New York Birds worth more than

bird OF paradise ever brought into this
country alive, and were captured by
A. e. Clark. noted hunter. who
risked his life among the cannibals
of Aru island. on the coast OF New
Guinea, to fulfill his commission.
To scientists the bird is known az

HINTS TO FRUIT GAMERS

Air is not the cause OF the spelling
OF canned fruits and vegetbles but
It is due to the plants known as
molds yeasts and bacteria, which are
floating in the air.
The loss Of canned fruits is due TO
yeasts and molds. These, together
with their seeds or spores. are easily
killed by one heating For this rea-
son the canning of fruits is relatively
simple.
The success of canning depends
upon the killing OF all yeasts, molds,
and bacteria, and their seeds or
spores. and also upon the sealing of
the sterilized food in cans or jars
that are germ-tight.
Bacteria are the cause of the spoil
ing of vegetables. These require
more heat to kill them. For home
canning vegetables should be heated
on three successive days to insure
their keeping.
A steam cooker is an ideal con
trivance for canning. There are
many kinds on the market. ranging
in price from three to seven dollars.
The ones opening with door on the
side are the most convenient for
sterilizing, and hold from twelve to
eighteen Jars at a time.
The kind OF Jar is an important
factor in the keeping of canned
goods. Glass is better than tin
Light does not cause the spelling OF
fruits or vegetables. Wide mouthed
Jars are easier filled and cleaned
Screw top or Mason jars should be
used for preserves or such fruits as
keep easily and one OF the more
modern vacuum or spring-top types
should be employed for the canning
OF vegetables.

PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET

The fact that eastern cities have
been flooded with fruits from the far
west marks a change in the methods
OF marketing. In order to reach the
eastern markets tie western grow
ers are compelled to produce SUI
pericr fruit This necessity has led
to a nigh development of the art of
fruit growing in all OF It's branches.
Nowhere are orchards better cult
and Tacking have received even
more attention The apple barrel is
almost unknown, the box being the
universal package for apples, pears
and caches. The fruit is rgidly
graded for size and sometimes for
color, and in many instances each
fruit is wrapped in tissue paper.
This attention to detail has been
made possible only by organized ef.
fort, and at the present time nearly
every shipping point supports at
least one cooperative shipping asso-
citation.
Eastern growers may well adopt
some OF these methods. In fact, a
good beginning in this direction is
being made in several localities in
Ohio. Cultural methods are receiy-
ing more attention than ever before,
box packages are being introduced
and at least two cooperative ship
ping associations are now in success
| ful operation.
This movement Is bound to grow
rapidly In the near future and when
a majority of our growers learn to
produce hrstclass fruit and TO grade
honestly and pack carefully in at
tractlys packages, Ohio will also be
come noted for les many valuable or
chards as we'll as for Its wealthy

Fslse Economy.
In a second cooking Of meat we
should do one of two things II the
meat is already well cooked and ten
der. We SHOULD merely warm it up
and guard against overcoobdng
which renders IT less digesuUle and
less palutdblc. If the meat is under
cooked and tough # will be more

follow. The housewife must learn to

fifty cents and m hours time in or.
der TO save five cents worth OF left
over meat The result should always
prove worth the time and the extra
materials bought.
Meat which has been cooked has
lost a part of its flavor. therefore In
the second cooking we must do some
thing to supply the lost flavor. For
this reason We season leftover
dishes moro highly; sometimes we
add lemon juice. onion juice or TO.
mato juice to give an added flavor.

Handling stripped Tobacco.

The ouener tobacco Is handled the
better the quality and distribution OF
moisture throughout the mass.
Practical tobacco growers bulk
down after stripping, and box the to-
bacco after It is allowed TO cure in
bulk for some time. After each days
stripping. every hand should be shak-
on out. before kneeing on the bulk.
Too many growers pride them
selves on how quickly they can
transfer tobacco from the bulk to the
boxes ready for the market The
lack OF proper shaking out and pack
ing Of the tobacco accounts for its
bad appearance and poor condition
at the time Of inspection by the
buyer
When transferring tobacco from
the bulk TO boxes on a casing day.
every hand should be shaken ont be-
fore repacking This will distribute
the moisture, or case more evenly,
and put the tobacco in proper shape
for packing.
Care must be- taken TO keep the
middle full and firm while packing.
A loose. open middle will allow the
hot air or gas from fermentation TO
pass upward, the result being spoiled
tobacco through the poruons Of the
box whore the air has escaped II
the box is packed properly the hot
air should escape through the butts
Of the hands. thus insuring wide dis
