HANDLING THE APPLE CROPS
First-Ciass Fruit Must Be Carefully
Picked and Assorted - Good
Method of Packing.
(By R. M. BATES.)

Wy H. Ih OkA ILh0'I
Apples that are to be sold for hrst
class fruit must be handled in care
tul manner while being picked ana
then laid in piles on the ground where
the sun cannot reach them, or hauled
to the barn for a few days and left IN
piles to permit some of the moisture
10 eVaporate and the skin to become
toughened, in which condition the
fruit will stand up better while 1t IS
on the way to market and keep longer
when packed than it will when put
into packages as fast as it is picked
from the tree.
For facing, select smooth, finely
colored fruit little better than the
average and place one row stems down.
after which the barrel may be hlled
using nothing but sound perfect fruit,
rejecting all wormy, bruised, knotty
or smallsiZed specimens; shake the
barrel occasionally while it is being
filed, level it up little above the top
of the slaves (about half an 1ncn),
press down the head with an apple
press or screw and nail the hoops. Art
er this change ends with the barrel
and mark the name of the variety on
the face end Some prefer to have
the fruit double faced, but as a rule
the best class of fruit shows up to bet
ter advantage when faced with but a
single row.
1t Is essential that the barrel be
shaken number of times while
it is being filed for the fruit will pack
closer, and there will be less danger
Of its being crushed or bruised when
it is pressed down to place the head
in the barrel There will also be less
danger of it's becoming loose or shaky
in the barrel while in storage or on
the road to market. The ordinary
sized apple barrel is the one that
gives the best satisfaction in the lead
ing markets.
Another matter that should have
attention is the tendency to use highly
colored fruit from certain trees for
facing and packing the middle OF the
barrel with poorly colored fruit. This
unwise practise is being followed in
many apple-growing sections, some
growers even going to the extreme
of buying apples for facing purposes.
Whatever form or style Of package Is
selected the time is past when grow
ers can palm off short measures on
the buyers.

Iener in New York.

New York.-A negro woman with
an advanced case of leprosy has been
living in New York for more than
seven years, associating with people
of her own race. The nature of her
ailment did not become known until
recently when she applied at Belle
vue hospital for treatment.
The woman told the physicians that
she had come to New York from the
West Indies more than seven years
ago, and was sick then. She had been
married only a short time, she said,
when her husband deserted her.
According to her story, she was

This season I have remarked that

English women, and indeed the
Parisiennes join hands with them in
this particular, never tire of navy bIue

all occasions and frequently in con-

fancy of the exclusive Parisienne is
the rather severe navy blue serge or

hat loaded with feathers or aigrettes.

FOSSILS and Gold.

Nome. Alaska-In Alaska the bones,
and often the entire bodies, of ex.
tinct animals, such as the mammoth,
the mastodon, the reindeer and the
bison, are found most abundantly in
layers of soil directly above bold bear
inc gravels. So intimate is this asso-
citation between fossil animal remains
and auriferous deposits that one
scientist, who has lately explored
Alaska, says fossils serve prospectors
as indexes of the metallic richness of
the soil.
In ancient times both the gold and
the bones and bodies of the animals
we're deposited at the bottoms of val
Ieys by action of rivers and smaller
streams, many of which have now dis
appeared Consequently the appear
ance of fossils is, it is claimed, an
almost certain indication that gold

Woman Killed by Gum.

Seaside, Ore.-After suffering six
weeks with piece of chewing gum
lodged in her lungs, Mrs. Della M. Kit
terman, wife of Alexander Kitterman.
died at the Seaside sanitarium.
One night Mrs. Kitterman retired
without thinking to remove the piece
of gum she had ben chewing to re-
lieye a dryness in her throat. She
awoke in the middle of the night gasp
ing for breath.
Mr.. Kitterman did everything with
in his power to aid his wife, but met
with no success. A doctor was sum-
moned and sent her to the sanitarium.
where every known remedy was used
for six weeks to force the gum out
of her lungs. Mrs. Kitterman finally
coughed up the gum and hopes were
held out for her recovery. but she was
too weak to recover.

History of Red Gross Seal.

Charity stamps first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year.
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,000 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "a Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
in 1910"

IN THE POULTRY YARD.

Keep up the fight against lice.
Dust the hens frequently with in
sect powder, especially the hen that
has brood of chicks.
Cold rains will kill the chicks See
that they are under shelter whenever
a storm occurs.
Feed your fowls in such a way that
they will get exercise in obtaining it..
Exercise increases the appetite, aids
digestion and promotes healthy con-
dition generally.
Bits of meat carried out with brine
from the barrel and left on the ground
will give hens serious bowel trouble
Don't risk it.

Time for Pruning.

Currants and gooseberries may be
pruned as soon as the leaves fall; or
the work may be left until early
spring. Cut back one-third of this
years growth, and thin out surplus,
diseased or unthrifty shoots. Old
bushes may have two-thirds of the
present years growth removed. Do
not prune the new canes of raspber-
ries and blackberries until spring; the
old canes should have been cut out
long ago. 1t is too early to pruneI
grapevines.

Like the Other Kind.

It was in down east" village that
the young man met his sweetheart, a
charming country beauty. When he
returned to the city he sent her a jar
of cold cream to keep her cheeks as
fresh as the budding rose.
On his next visit he asked her how
she liked his little gift.
"The taste was very NICE" she
said, with rather sickly smile, 'but
I think that l like the other kind of
cream best. dear. "-Lippincott's.

Chicken-EatinQ Hogs.

A stock raiser says that he has
found that a chicken-eating hog may
be cured by feeding it well-balanced
ration. Digested tankage, containing
animal ingredients, will satisfy the
hogs appetite for animal food, and
hence will cure it of eating chickens.
From the fact that hog catches and
eats chickens shows that the animal
is not securing variety of feeds.

Coops for Chicks.

It is better, if the flock be large, to
have summer coops or houses away
from the main buildings, rather than
to have the winter quarters crowded,
filthy or full of vermin.
1t does not pay to crowd either
chickens or hens. A few more nests
and roosts often mean many more
eggs.

Roosts for bullets

Do not allow the pullets to roost in
the coops where they were raised. The
cooler the weather gets the worse they
will crowd. They will suffer from the
heat, and when let out these cool
mornings are apt to take cold, and
roup is the next thing on the program.
The pullets expected to lay this month
should be roosting in a comfortable
house at this time.

THE FARM HORSE.

Individual excellence is better than
lengthy pedigree.
Viciousness in horse is usually
due to training or association.
Furnishing horse for things he can
not help is one way of running him.
The horse weighing about 1,40G
pounds is spoken of as the handy
weight"
If the horse must be kept in the
barn during hot weather, keep all the
doors and windows wide open.
A team that works in the field all
week should never be put on the road

NeoIectlno MIX Pail.

Some farmers leave pals of milk
sitting around on the cold ground, or
hang them up some place while they
do the chores, and then blame the
cream separator and it's maker be-
cause the machine can not separate
as much cream from chilled milk as
from milk separated as near animal
heat as possible.

Regularity In Feeding.

when there is plenty of grass, little

other grain fed each day, will keep the
