that when he goes to the barn on
Monday morning to milk the cows he
kisses us all goodbye, and he doesn't

why does it take him so long,"

COLD STORAGE FOR APPLES
Problem Of Congestion Of Trarsporta.

Of Large Warehouses.
(By Il. 3. RrSHINGN


During three or four months In the
rail- 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 KEEP,
without loss had better be kept, es-
pecially If the price seems to be a lit
tie low.
The winter apple is about the only
fruit that lends itself readily to stor-
age for any considerable length Of

fruit kept in commercial storage.
believe that where fruit is grown
on a commercial scale the problem of
congested transportation must be met
in the very near future by the con-
st-uction of large cold storage ware
houses at all the principal shipping
points.
When apples are being sorted for
storage, the following points should
always be borne in mind Only the
best grade should be placed in stor-
age and they should be stored as soon
as possible after being picked or gath
cred.
uniform temperature CT 81 to 81
degrees +. is best and they should be
placed on the market as soon az they
reach their highest maturity. CT lit
tie before, provided the Price is suf-
hcient 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 fo- enough
TO pay expenses and little left.
1t is also true that the develop
ment Of the fungi producing apple
rots is checked to great extent by
storage. Freedom from euch 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 bun
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

more skill in the art Of handling anC
marketing his crop. all Of which tent

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency OF advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
spcnsible for the constipated condition
OF most elderly people. The wear OF
years impairs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by Dr. w. b. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send a trial bottle, free of charge
to all who write for it. Address Dr.
