Many Uses Found For This Type Of
Motor Driven Vehicle.
Although the ordinary tonneau type
Of automobile is rapidly coming into
general use on the farm and has proved
its value for service as well as pleas
ure, there is one form Of recent de-
velopment, the auto truck, that has
not received from farmers the atten-
ton It deserves, says the Farm and
Ranch. This form Of car is rapidly
earning a place for itself in the cities
as a general delivery and hauling
wagon and is destined to become as
widely and favorably known on the

pose car and has many advantages

use.

HOW COLD STORAGE PAYS.
Common Sense Applied to Treatment
of Farm Products.

Under ordinary circumstances your
crop must be sold as It natures. and
since Mr.. Smiths plums are sure to
get ripe the same week as your own
the market Is going to be oversupplied.
and as a result prices will be low.
Just here is where the cold storage
proposition comes In. BY storing fruit
for the market when you GO early the
next morning, or IL picked green
enough It may be kept for weeks or
even months. In more instances than
n prices have doubled and even
tripled from the time stuff was put
into the cooler and when 1t vas finally
taken out TO be sold. Take an actual
example. Bartlett pears were selling
at 80 cents a basket. and, having just
picked about a hundred baskets, we
were reluctant to part with them at
that price. They were still fairly
green, but nevertheless fully grown.
1t was no trouble at all to store them
away in the cooler and forget them
for FIVE or six weeks, then sell them
for high prices.
1t is invariably safe to bank on m
thing. which is that people will a
a thing when they can't get II. They
want plums before they are ripe or
after they are gone. We cannot raise
suitable varieties early enough to suit
them, but we car keep what we do
raise in the cooler.
The maintenance Of a cooler Is not
much Of an expense. There are ponds
or lakes near every farm, and the ice
may be drawn to a nearby icehouse.
The hay and the fee crops seldom in.
terfere. The horses will need a few
days exercise, and the men are not
usually overburdened with work.
Where ice is hard to get a r%efrigera-
ton plant is sometimes less expensive.
How much easier 1t Is to sell a
bushel Of peas after they have had a
nights refreshing rest In the cooler!
The dew oozes out all over them, and
their crisp, fresh appearance counts
double. Think Of what a sad time
poor 81 Smith is having with all those
peas he picked two days ago and did
not take to market because 1t rained.
Be up to date. Build a cooler. It's
a money saving and a money making
proposition. Try 1t and be convinced.
1t will prove not only worth while,
but indispensable.-R. w. A. in Coun-
try Gentleman.

USE OF ORCHARD HEATERS.

Coming to Be Regarded as a Necessity
In All Sections.
The manufacturers Of oil heaters
have been afforded a great boom for
their business by the success which a
few commercial growers report in saw
ing their fruit crops by their use from
destruction during hard frosts, says
the Farm Progress.
The most notable illustration Of their
value was demonstrated In the extern
sive orchards of a grower in Iowa, who
harvested an unusually heavy and fine
crop Of apples, for which he fought
sleet storms and severe freezes for
nine successive days In the spring and
saved the fruit at an expense-for
equipment, Oil and labor-of Z cents
per bushel, which at the present price
Of apples gave him after deducting
subsequent expenses a good margin
Of profit.
The heaters are of the simplest con.
struction, made Of sheet iron and so
covered that water from rain or snow
cannot put out the flame. Each holds
from one to six quarts Of oil. and
from so to 100 are required for each
acre of orchard. The price of the best
oil heaters ranges from $120 to $3.50
per thousand
They are largely used in certain Sec
lions of California for the protection
Of the orange crops. and also in the
melon growing districts Of Colorado,
and will nc doubt come In time to be
considered a convenience, II not a ne
cessity. by fruit growers and garden
ers In all sections Of the country.
