HORTICULTURE
BY F. WALDEN :

1t is the purpose of The editor of
this department to make his sugges-
lions timely. 1t is well-knoWn fact
that when we are interested in any
particular subject we will read any
thing pertaining to such matters with
more interest and profit than at any
other time For this reason a man
will be interested in his line of work.
The fruit grower will turn to this
department while the man engaged in
poultry raising will turn to what Bro
Their Blanchard writes, the dairyman
to the dairy department, the cattle
raiser to his department, and so on.
Y
The fruit grower will be more in
terested in one phase of his work at
one time of the year and another
phase at another time. The work he
has in hand will be uppermOst in his
mind. Just at this time the fruit
grower is deeply interested in selling
his apple crop. To do this properly
requires two things at least One is
to prepare the fruit in a suitable man
ner for the market and the other is to
study the market and the best way to
dispose of the crop.
y
1t has been my custom to often
speak of the proper preparation OF our
fruits. This is no small matter. In
fact, it may be said that when a man
has raised a good crop of fruit, his
work is but half done. If men came
and bought our fruit on the trees this
would not be so, but they do not buy
in that way in this country except in
very rare cases. l do not believe that
this would be the best way for the
grower to market his fruit even ii
he could do so. The very best we can
hope to do is to sell our fruit f. o. b.
at our shipping station. But to do
this successfully we must have it in
good shape The Importance of put
ting their fruit into the very best
shape is not properly estimated by
growers. | have heard new beginners
say: "Why, it is no great feat to pick
fruit and put it into the box" But
packing fruit is not merely putting
it into the box. Anybody can do
that.
y
Packing apples, for instance, con-
sists in putting the fruit into the box
IN an orderly manner. there are
number of things to be attended to
in doing this. Not long since l read
an article in paper that insisted that
apples must be properly packed but
not line was written as what was to
be done nor how it was to be done.
No doubt all who read the article
agreed with the author, but the in
experienced person would not know
one whit more how to do his work
than if he had never read the article
in question. Let me call attention to
some of the particulars in packing ap-
pies on the Pacific coast. Remember,
that packing fruit on the coast is an
entirely different thing from packing
it in the Mississippi valley and the
Atlantic Coast states. There they use
baskets and barrels, while out here
we use boxes. Not one grower in ten
thousand east of the Rockies knows
how to pack apples in boxes. Even
the buyers in the east who are so
ready to tell us the Importance of

WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed in getting
the business Of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
IF the mail order houses got $1,000
out of this county each month that be.
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for it. OF course
we get soaked once in awhile and If
We do we can try some other house.
Most of the home merchants who ad.
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
| neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price of this
article, and that, but you know how
1t is-One doesn't know so well exact.
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
in a store as when he is at home. And
NHAS%'' 80 hhC mail
make their hit. They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read it when we haven't anything else
to do and every member of the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other men,
Der of the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down. If he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next time
they came TO town and in many cases
extra trips would he made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
The home merchant can save the
expense of getting up a catalogue We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and if the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk
In the home papers, and put it in so
that We know he means business. The
home merchant likely nine times out
of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and | believe on
many things they are much cheaper,
but how are we to know if he doesn't
tell us about it,
"A mcrhant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods so well that they can tell what |
he has without being shown.
1T is none of my business how the |
home merchant runs his business, but
| don't like to see these roasts in the |
papers all the time about us fellows
who get little stuff shipped in once
in awhile and never anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides of question, and | have given
you mine. II it is worth anything to
you you can take it."

a committee will have matters before
1t in 200 different languages! In fact
the diversity of the worlds speech is
a staggering thing when one goes into
1t. Last year the Scriptures were sold
in 20 different tongues in the Austrian
Empire, and so in Russia!
Our hundreds of thousands of polv-
glot immigrants are met on the very
threshold of the Land of Liberty and
Bible is put into their hands in their
own tongue, whether it be Greek or
Magyar, Polish or Japanese, Gaelic or
Croat, Arabic or Chinese. There are
scores of languages into which the BIZ
bic has been done that you never
heard of. Aside from the translations
into Cherokee and Choctaw, one runs
ones eye in bewilderment down the
list, taking in such dialects as Ruk

In great number of cases an on

language reduced to writing before
anything can be done at ali. And
there are difficulties which you or I
would never suspect. Thus when
translating the New Testament into
Eskimo the phrase Lamb of God"
had to be rendered Little Dog" 9th
erwise it would have been entireIv
meaningless to the little fur-clad men
who have never seen a sheep!
And of course there is no thought
OF profit. Our Bible society sells we'll

Congo cannibal for the equivalent Of
2 cents; New Testament for S. and a
complete Bible for Is cents. All kinds
OF money are taken in exchange
ranging from ivory tusks to a basket
OF bread-fruit, few leopard skins, or
even baby camel.

BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger in the MaiIOrder
System Of Business.

| 1t is only lately that bankers of the
west have come to a realization that
the mailorder system of business has
| been a serious injury to Them killing
off the business of their towns, taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.
The trouble has been with MANY
bankers that they failed to consider
the buying g-goods-away-fromhome evil
as anything of particular concern to
them. When Farmer Smith would
buy draft for $50 or SlO0 to send
to Chicago, the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead, while the facts re-
mained that if he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 of the farmer for the banker
might make dollar or two of profit.
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started in to solicit deposits of
the people Of country towns and farm.
ing communities that tho bankers
took tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea of their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families.
and set bad example before the peo-
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way of staples
and luxuries. Bankers are conserva-
tive; and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money
but in this matter it appears sufficient
ly important to Justify the exercise of
what influence the banker can com.
mand in behalf of home patronage. It
is the business of the town and sur.
rounding country that affords a profit
to the bank, The greater this volume
Of business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest of
the town. and the farmers and other
laborers as well.

Here, then. Is a world labor Of pa.

that not less than S7,0OO,OOO a year is
