Fruit Wrapping Machine.

A fruit wrapping machine has been
put in operation in California 1t re-
quires practically no attention and en-
tirely automatically wraps the fruit,
says Country Gentleman. The fruit
rolls down slight incline to the OPP
orator, turning slowly over as it APP
proaches him and giving him an oppor-
tunity to remove defective specimens.
The fruit is lifted and placed stem up
in rubber cups, which carry 1t to a
mechanism operating much as the hui
man hands. 1t is carried to the paper
being cut and printed from. the roll.
The twist of the paper is made over
the stem end, thus cushioning the
stem and preventing puncture injury.
If the machine becomes clogged, 1t is
stopped by clutch operated by cleo
tricity. A counting attachment regis
ters the number wrapped. The capac-
ity of the machine is said to equal six
good wrappers.

THE WINTER LAYER.

sWhen eggs in a farming district av-
erage 40 cents, what the dickens is the
matter with the chickens?s inquiries
the ruralite.
ssFresh eggs rs? The hen must be

Gentlemen, be polite. It's not the
great American hen,s but the man be-
hind the hen, that's at fault. A hen
can't lay above her capacity. 1t mat
tiers not how or what is fed ANY old
bunch of feathers will drop eggs in
warm weather, but a winter layer is Il

HEN HISTORY.
To start line of heavy winter lay
ers we selected a perfectly shaped S.
G. w. Leghorn hen. She was large,
of strong constitution, and her average
was over 200 eggs year. This was
in the polar region of Pennsylvania,
where the water mains froze up and
the thermometer ranged from % to
33 degrees below zero for week
at a time. That winter the Clear
field county hens froze up, but ours
rolled out more eggs, their output
always increasing with the price.
Now, we looked around for male to
match He must be standard bred and
come from stock that would also lay
at the arctic circle. We found him up
near Canada in the largest and most
successful White Leghorn egg plant in
the United States. This is our line of
winter layers, and the beautiful hens
sprung from that pair are now work
ing overtime building our bank ac-
count
The Matching season will soon be
here. Remember these simple points:
Breed from the best layers. If long
bred, buy a male of equal or better
strain Do not mate northern and
southern stock for winter eggs. The
second year mate the cock with his
daughters and the cockerels with the
hens Do not hatch chicks before the
first week in April, as they will mott
in the fall and be done for winter lay
ing.

IN HOGS PARADISE.
Strong Words of Very Skillful Ohio
Pork Grower.

OF all hogs the Durocs are famed for
their prolific breeding. They are hardy,
great hustlers, the sows are excellent
mothers, and they are not subject to
mango. Being new breed compared
with some of the others, there is still
quite diversity of appearance and
quality in the different families. Some
are coarse and woodsy but little bet
ter than the "elm peeler" and thistle
digger Of pioneer times Other strains
have been brought up to point in
form and feeding qualities that is not
exceIled even by the Poland China.
prefer these best strains of the Durocs
to, any pure blood hog / have ever

] have grown hundreds of hogs by
making a cross between the Poland
China male and the Chester White fe-
male. and it is a good one. The man
who tries this cross for pork growing
will make no mistake. But, taken for
all in all, the best hog have ever
grown to eat up feed, make pork and
bring In cash is the cross between the
Poland male and Duroc female, both
pure blood and good family. With a
herd of Duroc sows we are sure of
large filters Of good pigs. The Poland
China sire will stamp the, offspring
with his beautiful form, quiet disposi-
ton and splendid fattening qualities
And cross between two pure bloods

The peach tree is rapid grower I'M

careful annual pruning the peach tree
will eventually get out Of proportion

ors of winter, as is often the case in
all sections Of Ohio other than those
bordering on Lake Erie. Where annual
crops are the rule the fortunate or
chardist may cut back few of the
branches OF each tree each season,
thereby keeping an adequate supply of
new fruiting wood coming on, low
down where pruning and spraying may
be easily done and where the crop may
be safely supported by the superior
strength of the short. sturdy. well knit
branches. Thus gradually the trees
will become renewed, there will be no
material loss in fruit production and
the fruit will be of larger size because
of the decreased number of specimens
to be developed.-F. II. Ballou.

APPLE CULTURE.
Keeping Quality of Fruit Grown In
Sod or Under TiIIaqe.

Keeping Quality of Fruit Grown In
Sod or Under TiIIage.
Here is a question. often asked al
fruit growers meetings. as answered
in part by Fl. W. c. in Rural New
Yorker: rs it true that apples grown
in sod have better keeping quality than
those grown under tillage?'
No one seems to say yes or no with
out qualification. My own experience
indicates that the cultivated apples are
larger, lighter in color and less firm
than those grown in sod My sod fruit
will certainly average smaller and con-
siderably higher in color. Our only
keeping test is that of putting all to-
gether in an ordinary cellar. as we sell
most of our fruit early. From this
test feel sure that the sod apples are
better keepers. In commercial apple
culture this does not make so much
difference, as most apples are put at
once into cold storage and kept there
until sold.
Scientific Experiments.
A large number of scientific expert
ments have been conducted with vary
ing results. There is certain definite
time beyond which apples should not
be in storage After this period the
sod fruit keeps best. The sod fruit
natures earlier than the cultivated
and if picked at the same time is a
little higher colored. This high coored
matured fruit of course keeps better
than immature fruit. especially with
the earlier varieties, like Wealthy,
Alexander and Fameuse. These vari-
cites undoubtedly keep better when
grown on sod land than fruit from
titled land picked at the same time.
Where the latter was allowed to grow
longer there is not much difference.
In commercial oreharding | think more
depends on other things. such as pick
ing and handling. No matter how the
apple is grown, bruising and rough
handling will hurt the fruit.
