The legislature of North Dakota has
this year passed law preventing the
sale of impure. adulterated and noxi-
Gus seeds. The bill does not apply to
seeds which were sold for this years
crop. as the supplies of seeds were in
stock before the measure was enact
ed. but does include those offered for
sale for sowing purposes after July /.
Steps are being taken to equip a seed
laboratory where samples gathered
by inspectors and sent in may be
analysed The chief requirements of
the new law are that persons selling
or exposing seeds for sale shall at
tach a label showing the name of the
person or firm responsible for the sale
of the seeds: also the name of the
kind of seed offered. 1t prohibits the
sale of seeds containing the seeds of
quack grass. sow thistle. Canada this
tie and dodder, and demands that
varieties of seeds shall be reasonably
true to name. The new law does not
interfere with seeds in transit or with
seeds being sold for food, manufac-
ture or cleaning. Uncleaned seeds
offered for sowing purposes must be
plainly labeled "tuncleaned," so that
the buyer will know just what he is
getting.

The horse census for the past two
years, as compiled by the bureau of
animal statistics, has some interesting
figures. 1t shows that on Jan. /, 1908,
there were in the country 19,992,OOO
horses having a total value Of $780,
$4,000, giving an average of $93.41
per bead. A year later, Jan. 1, 1909,
the number had increased to 20,640,000
and the total value to $1974, ,952, 900,
which gives an average price OF S95.64.
This shows that there has been gain
of S2.23 per head. The average price
Of horses per head ten years ago was
S6O.25.

Japan's Good Roads.

Japan is peculiarly well off in re-
spect of good highways. The Tokai-
do, which runs from Kkoto to Toxic,
is over 800 miles in length and is
admirably constructed. There is also
the Nakasendo, which is even longer
and passes through some of the finest
scenery in the world. The reason of
Japan's excellence in the matter of
roads is that in the old days-not so
very long ago-the daimios, or terri
torial mobiles, had to journey to Tokyo
once a year in order to pay their re-
spects to the sovereign. They travelled
by road, with great retinues, and If
the highways were not in perfect con-
dition feudal justice was meted out
to the delinquents.

THE APPLE HARVEST.

Next in Importance to raising good
crop of apples which are relatively
free from scab and worm at maturity
is that of picking and packing the
fr11it and marketing it in such way
that the best prices shall be realized
for IL. The demands of the markets
to which one is tributary will largely
determine whether the apples should
no hacked in boxes or barrels. Boxed
fruit should be Of good size ana color
and the bulk Of it grade first class.
More time is required in boxing than
harreIing. while as to cost OF package
If comes to about the same per bushel
of fruit packed in either way. In tne
hacking of the fruit hand work only
should be allowed, while the best re-
ceptacIe to pick in is the half bushel
basket with wire bale. These can he
rugged with wire hook for fastening
to limbs so as to prevent spills. Inc
most satisfactory plan when selling 10
a foreign house is to have their repre-
sentative In the orchard so that all
the fruit may be inspected and ap-
proved as packed, and not turned
down because mot as represented
when it has been shipped and one is
at the tender % mercy of the fellow
at the other end of the line. Ii there
is any doubt at all as to the straight
forWardness of the firm with which
one is dealing a full payment for every
car shipped should be insisted on be-
fore it is billed out. and If there Is
doubt it would be we'll not to conslgn
any fruit to them at ALL 1t may seem
best to sell the orchard at such and
such a figure, apples on trees, the
owner being relieved of the job OF
picking. In any event, however. he
will do we'll to be in the orchard when
the picking is done and see that the
trees are given considerate treatment
In his own orchard the writer has
found it advantageous in getting both
color and size to make two p1cklngs
on trees that were heavily loaded, the
ripest fruit being taken off near the
top and on the sunny side of the tree.
and the rest being cleaned up few
dayS later. Color means much IN
any established apple market, and as
a rule buyers are willing to pay an
extra price if fruit excels in this re-
spect. For this reason it is we'll to
allow the apples to remain on the trees
and get the brightest color possible
consistent with firmness and safe
handling. The bane of the apple har-
vest is the rough and careless picker.

be fired. as each days pack may be in

sold to evaporators or canning fac
tories, and the remainder made into
vinegar. The owner feels much better
satisfied with the seasons work If
there is not a whole lot of fruit going
to rot under the trees.
The chief drawback with this going
to law over Insignificant matters. aside
from aggravating the already strained
relations existing between the parties
interested. is that it usually costs from
ten to a hundred times more to get
satisfaction by process of law than the
sum in dispute amounts to. Thus in
the vast majority of cases lawing is
neither prudent nor profitable.

had QUIT WORK
READY TO GIVE UP IN DESPAIR
to Health Bv Vinol

''I was sick, rundown and finally
had to give up work. After trying
a number of remedies and several ply
sicians, was just about ready to give
up in despair. I saw Vinol ad-
vertised and decided to try 1t,
and it has done more good for
me than all other means combined. 1t
has built me up and restored my
strength until I now feel twenty years
younger, and am able to attend to my
work again as usual" Job Jeavons,
1896 Lind street, Wheeling, W. Va.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because 1t contains tonic
iron and all of the strengthening
blood-mahng and bodybuilding ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol is unexcelled as a strength
creator for old people, delicate children,
weak, rundown persons, and after
sickness-and is the best known rem
edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis.
We return your money If Vinol fails
to give satisfaction.

simply that some one posted on the
subject of the economic Importance of
birds might be on hand to give legisla-
tors wholesome and hard headed ad-
vice to keep them from unwittingly

ton of useful birds. The need of this
has been suggested by an act lately

giving towns and counties the right to
a bounty for killing blackbirds and
crows. Nothing much can be said for
the crow, barring his utility as scav-
enger, but it is different with the black
bird, which is classed as one of the
useful birds. Had some one been on
hand at the time this bill was passed

have passed.

Once in a while there is an orchard
which is too thrifty to bear fruit. the
case being analogous to the farm ami
NAL which gets so fat that it will not
breed satisfactorily. This difficulty
with the orchard may be helped some
by removing mulch if there is any.
blowing the orchard and growing some
crop which will remove surplus moist
ure and energy from the soil. Another
way of toning the trees down is to
prune heavily or to remove narrow
strips of bark running parallel with
the trunk. This last expedient should
only be tried as last resort and then
only by one who understands the job
and will not overdo it,

There is altogether too much trutn In
the seemingly extravagant statement
that if a fellow steals ham he goes
to prison for it, but If he steals
railroad or wrecks a bank he goes
scot free.
Farmers and gardeners in Massa-
chusetts are suffering considerable
damage from deer, the killing OF which
has been prohibited for number OF
years past and are now asking the
legislature for permission to kill ma
rauding deer which appear on their
premises. The deer seem to realize
that they are privileged characters and
presuming on this have become so bold
that they invade farm fields and gar
dens and do much damage in a single
night. This is an illustration OF pro-
lection which has been carried too far
and is overdonp. Permission to Kill
trespassing animals would doubtless
put a stop to the nuisance and make
them seek uncutivated fields and tim
ber lots.
