PACKAGES TO FIT The pRopUC.

II the grower has something better than
the average to offer the consumer his main
concern regarding Il package should L.
not to find some eSular size but to make
a size holding the quantity of the product
which can be the most readily sold at =
profit. 1t is folly to pack things IN hal!
bushel packages when the demand is fer
packages containing a peck. Just now. Ii
some sections the regulation crate used 70,
years to pack onions in is popular for 9th

high transfer them to the pot or box in
which they are to bloom. Let them remain
out OF doors until danger of frost and then
take them into the house and place IN a
moderately warm room, where they viii
have some light and some sun a part o;
the day. Nasturtium seeds may be sown
Mt intervals in this way from now until
Christmas and thus one can have an
abundance of these pretty blossoms In
doors all winter. A 5-cent packet OF each
of five kinds will give one a pleasing Va
riety and enough plants to satisfy ones
desire for this class.

GRAIN FOR THE COWS.

Those who are raising the cows during
the ummer on what grass they get from
the pasture and without the feeding OF
grain are making a serious mistake. No
matter how valuable and thick the Pos
ture Is 1T is impossible 70 keep the COW to
the milking point which means good proii;
on the grass alone. One need only try
both plans to ascertain the truth of this
for himself. Further. 1t Is a we'll known
fact that COWS kept on grass alone during
the summer do not quickly respond 10 the
grain when brought into winter quarters:
that is. II requires some time to make good
the animal loss from lack of grain befor.
there is any appreciable increase in the
milk product. This beng the case what
have We gained by withholding the grain
during the thinner. Again. it has beer
demonstrated that a lot OF COWS grain fec
one summer and not the next will produce
more milk the second summer than cows
Kept for two successive seasons on grass
alone. Then too, it is only fair that SON
value should be counted in the better ma
nurc which Will ooine from the animals f.G
on grain as a part of their ration. Tho
idea is worth consideration and oxpcg.
me- ming.
