boxes along the rows, where the Der
ries will be exposed to the sun. The
shorter the time that elapses after the
fruit Is picked before 1t is put into
refrigerator cars or refrigerator boxes
the better It is for the berries, which
will continue to ripen rapidly until
they are chilled.
Large Crates Preferable.
Many types Of boxes and crates are
used for strawberries, but the ten
dency Is toward a standard full-size
quart box. In fact, in several states 1t
is illegal to offer for sale short box;
shipments to these markets must be
handled to conform with the laws.
The boxes now in use are the Ameri-
can or standard quart berry box,
which holds a full quart; the octagon
box, and the square scale-board type
of quart and pint boxes. The Ameri-
can type is the one that is most gen.
orally used; 1t is full size, strongly
made, and packs well in the crate. The
octagon box is Objectionable on &C.
count of it's shape and the raised bot
tom. A long, narrow box is not sat
isfactory, because it is inconvenient to
pick up without grasping the sides
between the thumb and fingers, and
when handled in this way the berries
are likely to be mashed. Moreover,
the sides of boxes with raised bottoms
often split off below the bottom, caus-
ing the boxes to tip over.
The scale-board boxes are cheaper
than splint boxes, but as the latter are
more substantial they are preferred
in nearly all markets. The type of
crate depends on the boxes used ANY
crate substantially built and we'll ven
tilated is satisfactory, but cost is an
important consideration, as they are
not returned to the shipper.
The largest crate that can be
handled conveniently is the one to use,
as the large ones are cheaper in pro-
portion to the quantity of berries they
carry. The "a or 32-quart crates are
generally used, though in some Sec
lions the 60-quart crate is employed.
Crates with hinged lids have an ad-
vantage over others in that they pro-
vide for the inspection of the fruit to
better advantage. The hinged-lid
crate invites inspection and this is a
point in it's favor

OLD GRADUATES
MEET At REUNION
NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE HOLDS
ITS GOLDEN JUBILEE cELE-
BRATION.
MANY GUESTS ARE PRESENT
Graduates and Friends of the lnsttu-
ton Came From Many Parts
of the Middle
West.

Watertown.-Gra ministers
and retired business men and farmers
who were graduated from Northwes-
tern college nearly fifty years ago met
at the golden jubilee celebration of
the college here.
They found plenty of opportunity to
talk over old times when Northwestern
was one of the smallest of small col
leges and to meet and exchange remi-
niscences with graduates of later days
still in the midst of their careers and
with young men who left the college
only few years ago.
1t was joyous reunion, the biggest
thing of it's kind in Northwestern's his
tory. There was pathos, too. in the
mutual acknowledgement of high hopes
of college days still unrealized or 9th
er misfortunes suffered.
1t was big day in every sense; big
with the feeling of chums and friends
long separated; big in plans for the fu-
ture for individuals and for the col
lege: it was big, too, in the sense of
numbers, for graduates and friends of
the institution came from many parts
of the middle west.

Always Best to Purchase Standard
Quality - Loss From 5reakage
Ought to Be Avoided.

Buy what binder Irvine will be
needed for the wheat crop early, so
as to get a good article. 1t is always
best to buy of standard quality-that
will not kink and knot up. A poor
quality of Irvine will give no end of
trouble in harvesting heavy grain.
The loss of time caused by breakage
during harvest will more than pay
for all the best Irvine needed in har-
vesting the crop.
Ropes for the hay fork and for
hauling the hay cocks to barrack or
rick, should be Of the best quality
and the full length. A new rope,
particularly If it be sisal, often
causes trouble because Of its stiffness.
If used as hay fork rope or to place
where it runs through a set Of pull
legs, it is apt to tangle up until 1t has
been used for some time.
This trouble may be avoided by
boiling the rope in water. Coil the
rope in a large soap boiler and cover
with water and bring 1t to boil. The
rope is then to be taken out and
stretched out and allowed to dry,
when it will be found to be soft and
pliable.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS SUCCESS
Advance in Studies as Marked as
Physical Improvement, Reports
Green Bay Institution.

Green Bay.-Every one of the fifty
pupils in the two open air schools
made at least one grade during the
year which has just closed. One of
the fifty has done three years work
in one. Six have done the work of
two grades and eight have made one
and one-half grades. This is regard
ed as most remarkable showing, as
the schools are maintained only for
children suffering from serious phys
ical handicap and the gain in health
has been as striking as the record
in study.
At least three-quarters of an hour
each afternoon is given to sleeping
and the fine record made by the two
schools is regarded as a typical DEM
onstratiOn of what fresh air., proper
food and sufficient rest will accom-
plish.
The greatest gain in weight during
the year was fifteen and a half
pounds. The least was one-half
pound, but the child who made the
minimum in weight made great gain
in general health conditions. The
schools are under the supervision OF
Miss Myra Kimball.

WOLF PELT FRAUD CHARGED
William Whit Arrested at Frederic
for Alleged Connections With
Bounty Swndlers.

uperior.-William Whit, long
famed as champion wolf slayer of
northern Wisconsin, is under arrest
at Frederic, Wis, and state game
wardens are claimed to have connect
ed him with gigantic frauds, whereby
the northwestern counties of Wis
consin have been defrauded of more
than $40, 900 in the last five years.
Others are said to be implicated in
the plan which it is alleged centered
around the purchase of pelts of Ca
madam wolves, brought to the Twin
cities and their presentation to Wis
consin county clerks for bounty pay
ments. The pelts are said to have
cost the hunters from $3.50 to $3.50,
while the bounty is 500, half paid by
the state and half by the county.
During the last four years Whit
has collected from the state and from
treasurers of Douglas, Burnett, Polk
and Washburn counties $9,SO4, Off
Gals charge. That much of this was
paid on Canadian wolf pelts, and that
other men have used the same sys-
tenn with similar results, is alleged,
and arrests are imminent.

When 1 select dog 1 first satisfy

items when making canine purchases.
Many dogs wearing the blue ribbon
are impostors as hunters. Few of
them ever saw or heard the crack Of

most profitable hound Is the willing
worker that costs about $3.50, who
needs no valet to groom the burdocks

The stage of maturity at which
strawberries should be picked depends
upon the distance they are to be
shipped. When grown for the local
market they should be picked when
thoroughly ripe but not soft, says a new
farmers bulletin, No. 664, Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. If grown for a distant market
the berries must be picked before they
are thoroughly ripe, but they should
be fully grown and about three-fourths
ripe. If picked before they are colored
the berries will shrink and wither,
making them unfit for sale. Strawber-
ries should be picked with a short
piece of stem attached (about one
fourth to one-half inch). They should
never be slipped from the stem, as
that spoils appearance and Injuries
their shipping and keeping qualities.
Grading and Packing.
Uniformity in the pack is essential
in order to obtain high prices for
strawberries. and this can be secured
only when the berries have been care
fully graded and sorted. Some grow
ers have the berries graded in the
field.
A common practice in some sections
is to pick the ripe berries of all grades
into the same box and when the tray
Is full to take 1t to the packing shed,
where the berries are sorted and
packed. The graders dump the ber-
ries on table and pick out all green,
oVerripe or small berries. The others
are placed in the boxes, one of the
graders arranging the top layers in
such a way that the berries show to
best advantage. When berries are
packed in this manner, care should be
taken not to put the small, inferior
berries in the center of the box and
the large fine berries on top. The
fruit should be uniform throughout
the box, with the top layer merely
placed to aid to the attractiveness of
the pack and to hold the fruit in place
Where the fancy pack is put up, the
berries should be divided into two
grades.
After the berries are picked they
should be placed in the shade as soon
as possible, for heat Injuries the fruit
in a short time. The pickers should
not be allowed to leave the filled

HAD oUAcKs As FOUNDATION
German Science, So Famous Today, Is
Credited With Exceedingly Mod
est Beginning.

German medical science is world
famed and has proved a godsend To
mankind. Yet the science may be SAID
to have been founded by the quacks
of former centuries, for, while quack-
cry has always flourished in all coun-
tries, Germany was long the leader IN
turning out practitioners of this dubL
Gus profession. They we're often men
of imagination akin to genius, and
they travelled all over Europe. A ma
jority. of the celebrated quacks OF
England were Germans, and Their
methods of advertising their cures
were very similar to those of the In
dian medicine men" who still flourish
In the rural districts Of America.
Having studied over Galem, Hypo-
crates, Albumazer and Paracelsus, l
am now become the Esculapius OF the
age" modestly announced one medi'
eval quack, according to an early
play, having been educated at twelve
kingdoms and been counselor to the
counselors of several monarcks. BY
the earnest prayers of several lords,
earls, dukes and honorable person
ages l have been at last prevailed
upon to oblige the world with this no
tice: That all persons, young and
old, blind or lame, deaf or dumb, cur
able or incurable, may know where
to repair for cure in all cephalalgias,
paralytic paroxysms, palpitations OF
the pericardium, empyemas, syncopesl
and nasieties, arising either from a.
plethory or cachochymy veryiginous
vapors, hydrocephalous exacerbations
odontalgic or podagrical infammations
and the entire legion of tethnerous
distempers.
This is natures palladium, health's
magazine, and 1t works seven manner
Of ways, as nature requires, for 1t
scorns to be confined to any particular
mode of operation"
Yet from those quacks arose the
mighty army of German scientists
whose researches have been the marvel
and the benefaction of the whole
world.
