HOW TO CURE CLOVER
AN APPROVED METHOD OF CARING FOR THE WITH &W

after the bunches have been made for
a few hours. When rain comes we let
the lunches alone and the water dries
out OF itself when sound weather comes
again.
To successfully cure clover or other
fodder plants in this way 1t Is essen
tial TO let the cocks alone and allow
them TO cure and dry out undisturbed.
Clover thus cured and aired out just
before putting into the barn does not
burn in the NOW or come out dusty.
In midwinter a handful from the NOW
can be twisted into q knot without
breaking he stocks or wrlngiug off the
leaves.
We also cure green oats and peas in
the same way. out OF thirty-two tons
weighed into the barn one year and
fed out in winter all of the oats made
from 1t by the cattle were collected and
saved In one stack
This method of curing succeeds In
ordinary weather, or course heavy,
prolonged rains mean defeat to this or
any system unless the punches arc
covered with cloth or fiber caps.

EASTERN FRUIT GROWERS, WAKE UP

Radical changes must come about in
the method OF handling, grading and
marketing their fruit crops if the
farmers of the east succeed in hold
ing their eastern markets against the
competition of the Pacific coast fruit
growers.
Those western men certainly know
how to market their products The
best looking fruit and the most at
tractivc packages seen In tho big mar
kets of Chicago. New York and other
large cities come from the west And
always this fruit brings top prices.
There are many things TO learn in the
marketing of fruit II one would get the
most out of an orchard.
The time TO pick fruit depends large
ly upon the kind of fruit the distance
to be shipped TO market and the de-
mands OF the market to which it is
shipped Fruit that is sold to the fancy
family trade should be in the finest
possible condition and fully ripe be-
fore it is picked. Private customers
are usually willing 10 pay more for
good fruit in high state OF perfection
on the other hand fruit that Is To
he shipped A long distance must be
harvested before ii Is fully ripe 10 pre-
vent breaking down Of the tissues Gin

One of the most serious mistakes
made by orchardiStS is that OF employ

portant and the laborers should under
stand the Importance Of their work
Trees may be injured and fruit dam
aged by careless pickers. After the
fruit is picked 1t must he carefully

The consumers demand uniform fruit
and uniform sized packages and unless
we meet their demands we must give
up our markets to the men who con-
duct their business on business prin-
clplcs
1t is q sad commentary upon the wis
dom Of our commercial fruit growers
when they allow the growers and ship
pers Of fruit 1000 miles away to drive
thcm out OF their home market. but
nevertheless that is the proposition
that we arc up against at the present
time. What we need is more careful

STOCKTON, Feb 9.-Attendants at
the Stockton state hospital were given
one of the greatest surprises in the
history of. the institution this after
noon when Mrs. Rose n. 'Gehricke, a
San Francisco earthquake refugee who
was committed to that institution
shortly after the disaster of 1906, owing
to the mental shock and subsequent
insanity following the exposures to
which she was subjected. disclosed to
them a chamois bag which she had
upon her person containing $4,000 in
certificates and checks and $685. in
coin.
Mrs. Gehricke arrived in Stockton
on one of the first refugee trains which
reached this city. She was cared for
by the local Red Cross society and
other charitable associations. Finally
she was declared insane and committed
to the asylum.
While in the state, hospital her hus-
band was buried in the local potters'
field. AS soon as the woman discovered
her wealth her mentality frightened
somewhat and she talked nationally.
When questioned about the reasons
which prompted her to keep the matter
secret she said she had forgotten her
