Pack Fruit Honestly.


If you have a tree of small apples
that seem worthless for household use
or selling, pack them away in the eel
lar until spring They may prove bet
ter keepers than your choicest apples
and quite treat after they are gone.
At least the chickens will repay you
for their gathering by an increase in
the egg supply. For you know green
food is a necessity to laying hens.
Watch for the tent of the fall web
worm. If it is deserted through the
day the tenants will likely be back at
night and can be destroyed. These
webs are unsightly, besides harboring
the leaf-devouring worm by the hun
dreds.
Pigs in the orchard are good thing
to get rid of the wormy apples, pro-
viding they do not incline to root too
deep. There is all the difference in
the world in porkers about this. A
ring may stop the trouble, but if they
persist in going into the soil so deep
as to interfere seriously with the roots
of the trees, take them out.
If the home market is glutted with
apples try shipping the fall apples of
first quality to neighboring city.
There are usually good markets,
though of course it pays to hunt out
some reliable firm and deal in a strict
ly business manner.
Pack fruit honestly. Aim to make
market which shall endure as long as
YOU have fruit to sell. The reputation
ost by putting second grade fruit in
he bottom of first grade cases is
worth much more than the price of the
ruit.-B. L. p, in the American Gull

Highest Priced Shetland ponie.

st -ss5
The Shetland pony trade has some
what deteriorated of late years. In bv.
gone days crofter could count upon
getting from s6 to sS for a horse
foal. but now these animals are nrac-
tlcally unsaleable unless thew are
"pedigreed.'
The Shetland pony is celebrated in
every country, and is much superior in
symmetry of form, feetness and sa-
gacity to the same class of animals in
Norway, the Farce Islands and Ice
land. Ponies coming from the islands
of INST and Fetlar are considered the
finest and usually bring the highest
prices. Those of the latter island are
cross between the genuine "sheltie"
and the Arabian horse. They are beau.

Farm Notes.


The cow and the plow stand first
for success.
In feeding either sweet or sour milk
be sure the poultry troughs are clean.
Turkeys should not be allowed to
roost in the poultry house with chick
ems.
Since beef advanced in price 1t ia
more profitable to feed steers than it
used to be.
Plenty Of sunlight is essential in
poultry quarters. Darkness is condu-
Give to disease.
Probably the value of hens for de-
stroying insects is almost as great
as the manure value.
A market for nice apples in limited
quantities may be found in small
towns by careful work.
A strong board and sharp fork
will quickly reduce the milk yield.
Kindness pays in the dairy as we'll as
in every other branch of live stock
husbandry.
Sheep manure is worth about three
times as much as that from cows.
There is a big profit in arranging the
sheds so that all this valuable fertiliz-
er may be saved.
If corn is for silage the best time to
cut 1t is when 1t is in the dough stage:
it keeps the best and contains the
largest amount of food when Just
beyond the milk and just before enter
ing the grain stage.

Salt and Ashes.

Hogs should have free access to salt
and ashes at all times. Wood ashes
can generally be secured and hogs
should have all they will eat. When
not convenient to give ashes, char
coal is good substitute and even soft
coal will be eaten for want of some
thing better. Hogs are never injured
by eating all the ashes they want. but
1t is not safe to give large amounts
OF salt to animals not accustomed to
its use. The salt and ashes mixture
should be kept in a low box under
shed where it will be protected from
rain and should consist of about two
quarts of salt for each bushel of ash
es. Many feeders prefer to add few
ounces Of copperas to the mixture.
Such mixture will do much to pre-
serve the health of hogs, and sows
which have an abundance of such food
rarely eat their young.-Indianap

Cooperative Fertilizer Buvino.

The cooperative farm associations
which have proved so successful i'll
Rhode Island have gone into the bust
ness of buying fertilizers for the gard
eners and farmers. The light soil of
Rhode Island requires liberal use of
fertilizer to produce crops, and many
use from 1900 to three thousand
pounds to the acre for the production
OF such crops as potatoes, asparagus,
caulif1ower and Brussels sprouts. Two
OF the cooperative societies buy about
six thousand tons Of chemicals which
are mixed to order. A popular mix
ture is 5 percent nitrogen, 8 percent
phosphoric acid and percent potash.
They use nitrate of soda, sulphate of
ammonia. dried blood, acid phosphate
and sulphate of potash-American

Twelve mules which have been used TO

brought to the surface this morning. The
mules will never return to the bowels OF

Blinking In the bright light the mules
stood at the mouth of the tunnel today
and seemed little inclined to resume the
ways they knew before going into the

was falling when the animals were liber-

them to try to stampede.
In 1877, when the Sutro tunnel was first
opened, a herd of mules were taken un-

animals died The last dozen. however
became accustomed to the subterranean
climate.
