"A MARRIAGE OF REAsoN.n

The psychology Of an American girl

Of "a noblewoman in England, say. is
decidedly interesting. j. Hartley Man

to elucidate the state of mind OF an
American in this always trying posi-

rlage of Reason" in which Kyrle Bel
lew is seen that Mr.. Manners attempts
to set forth the situation. To Mr..
Manners the chief difficulty encounter

''Why are we Americans so very diff
ferent to you English? We're women
just the same; we're white, with the
same number of features and hands,
and perhaps a little quicker Drained,
and yet you treat us as If we were
some wild, outlandish, uncivilized race,
to be caught up and put in gilded cages
to be stared at and laughed at. Oh, 1t
makes me tired! We may have other
habits. and a different lookout on
things, but we have the same old hui
man heart beating beneath it all, and
what that heart wants is love-love-s

APPLE GROWING.

crops and Cultural Methods In Two
Orchards Compared.
In a recent address reference was
made by Professor E. D. Sanderson of
New Hampshire to experiments made
at four different points upon $50 trees
last season, In which a record Of the
entire crop of each tree was kept, in
volving the counting of over half
million apples.
In one orchard sprayed trees were SO
loaded that they broke down unless
supported, while unsprayed trees,
where the codling moth had not been
killed, dropped the worming fruit IN
til they had but light crop.
Unsprsyed Trees.
In another orchard hardly any first
class fruit was secured from unsprayed
trees, while in third the sprayed fruit
was of noticeably better quality and
much more free from the brown spot
which was very abundant upon the un-
sprayed Baldwin trees of the same or
chard, and caused the rapid deteriora-
ton of the fruit In storage, states
American Cultivator.
One should no more try TO raise ap-
pies or other fruits without a spray
pump than to raise corn without a cul-
tivator. Professor Sanderson Is ardent
In his advocacy of more attention and
land devoted to apple culture.
Apple Culture.
No part of the United States can
grow finer apples than New England,
and the finest market in the world is
at our doors. The question is, Are we
to grow apples and market them ac-
cording to business methods and en-
deavor to make the crop as profitable
as possible. or are we to drift a!on-.
getting what we can for It, with no
effort on our part? No crop in New
England pays the average farmer more
per acre, yet no crop is SO uniformly
neglected.

STANDARD Packages.

The peculiar heterogeneous baskets
and boxes and crates that used to
carry fruit to market are scarcely
ever seen today. Their places have
been taken by few standard pack
ages. AS with general merchandise,
the bulk method of marketing horti-
cultural products has almost entirely
disappeared. Greater quantities Of
fruit than ever before are now mar
keted, but they go TO market in much
smaller packages than formerly. With
tender fruit of high quality the hogs
head and barrel package has almost
disappeared from our markets. With
even hard winter apples the bushel
box is rapidly displacing the larger
barrel Stra wberries used to be shipped
in fifty-six and sixty quart crates, but
now the best kind of berries in such a
carrier would go begging for custo-

Harvesting Potatoes.

When 1t comes to harvesting the po-
tato crop the tug of war begins. We
have found, taking all things into con
sideration. that there Is about as much
satisfaction in digging them with
common thing spade as in plowing
them out By the former method you
know you have your potatoes out
when you have gone over the piece.
In the latter case, no matter how
many times you harrow and pick over
a place, you do not know what proper
ton OF your crop is still unharvested,
remarks W. B. L. In American Agri-
culturist.
Two men to change off with one an
other will lift a goodly number of pota-
toes In a day with thing spade, and
when they are through your potatoes
are dug and sorted-are harvested.
We pick up the marketable tubers
into one basket and all others into an
other; we say all others, for we not
only throw the small ones into the
culls, but also any odd hills Of varie-
ties other than the one we are harvest
ing.
The grower Of potatoes on a small
scale will have TO continue to employ
a good deal of back work In harvest
ing his crop unless he can join with
his neighbors and invest in good dig
ger driven by horse power.
