on a full car of trawberries from
southern points are often from 5000 to
$500, while on car of southern
peaches the cost Of freight and refrig-
Grafton and the high priced packages
that have to be used run the cost up
above $500 on each car that comes into
the state; $4OO of this would be profit
or increased income to the local
grower.
The local grower can often sell di-
rect to consumer; there are no heavy
transportation or refrigerator charges
to pay, and these two items alone
often eat up over one-half to two
thirds of the gross sales of fruit
brought from a distance, while the To-
cal grower saves it--J. II. Hale, Con-

CARRIAGE HORSES.
Development of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.

Since the Inauguration of work for
the development from American ma
terial of a carriage horse which would
breed true to type has come a move
ment to establish classes for such
horses at the national and state fairs.
The sentiment for this has grown rap
idly during the past year, and such
classes have been added to the pre-
MUM lists of fairs in Iowa and Ken
tucky, states from which large num-
bers of American carriage horses are
marketed. On their own initiative the
Iowa state fair held at Des Moines,
the Kentucky state fair at Louisville
and the Blue Grass fair at Lexington,
Ky, have offered prizes for American
carriage horses for the season of 1907.
A uniform classification has been
made possible by a cooperative ar
rangement between the national bu-
reau of animal industry and the Ameri-
caR Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders. The classification was work
ed out by the committee on heavy har-
ness horses of the association.
A cordial reception of the classified
ton by the horse press and managers
of fairs is reported. Among the earl1-
est to adopt the classification for 1907
were the interstate fair held in Kan
sas City and the Kansas state fair
held in Hutchinson.
Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses.
The adoption of the classification by
state fairs is especially urged by those
interested in it for the reason that the
state fairs are in the closest touch
with farmers, that the farmers are the
breeders of most of the carriage horses
sold on the American markets and that
the value of the American horse for
carriage purposes is rarely appreciated
by the farmers who breed them. Hun
dreds of horses are sold annually by
farmers at really insignificant prices
which after some months of finishing
and handling are sold as carriage
horses at prices up into the thousands.
Furthermore, there is continual sale
Of stations to Supply this trade. These
horses are usually of only moderate
value as speed producers, but are of
excellent carriage type. If kept entire
and properly mated they could be of
inestimable value as foundation sfres
of the American carriage horse
When the farmers appreciate the in
trinsic value of the native light horse
for carriage purposes and recognize
the worth of the stallion with good
conformation and quality, but only
moderate speed, as a sire of carriage
horses the problem of fixing the type
will be one of early solution.

FOUR TIEE (1l2l STRAIGHT.

by IS, but TO accommodate certain ap-
pies Il special box is used which is
longer and Il trife narrower, being 10
by II by PC. These are all inside meas
urements. Experience has shown that
as regards thickness of material the
three-Quurtcr inch is the best for ends,
three-eighths for sides and one-quarter
for top and bottom.
In speaking of the styles of pack the
trade in general understands the packs
only when designated as straight or
diagonal. Many people prefer to desig-
nate the packs as three, three and one
half, four, four and one-half or five
tier.
In the straight pack the rows run
straight across the box, parallel to the
edges. This pack includes all the three.
four and five tier apples. The straight
pack is very neat in appearance, but it
is rather severe on the fruit, as each
apple tends to be pressed firmly
against surrounding apples rather than
into the spaces. Some packers place
the apple on its side, others pack with
the stems up, while some have the
calyX up. The best packs should al
ways have the bottom and top layers
with stems toward the outside. In this
way the apples do not tend to bruise
as badly.
The four tier consists of four rows
across the top and four deep, includ-
ing the 9G (six tiers long, the 12S
eight tiers lonG and the 112 (seven
tiers long,.
The diagonal pack, or diamond pack,
as it is often called, is so termed be-
cause the rows run diagonally with
the edge of the box. Its chief advan-
tage is that it accommodates sizes that
do not adapt themselves readily to the
straight pack, although in some cases
we find that the diagonal contains the
same number of apples as certain
straight packs. The diagonal pack con-
tains the half tiers, such as three and
one-haf and four and one-half. One
of the advantages of the diagonal pack
is that it allows the apples to adjust
themselves more readily to the space

Feed For Late Summer Pics.


In answer to the question what is
the best ration for late summer pigs
(July and August through the winter
when intending to have them ready
for the market about the 1st of April
or May? William Dietrich of Illinois
says in the Breeders Gazette, Chicago:
The best ration for late summer pigs
as well as pigs of any other season is
that which furnishes the proper amount
Of protein, carbohydrates and bulk. A
pig has only one stomach, and this
comparatively small one, therefore it
Is not adapted to roughages and must
be fed largely on concentrated feeds.
However, if pig under five or six
months of age is given full ration Of
concentrated feeds it will invariably
eat too much. Therefore the ration for
pigs of this age should either be lin
tied or else should contain a sufficient
quantity of a roughage like clover, al
falfa or wheat bran, so that the di-
gestible nutrients will be limited to
the proper amount. Carbohydrates
may be obtained from corn Protein
may be obtained from such feeds as
skim milk, soy beans, cowpeas, clover,
alfalfa, and if one chooses to patronize
commercial feed dealers he may use
tankage, oilmeal, wheat middlings and
to slight extent wheat bran.

the cattle to go from one pasture to the
other at will is credited by an eX-
change to writer in the Farmer. AS
shown in the sketch, the opening in
the fence may be as wide as desired.
Two by twelve inch plank are nailed
to the fence posts about four or six
inches from the ground, and two extra
posts are set out from the fence about
foot. The plank is nailed to the in
side of these posts, and this plank
should he about four feet longer than
the one fastened to the fence so as to
so by the opening at each end about
two feet. The hogs cannot jump the
two planks, and small hogs that go
between them cannot jump over, as
they are lengthwise of the opening.
The cattle will readily step over. The
same plan may be used for sheep, only
three planks may be necessary to re-
tain them, although the writer uses
only two for them also.

Spanish Tao.

Spanish children play a kind of
tag which they might have taken
from some fairy game book if such
a thing existed. One child, chosen
by lot, is the moon and must keep
within the shadow The others are
the morning stars and are safe only
in lighted spaces. The game is for
the morning stars to run into the
shadow, daring the moon, who, if
successful in catching one, becomes
in turn a morning star and passes
out into the light. This, of course,
leaves the one caught to act the
part of the moon. As the morning
stars run in and out of the moons
domain they sing over and over:
o the moon and the morning stars.
o the moon and the morning stars,
Who dares to tread-O,
Within the shadow?

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Shepherd and the Wolf Is Good
Outdoor Game.


The children stand in long line.
one behind the other, holding each
others drecs - oat. The one
at the head OF line represents
the shepherd. Ii; little followers
are the lambs. One player stands
apart from them, and he is the wolf.
He prowls stealthily around the
flock, and the shepherd calls out,
sWho goes around my house this
dark night?'
The other answers, 'I am the
wolf"
The shepherd says, Il beg of you
not to hurt my lambs.'
The wolf then says, Il only wish
for one, and | mean to have this lit
tie lamb" And he jumps at the
last player in the line. The shep-
herd swings around to save his pet
lamb, followed, Of course, by the
others. The wolf is sly and pre-
tends to turn aside, only watching
his opportunity to grab. When he
catches the lamb she must try to
slip away, and if she succeeds she in
turn becomes shepherd. The wolf
must then pay forfeit and relin-
quish his place to the last lamb in
line, taking his place.
