When Jas. Wilkerson and Walter
Steele, two Worlds Fair visitors
of Mascoutah, H., appeared ut
Union Station last week to catch
the l.. & n. train for their home,
they were tied together by hemp
rope. At first the crowd ut the
station was mystified and thought
that the two men were prisoners,
but when it was learned that the
two farmers had tied themselves
together in this manner to keep
from losing each other it caused
much merriment. When the men
came to the information bureau to
inquire the time of the departure
of the train they became entangled
with several persons who were
standing at the bureau window.

APPLE BOXES.

feature is the panel ends. These make
the package lighter and stronger than
if the ends were of one solid thick
piece, the panels acting as braces and
making convenient handles. The best
way to get these boxes is in the form of
shocks. They are easily put together
by any one who can handle hammer
and nails.
Making boxes is entirely different
from putting barrels together. We
never recommend any one to attempt
this unless he has had some experience
at cooperage business. as barrel slaves
are as contrary things as one can inn
agine. Box shocks may be stored in
some clean place and take but little
room. Now that eastern manufactuT-
ers are getting into the apple box bust
ness we expect to see the odd size mon
grel boxes displaced by something
nearer uniform. though it may take
several seasons to learn just what size
and form are best adapted to our
needs. The form must be governed by
convenience in storage, handling and
shipment and the size by the demand
of the trade. which we believe is best
satisfied by a bushel or little over.
The chances at present are that it will
pay to hold the best of the apples and
box them for winter shipment. 1t will
never Go to put inferior apples in boxes.
This is a new package in most mar
kets. and more than one season may
be required to make buyers familiar
with it. The bulk" shipment of fruit
is rarely satisfactory in the long run.
If a man has a good lot of choice APP
pies we should advise him to try the
box shipment. There may not be much
in it the first season. but this package
is sure to come into use. concludes

going advice.

Egg Facts.

In order to furnish more definite in
formation about the poultry business
Secretary Wilson recently directed one
of his men to get together all the facts
available regarding the subject. The
results of this inquiry present some
surprising facts According to the lat
est available tables. the value of all
fowls on farms is $S5794.O00. About
$15,000,000 is deducted from this sum
to represent the fowls under the age
of three months, SO that the balance
embraces the stock that is kept for
breeding and laying.
The estimated number of chickens
in the country lis 25o.o0o.o00. produe-
ing for market in one year poultry
worth $136.0o0,00o and eggs worth
$144.0OO.o00. total value of about
$2S0.000.000 This represents an in
come of 40 per cent.

The Pullets For Next Year.

The foundation of success with fowls
is to hatch ell the pullets about the
same time if possible or get them out
early at least pullets of the large
breeds should surely be Matched before
March Is or not later than April and
those of smaller breeds not later than
May l. Attention is called to this mat
ter, as there is now but little time left
for doing So If the hens do not become
broody get small hundred egg incuba-
tor and provide a place for d brooder.
BY Matching as many as possible about
the same time they will all be of the
same age when winter comes and will
also be more uniform in other respects.
which will be much better than having
them hatchea at different periods, with

become profitable IS winter layers.
Sell or part with all of the eockerels as
soon as they are large enough to be
marketed and thus save cost and give

WATERING HOUSE PLANTS.
AN Everyday Question Answered by
a Practical Plantsman.

An Everyday Question Answered by
Practical Plantsman.
The first question asked by the I'M
initiated plant grower is. "How often
does it need to be watered?'' The per-
son who says. Water it every day or
every other day" is not your friend
You can give the baby drink at regu-
lar intervals. but the weather. the at
mosphere and temperature of a room
vary so much that no such rule can be
applied to watering house plants. The
different families of plants also vary,
some requiring wetter and some a
drier root environment than others, re-
plies j. T. Scott in American Garden
ing
On broad principles. when you strike
the pot Sharply with your thumb nail
or any other hard implement and the
sound is sharp and clear. the plant
needs water: If dull it is wet enough.
Again, take some of the dirt from the
pot and squeeze it between your fingers
and thumb. If it feels soft and spongy
or adheres together it needs no water.
but If it falls apart tlien give it a good
watering. Mark. when we say "a good
watering" we do not mean two table
spoonfuls. but as much as teacupful
to six inch pot and more or less ac-
cording to size Of the pot. Experience,
after ALL is the best teacher. and we
all have more or fewer failures until
we learn.
The keeping Of house plants in sau-
GERS is necessary for cleanliness. but as
soon as the water has soaked through
the saucer should be emptied. The hole
In the bottom Of the pot is not only left
for drainage: it is also meant for an air
passage. All roots must have a free

THE WORLDS FAIR DAIRY.


All the Processes OF matchmaking
to Be viewed by the Public.
Perfection in butter production viii
be obtained in the creamery that will
be a lending feature of the dairy section
at the coming worlds fair at st. Louis
The creamery will be 1870 feet long and
20 feet wide, and the walls will be of
glass. Visitors may see every process
to which the milk is treated from the
time of its receipt until it is transferred
into butter or cheese.
The dairy section at the worlds fair
viii occupy 10000 square feet in the
Palace of Agriculture. The model
creamery, which will use 5000 pounds
of milk daily, will be against the west
wall, near the southern end of the
building. 1t will be equipped with the
latest butter and cheese making APP
paratus and will be in operation every
day of the exposition The glass walls
will permit visitors to see every process,
but all entrances are guarded and the
section so screened that flies Will find
1t as difficult to effect an entrance as
visitors will. All Of the machinery used
in the model creamery will be operated
by either electricity or compressed air,
and only the latest and best approved
methods will be employed
Connected with the model creamery
will be model dairy lunch room.
Here the visitor may test the eff
cheney of the creamery for himself
Milk and cream, absolutely pure, and
butter and cheese, sweet and fresh,
may be bought. Nothing will be sold
in this lunchery save the output of the
model creamery, with the exception of
bread. The visitor may get a bowl of
milk and bread, or he may order .half
and half or full cream if he desires.
Buttermilk will also be on the menu
card. as will smearcase and cream
cheese and all other products of the
creamery. Cleanliness will be the
watchword. The milk and cream will
be sold in bottles, and when poured
into glass or bowl there will be found
no sediment.
In connection with the model cream
cry there will be shown sanitary
milk plant. This also will be in daily
operation, and it will be practically
demonstrated that pure milk may be
furnished in large cities as well as it
can on the farm. Here will be shown
by practical tests the best methods of
shipping the milk, the best cans, the
proper way to receive and to handle it
In the event that the milk should be
soured, or nearly so, when it is re-
ceived the value of the milk as milk
is gone, but the butter fat is as valu-
able as ever, and this milk will be
used for buttermaling.
The pasteurizing of milk will be

AZURE This heat destroys any germs
that may be in the milk, but in no way
impairs its nutrition. 1t imparts to
the milk nutty taste that is soon
relished. The heat of 160 degrees does
not boil the milk. 1t would require a
heat 10 degrees stronger to do that.
After the milk is pasteurized it will re-

Feed For Dairy Cows

The following rations furnish the ma
terial necessary to produce milk in
about the right proportions, according
to Professor G. 81. Eckles of the Mis-
souri, experiment station. By the terra
ration is meant the feed for twenty
four hours. If COW will not give a
good flow of milk in the early part Of
the milking period when fed a liberal
amount of one of these rations it indi-
Gates that she is not adapted by nature
to be dairy animal, and she should be
disposed Of The amounts given are
considered about right for cow Civ
ing from twenty to twenty-five pounds
Of milk a day. For heavy mixers these
rations are to be increased and reduced
for lighter mixers. In making up
these rations it is designed that the
cow be given practically all of the
roughness she will eat, and then sufti-
cient grain is added to furnish the nee
essary amount of digestible material:

The silo.

Briefly summed up, the advantages of
the silo are: First, ensilage produces
cheap protein; second, tits a succulent
food and as near to June grass as we
can get ia the winter and makes dairy
ing the most profitable in winter time,
when prices are highest and there Is
more time to take care of the cows;
third, in a silo you can store the most
feed in the smallest space; fourth. ensi-
lage does away almost entirely with
the necessity Of purchasing commercial
feed: fifth. the productive capacity Of a
herd is increased; sixth ensilage is the
cheapest and best supplementary feed.
