Neglected Home Markets.

There has been a great tendency
of our fruit growers to neglect the
local markets, by supplying them
with the inferior qualities of fruits
such as have been culled from the
goods that are considered shipping
stock because of this the local dis
tributor and the Utah consumer gets
the defective, blemished, over-ripe,
green wormy and runts of the pro-
duct. This is a bad home advertise
ment for the fruit to begin with,
and it is a good cause why Utah con-
sumes on an average Of 100 cars Of
foreign canned goods per year. And
what l mean by foreign canned goods
is, that it is foreign" to Utah---a
product and industry of other states,
principally California.
Now California is a good, large,
liberal and neighborly state of our.
Union, and we feel friendly toward
California, but. gentlemen, we must
certainly feel more loyal, more patri-
otto, more friendly. more earnest in
our effort in boosting our own be-
loved state Of Utah. The idea in the
main has been to market east the
best of the orchards, and let Utah
consumers the balance Perhaps this
is good reasoning from some stand
points, but want to say to you that
Utah consumers have an aristocratic
palate, and the retail distributor
knows 1t.

STAPLE ]. FOOD. FOR j POULTRY . ]. .'!
While Grain 10 Beneficial to Hens
1t Cannot Be Fed Alone-6est b
Results Secured by Variety. &

Grain is the staple food for poultry
and will be used for that purpose as
long as fowls are kept on farms, but
hens cannot give good results on
grain alone. 1t is beneficial to them,
and will be at all times relished, but
the demands of the hens are such as
to call for variety. In the shells of
eggs as well as in their composition,
are several forms of mineral matter
and nitrogen, which can only be par
Ntially obtained from grain.
Even grains vary in composition,
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for long time they will begin to re-
fuse it, as they may be oversupplied
with the elements Of the food par
taken and lack the elements that are
best applied from some other source.
For this reason they will accept q
change Of food, which of,itself is an
evidence that the best results from
hens can be had by variety of food.

AS the real pearl comes from the

note that it is from the brilliant

with this essence that imitation pearls
are manufactured.
The blay is described as "a small

exclusively from the white scales,

BAMBOO AS PAPER MATERIAL i !: ! I \ !,

"A Inventors are seeking a substitute

may be exceeded in time with com-5

The critical feature ee the entire
