FRUIT PACKAGES.

Every thing points to a general aoop
tion Of the boz as the package to be
used by orchardistS the coming sea
son. AMI apples of good quality will be
packed in them to the exclusion OF
barrels, especially where discrimin
ating market is being catered to. The
berry basket of the season Is made OF
paper, and it is sold at price which
greatly reduces the loss of the grower
which has been quite a sum OIL this
item. The crate Of paper is also shown
but it looks too light, and is still an eX
pertinent. A few grape baskets of pa
per are also OH the market, but Otfel
the same objection as the berry crates
\ start along the right road has beer
made, however and fruit growers viii
be glad to encourage manufacturers.
A point which all fruit growers
should bear in mind is that the city
resident has little room for storage
and hence will pay much higher prices
in proportion for good fruit in small
packages than ordinary fruit in large
packages. They will also pay more fol
a dozen fresh eggs neatly packed in q
clean box than they will for the same
number, more or less soiled, taken
from bushel basket. Try it, and
you'll GEE it Is so.

THINNING FRUIT.

Undoubtedly it does pay to thin
peaches. Because of the inclina ton
or many varieties 10 grow III clusters
it is almost impossible for all of the
fruit to attain a marketable size, sc
that thinning usually pays. Whether
it will pay to thin other fruit is mat
ter which must be determined by
every grower for himself. In the CX
perience of the writer, 1t has been
found that when the fruit goes to a
market paying good price, it will pay
to thin the fruit at least to the extent
of shaking the tree to CislOdge the
fruit that will drop anyway, and ther
sending lot of small boys through
the trees to thin wherever it seems as
If it could be done to advantage.
OF course, the lads will have to work
under the direction of some one WHO
knows, and the work should not be toe
finely carried on; that is, the thinning
should be done only In cases where
two or more fruits are SO close tOgeth
err that none of them will likely ma
ture. This sort Of thinning will gen
orally pay, but it is q matter Of much
doubt If anything more will be found

NOTES AND HINTS,

Overlooking is fruitful source OF
balky horses.
The COWS should be bred to form as
near the same time as possible.
The farm should be made to produce
all that it is capable Of producing.
1t is waste of feed to give an ami
NAL more than it can properly digest
1t is strength-producing food that
Lrood mares need and not fat produc
ing.
Stock raising and grain growing nat
urally 60 together OH vel regulated
farm.
Rushing for while and then resting
is not the way to get along rapidly
with the work.
AS panaral rule, it will not be q
source Of much profit for tie average
farmer to buy feed.
There are no animals on the farm
more particular about the quality OF
their feed than sheep.
Bedding under the stock should al
ways be sufficiently liberal to Absorb
all Of the liquid weddings.
All quick maturing crops require al
abundant supply of plant food in The
most available form.
The feeding of grain or of a highly
litrogenous food is always dangerou;
when carried to excess.
No one can do real good work with
out good tools, and tools are never
good unless in first-class condition.
Ducks should be allowed as much lib
erty as possible. They do not thrive
under confinement as we'll &c chickens
When they are kept in the poultry
yard with hens they become quarrel
some and do more damage than they
are worth.

EGG-EATING HENS.

Hens seldom eat their eggs, but they
soon learn the vice. 1t usually hap
pens by an egg becoming broken, and
tie hens, having once discovered that
tie eggs make rich, nutritious food,
they viii prefer them. 1t is also due
to the lack of meat, or som. nitrogen
GUS food, as the drain on the system
by the production OF eggs demands
that the hens be provided with that
which is absolutely necessary. There
is no way to cure them except to re
sort to str eGem. tlacin the nests
in a dark lace, with only enough light
for the hens to see to go upon the
nests with the nests also rather high
up off tn. floor, serves as a partial
preventive, but the surest mode Is to
have falls. bottom to the nest, SC
arranged that when an egg is laid ii
will roll down OF 10 one side beyond
the reach of the hen. | the hens are
deprived If tie priv !lege of ealing
eggs for awhile, they will soon forget
the vice. 1t Is best to avoid breaking
eggs, or throwing the shells within
reach Of the hens, so as to prevent
the habit as much as possible.

Portsmouth (England) is said to
owe its name to a Saxon chieftain,
Forth. No town in the kingdom is of
greater antiquity. and the ruins of
Portchester Castle still testify to the
successive occupation of Britons, Ro-
mans, Saxons. and Normans. King
John was the first to found a naval
arsenal at Portsmouth. but to Henry
VIII. was due the building of the first
dock there. improvements were ef-
fected by Charles H.. and Queen
Anne. and to the latter monarch was
owing the creation of Portsea. In her
reign the number of dockyard work,
ers grew so large that houses had to
be built for them on what was then
called Portsmouth common. but the
governor of Portsmouth. Directing
strongly to this. threatened the new
dwellings with bombardment. The
workmen appealed to the queen. and
their gratitude for royal protection Is
still evidence in such names as Queen
street and Prince Georges street.

Tho pone SurnrlGah Him.

In Catholic Church circles they are
telling good story which has come
from Rome and which deals with the
octogenarian Cardinal Mocenni.
The Cardinal, who has been confined
to his rooms for long time with rheu-
matte govt, is subject to violent fits Of
irritation, somewhat trying to the pa
tience of his servants and his visitors.
One morning His Eminence, who is an
niveterate smoker, lay on divan in his
study putting away at pipe of Turk
ish tobacco and deeply absorbed in a
book. Presently gentle knock was
heard at the door. The Cardinal,
paying no heed, continued to read. A
louder knock followed, but the old
prelate did not want to be disturbed,
so he budged not. A third knock was
loud and prolonged.
The Cardinal raised himself in
wrath, flung the book to the floor and
shouted:
"Who the deuce is this bothersome
.ascal? Come in"

EARLY CULTIVATION.

Few people appreciate the value OF
early cultivation Of the soil about
fruit trees, plants aud vines. Nearly
all the growth 90 t"nns Is made III the
first few weeks and months Of spring
and summer. If cultivation Is not
siven Mt this critical period the trees
how mus sbt"ntff4 ip oSnrYyth t no matter
August and September. Just as soon
as the ground is dry enough to work
nicely in the spring cultivation should
begin among all kinds Of small and
large fruits. If this early cultivation
is not given the ground is liable to be-
come so hard it is exceedingly difficult
to get it into good condition, but ii
cultivation is begun early when the
soil Is little moist the earth Is easily
broken " and kept fine throughout
the season.
