Apples In Boxes.

This subject would be threadbare with all the discussion it has had of late were it not for the urgency of the q satisfactory package, especially to the shipper of good apples, and in spite of obstacles the apple box Is making progress. A larger proportion of last years apple crop was sold in boxes than eyer before. These facts came most painfully to the attention of east ern apple growers when all through boxes sold at good prices in all east ern cities, while New York and New England fruit was a drug in the mar ket It was situation which could leave no doubt in the eastern apple growers mind that something has to be done. Naturally the eastern grower, who sees his market thus cut out from under him. thinks first of boxing his own apples. He considers also the fancy packing, trademarking and oth- CT selling devices at which the west ern men are so clever. All these schemes he must adopt, initiate or improve. But there is one thing more, and very important one. which must be taken into the account. The east ern grower must grow better fruit. Eastern apples are conceded to be of better quality than Pacific coast stock, but the eastern grower has relied quite too much on this single fact. The western apples are allowed to have the best color and finish, but again the eastern grower has taken this esti- mate too much for granted. The high quality of New York and New Eng land apples must be preserved, aug mented and then advertised. The fruit must be carefully hand thinned on the trees in order to get a uniform grade for box packing. The color and ap- pearance must be improved by better care. Western methods of cooperative packing, shipping and selling must be adopted. These are large reforms here pointed out, and the eastern fqrm- CT is a hard subject for reform, but these Improvements have all got to be made. Otherwise the Oregon apple
 grower will appropriate the entire east
 arn market. and the eastern apple grow CTS will go into the milk business.

LOOK AFTER YOUR FENCES
Woven Wire For IneIosurs the Latest
 and Best.

Woven Wire For IneIosurs the Latsse
 and Best.
 The matter of farm fences is one of the principal improvements of the farm. A farm without good fences never is valued very highly, even though the fields be clean and fertile On a great many farms the fence proposition is always serious one with the owner. Too many farmers. are indifferent regarding the keeping of their fences in repair. There isl usually plenty of work to be done on the farm fences. They are continually getting out of repair, and unless looked after they get into bad order and en-- tice the live stock to cross them. The matter of farm fences has already gone through considerable evolution in- the last ten years. Very seldom does one ever see the old rail fence, com. monly termed the worm fence" The rail fence is fast becoming obsolete even fin the timber districts. They never were thing of beauty. but their construction lent a quaintness to- many homesteads. Another fence that. Is passing rapidly is the hedgerow. A hedge fence when properly cared for Is one of the beautifying acquisitions of a we'll kept farm. When it is not properly trimmed and cared for it ls. an eyesore. Hedge has grown unpop- ular on account of the large amount of work required to keep 1t in proper con- dition and also on account of its draw ing the soil fertility from the ground for a considerable distance where. planted.
 Barbed wire Is also another thing that is meeting with disfavor with the most progressive farmers. It is very cheap and durable fence, but if 1t Is not kept in perfect condition it is the. most dangerous thing about the farm especially where live stock is kept. On a great many farms barbed wire fences have cost the owner many times more than what 1t cost to construct them in the damage done to live stock Many a valuable colt or horse has been rendered practically worthless by 1t. The damage done to cattle has not been so great, but there are instances where many valuable dairy cows have had their uddcrs practically ruined by barbed wire.
 The coming fence-in fact it Is al- ready hcre--is the woven wire. Ih has everything to commend it. It is slightly when properly put up and dues' not permit of grassy or weedy fence corners. Wire fences take up very lit tie land and permit very high de- gree of farming. Crops will grow right up by the side of 1t, and the keeping of the fence rows clean Is little labor Bad fences are often responsible for bad feeling between ncighbors. Woven wire fences are the easiest of all fences to keep in repair. If they are, put up right they are nearly always in- good condition. A little attention paid to them once in awhile Is all that Is necessary to keep them in first class order. The best way to maintain a woven wire fence is to have a barbed wire stretched on top the posts. This prevents the stock, especially horses. from throwing their heads over the fence or breaking down the wire.
