fruit department.
Our locality. as a result. is now
recognized as the leading mixed
vegetable shipping point of the state.
as regards the standard Of our out
put and the quantity produced.
standardization Weights, Color. Pack
ages
These three subjects in discussing
our local fruit business can be treat
ed under nearly the same head.
Unless We apply soon standard
for weights on fruit packages. 1t
will not be necessary for us to do
so as local movement. as fortu-
naiely the Federal Government. in a
short time. with the aid OF some OF
the enlightened states. will solve our
difficulties. regardless of our own
lack OF inattention 10 this important
matter.
This season, however. in justice to
the grower who gives full measure
and true weight, should not pass un-
till some correction has been made
of this careless neglect off weight
standards.
The honest. careful grower through
his Horticultural Society should de-
mand that local standard be pro-
vided for the proper weights on diff
ferent small berry packages.
Make yourself committee OF one
and station yourself some busy day
at one Of the local commission houses
and sample by weighing different
loads OF fruit as they are being un-
loaded on the platforms. You will
observe differences amounting to
from 10 to 25 per cent in weights.
yet your own full standard weight OF
fruit does not receive. as general
rule. any more compensation than
the light weight package. BY all
the rules OF buying. the comparative
quality being the same. your larger
quantity OF fruit should receive It's
Increase Of price.
Even with a difference of ten per
cent between a crate OF strawberries
at full weight and a light weight
pack. when the market is $500 per
crate the full weight packer looses
20 cents per crate: 81 90 on ten
crates.
The remedy for the trouble Is clear
~ with the full weight growers. and
the sooner they organize among them
eslyes or through the Horticultural
Society and demand OF the dealers
that they only buy on standardized
weights. the sooner they will receive
the justice that is their due. and
their fruit will be more equally
bought on merit.
This season. IL we continue to
use the old short weight berry crate.
it will be more a matter Of luck than
good pudgment IL we do not have

Stable Manure.

1t 10 = well-known fact that no sys-

the soil the potash and phosphoric

elements that are removed be returned
in some manner, the soil will In.
evitably become too poor for an am
bilious man to cultivate. Common
stable manure Is conceded to be one
of the best fertilizers for general pur-
poses, and 1t is to be deplored that

tain the fertility Of rich soil. 1t Is
not insisted that the use Of it would
be advisable in all cases, since tho
fertility of the soil and the crop to be
raised should be the governing fac
tors, but 1t is safe to assert that all
stable manure can advantageously be
used in any general farming com

sIL0 IN A SHELTERED PLACE
Freezing Can Be Prevented by
Exercising Little Care.

by A. d. WILSON. Director of Agricul-
tural Extension Division and Farmers'
Institute. University Farm. st. Paul.
Mimi
None Of the types Of silos put upon
the market so far will keep silage in
this latitude without more or less
freezing taking place during the win.
ter months, although those having
air spaces in the walls seem to freeze
somewhat less than the type having
solid walls.
Experience has shown. however.
that freezing can be kept within rea-
sonable limits In silos Of any common
type by the exercise Of a little extra
care. A good tight roof should be
provided and the doors should be kept
closed as much as possible to prevent
circulation Of air above the silage and
to keep In the heat generated by the
silage.
In using. it is important to keep
the surface of the silage level or even
trine high in the middle. not allow.
ing hole to form in the center. as is
sometimes done when silage begins to
freeze around the edges. We have
never had any bad results from feed
ing frozen silage, but 1t will not keep
long after thawing out.
Since most Of the freezing is due to
cold air above the silage. 1t is possible
to afford considerable protection by
keeping the surface covered with hay
or straw. or better still, blanket or
canvas
II in addition to these precautions
1t is convenient to build the silo in
sheltered place, there should be little
loss or trouble from freezing.

ture. In that year the number on

AS meat-food animals sheep have
never been sufficiently appreciated in
the United States. They are however,
Of very great value. They must be
classed with hogs and poultry as the
most available animals to supply meat
for home use on the average farm.
They are readily slaughtered, the
meat can be kept without difficulty,
It cuts up without waste in sizes which
are convenient for the average family,
and the meat is nutritious. wholesome
and palatable when properly cooked.
The healthfulness Of the sheep alone
gives 1t front rank ~ q meat-food
animal. Sheep rarely have tubercu-
losis or other diseases communicable
to man.
Tho foregoing statements are a1io-
matte. II the sheep industry is so in
viting. why do the farmers seem to be
showing . tendency to curtail sheep
raising? There are probably three
First - Intestinal parasites, princi-
pally stomach worms, cause serious
losses in farm hocks over the whole
country. and almost entire lamb crops
arc sometimes exterminated. In no
farming sections are sheep free from
this danger. and NO breed OF sheep is
immune. although some breeds-the
Merinos, for example-are less sus
oeptible than others. No infallible
cure for stomach worms B known,
but 1t 10 possible to control them eco
nomically by keeping the lambs away
from the ewes except when nursing,
and by 4 system Of pasture rotation.
Unless farmer il willing to take pre-
cautions in the management Of the

against them is to keep the flock dur

and to put it into a dog-proof inclos-
