PRODUCE FOR MARKET
Several important Points In
Proper Preparation.
Farmer Never Loses by Honestly
Packed Farm Truck-Each Pack
age Should Be Filled With the
Same Grade Throughout.
(By s. B. SHAWL

Packing is equally as important as
any OF the other operations involved
In the preparation of fruits and yege-
tables for market. There are several
Important points in connection With
this work worthy of consideration,
probably the most important of which
Is honesty. Every growers pack
should be as good as his bond" Gus
toners want honestly packed goods
and they are usually willing to pay
good prices for them, A grower never
loses by placing honestly packed pro-
duce on any market, be 1t at home or
abroad.
Each package should be filled with
the same grade throughout. II this
is done the top may be faced" Fac
ing Is the arrangement of from one
to three layers of fruit on the top, thus
increasing the attractiveness of the
package. This is an honest and per
fectly legitimate practice provided the
entire contents are fruits Of the same
grade as those placed on top. Sec
onds" and inferior grades should
never be faced" with prime" speci

Fiavors That May Be Added

The full value of butter. both as an
appetizer. as q nourishing article OF
diet. as a seasoning and as garnish-
Butter is really one OF the most valu-
able foods in the larder 1t Ia not
merely to spread chunkily on bread
although it is good enough there; 1t
should be made an interesting part
OF the meals at which it is served.
In middle class French families the
real value of butter is better under
stood than 1t is here Every morning
the butter is left at the door, just as
the milk is; and 1t is fresh creamery
butter. too, for the most part-always
fresh instead of salt. The butter il
then chilled and shaved into wafer
like strips for breakfast, to be eaten
with the rolls that form the body of
this meal At luncheon butter is fire.
Quently served-always daintily-with
bread and radishes, or some other
side dish, as an appetizer. Then, eat
en- slowly. it's goodness can be appre-
ciated.
molds is a burden. try making them
only once In three days. Keep them
In bowl of ice water in the refriger-
ator and they will retain their shape
! even In the warmest weather 1t does
sometimes seem troublesome for maid
or mistress to have to spend five or
ten minutes before each meal making
butter pats; but fifteen minutes once
In two or three days will be enough
for the making of many molds, since
the utensils and materials need only
be got out once. and since certain
dizziness comes with repeated making
and the second score of butter balls
can be made in half the time 1t took
to make the first score.
The small wooden moltfs are easier
to manage than paddles. and surely
prints of butter from the molds look
and taste as well as balls OF butter
formed with the paddles. To manage
the molds, wash them in ice water
and then stamp the butter out care
fully, taking care to push the bottom
Of the mold as far out as possible be
fore removing the print. The butter
should be cold when it is printed.
Horseradish butter is good with
cold meats and it is also delicious tc

The following replies to queries re.
garding poultry, which are self-explan>
atory, will be found of much interest:
E. D. CA hen that is fat will not
starve until the stores of fat on her
body are utilized, as this reserve Of
warmth is just 30 much carbonaceous
food in the form Of fat
H. Dive believe the cause of the
poor laying of your flocks is the alb
sence of green food and meat scraps
from the ration. Hens need both.
N. A. T.-Clover hay and green cut
bone are excellent egg producers.
Green bone should not be fed oftener
than three times a week, and then
only pound allowed for every sixteen
head of stock.
]. L. O.-When 1t can be had, milk
is an excellent article of food for
broilers or any chicks, but milk Is not
absolutely necessary.
G. T.-Clover hay is mainly intend.
ed for winter feeding, to take the
place Of green food during the cold
months. But where green food is
equally scarce In the summer 1t Is best
to feed 1t the year round. 1t can be
scalded or cooked, and mixed with
bran, cornmeal, middlings and ground
oats.
G. L. W.--Vegetables can be fec
either cooked or raw; in the latter
case they are not SO fattening.
NJ. A. S.-Blood is excellent for lay
ing hens, but do not feed more thar
ten per cent. at feeding.

The amount of silage required and

be quite closely calculated, provided
the number and kind of animals tc

An average COW or beef ANNA

which silage is used in this latitude

S5 pounds per day, but this has beer
found fair average.
In silo of ordinary depth, the
average weight of the silage Is about
40 pounds per cubic foot. Near the
top of the silo, however, where the
pressure is not great, 1t will weigh
only 25 pounds per cubic foot, while

weigh 60 pounds. Taking these aver
ages, if COW eats 35 pounds Of en-

Awnings for Hen Houses.

1t is good plan to have awnings

to go over the windows of the hen
house in summer to keep out the
sun, and thus keep the house much

have those awnings up during the
winter. as the sunlight is needed In
