sank to the ground Jake Nelson,
who was probably one hundred yards
away, ran to his assistance and it was
largely due to his presence of mind
that Dave is still among the living, for

Most prosperous Of all years is

puts it. The value Of farm products

100000 over the preceding year. N
p OF great popular interest are the
results Of unique investigation con-

paid by the retailers, averaged 3S

The lower the grade of beef the
greater was the percentage of gross

In the upward movement OF beef

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 30.-The rail

that the public is an interested but
unrepresented third party in the con-
troversy with the switchmen through
out the west committee Of which
has been conducting their negot1a-

of the public, the following facts in
connection with the negotiations.
+ The switchmen in the northwest
territory make simultaneous de-
mands on thirteen railroad companies

crease in wages and certain changes
iu service conditions. At the sug'
gestion of Mr.. W. r. Hawley, presi-
dent of the Switchmen's Union OF
North America, of whose organization
the switchmen when in the northwest
are members, arrangements were
made to conduct the negotiations In
one conference. In the conference
the railroads were represented by a
committee of ten managers and the
switchmen by Mr.. F. L. HaWley and
by~other officers of Switchmen's Un'
ion of North America The demands
of the switchmen were for double
pay for Sundays, holidays and over
time, an advance of sixty cents per
day of ten hours in the wages OF
switchmen, switch tenders, toWermen
engine herders, and assistant yard
masters, a modification Of the rule
providing for the payment of penalty
in case of failure to permit the
switchmen to secure their meal IN
the middle of their shift at stated
period, which contemplates double
pay in cases where it became neces:
sary to work portion of the meal

steal examination and the age limit
placed upon switchmen entering the
service. Five conferences were held
at st. Paul, in which the swltchmen
in no detail receded from their de,
mands, which if conceded would
have entailed nadditional expense
upon the railroads for switching OF
from 40 to As per cent. The mana

PUT THE BARREL ASIDE.
Small Packages for apples-Old
Fashioned Barrel Being Discarded
Cor SOuarc Compact Box.

There has been much discussion
among apple packers as to where it IS
profitable to use a smaller package
than barrels in which to pack apples.
The points made against the use Of
the box are: The smaller package
can receive roughter handling in ship
ping, as the t~hree-bushel barrel can
not be pitched around; three boxes
holding the same quantity Of fruit as
a barrel Will cost more than the latter
package; the packages Will be placed
closer together in storage, preventing
as free circulation of air.
The points in favor Of the boxes are
summed up: The box timber can be
bought in the flat and no expert me-
chanic will be required to make up
the packages, whereas high-priced
skilled labor is needed to make up the
barrels.
Boxes can be exported more cheaply,
owing to the fact that a in stor-
age departments OF is sold by
the cubic foot, and the boxes car be
placed more cOmDactly.
When the fruit rs placed in storage
the fruit in the middle Of the package
will be more readily reached by the
cold air. and the entire package will
reach the lower temperature much
sooner with the smaller package.
In using the smaller package there
will be no temptation to put inferior
fruit in the middle of the package, as
there often is when packing a barrel
of apples.
The chief argument in favor of the
box is that the fruit Would reach the
consumer in better condition.. and the
consumption would be greatly in
creased.
The last point is one Of the strongest
in favor of the use Of the box. If the
knows he is getting just
what he wants he will be willing to
buy a bushel Of fruit, where now he
buys perhaps a dozen apples. There
will unou~estionably be greater care
exercised in packing a bushel box
than III packing a t~hree-bushel barrel.
The fruit will be better and will
have the confidence of the consumers.
Under the present method Of packing
apples in barrels few city people are
able to buy the fruit in the original
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1909-09-28

packages. The barrel is an unwieldly
package and is hard to handle. 1t
must be delivered by an express
wagon, whereas a small box of apples
can be taken home on the street car.
if need be.
Few families car take a barrel Of
apples from cold storage and use the
entire three bushels. without consid-
cradle loss, even though the contents
OF the barrel are first class when taken
from h storage.
IT IS we'll known that when fruit is
taken from storage in midvinter and
kept IN a warm pantry or cellar it
rlpens very rapidly.
Few families can use the contents
of a three-bushel barrel before some
Of the fruit has decayed. In the case
of the box the bushel can be used up
before there is any loss. and there
VIII be g demand for more.
The largest possible package which
can be used to get the fruit from the
grower to the consumer, without the
package ever having been opened. is
the ideal package.
The bushel box, therefore. would
seem about the extreme limit in size.
ana It may be the time will come when
fancy apples will be packed in small
paskets, Nnllar to the eight-pound
grape basket.
And when that time comes the con-
sumption Of apples Will be multiplied
many times.
Get the consumer to trust the brand
OF a certain grower and packer. and
let nm know the package he buns is
the original one in which the fruit left
the farm. and he Will not hesitate 10
pay a good price for the fruit.

The Original Vance Homestead

at a glance that it was not the house
in which Vance was born. The gen
tleman now living in the house Ca Mr.
Fox Informed us that some fifteen
years ago the Ole building became so
dilapidated that it was necessary to
pull it down when the present mod
ern structure was substituted. While
We were regretting the loss Of the
old original, historic structure as a
menentO of the late Senator Vance.
Miss Kittie Fox, a very attractive,
educated young lady Of eighteen sum
mers, seeing u regrets, came to our
relief somewhat by informing us that
she had a photograph of the old
building taken when she was quite
a small girl. Upon the production
of her photograph We saw at once
that it was a true picture of the orig
inal Vance log house. Miss Fox
kindly loaned US her photograph,
copied and which appears in this is
sue of The Citizen. It is a source Of
regret that the original house has
not been preserved as a memenrU
for future generations, but SO it is,
and all that remain of the original
structure is the immense old brick
chimney which is left sanding. When
the dc house was pulled down the
chimney was left standing, and when
the new house was erected it was
attached to the old chimney. The
chimney certainly is a curiosity Of an
cient architecture, the flreplaceS be-
ing at least ten feet from jam to jam
It was said by some one, in explaining
the utility of having the hreplaces SO
wide tina they could build a fire IN
one side and sit in the other side
and keep warm.
I do not know upon what repre-
sentation the author of the Life OF
Vance was misled into making the
statement that "a photograph of the
old mansion was aiken and which is
presented to the reader' but L DO
know that the photograph Of the
house appearing in the Life OF
Vance is not the picture Of the house
IN which Vance was born, and for
the purpose of correcting that mis-
take is why 1 offer this statement to
the public. There was u photograph
of the old house taken but that pho
tograph is not the one appearing IN
the life of Vance' but the photo
graph appearing in this issue Of The
