PLANTING SEDD COCOANUTS.

The following notes on the prepar-
alton of seed cocoanuts for planting,
from the report of the Philippine bu-
reau of agriculture, are worth noting:
"In preparing nuts for planting the
best results have been obtained in
the following manner: The nuts are
selected from trees known to be good
bearers, bearing not less than $50 nuts
per year these uniform in size, brown
in husk, rich in copra (i. e., thick
in hesh), and full ripe. Fully 90 per
cent. thus selected will terminate sue
cessfully. After cutting they should
be placed Immediately in the nursery
provided (of course, in the shade) on
the ground. Prior to placing in seed
beds, bit of the husk should be chip
ped off on one side; it should then
be laid, cut sile up, and left to ger
inmate. Nine months usually lapse
before they are ready for planting.
The nut when placed on end, as is
sometimes done, sends out spindling
plumule easily broken at the point
of protuberance and, at best, never
gains the vigor of those terminated
according to the method given. Two
thousand nine hundred and thirty-one
trees have been planted this year,
most of them on ground that has been
ploughed and pulverized and put in
the same condition as for corn crop.
The result has been a marvellous
growth, the trees being more than
twice as large as those left to them
selves. journal of the Jamaica Agri-
cultural Society.

HOUSEWORK AND HEALTH.

Why is it so many women look
upon homework as drudgery when
really their health and temper would
be improved by moderate amount of
manual labor? 1t is a we'll known
fact that the poorer respectable class
of people who do plenty of house
work generally enjoy good health.
Of course, there is such a thing as
overwork, but as a general rule house
work is excellent, because it affords
variety of exercise so needful to keep
the body in hath. Furthermore,
plenty of fresh air is obtained through
the open windows and in the garden
or yard The woman who never does
any work in the house has to take
some sort of exercise out of doors
III order to retain health But how
often is the daily walk neglected, and
all the time listlessly passed indoors,
while her working sister has been
busting, reaching, STOPPING, going up
and down stairs, pushing, pulling and
taking exercise in number of ways?
There is also, as rule, more comfort
in a house where the work is done or
mainly done by the MISTRESS. The
old maxim Of IF you want a thing
done we'll, do it yourself" may aptly
be applied in this case; it is not to
be expected that a stranger will or
can take the same pleasure in caring
for and keeping clean house as we'll
as the mistress who knows and loves
each article Of furniture in every
room. Most young wives who are
not blessed with abundant means, and
who find time hang little heavy on
their hands, would do we'll to save
money by dispensing with a servant
and doing most of the work them
selves. Their houses would be clean
er, they themselves would be health
Ter, and their husbands the richer for
the change-Ex

WHO FIXES THE PRICE?

II you are carpenter and do a
piece of work you set the price that
it is worth. If you are only day
laborer, you can still set your own
price upon your work. But if you
grow crop of fruit vegetables or
grain, you must take what the buyer
is willing to offer. Is that the best
way to do business? An editorial
item in the Rural Californian seems
to indicate that the editor has his
doubts about it.
Financial centers are beginning to
regard with interest the various move
ments now on foot among the farm
ers throughout the country to control
or rather to regulate the prices of the
country, in discussing these move
ments, says: "Proverbially the Amer
lean farmer has been poor mer-
chant. He has taken what the trade
was willing to give him, and always
regarded himself as subject to the
openist kind of competition as SELL
er." This is fair statement of the
case. The farmers have been content
to be producers, and have neglected
the other part of their legitimate bus
lness-to be traders. A man may pro-
duce to the end of time, but if he
neglects to get fair price for what
he produces, he will remain poor and
IN one sense of the word the servant
of the buyer"

are SO common, that the bare mention
of the subject becomes monotonous
Still it is only by constantly keep
ing the matter before the public that
we can hope to accomplish anything
The article which we publish below
we found in the Inland Farmer:
"The National Nurseryman has a
column devoted to Transportation
and in a recent number, the space
is occupied with some entertaining
statements by different nurserymen
as to the difficulties they have had
with these companies A prominent
nurseryman, among others, winds up
his remarks concerning discrimina-
ton in rates against him with the
remark, L am not yet government
ownership voter, but we may be
driven to it, Another contributor
complains that the greatest difficulty
he has had with transportation COM
panies is the pilfering of fruit while
in the hands of the companies, anc
declares that it is impossible to ship
hundred baskets Of fruit by ex-
press without losing forty per cent
as a result of the packages being
broken open.
"Still another asserts, and l am
sure any one who has had any ex-
perience in collecting claim from
either an express or raiload com
pany will agee with him, that the
agents of these companies deliber.
ately and Systematically proceed to
tire out and disgust those who have
claims, by interminable correspond
ence
'The writer has had some persona
experience in this direction anC
knows that the writer above men
toned speaks the precise truth. The
insolence of some of these compan
les in paying just claim of this sort
is enough to drive the most patient
and reasonable of men into hostility
to the companies. In contrast with
this procrastination and impudence
about paying debts is their method
OF collecting to the last penny their
excessive charges on freight.
THE writer does not believe in
public ownership of transportation
companies so long as it can be avoid
ed, but he does believe that the pub
lie utilities of this sort should be un-
der very strict governmental con-
troll in order that they may make
a satisfactory return in service to the
people of the country for the many
and valuable favors we have bestoW-
ed on them We have given them
their wealth in giving them the fran
chises and other privileges they ell
10y, and it is hardly gratitude on
their part to turn on us after we
have placed ourselves to some ex-
tent in their power. Let all trans
portation companies be held to
strict account to the government.
"But what I started out to say IN
commenting on the column in the

column of this sort is good one
