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

| would suggest to the fruit and
vegetable growers, first, never ship
your products to 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 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 a mistaken idea of economy to use
| old, dirty and tas is often doney, half,
dilapidated packages of any kind. be-
cause the cost is 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 and 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 aot.
tom or center of the package and
good on top. This is fraud, and II
you expect honesty from your com.
mission merchant, you must set him
the example of being honest yourself
ard not try to make him a party to
your dishonesty in robbing the pur-
chaser of your fraudulently packed
goods.

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

l know of no work upon the farm
that will make such a decided i'm
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. l have
been, in fact, surprised with the good
results. am very glad to get the
words of a writer in one of our very
valuable exchanges where he says:
Our whole philosophy of 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
If they get start by reason of the
shading by the tame grasses. Remem-
ber the old Scotchman's remark: If
you keep the bushel full of wheat, there
is no room for chaff'"
Rape as cover crop would pre-
vent many of our loose soils from
blowing during the winter and also
hold the winter SHOWS. Altogether |
fully believe it would mean much If
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 comparatively
rich?

POULTRY ASSOCIATION AT COLO.
RADIO SPRINGS HAS TWO
HUNDRED MEMBERS.
DRY CLIMATE AN AID
LARGE NUMBERS KEPT ON SMALL
TRACTS ARE NoTIcEABLY
HEALTHY.
BY H. NJ. Cottrell of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural College

IlCulIurdi tolleSe.
Colorado Springs is one of the larg-
est poultry centers in Colorado. The
Poultry association at this place has
an active membership of over 200. all
OF them raising poultry to make money.
The association holds monthly meet
ings and during the winter months the
attendance is large
The altitude of Colorado Springs is
nearly 5000 feet and the success of
the many poultry men at this place
demonstrates the special adaptabiliiy
OF Colorado for poultry production.
The Colorado Springs poultry men
have shown that the high altitude, dry
climate and sunshine are as conducive
to the health. vigor and thrift of poul-
try as they are beneficial for men and
women.
While attending the Poultry Inst-
tute held by the Colorado Agricultural
College. at Colorado Springs, the
lecturers inspected number of the
larger poultry plants. One of the
most noticeable features was the
health of the fowls and the large

Peak Poultry Association. had 1000
spring Matched chickens and 45o
hens confined on less than two ordi-
nary town lots. Not sick or un-
thrifty bird was seen among this
large numbe.
At the time of our visit, August
21st, r. c. Clay had 800 hens and
5000 spring Matched chickens con
fined on an area of three acres This
large number on so small tract SO
surprised Judge c. H. Rhodes, of To
peka. Kansas, that he made careful
examination and reported that he could
not find sick bird
l.. l.. Johnson is keeping several
hundred pairs of hens and 900 pairs
OF pigeons. and is building another
house to shelter 500 pairs of pigeons
He has two city lots and his poultry
and pigeons occupy only the space
not needed for his dwelling and yard
His birds were found in perfect health
Judge Rhodes has visited poultry
plants in most of the states and he
stated that in no other state is such
close crowding possible without caus-
ing disease. 1t is strong argument
for the healthfulness of Colorado for
poultry.

The Day Of the Hen.

About one-sixth of the aggregate
value of the animal products in the
United States is credited to poultry;
their contributions to the nations
100000 or more--an amount about
equal to the nations wheat crop. Ac-
cording to the census of 1890 the egg
output was then valued at a higher fig
ure than the aggregated gold and sill
yer product of the United States in
any year for nearly half century,
and poultry and eggs together in 1900
were worth more than the worlds an

BlackIeg Vaccine.

The veterinary department of the
Colorado Agricultural College at Fort
Collins is preparing to manufacture
blackleg vaccine to be distributed to
the farmers and stockmen of Colorado
A charge will be made sufficient to
cover the actual expense of manufac-
ture. A suitable laboratory has been
provided and within few days will
be fully equipped and ready for work
Blackleg is a disease of calves and.
with rare exceptions, is confined to
this species of animals. 1t is prob.
ably the worst disease with which the
stockmen of the state have to con
tend. Every year few of the best
calves suddenly die with this disease
and there is no remedy for It. A safe
and sure preventative has been dis
covered This preventive consists III
the incubation of the attenuated germs
of the disease Before the vaccine is
distributed it is thoroughly tested. The
best proof that 1t does prevent the dis
ease. as demonstrated in the labora.
tory before the vaccine is distributed.
by injecting the virulent blood of
sick animal into the veins of one that
has been vaccinated The fact that
he will not develop the disease, when
others not so vaccinated will always
die of the same incubation. is proof
sufficient of the efficacy of the vac
cine. When the vaccine is ready for
distribution it will be announced
through the press.
