeness of the fruit. This is the only
successful method
Raspberries should be gathered In
the early morning, so the berries can
be placed on the market before the heat
OF the day, or be shipped so as to reach
their destination that day. A little de-
lay In picking may often be the cause
OF great loss, as the berries ripen dur
ing the warmest weather, and If exposed

HOME DAIRY NOTES.
Success in Butter-MnIxing Depends on
Cleanliness and Proper Hand
ling of Cream.

One of the most important requisites
OF good butter Is perfect cleanliness,
not only in the dairy but in the milk
ing. careless mixer will often get
trash into the milk. that will change
flavor of both milk and butter, and all
the extra care that can be given 1t in
the dairy will not out root this I'M
pleasant odor. Then again there are
weeds which the cows get hold of which
will give a most unpleasant flavor to
the milk, and change of pasture is
often necessary. Those who have the
care Of the cows are just as often re-
sponsible for the inferior butter as the
dairy maid. The old-fashioned spring
house Is but rarely met with these days,
but the pOssessOr OF a good spring
house, where there is constant stream
of clear, cold water running through,
has something to be very thankful for,
and all the modern appliances for max
ing sweet butter can hardly equal this.
Some dairy writer's say that the cream
should be churned sweet; | have tried
this plan, but find that the sweetest
butter and the greatest amount can be
made from the ripened cream, but over
ripe cream has very unpleasant flavor.
When the cream Is churned sweet, or
when 1t has just begun to sour, very
small returns will be received, and after
the buttermilk has been allowed to set
awhile a great deal of cream will be
found on top, so l have decided this Is
very wasteful method unless one has
cream separator. l prefer the very
wide, flat tin pans or tin buckets for
raising the cream, as it seems to rise
better than In the deep receptacles, and
then 1t can be skinned with so much
more ease. Churning requires time
strength and patience; the impatient
churner usually allows hot water to do
the work, and the result Is white and
inferior butter During warm wealth

Dark, angular, moss-covered stones

roots, thus aiding nature in maintaining
moisture. 1t will have to be well wa

established with the subsoil. To give
a natural effect to the whole, masses OF
stone may be scattered about in a hap

asks our opinion "of It's being and

ton was made from sketch furnished
by Mr.. Honabarger.
These natural CRAFTS are to be seen
occasionally but this is the first time
we have known of one on an apple tree.
What starts them cannot be exactly as
certained in each case, but in some man
ner the small twig becomes attached to
the neighboring limb and the union be-
comes stronger and more perfect each
year. A wound may have presented the
opportunity for the first connection,
The chances are very small for such
freaks. however, as Is shown by the
fact that they are so rare. Such con-
nection may easily be made by grating
the end OF twig from one limb into
another limb just as scion would be
inserted into the side OF large limb.

Big Money In Raspberries.

Experienced growers Of raspberries
claim that with good varieties and care
an acre will produce as many bushels
AZ II will OF corn and give five times
as much profit, as well as remain for
several years after the plants have been
started. Occasionally estimates are
given OF large yields and good prices,
but at the present time more raspber-
ries are grown than formerly. and prices
are not 30 high; nevertheless large
number OF growers do not use SUM-
cheney OF fertilizer and could secure
larger crops by more Iudicious cultiyx-
ton. Midland Farmer,
