Poorly Packed Potatoes and Cabbage
Packed Too Loosely.

mems. There is neither cash or
character in this practice" A few sec
onds or culls scattered in with lot
of fancy specimens gives the buyer
an opportunity to discriminate against
the whole package and ruins the rep,
utation of the grower as an honest
packer.
Produce should be cool and dry be-
fore being packed. Heat and moisture
promote decay. Conditions of this
kind should be guarded against, for
decay means loss. Allow all fruit and
vegetables to cool in the packing
house, and have them dry before pack
ing. They will keep longer and pre-
sent q better appearance at the time
of sale if handled IN this way. So
much of the success in marketing
farm products depends upon the pack
ing, that growers cannot be too par
ticuiar in seeing that this work is
done in such a way as to show their
produce to best advantage when put
on sale. While it is of the utmost i'm
portance that each package be filled
with the same grade throughout, it is
equally as important that it be done
carefully. With the softer varieties of
fruit and vegetables, such as peaches,
plums, tomatoes and egg plant, that
are usually put in small packages,
each specimen should be placed by
hand. This not only makes the pack
more attractive, but it lessons the liza
bility of damages resulting from
bruises. Produce of a firm nature, as
apples, potatoes, ETC., will not bruise
SO readily, and as result it is not
SO necessary to handle each individual

More Money From Income Tax.

The amount of money to be re.

of the income tax law for the second
year will show a large increase, and
there will be a notable increase, per

of local assessments. This fact is

Awnings for Hen Houses.

It is a good plan to have awnings
or hoods of cheap muslin or boards
to go over the windows of the hen
house in summer to keep out the
sun, and thus keep the house much
cooler But it is not advisable to
have those awnings up during the
winter, as the sunlight is needed in
the houses to purify them.
