THE DRINK BUSINESS,

Recent comparisons of internal reve-
nue. receipts have been used 10 show
that there is a. decline in the use of
alcoholic beverages in this country.
This may be a fact as to the very re-
cent past, but if We go back a half
century and review the whole period
the showing is entirely different. It
then appears that the drink evil is
gaining.
For the last fifty years the per
capita consumption of distilled liquors
-whisky-has been about stationary.
The whisky producer sells. as he did
forty or fifty years ago, little less
than three quarts Of pure alcohol year
|ly for each person in the United
States Bat IN the same period the
practically nothing to a quantity
greater than is sold in distilled LIQUOR.
In 1860 the sale of beer in the United
States was 3.22 gallons head: in 1908
it was twenty-one gallons-two-t thirds
Of a barrel. The alcohol sold in
this form was q little less than a pint
+ head in 1860; in 1908 it was little
more than three quarts. Since 1850 the
volume Of the beer industry has in
creased fifty times; it is eighteen
t times larger than it was in 1860.
| So, in our drinking. We are holding
fast to our whisky and grabbing 70,
additional quantities Of beer.
| It is generally made apparent in the
treatment of the subject that the drinl
problem is a problem of our cities an6
towns. This view is borne out by sta.
tistics. The demand. for beer is limited
VERY largely to about a quarter Of tht
population the residents Of cities
Four fifths Of the 100000 barrels o
beer made in the United States is con
sumed in cities, and at least three
fourths of 1t by the population Of cite
themselves The brewing trade stats
Tics show that on an average ever,
man, woman and child in cities o
over $4,000 can safely be credited wit
drinking a barrel and two thirds .

Are disgrace TO flock of poultry,
and as it Is simple matter to rid a
flock of such an unsightly condition
there is little excuse for having a sin
gle bird long troubled that way. We
all know that this unsightly condition
is caused by a mite, too small to be
seen, which burrows beneath the
scales of the birds legs. When al
lowed to do this unmolested, the irri-
tation may increase until the birds
usefulness is entirely destroyed. Some
poultry writers give long directions,
washing the legs in warm water, care
fully drying, then applying kerosene or
some other dip or wash, with a feath-
er. etc, all of which no farmer ever
did or will do.
We found no difficulty in ending the
whole business by simply dipping the
affected legs into an old tin can Allied
sufficiently full OF kerosene, with a
little lard added, to cover the legs
up as far as to where the feathers
begin. A little care should be taken
not to go farther, or feathers may
come off and the skin be made sore
Even this slight danger may be doubly
prevented by rubbing a little OF the
lard into the edge OF the feathers be-

The Way to Pack Apples.

cool spot should. be selected for
packing apples. 1t does not necessarily
have to be in a shed; under the shade
OF the trees is just as good. An apple
hanging on a tree out in the sun is hot,
and if it is put into a barrel just as II
comes off the tree it is in much greater
danger of rotting. A barrel OF apples
generates heat, and it should be left
some time before it is put in cold stor-
age, writes an expert in answer to a
correspondent of the Country Gentle
man. Great care should be exercised in
packing apples. Some men inten-
tionaily-I wish that I might say 9TH
erwise-put the largest apples in the
ends of the barrel. This deceives the
buyer-once. When a buyer is unpack-
ing a barrel and finds large specimens
in the ends and only culls in the mid
die he loses his enthusiasm over what
he has bought. And he resolves not to
be 'stung" again. When YOU put the
wormy apples in the middle you are
throwing your bread down stream.
Put in only sound fruit. One bad
apple will contaminate whole barrel
full. And when you are throwing out
your soft or rotten apples, don't throw
them down in the orchard. II you can
not use them for your family, cart
them off to the hog lot. A decayed
apple has worms in it, very likely, and
will fill the ground with its kind. When
beginning to fill Darrell put in at
least two rows, or two layers, of apples
with the stems toward the end of the
barrel. This is where the grea test pres
sure and strain will be, against the
head of the barrel, and where the fruit
will be most easily damaged. The top
part. or stem end, of the apple is the
tougher. AS you fill the barrel shake
sidewise and jostling it slightly; this
BILE. An apple should not be able to
move the slightest bit, once the barrel
is headed.
Fill the barrel until the last layer
stands about one inch above the chine
of the barrel. This makes the pressure
about right on the apples when the
clamp is put on and the head pressed
down. Fruit that slews around in the
barrel during shipment starts just so
many more bad places. A bruise is an
invitation to an apple to decay. After
the barrels are filed do not pile them
in large masses until they are thor
oughIy cooled. The wind should blow
against the barrels, which watts away
the heat the apples radiate. Air should
circulate around each barrel. If it is
late in the fall. or the days are cool,
this care need not be exercised. Other
wise 1t should be. A little painstaking
this fall will be amply rewarded next
spring.

Early Frests and Corn.

s'Untimeiy severe frosts sometimes
damage the corn crop so that Its mar
ketable value Is considerably lowered,
but in this event, as in other cases,
the hog comes to the rescue" says CO.
burn in Swine in America Soft corn
is considered excellent for swine. and
especially for the young, in fact, many
breeders believe they can obtain bet
ter gains from soft corn than with the
sound, hard grain. In soft corn the
| maturing of the grain has been check
ed, thereby arrestinE the development
of the starch content or fat-producin9
element. When used it is advisable to
add, for finishing, some corn that is
we'll matrred. Immature corn that Is
frozen and even somewhat soured may
be fed to hogs, but il there is on hand
a greater quantity In that condition
than can be used on the farm before
warm weather sets in 1t should be dis
posed of while the weather is cold.
Ordinarily it may be used in cold
weather without danger. but 1t should
not be carried over into the warm sea-
son, as it will ferment and become I'M

Methods Of Milking.
The average observer is, perhaps, not
aware that there are more ways OF
milking than one. This remark is
meant to apply to hand milking: the
use of machines for milking is stin an
other matter. Every dairyfnan. es-
pecially those with large herds, knows
that the difference between skillful and
unskillful milking is one that will affect
his account book considerably in q
years time. An experiment to demon
strate the value of expert as against
inexpert milking was carried out 70
Gently at Ontario College. The mex
perienced mixer generally drew from
one to two pounds less at a days milk
ing than the careful operator.
Some COWS are of such a disposition
that no change of surroundings OF
mixers seems to affect them. Many
on the other hand. are extremely ner-
vous. Z The temperament of each COW
should be studied in order to get the
best results. Not SO very long age

Bishop Henry l.. Barclay of Portland
delivered the dedication ceremony,
which was listened to with great in

Co. will build down the Middle Fork

future, and that the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and Puget Sound Railway Co.
will build down the north fork of the

Orofino will be greatly benefited as
the mills will employ large number
