The Department Of Agriculture has
prepared a list Of the principal farmers
organization which have been establish
ed for the purpose of comparatively mar
keting the products Of their farms and
orchards. A synopsis Of the methods OF
these various organizations iS given, and
the results achieved Hereunder are out
lined. California ranks first among the
states in the matter of cooperative sell
ing organizations, and the Atlantic sea-
board states show large number of
organizations which have been handling
farm products with a high degree OF
success.
One of the most interesting and widely
known of the cooperative selling organi-
cations Is the California Fruit Growers
Exchange. The annual orange and lemon
crop of California amounts to some 20
900. 600 boxes or $1,000 carloads. There
are from ten to twelve thousand orange
and lemon growers in the state. Iour-
fifths Of whom are members of co-opera-
tive selling associations. Sixty per cent
of these are federated in the California
Fruit Growers Exchange. This asso-
citation acts as a clearing house Tor the
crops of the $500 affiliated growers. pro,

marketing the fruit.

which the federation is based: First Of
these is the

These district associations in turn form

affairs so long as they do not CONNECT
with the constitution and laws or the
exchange, and each local association can
do as it pleases, within the bounds OF
the constitution and laws of the eX-

are deducted, go to the growers them
selves. The exchange comprises lis local
associations, each of which has from
forty to two hundred members. Each To-
cal association is organized 80 that the
fruit grown by its members may be as
sembled in a packing house, where

ors, grades, cools. packs and prepares it
for shipment. Each grower receives his
share of the net proceeds
of each grade of fruit sold. Many of the
pick the fruit, and some of
them prune and fumigate the trees for
their members. When carload is as

markets. Every shipper reserves the

shipments, to develop his own brands. to
use his own judgment as to when, where.
how and at what price he shall sell. even
In competition with his fellow-members.
The California Walnut Growers Asso-
citation renders about the same service
to the walnut growers of southern Cali
fornia as is rendered to the citrus fruit
growers by the Fruit Growers Exchange.
The general association is made up OF
members of local ones. The central body
has made uniform rules for grading and
bleaching. The walnLts must be passed
over a screen with meshes one inch in

Keep Pots and Pans In Sight.

The efficient kitchen should be so ar ranged that it is not necessary to hide all the pots and pans under doors and in cupboards away from sight. Did you ever visit factory or large estab- lishment where the boilers and the caldrons and the belting and the thou sand tools were stuck away from sight when not in use? Your kitchen equip ment should be so attractive and good that it looks well and doesn't need to be tucked away. Every time a pot is pushed into a shut closet we increase the dangers of uncleanliness, and 1t takes us twenty unnecessary motions to stoop to place it in low cupboard and fish it out again. Hang up. place on shelves, put knives in strips of can vas, screw eyes on small pieces, use no closet doors if possible and let your kitchen be a real workshop.-Philadel- phia Ledger. .N

Lemonade a Germicide.

Lemonade made with soda water, seltzer or carbonic water is one of the most perfect germicides that can be taken into the body, according to the London Lancet.
 'It has long been known that water charged with carbonic acid gas loses after awhile what meteorological ac- tivities 1t possessed" says that au- thoritative medical paper. "This ob- servation has been confirmed, the evi- dence showing that the germicidal ef- fleets are greater as the pressure of gas is increased. It would seem co fol- low that deep natural waters charged with carbonic acid gas must be sterile, at all events before they reach the sur face, and numerous examinations have shown that natural aerated waters ex- hibit freedom from active germs. In the case of lemonade, however, there is present, besides carbonic acid gas, the citric acid of the lemon, and citric acid, even in weak solutions, is a germ de- StrOyer"

a Spendthrift Duke.

The sixth Duke of Devonshire, son of the "Gainsborough' duchess, came into a colossal fortune on attaining his majority. The whole of his property was in his own hands. The entail had been cut off. and his fathers death had interfered with the resettlement. "There was, therefore, no curb on his extravagance," says his biographer, land so great were the inroads that his mode of life made on his wealth that toward the end of his life he felt constrained to sell the Yorkshire estate of Londesborough." This famous and foolish duke believed in keeping up the dignity of his position and would drive to race meetings in a coach and six with twelve outriders. When sent as ambassador extraordinary to St. Petersburg for the coronation of Nich- olas l. he spent f50,000 in excess of the sum allowed him by the govern ment.-London Globe.
