Using Ferns for Packing

The fern plant, which grows almost
everywhere, is an excellent preserva-
tive for packing articles of food, fruit,
etc.
People who have lived in England
know that the English have used 1t
successfully for many years. Fine
fruit, fresh butter, ETC., are no longer
seen In the English markets packed
in grapevine leaves, but almost always
in fresh fern leaves, which keep the
articles excellently. This is done even
where grapevine leaves are to be had
in abundance. Every one posted well
in botany knows the high preservative
power of fern leaves with reference
to vegetable and animal substances.
On the Isle of Man fresh herrings
are packed in ferns and arrive on the
market in as fresh condition as when
they were shipped. Potatoes packed in
ferns keep many months longer than
others packed only in straw. Expert
ments made with both straw and fern
leaves in the same cellar showed sur
prising results in favor of ferns. While
the potatoes packed in straw mostly
showed signs of rotting in the spring,
those in ferns were as fresh as if they
had just been dug.
Fresh meat is also we'll preserved
by fern leaves. 1t would seem as II
the highly preservative qualities of
fern leaves are due to their high per-
centage of salt. No larvae, maggots,
ETC., approach ferns, as the strong odor
keeps them away.

try, was as follows:

and in the country $42S.40.
The district with the highest aver

Tomato Bed. Blown Up With Dynamite.

Lawrenceburg, KY, Mar. 81
Tie farm of James Phillips, who
lives near this city, was visited
by night riders and his tomato
beds blown up with dynamite.
This Is the first visit of the RI
ders to this county and much
anxiety is felt. Mr.. Phillips in
tended to raise a crop of tobacco
this season, but several days ago
dug up his beds and planted them
in tomatoes. He had posted a
sign to that effect. Many other
farmers who have planted large
tomato beds have taken the can
vass off and are taking a chance
with the weather rather than
have the tomatoes mistaken for
tobacco.
