Packing in boxes requires more care
than packing in barrels. For extra
fancy fruit it is well to line the inside
of the box with fancy paper in order to
present a better appearance when
opened. Excelsior is often used in the
top of the box, but it should be covered
with paper to prevent the dust from
settling among the apples. Place the
first course by hand with stem end
down. The remainder may be careful
~ poured in; but for the best results it
is better to place all the fruit in layer,
making sure that it is packed solidly.
Place "A piece of heavy paper on top of
the fruit, press carefully, and nail the
head on. If the fruit is properly packed
it should require but little pressing to
prevent the fruit from moving The
harder the fruit is pressed the greater
the danger of bruising. Brand the box
in accordance with the fruits-mark act.
Always use stencils for branding.
Pencil writing on a box is upsightly,
and does not give the purchaser as
good an impression as neat stenciling
Some varieties, especially the softer
ones. will bring better prices If each
apple is wrapped in paper. The paper
prevents the fruit from moving and be-
coming bruised and gives a finished
appearance to the case. Only extra
fancy fruit will pay for the additional
cost of wrapping.

OHIO RIVER FLOOD.
HIGH WATER CAUSES HAVOC
THROUGHOUT VALLEY.
Greatest Deiuge Since 1854 Reported
at Cincinnati-Other Cities for 400
Miles Along River Sustain Heavy
Damage.

The Ohio River has overflowed its
banks for more than four hundred
miles, thousands of people are suffer
ing for the necessities of life, and thou
sands more are homeless. All indica-
lions point TO the greatest flood since
that of February. 1884. In Cincinnati
all school buildings and churches in the
East End We're opened as temporary
homes for the persons who own homes
and whose homes were invaded by the
river. The street car lines in both the
East ard West Ends and in the sub
urbs on both sides of the river were
crippled. About two thousand people
on a hill known as Turkey Ridge, in
the East End, We're isolated by the
food. which cut them off from the
mainland.
The regular packet service between
Louisville and Cincinnati. which has
not been interrupted for years, was
given up. the steamers being unable
to pass under the bridges. The Fed
eral government withdrew several
boats running south, owing to the diff
ficulty of making landings. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000 people were forced
to move from their homes. In many
places furniture was packed in the
streets. with no protection from the
heavy rain.
The greatest flood known in twenty
years is devastating the towns and
country. It is impossible to place an
accurate estimate on the damage that
has been done already. Every town
along the river is suffering from Grip
pied communications, limited fuel sup
ply and a shortage of food, and thou
sands of men are idle because the
flood has closed factories and stoned
practically all industries.

TO END PLANT DISEASE.
Scientist Establishes Hospital In a
North Dakota CoIlege.

Scientist Establishes Hospital In a
North Dakota College.
A writer in the World To-Day has
called attention to an important work
in the interests Of farmers and fruit
growers, which is being carried on at
the North Dakota Agricultural College,
in the direction of eliminating the dis
eases of plants and trees and so sue
cessful has Prof. II. L. Bolley become
in graduating the ills to which vege-
tation is heir that he is called by the
western agriculturists the head physi-
clan of the vegetable kingdom. says the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Prof Bolley conducts what he calls a
plant hospital in connection with the
college. At this hospital are found all
sorts and conditions of sick and I'M
healthy trees and plants. A large area
of ground is set apart for the remedial
operations, under the immediate super
vision of the head physician, who has
corps of assistants who might not in
appropriately be classed as trained veg
etable nurses. A portion of the ground
is used for experiments on soil that
has been affected by fax smut or
other parasite and various healing pro-
cesses are tried eXperimentally, but
practically.
Wheat rust is another of the evils
which Prof. Bolley is striving to miti-
gate, if not entirely eradicate. Just
now he is testing the theory that the
carberry plant is the progenitor Of
wheat rust, and he seems TO have es-
tablished the correctness Of the the
DRY. He has recommended the use Of
a dilution of formaldehyde as bath
for seed wheat, and it is estimated that
the introduction of the process has
saved the farmers of the northwest
millions of dollars. He has already
worked out process of administering
formaldehyde to fruit trees as a con-
stitutional remedy for apple blight.
with marked success.
The Dakota vegetable physician is a
firm believer In the ability of some
plants of a given species to withstand
the attacks of plant diseases. and his
Investigations along this line are of in
terest He collects grain, plants and
seeds from all quarters of the earth
and sprays them with cultures of the
different kinds of disease to which
they are supposed to be subject. Such
plants as survive this drastic process
are carefully segregated and their seeds
submitted to a similar exposure. Nee
ecessarily, his process is slow, but Prof.
Bolley has met with sufficient encour-
agemenr to warrant continued expert
ment.
The work done at the Dakota Agri-
cultural College is one which would
seem to be worthy of emulation in 9th
err states and managers of eastern ag-
ricultural experiment stations are
watching it with interest.

Corn or Maize Rafinns.

Indian corn or maize is the basis of
more than any other one crop grown
in the United States. The grain is rich
in digestible carbohydrates and fats
and for that reason is used quite extern
sively i'll fattening rations 1t is the
easiest crop TO grow and the heaviest
yielder among our grains. There is
practically no difference in digestibility
and nutritive value between flint and
dent corn. Sweet corn is considered
to be somewhat richer in protein and
to contain a larger percentage of di-
geStible matter than flint or dent, but
is not so heavy a yielder, says a Penn
sylvania bulletin. Dent corn being
softer is more easily masticated by
farm animals than flint. No difference
has been discovered between varieties
of different colors. Corn is rather de-
ficient in protein and for that reason
should always be fed in connection
with some heterogeneous food. especially
when fed to growing animals or mich
cows.
