COINED A BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted to Pick the "Un-
derchiIdrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers"
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped off blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner ia
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one of the longest
words a four-year-old ever used.
Grandmother" she begged, cant
pick the underchildrenable flowers
for dinner?"

HANDLING OF
FRUIT CROP
BY s. H. Fulton, United States
Department of Agriculture.

The Importance of handling fruit
quickly is coming to be getter realized.
When fruit is taken from the tree, or
plant, it's life processes are acceler-
ated, and if it is to be shipped a con-
siderable distance or is designed for
holding cold storage, it should be
handled with the least delay possible
Here, again, in the matter of quick
handling, cold storage has been an
important educating feature. Apples,
DELAYED in transit or at the orchard
break down musa more quickly in stor-
age. and in the case of bad scalding
varieties, scald much worse than
when stored Immediately after pick
ing Grimes Golden apples from West
Virginia, picked Sept. 16, and delayed
in shipment until Oct. 1, developed 81
per cent. scald and 10 per cent. de-
cay by Feb 2, while the same variety,
stored without delay, kept in perfect
condition.
Delaware grown Kieffer pears, de-
layed ten days before being shipped to
cold storage, continued to ripen and
soften in storage and were injured at
least so per cent. in commercial value
by the delay. The effect of delay upon
small fruits is very much greater. In
the case of fruit designed for cold
storage. a delay of IL hours in hot
weather will shorten the period of
keeping by several days, while delay
of "a hours may give time for the

The blue grasses are quite plentiful
throughout the west and furnish
abundant pasturage both in the mead
ows and on the dry foothills and high
mountains. There are many different
kinds, some of which are called red
tops by the different ranchers. The
red-top of which we read in the seed
catalogues, however, is an entirely
different plant and has been in cult
walton in the east for long time. The
western blue grasses are closely re-
lated to the Kentucky blue grass, for

SURELY HAD PRIZE FLY.
Money Invested in Incubator Was Not
All Lost.

Poultney Bigelow, the brilliant au-
thor and journalist said the other
day of the chicken farm that he is
about to set up at Maiden:

hope our experiences won't too closely
resemble that of my old friend Hora-

got, Mr. Bigelow.'
"'Have you, Rash?' said I. What

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
Is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it IS
for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of loss of the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is well
boiled and served with cream, it is
really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine, mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left of and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the nerves-caffeine has
been discontinued, and in its place is
taken a liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nou-ish-
ment.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read "The
Road to MELVILLE in pkgs. There's

mold to appear, and the fruit be rend-
cred entirely worthless for storage
purposes. With small fruits particular
ly, the effect of decay is so disastrous
that any agency which facilitates the
quick and safe handling of the crop
should be welcomed by the small fruit
grower.
The package is very important
factor in the handling as well as in the
marketing the crop. Types of packages
have been evolved which conform to
the nature OF the fruit for which they
are designed. Berries are packed in
small boxes or baskets, in which
the weight is so small that the deli
cate texture of the fruit is not in
jured, while large, firm fruits, like the
apple and pear, adapt themselves to
large packages, such as boxes and
barrels designed for such usage. From
the cold storage standpoint, it may be
stated that fruits, which ripen quick
ly like summer apples and pears,
should be stored in small packages
WHICH permit d Idpiu lo"ellnS vi Ihe
temperature.
For such fruits, the barrel Is too
large a package, retaining the heat
and causing the fruit to ripen unduly
before it can be cooled down. If the
storage period is to be short an OPEN
package for such fruits may be of adj
ditional value, though not necessary
if the package is small. For berries, a
closed package is best, provided the
fruit is dry and cool at picking time.

an Ohio farmer. When the land is not

A place should be provided in every
farm building where lanterns are used
or likely to be used. Stretch a wire
along behind the cows and horses with
sliding wire hooks on to which the
lantern can be hooked and moved as
wanted. A hook of cheap, smooth
fence wire can be fixed up without ex-
pense almost anywhere, and it is much
safer than nail, as it will generally
allow the lantern to hang straight
Be careful that no hay, straw or other
infammable material is near lantern
hooks or other holders. Don't set a
lantern down.

Poultry Notes.

For rapid growth feed the chickens
often.
Lice brood, breed and hide under
the roosts.
Swelled eyes with running at the
nostrlls indicate roup.
Gravel should always be supplied to
fowls that are fattened in confinement
Of two things, the breed and feed
ing, the latter is the more important.
Dry salt is as good as any material
that can be used for preserving eggs.
Ducks may be picked when four
months old and every six weeks after
wards.
Select the stock OF pullets you in
tend to keep as soon as they are well
developed.
Coal ashes should always be sifted
before putting them in the dust box
for the use Of poultry.
Much Of the disease with which fowls
are afflicted may be traced to a neglect
in ventilating the fowl house.
Ducks should be allowed as much
liberty as possible, as they do not
thrive as well in confinement as chick
ems.
AS general rule there is more profit
In marketing fowls early; prices are
not any better, but there is a great
saving in feed.
1t does not cost any more to keep
thoroughbred stock than it does to keep
scrub stock, but it pays better when 1t
comes to selling.
Young chickens or turkeys should
never be allowed to go on the roost
until ten or twelve weeks old. If al
lowed too young their hearts often get
crooked and their growth and appear
ance spoiled
