When apples are scarce II is very
important to conserve them to best
advantage. SO very many families
are without apples during most of
the winter. Often persons remark to
me that they had quite a lot of ap-
pies at gathering time. but they
wouldn't keep. Now why is this? We
know it is the business of a sound
apple to keep till it's cell structure is
broken down by over-ripening. I'M
less interfered with by an outside
agent. This agent may be a bruise.
a rotten apple or too great warmth.
Apples do not rot through pure GUS
sedness. The farmer will drive his
jolt wagon into the orchard and then
pick and pour into 1t apples of vari-
Gus varieties and every conceivable
grade of rottenness and soundness,
writes Joe A. Burton in Farmers Re-
view. When the box is full, all the
pickers sit on the apples while they
are driven to the place of deposit
The pickers are on the apples with
their feet while they scoop up with
both hands half dozen at a time
Charlevoix county herald., 1909-11-13

and roughly throw them into the bas-
ket. When the basket is full, it is
dragged across the apples on its way
to the bin. If there were any sound
apples they are probably bruised or
besmirched with rot and compelled to
lie against a rotten neighbor. No
wonder "our apples wouldn't keep"
If a few did try to keep. the children
dug them out first, trying to find
possible one to take to school.
The farmers apples belong to him
and he has just so many, whether
they are in one pile or four piles. If
he will properly sort them out he will
find one pile ought to go to the hogs
at once. another is good for. present
use in the house, another can be used
a little later and the sound ones kept
for winter. He ought to know that
rotten apple is already past useful
ness, a specked one will soon be rot
ten, as will also a sound one If asso-
ciated with a rotten one.

The buyer has many opportunities
and he is sure to discriminate against

duty of the apple grower to pack his
apples honestly. whether of high

moral consideration we will never
know because commercially we can
not take such risks.
Apples should be picked in medium
sized baskets and not bruised. This
means that they must be placed in
the baskets by hand and neither
dropped nor tossed. They should be
hauled in these same baskets on a
spring wagon to the packing stand.
Do not pour them in box there but
sort them from the basket The fol-
lowing is the procedure with us: a
basket of apples is placed on II
table directly in front of the sorter.
Around this is grouped four empty
baskets. There are four grades-No.
1, No. 2, culls and castaways, or as
we say, mill culls. These grade bas-
kets should always occupy the same
relative position so the sorter
through habit will place each grade.

Policinq Iondon's Streets.

There are fewer mounted men in
London in proportion to the force
than in New York, and it is no criti-
cism of the London police to say that
neither the men nor the mounts ap-
peared to me as good or attractive
looking as those we have nor are they
used as freely or as advantageously,
if ] may be permitted to say it, as in
New York.
1t requires vigilance and activity on
the part of the pedestrian to cross
London streets in safety. Indeed, in
many respects they are even more
dangerous than those of New York,
and to this condition the swarming
omnibuses contribute generously.
The taxicab is rapidly replacing the
hanson and the four-wheeled vehicle
is run through the crowded streets at
a comparatively high rate of speed,
and as there are a great number OF

SATISFIED WITH THEIR LOT
anese Men Form Colony at
Bellevue, Wash.

Mrs. Gunjiro Aoki, formerly Miss
Helen Emery and daughter of Arch
deacon John Emery of the Episcopal
church, in letter to friends has re-
newed her protestations of admira-
ton for her Oriental husband and
his race, and expressed as her unal-
terable determinations her intention to
raise their offspring in their present
home colony of Bellevue, Wash,
where the associations are such that
the child will not encounter the
thoughtless gibes of children of white
parents.
Ostracized by people of her own
race and practically an exile since
the discovery of her attachment for
her fathers Japanese house servant,
the former Helen Emery AYERS that
she has become reconciled to the
squalid surroundings of settlement
which is probably unique in the
world. Bellevue is colony composed
entirely of Japanese who have mar
ried white women, and within its bor-
ders the question of whether the Oc-
cidental and Oriental races can as
simulate is being answered by un-
mistakable evidence.
The last census gave the popula-
ton as q, but the advent of the
Aokis and others has doubled the
number of inhabitants. For be it
known that although the betrothal of
Miss Emery and Aoki was the event
of last season in Orio-Occidental So
cial circles there have been others.
For neighbors and friends Mrs. Aoki
has Mrs. Jimmie Tanasaki, formerly
daughter of John Potter, a wealthy
Washington farmer, in whose home
the daughters name is never men
toned; Mrs. Papa Haraguchi and
others.-San Francisco Chronicle.

INCREASE In
STOCK RAISING
Noteworthy Feature In Industry
Is Improvement of Breeds
In All Kinds of
Animals.

In the past several years American
cattle breeders have sent some OF their
firest blood to the Argentine Republic,
South America, and that country has
been rapidly improving its native
breeds with this better blood. The
American consul in Buenos Ayres
writes that the country is rapidly in
creasing it's cattle and regularly ex-
ports beef to English markets. In
1895 there were 21,791 Sic head of cat
tie there and in 1908 there were 49,
116.625 head. AS compared with other
countries Argentina ranks third in the
number of cattle. Russia, with 91,-
600 600 head, stands first. and the
United States follows with 69,000000
head.
A noteworthy feature in the stock
raising industry is the Improvement
of breeds OF all classes of animals. In
the last cattle census 1t was found
that "a per cent. of the entire num-
her were thoroughbreds. and 51.7 per
cent. were improved crossbreeds. 1t
was found that many fields that had
heretofore been sown to wheat were
now devoted to cattle raising on in
tensive principles Of the industry. The
value of the cattle OF Argentina is es-
timated at $92S,6S5.S34. Diseases of
cattle and other live stock have been
combated so successfully that the dis
eases are either stamped out or con-
fined to isolated cases and to small
territorial areas.
Considerable uneasiness has been
occasioned by the strict British s..

Much complaint is and always has

destruction is only apparent. for th1

is in blowing up the lawn and soil in
