Good Taste for Farmers.

1t is an unfortunate fact that, in the
past, good taste has not been closely
associated with farmers or their lives
We are thankful to be able to say that
that day is rapidly passing away. Read
the following from the Spokesman
Review and then say if it is not all
TRUE:
AS a rule, whatever pleases pays.
Men and women readily sanction a
larger profit on luxuries than they do
on necessities. The actor who enter
tains has larger salary than the teach
er who inStructS, and when it comes to
eatab1es the same underlying principle
prevails, for the eye must be pleased
as we'll as the palate. The highly
colored apple which can be 'shined
up" by the Italian or Greek fruit ven
der on the street corner, has a vir-
tue all it's own in it's money making
power. Take the same basket of
cherries and note the difference in
the price they will command when
thrown in helter- -skelter into a bas-
ket and when they are packed with
infinite care and exquisite taste The
clean boxes decorated with f1ligree
and tinsel have not little to do with
the profitable sale of it's fruit con-
tents.
A pertinent suggestion is made to
the Statesman of Salem, Ore, with
regard to the potato. 1t is habit Of
the average farmer who has potatoes
to market, to dump them unassorted
into any sacks he may have on hand
whether clean or dirty, whether patched
or ragged. The suggestion is made
that it might add materially to the
price received if potatoes were well
assorted and packed in boxes of con-
venient size.
One up-tO-date farmers wife, who
has picked customers in Spokane, has
been in the habit of bringing them
cottage cheese with her butter and
eggs. Recently she adopted the prac-
tice of weekly packing this cheese in
small paper buckets the same as are
used by the venders of ice cream,
pickles, etc. Each of these little pack
ages she sells for Nickel At first
thought it would seem that this woman
would have enough to do as a busy
farmers wife without going to all this
trouble to sell bits of cottage cheese,
Dut the nckles count up, and her Gus
toners are pleased and buy readily
The same trait leads her to adopt the
most approved styles in marketing
other products, and when she comes
into town with fine span of driving
horses there is everywhere about her
the air OF prosperity. This woman is
doing her part in raising farming from
the low level of improbable drudgery
to the high art of an enviable vocation.
No calling in life lends itself more
easily to artistic influences than that
of farming. Art means dollars to
farmers. There is no question about

SOME NOTES ABOUT MANGO
CULTURE.
CONTINUED from Page I


introduction of the improved varieties
by the United States government
demonstrated the fact that the i'm
proved varieties were very much
superior to the ordinary seeding; in
fact, as great a difference as between a
fine specimen Of the Ben Davis apple
and an ordinary seeding. The greater
portion of the seeding mangoes grown
in Dade county is good fruit; indeed
we have never tasted poor mango" :"
but the trouble with the old varieties
is that the seed is covered with a tough
fiber which runs entirely through the
pulp, making the eating process All un-
pleasant one. Among the thousands
several that are perfectly free from
fiber and have more delicate flavor
with an entire absence Of the turpen-
tine taste. In many cases these trees
are being used for budding purposes
There has been considerable difficulty
in getting the buds to take and many
trees have been propagated by the
marching" process and this has been
very uncertain, hence the price Of bud
ded trees has been and is high. This
fact has kept many from planting the
improved varieties, but everybody has
continued to plant and grow the seed
ling. Professor Wester, of the United
States Tropical Gardens, at Miami, has
taken a great deal Of interest in the
culture Of mangOeS and claims to have
discovered a process Of budding which
with him has proven almost as success
ful as the budding of orange or other
citrus fruits. If the future demon
strates his theory as a correct one, the
budded trees will be placed on the
market at much less price and the
planting will become general.
The budded mango is the coming
fruit and in the years to come they
will become more popular with the
masses than peaches. The growers will
have a great advantage over the peach
gia. The peach is grown to a greater
or less extent in almost every state in
the Union, while there is but a small
portion Of the southern part of Florida
where the mango can safely be grown.
What we mean by safely is, it can only
be grown proftably in the portion Of
the state where there is an absence Of
cold. It being purely tropical tree,
it will stand but very little frost.
it. The time may yet come when
every live farmers organization will
have it's art department in charge Of
an artist who shall spend his time in
making designs, and suggesting ways
of packing fruits and produce and
preparing effective advertising matter
These industrial artists are to be found
everywhere in manufacturing and COM
mercial circles. The makers Of wall
paper, Of carpets, even kitchen utensils,
are ever seeking designs which will
please the eye Of their customers, while
the average farmer goes on his way,
never dreaming that the same principle
lies at the basis Of his own prosperity
The man who imports horses at a
great cost from Europe knows the
value Of "dressing'' his animals for
sale. The grooming and braiding the
name and tail and the artistic use Of
ribbons and rosettes have much to do
with big prices, and even the old
time horse trader, in his primitive
fashion, understood the value of slick
ing up the wOrnout animal and passing
him off at a big price.

Conditions at the Soldiers Home,
Togus, Maine.
"A friend of mine who has been an
Inmate at the Soldiers home at Togus,
has recently returned from that insti-
tuition and he tells me that the condi-
ton there among the 250O inmates is
pitiable from a temperance standpoint.
You all recall the fight the w. c. II.
T., made to have the soldiers canteens
abolished and l believe that was right,
but the condition that has to be dealt
with now is one that there is remedy
for somewhere and somehow, and it is
for someone to point ont to the proper
authorities ana demand that some
thing shall be done to correct the
evil
This friend comes to me from To-
gus, and though he Is a believer in
prohibition he tells me that the abol
ishment of the canteen at that insti-
tuition instead of stamping out the
evil has only scattered il like brands
from a burning fire. and today outside
the grounds there are houses and re-
sorts where the vilest kind of stuff is
sold to the old soldiers and then

health and so bad have the conditions
become that it is much harder for the
discipline than it was under the old
canteen system.
Now to me this does not mean that
the canteen is the right thing, but it
does show that the prevailing condi-
tions are wrong and somebody is to
blame and if the proper authorities
know of the condition and do not en-
force the law, then someone else must
I be appealed to until the thing is
righted. If President Roosevelt has
the power, and 1 believe he has, and if
no one else will close up these resorts,
then I believe that an order from the
President would be all that is neces-
sary

miah advised, building over against

If it be true that the w. G. Il. L., does
not know about the conditions at To-
gus some one ought to tell them and If
they or some one else can't get the
City or County officials in that vicinity
TO do something toward lettering the
conditions then an appeal should be
made to the Sturgis deputies and if
