SUMNER PRESERVES.

The thrifty housewife feels that
closet unless she has several kinds
of preserves.
Preserved Peaches-This is an old
Virginia recipe for preserved peaches
Pare perfect fruit and remove the
stones, dropping the peaches into cold
water to keep them from discoloring.
When ready, drain carefully and for
every five pounds of fruit, add four
pounds of sugar, put a third of the
amount of sugar in a preserving ket-
tie with just enough water to keep
from burning. When well Dissolved
put in layer of peaches and sprinkle
over it a generous layer of sugar, con-
tinue the process until all the sugar
and fruit are used, heat slowly and
simmer until the fruit is transparent
skimming occasionally during the pro
cess. Skim the peaches out with a
skinner and lay them in a large fiat
dish, taking case not to crowd them.
Put them in the sun to become firm
In the meantime boil the sirup until
it is thick and clear, carefully remov-
ing all the scum. Return the peaches
to the sirup just long enough to heat
through, then pack in large mouthed
jars. Put in layer of fruit, then a
layer of sirup until over flowing

pits is liked crack a few of the ker

them to the jars.
Preserved Pears.-For preserving
choose pears of fine favor, but not
over sweet. Peel them, leaving the
stems on, dropping zach in cold water
after it is peeled When enough are
ready drain them, weigh and for every
pound or fruit allow three quarters
of pound of granulated sugar. Par
boil the fruit in water to cover, take
out and lay on a dish to cool. Put
the sugar into the kettle in the water
in which the pears were parboiled.
When the sugar is dissolved, drop in
the fruit and cook slowly until the
fruit is transparent. Allow a lemon
to every ten pounds of fruit, cut in
very thin slices. Put the pears in
jars. cook down the sirup and pour
over them
Ripe Tomato Preserves.-Put the
peeled tomatoes in a bowl with equal
weights of sugar and let stand over
night. then preserve as for peaches.

! ones. They are hopeless, anyway By
doing this the tree is rid of a great
number of infested spots. fungous and
otherwise
When a young orchard is starting
in to bear, thinning is an absolute
requirement, if there is any great
amount of fruit on them. In the first
place, they set far more fruit than
they can possibly develop without &C
tually hurting and stunting the
future growth Of the tree. Then,
too, If the fruit is permitted to
stay on the tree, the overladen limbs
will begin to bend, snap off and twist
down as soon as the fruit is three
quarters grown
Peaches, plums, pears, ounces and
other fruits cannot be matured as
they should be without proper thin
ming. Pears require less thinning than
the other varieties mentioned So far
as cherries are concerned, | rarely
bother with them.

Cheese in 22e Varieties.

There are 229 known varieties of
cheese and no two of these are alike,

Milk is the foundation OF all cheese

maker and the taste of the consumer

Manure Fumes Bad for All Cattle.

Great heaps of manure near or
against the stable are source OF
bad odors that ruin the air which the
cattle are obliged to breathe II
it is true that the oxygen in the air
is taken into the body and builds up
the system, it is just as true that
the foul odors which arise from the
manure are breathed by the cattle
and break down their systems The
air and the cows get so saturated
with the odor Of manure that it gets

crease trade by giving attention to
three important particulars, viz,
prompt delivery, packing, and the
duty-for instance. where articles are
composed of different materials, as
iron, nickel, enamel, leather or wood.
In many instances it is possible to
ship these parts separately, to be as
sembled in the country for sale,
whereby there is an enormous saving
in the amount of duty and the goods
lowered in cost, which makes them
more salable because of this saving.
Another subject that should com
mend Ieself to the careful study of
American manufacturers is shipping
goods by the cheapest route. This is
not always done. and the consequence
in many cases is increased cost.
In addition to the foregoing mat
ters that work a great hindrance to
the extension of American trade is
the question of terms of credit, in
which the American manufacturer
demands cash before shipment, a re-
quirement not insisted on by any
other country.
These are some of the general ex-
periences and complaints which l am
forced to make, and l should be
greatly obliged to the honorable con
sulate If by some action or report
these conditions could be remedied, or

Silk Dyers Strike;
Feathers Face Bar;
Ans.-Use Flowers
MiIIiners Think That for Once They
Can Predict Styles for Fall
Well In Advance.

Flowers will be popular on wom-
ems hats for fall and winter wear.
In July this is a dangerous predic-
ton. Circumstances, however, make
it fairly safe prophecy. in the opin-
ion Of C. B. Palmer. of NJ. Kutz Co,
wholesale milliners.
Dame Fashion might take a notion
to dictate ribbons. But the silk dy-
ers' strikes in Paterson, n. J., have
caused an increase Of 20 per cent in
the cost of ribbons, and even az these
advanced prices, deliveries can not
be made. At best, goods can not be
promised before August Is or Sep
TENDER 1. and even if the mills re-
open, they are likely to be over
whelmed with the orders which have
been accommodating.
Feathers, again, might have been
Fashions favorites. But right now
there is trouble in Congress over the
importation Of feathers. The miIli-
ners and the Audubon Society are in
the throes of bitter struggle which
will decide whether feathers will be
admitted at all under the new tariff.
Remain only fur and flowers. For
three seasons. velvet and silk flow
ers have been increasing in popular
ity on fall and winter hats, and, with
the scarcity of other materials, are
likely to take the ascendency this
fall.
Small hats will rule-that is, small
er than those which have been worn
for the past few seasons. Crowns will
be round, with turned-up brims, ac-
cording to Mr.. Palmer. What will be
the favorite colors. besides the sta
pie blues, browns and black, no one
will know until September /.

last Monday to cover the Southern
States for fall business.

FOREIGN DEALER
SEES MISTAKES
Of AMERICANS
Slow Delivery and Demand for
Money in Advance Hinder
u. S. Trade Abroad.

Slowness in delivery of goods or
dered by European importers and the
rule of full prepayment are doing a
great deal Of damage to the business
interests of American exporters. Con-
sui w. ]. Pike, Reichenberg, Austria,
took the matter up by mail with a
prominent importer in that city not
long ago, and received a reply setting
forth the reasons why American bust
ness is not greater in Northern Bo-
hernia. According to Mr.. Pike. this
importer more than three years ago
established an important commercial
agency in Reichenberg. The organi-
cation covers all Of Northern Bo-
hernia. It has 270 branch offices. all
Of which are engaged chiefly in the
exploitation Of foreign made mer-
chandise.
At the time Mr.. Pike took up the
matter of increasing American bust
ness in that part of the world, the
importer was getting his merchandise
principally from Germany, France
and England. Following a notice
published on the foreign trade oppor-
tunities page of The Daily Consular
and Trade Report, however. the or
ganization has entered into extensive
business relations with firms in the
United States. Now most Of it's pur-
chases are confined to merchandise
produced in this country.
Capital Tied Up.
The letter received by the Consul
from the importer reads:
Respectfully referring to your es-
teemed favor of the Sth instant, l
would be obliged to inform the honor
able consulate of methods to put an
end in the future to the mistakes
which are made in exporting by
American firms.
"A great evil that exists for the i'm
porter is that the total payment for
the merchandise ordered must be sent
in advance If the merchandise were
delivered promptly to enable quick
sales, the loss Of working capital and
of the investment would not be 50
considerable, but Notwithstanding the
total payment is sent in advance, the
merchandise is only delivered in two
or three months, and then only upon
| urging by cable, which all entails
considerable costs.

view OF the large force Of statesmen
dependent upon goods for delivery,
such business conditions require too
large a working capital with large ex-
| penses and costs.
This invariably slow delivery is
not the exception, but true as to all
| firms-I could give you the names of

where with profit.
Atlanta should have four times
the payroll it now has. This is the
way to go about it,"
EvansVilIe's Experience.
Boiling II. Jones told Of the ex-
perience OF 80 furniture manufactur-
ers in Evansville, Ind, who put up a
building and displayed their lines in
1t, keeping the ground floor for their
offices. They find II easier to get
prospective customers to look at their
wares, and also find the selling cost
cut to 3 per cent.
That convinced me-" said Mr.
Jones. Did any manufacturer here
ever sell goods for per cent mer-
chandising cost? This argument
alone seems to me unanswerable."
He spoke of the changes which have
come about in the Southern field
within five years. No longer is II
possible to sell merchant full car
load of one line. Therefore, he ar
gued, the exhibit will be valuable in
getting buyers to make up mixed
carloads of Atlanta made goods
Other cities, rivals of Atlanta, are

EngliShman'S Criticism of
AmeriCanStOreSAn Answered
Selfridge's Manager Unjustifed in Saying Gus
toners Wait Too Long for Parcels

Managers of Atlanta department
stores made tests at random to dem
onstrate that it takes on an average
80 seconds for the delivery of a pack
age and the making Of change.
Lucian. York, manager of Rich's,
says:
I'VE have a system which we be-
lieve is the best yet devised from
the viewpoint of the customer, and
Selfridge's certainly have nothing to
compare with 1t. We use an identi-
fication coin
Departs at Once.
Most of our charge customers
have their parcels delivered. After
the transaction is made the customer
merely gives her name and address
to the salesperson, shows her identi-
fication coin, and departs at once.
Even when the customer takes the
parcel with her, the wrapper in the
stand has 1t ready in a jiffy. Time
records to gauge our wrappers show
that on an average they use less
than a minute.
The delivery OF packages, after all,
is simply minor matter. What our
American people want broadly is
service-the right merchandise at the
right time at the right price. In Eng
nsh stores customers still are impOr-
tuned to buy; in fact, in many of the
stores 1t is almost impossible to leave
without buying. Fancy such a condi-
ton here!
Again, here we make every effort
TO get what the customer wants. We
anticipate the styles, bring on new
models and patterns.
when the customer purchases
these goods she buys them at our
risk-if they are not pleasing to her
when she gets them home she is at
liberty to return them. Here the Gus
toner is always right-in England,
from what I understand, she is more
at the mercy of the storekeeper."
