HINTS TO FRUIT SHIPPERS.
Made by Mr.. Walter Snyder, Com
mission Dealer of Baltimore.

] would suggest to the fruit and
vegetable growers, first, never ship
your products to a commission mer-
chant until you have made satisfac-
tory inquiry as to his honesty and
ability to handle them.
Second, after you have fully salts
fed yourself of the fact that you have
the right commission merchant, ship
your products to him solid. Do not
divide your shipments between two or
more houses in the same market, as
by SO doing you bring your goods In
competition with themselves and you
also show a lack of confidence in all
the houses you are shipping to.
Third. always put up your fruits and
vegetables In neat, new packages. 1t
is d mistaken idea OF economy 10 use
old, dirty and (as is often done), half
dilapidated packages OF any kind. be-
cause the cost is a few cents less
Good fruit will often look poor in old
packages, while poor fruit will fire.
quently show up fairly good in new
ones.
Fourth, select your products care
fully, making as many grades as may
be necessary +nd packing each grade
separately, putting a distinguishing
mark on each package of different
grade. Never top up your stuff by put.
ting poor or inferior grades in the bot
tom or center of the package and
good on top. This is a fraud, and If
you expect honesty from your COM
mission merchant, you must set him
the example of being honest yourself
and not try to make him a party to
your dishonesty in robbing the pur-
chaser of your fraudulently packed
goods

GARDEN NOTES.

II an orchard is to be grown on fiat
land the soil should be well drained
before the trees are put in, as drain.
age operations are not easy after the
trees are in place and are making
roots.
Fruit trees to be hardy should grow
slowly
There is also a disposition on the
part OF many shippers to put out very
inferior goods. This always works to
the disadvantage Of the grower and
is certainly not good for the consum,
er. The latter will buy poorer grades
of vegetables only sparingly and you
cant blame him either.

Think of the Farm.

There are several sides to the dairy
question Almost always we think OF
the side that relates to the dollars and
cents we expect to get out of the bust
ness now, forgetting that there is a
FAR more important way of looking at
it. We have the satisfaction of know
ing that the man who engages in
dairying does not skin his farm and
give give the hide away. Every year
he is putting back coed share of the
fertility he takes out of his land in
the form of grass, corn and other
soiling crops. This is not the case
with the man who raises grain exclu
sively, keeping little if any stock, and
selling his farm bare year after year.

MINISTER A TRIFLE MIXED UP.
Consequently There Was an Awkward
Perhaps In Funeral Grafton.

1t was at the funeral Of man who
had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time. At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on a European trip, and in
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities Of the
deceased, his benevolence. piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vari-
GUS points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
sider would have suspected that the
Clergyman had not been a lifelong
friend of the dead man. When, how
ever, he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, 1t was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
trifie confused. He said:
"And now We commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again.
Then hesitating an instant, he added:
"And perhaps again"

Prisoner Altogether Too Deliberate for

Garden Beane

Garden beans in the United States
are of more than 1856 distinct types
and are sold under more than 400
varietal names. Surely, the American
can grower can find somewhere in
this list the kind of bean that suits
him. Beans differ greatly as to the
qualities they possess, and sometimes
the bean that is less attractive in ap.
pearance has the greatest value for
the table. Probably the bean is about
as little understood as to its require
ments as any ordinary farm crop we
have. This is indicated by the lack
of success in its culture in some of
our states, where climatic conditions
appear suitable to its growth.

GOOD PASTURES.
The Part They Play in Maintaining
the Soil Fertility.

know of no work upon the farm
provement for the amount of labor
used as the cultivation of pasture,
writes Forest Henry in The Farmer.
We have had little experience with
seeding into the native sod. | have
been, in fact, surprised with the good
results. / am very glad to get the
words Of writer in one of our very
valuable exchanges where he says:
Our whole philosophy Of a good pas.
ture may be summed up in this: Get
your land SO full of the valuable
grasses that weeds can with difficulty
find lodgment, and can not grow even
II they get start by reason of the
shading by the tame grasses. Remem.
ber the old Sootchmans remark: If
you keep the bushel full of wheat, there
ts no room for chaff.'"

vent many of our loose soils from
blowing during the winter and also
hold the winter SHOWS. Altogether
fully believe it would mean much II
practiced, especially on our early
plowed fields. Where one has sheep
1t would also furnish much good late
pasture. This matter of cover crops
Is being studied and put in practice
largely in the east, where they feel the
need of fertility more. Why should
we not profit by their experience and
begin earlier and keep up our fertility
While our soils are comDaratiVely

CATION. Extravaganza is again the charge. More
than prices have been paid for material and the
work turned out by the government shop costs more
than three times the work turned out by private
establishments.
This is a standing complaint of years. having at
tached itself to several administrations of public print

duce the finished product at less than commercial

If majority of the committee favors the nomination

convention from the south If not, the seats will be

south.
The national committee, created by convention
that was forced to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt against
its DESIRE is normally opposed to the administration
and therefore opposed to Mr.. Taft Unless expedi-
ency dictates another course, the committee will
favor the ant-adminstration delegates from the
south and Mr. Taft will lose the following he ex-
poets to gain through the power of federal patron
age.
Should the committee find itself unable, with the
assistance of the southern contingent to defeat the
administration forcess it will yield with the same
grace that the machine yielded four years ago and
take its place on the Taft bandwagon, captivating
second time to the influence of Roosevelt.

small majority of the national committee, which

Contests From the South.

Florida, a state of the extreme south, held, last
week. the first Republican convention for the cleo
ton of delegates to the national convention at Chi
cago Florida Republicans did more than the CON
vention call provided for They named two sets OF
delegates to the Chicago convention.
After the party representatives of the state had
assembled in the designated hall at St. Augustine,
they divided themselves as nearly equally as pre-
JUDGE would permit and held two conventions, out
of which came the dual representation that will
knock at the door of the national convention. The
proceedings were enlivened by personal encounters
in which factional blood spilled. One OF the
factions represented the office holders and the other
faction was made up of the outs. The office holders
were instructed for Taft and the outs received no in
structons The latter, if admitted, will be in po-
sotion to climb anybody's band wagon, and no
arrangement could confer greater happiness on the
delegated southern Republican.
A week prior to the Florida convention, I'M
named member of the United States senate who does
not sympathize with the administration said that
every southern state, with the exception OF North
Carolina would send contestng delegations to Chi
cago and Florida has conformed to the prediction,
indicating that plan of procedure is to be followed
out.
The Taft men will generally be more regular"
than the opposing faction, because the machinery OF
the party is in the hands of the office holders and
thew have been given their cue by First Assistant
Postmaster General Hitchcock, secured finally to
boom the Taft cause.
AT Chicago the national committee will practically
decide which of the southern contestng delegations
shall be seated and in instance will the decision
