Well Fitting Harness.

One of the most successful stage
drivers of the old-time told me, years
ago, that horse would last third
longer and do better service if it's har-
ness fitted in every part-and I think
he was right. Take a look the next
time you drive out and see if the horse
is the right distance from the carriage
to insure the minimum of force in
moving same and yet not hit, if the
collar fits, the breastplate or hold
back is not too high or low or the
saddle too far forward. A business
man, or better still woman, will at
a glance detect anything wrong.
COachmen and stable boys are reason
ably careful, but it is the eye of the
master which is wanted to correct or
confirm, and the faithful servant will
welcome such oversight A few days
ago I saw a small horse wearing a
heavy harness, hitched to a coupe
while close at hand was large horse
decked out with almost a pony har-
ness, drawing a dog cart. The whole
thing savored of the ludicrous Could
the two have been changed, there
would have been harmony of parts

Some of the Pacific coast orchard
lists are adopting new bushel box for
apples and oranges. It is made in
Wisconsin from rawhide wood pulp
which is peculiarly tough and resilient.
The four sides of the box are COM
posed of one piece of this pulp board
held in place by REINFORCED cleats Sc
cured by galvanized iron clamps.
Many points of advantage are claimed
over the old wooden box, among them
being that there is enough give in the
material to prevent the fruit crushing
and the fact that there are no sharp
edges to cut the fruit. Both sides can
be ventilated by holes perforating the
pulp board and the box can be made
nearly air tight. 1t is practically indie
structible and can be used for other
purposes after it has done service for
fruit When packed either On the
sides or ends in a car there is perfect
ventilation, and the loss of fruit from
decay is considerably lessened. The
box weighs two pounds less than the
wooden box and seven boxes more to
the car can be loaded.-Denver Field
and Farm.

Some time since we gave our read
ers an account Of the prosperous
condition Of the corn crops In and
around Deigo. Through County
Commissioner VIM. DeGrove, this
week, we were informed that Mr.. +.
II. Broadnax, per actual measurement,
gathered hftytwo barrels Of corn to
the acre. This was a crop to which
we specially referred, and being OF
the improved prolific variety we were
anxious to know what the actual yield
was per acre. This, Mr.. Broadnax
has kindly taken the pains to furnish,
and we feel that it is showing that
will we'll rank with outputs OF the
great corn producers Of the West.-St.

Home Productions.

MS is the title or an culLOIldl III the
last number of the Leesburg CONNER
cial. The editor pictures sad deartl
of home grown produce in that mar
ket. Yet we have no doubt that there
are many other places where the con-
dition is the same or worse.
Why is it that SO many will grow
crops, for shipment, which frequently
pay very small profit and neglect
crops which can be sold in the home
market at good prices and without ex-
pense? The article from the Com
mercial is as follows:
Now that the destructive hog has
been voted out of district No. I, our
people should take advantage of this
condition at once and raise in abund-
ance the crops which they have here
tofore feared to plant. AS far as pos
slble let every vegetable be produced
here that can be grown with profit to
the grower. 1t is not good sign to
see Florida town market bare OF
vegetables and fruits at any time OF
the year. 1t is not good sign to see
farmers giving all their time to raising
crops to ship to New York and other
northern cities. Such farming, to the
exclusion of products for home use is
always attended with much risk and
little more profit at any time than
farming for home use and home
markets. Last fall velvet beans sold
IN Leesburg at So and 81 per bushel
and only few could be found at that
price. Last winter a merchant OF
Bloomfield drove to Leesburg-a dis
lance of II miles-to buy sweet pota-
toes to sell to his home people. But
not bushel Of potatoes could be
found here and he had to order them
from Wildwood Potatoes at that
time were selling at IS cents and 81
a bushel. We believe they have been
selling at 81 almost ever since and
frequently it is impossible to get them
at that price. Yet it is not at all diff
cult to raise potatoes at the rate of
100 bushels per acre. They will fail
only in exceptionally dry seasons
which do not come often. Many other
vegetables can be raised in abundance
and sold at high prices. The same
can be said Of peaches, pears, figs and
other fruits. Guava bushes can be
buried with soil in few minutes so
as to protect them from Our coolest
winter. But we must not forget the
chickens and eggs. Chickens, fry
ing size, are now selling at 40 cents
apiece and eggs at 80 cents a dozen
and the market strong at that price.
A few days ago a single merchant OF
Leesburg received 80 dozen eggs by
express on the evening train from
som distant town and they all sold
by noon the next day. Why were
those eggs not bought from some OF
the farmers near Leesburg? Because
they did not have them to sell. We
spend a great deal of time and en-
ergy in condemning the railroads for
high freights and bad service and yet
we jump at an opportunity to pay
them to haul our produce to New
Y ork and then haul it back to us again
Our country will never reach its high
est prosperity untn these conditions
are reversed.

EAGLE DROPS CHILD INTO TREE
Its Talons Became Fixed In the

Dress of Little One.
One of the pair OF giant bald eagles
that nest in dead chestnut tree on
Walk haw mountain, near Caldwell, y.
j., carried 3-year-old Gladys Vreeland
to the top of a tall hemlock tree Sat
urday morning and dropped her into
its branches, according to the story told
by her father, John Milton Vrealand,
farmer, says the New York World.
The child weighs forty pounds and,
according to the fathers story. the
great bird was barely able to maintain
its flight under the weight. Its carry
ing off of the girl was more than half

Vreeland said the bird had been soar
ing over his chicken run for more than
an hour He saw it swoop downward
into a clump OF currant bushes. In the
bushes the eagle pounced upon a hen,
but could not rise with Its prey be-
cause Of the thick foliage. The tapping
Of the great wings attracted the child
to the spot and when she saw the hen
held by the eagle she seized "A stick and
began to belabor the marauder.
The eagle sprung on her, sinking its
talons into her dress, the sharp claws
tearing her flesh. Her cries brought
her father running from a field near
by. At sight of the man the bird at
tempted to rise, dragging the child,
struggling, after It. Vreeland believes
that the birds talons became en&angled
in the girls dress and that it could not
free Itself. The two eagles have been
familiar to the neighborhood since
1908, but never had they been known
to attack human beings before.
The great bird rose slowly and laborl-
ously, It's wings beating the air wildly
and the child screaming with terror.
vreeland sprang forward. but before he
got within reach the bird had lifted
itself and It's precious burden above
him and was slowly rising higher and
