Fondness for Fine Clothes

A young nobleman who died some
time ago was found to possess a ward
robe so vast that if he had worn each
garment only once he must have
spent his whole day in changing Let
us be thankful that God took this dear
brother before the blight of the tail
ors' strike descended upon him. He
could never have survived its priva-
tons. And yet this mania for buying
clothes is not necessarily a mark of
effeminacy. In fact, If we go back
into history we find that it has often
accompanied an exceptional valor and
courage. The cavaliers of England
under Charles l. were tremendous
fighters, but how they did love to dec
crate themselves and perfume them
selves. Wallenstein's men in Germany
were veritable fre-eaters. but how
beautiful they were to look at. Never
woman thought more of laces and
furbelows, of scents and ribbons. And

A WINDMILL CLOTHES DRYER.

The model from which the clothes
dryer shown in Fig. l was patterned
has been in use for a number of years,
and except when not breath of air is
stirring, its little feet OF yachts, whose
sails form the paddles of the wind
mill, sail around the circular course
continuously. The best feature of this
windmill is it's combination with the
clothes dryer, which makes it practi-

for 2 support, otherwise, you will have
to put up a post. A two-by-four will

COLD STORAGE: FUR APPLES
Problem Of Congestion of Transporta
ton Ray Be Solved by Erection
of Large Warehouses.
tBy r. E RUSHING

During three or four months in the
fall there has, of late years, been an
unusual congestion of farm products,
due largely to the shipments of re-
Gently harvested crops, in addition to
the regular traffic.
In the winter the problem becomes
easier and such things as can be kept
without loss had better be kept, es-
pecially if the price seems to be lit
tie low.
The winter apple is about the only
fruit that lends itself readily to stor
age for any consid cradle length of
time and, in fact. it is about the only
fruit kept in commercial storage.
| believe that where fruit is grown
on commercial scale the problem of
congested transportation must be met
in the very near future by the con
struction of large cold storage ware
houses at all the principal slipping
points
When apples are being sorted for
storage, the following points should
always be borne III mind Only the
hest grade should be placed in stor-
age and they should be stored as soon
as possible after being picked or gath
cred.
A uniform temperature Of 81 to 30
degrees F. is best and they should be
placed on the market as soon as they
reach their highest maturity, or lit
tie before. provided the price is SUI.
ficient to warrant selling
The quality of the fruit is main
tanned much better in storage when
the fruit is wrapped with thin paper
and will usually always sell for enough
to pay expenses and little left
1t is also true that the develop
nent of the fungi producing apple
rots is checked to a great extent by
storage. Freedom from such troubles,
however, is SO dependent upon the
carefulness in handling the fruit dur
ing the picking and packing, that the
better orchardists will always be Blu,
little troubled with losses through
these causes.
Also, indirectly, cold storage tends
to promote a higher order of orchard
ing by teaching the grower better Sc
lection; better methods of culture;
more skill in the art of handling and
marketing his crop, all of which tend
to make for the grower more money
and higher knowledge of the business.

ing the arms as shown in Fig 2. Fas-
then connect nails, E, on each opposite
pair Of arms with the wire brace, F
Zig. 81. These wires should be cut
about one foot longer than the dis
lance between the nails and be twisted
back on themselves at one end, as
shown in Figs. ard 4 then a nail can
be slipped through one of the loops and
be used as lever to twist the wire to
take up the slack, in adjusting the arm
ends to the proper heights. The dis
tances between the arm ends should be
carefully measured, and the arms shift
ed from side to side until these are
all the same; then the lower ends
should be fastened securely with a
second bolt or screw.
The hulls of the little yachts need
not be as perfectly made as would be
necessary for sailing in water, because
these yachts depend entirely upon
their sails; however, for the sake of
appearance, it is well 70 make them
as shapely as possible. They can be
cut out quickly. Fig. shows a top
view Of the null with the dimensions
marked upon it, Make the bottom fat
enough to provide a mailing surface
for fastening the yachts to the blocks,
c. Cut the mast, G, and the boom, H,
about the length of the hull, and the
gait, I, about seven inches long, and
fasten wire loops to the ends of both
the boom and the gait, as shown IN
Fig. Z, to fit over the mast A brad
driven through the mast, just below the
proper heights for the boom and gaff,
will prevent the loops from sliding
down the mast Use heavy muslin for
the sails, and fasten them to the mast,
boom and gait sticks with heavy linen
thread. Brace the mast as shown, and
fasten small pennant to the mast
head.
The peg, ] Figs. 5 and 81, is neces-
sary to prevent the boom from swing
ing over the port side of the yacht
BY this arrangement, the yachts will
always sail counter clockwise, no mat
ter which way the wind is blowing
provided you mount the yachts with
their bows headed in this direction.
Pivot the base block, B, to the post
support with a five-eighths-inch bolt
about inches long Bore a five
eighths-inch hole into the top Of the
post to receive the end of the bolt,
and in mounting the base block place
several washers between it and the
post. Screw one-half-inch screw-eyes
into the ends Of blocks, G (M). and
also into each of the arms at n and
o, as shown in Fig 8, to slip clothes
lines through. 1t is not necessary to
cut a clothes-line into pieces, for after
running it through one row of screw
eyes, it may be run down to the next
row below, and so on through all the
eyes.
