SELL ALL SURPLUS POULTRY
Cocks That Have OutIived Their Use
fitness and Deformed Pullets
Should Be Got Rid Of.

There is no better time of the year
and sell all surplus fowls. If more
care were taken to keep only desir-
able and productive fowls in the poul-
try flock, the increase in the amount
of eggs produced would be hard to es-
innate. Hens that are in their
second season should be disposed
of as soon as they stop laying,
and before they drop into the mott.
Now is the time of the year when good
fat fowls bring good fat prices. Also
all cocks that have outlived their use
fulness should be got rid of Even
though not worth a great deal, it is
better to sell them than to keep them
through the winter. Keep only the
very best of the old stock; hens that
have been good layers and cocks that
YOU are sure are good stock getters.
must all be kept.
Besides the old fowls there are also
some new ones to be got rid of.
All the surplus young cocks and all
the young pullets that are deformed,
understood or do not promise to be
good layers are disposed of. Good
signs of a good layer are a general
alert appearance: they must be active,
have bright eyes and sharp head.
If this weeding-out process should
be strictly observed by all poultry
farmers every year, the increase in
egg production would be enormous.

HOW TO HANDLE FRUIT
Care Must Be Exercised in Pick
ing ard Packing Apples.
Apples Are Very easily Bruised,
Thereby Presenting Unattractive
Appearance-AIways Watch
Markets in Selling.

Few people realize the importance OF
handling apples with care while pick
ing. packing and marketing Apples
are bruised very easily and especially
those varieties having tender flesh
or skin. Bruises mean not only an un-
attractive appearance. but real waste
OF fruit by having to cut out the
bruised tissue. Probably the greatest
damage from bruises, however, results
from the fact that the bruises furnish
an entrance for fungus or rot spores.
These spores. or fungus seeds are
as fine as dust and float in the air. Ii
they happen to lodge on bruised or
broken spot on the apple, they take
root and grow and spread through
the apple. causing it to rot. Wrapping
or covering the apple may not always
protect it, as the spores may have
lodged on the apple before it was
picked However, if the skin and flesh
of the apple can be kept intact and
not bruised or broken, there is not
much danger of the fungus or rot find
ing its way into the apple.
To prevent bruiSing, apples Shoulu
not be dropped or thrown into q
bucket. box or BARREL and in pouring
from one vessel to another care should
be taken that the apples are as close
as possible to the bottom of the vessel
in which you are placing them before
the pouring begins. If pail is used
to pick in, it should be small enough
to lower into the boxes and. even then.
holding back the apples with the
hands is a good idea, as it breaks the
fall and lessons the bruising. No apple
which falls from the tree should be
allowed to go into the first grade ap-

First-class fruit in first-class shape
will probably develop an inquiry for
more of the same kind.

TEACHING THE COLT TO LEAD
Accidents Not Likely to Happen II Or
binary Care Is FoIIowed-Begin
Training While Young.

Some people are afraid to handle
young colts. to halter them and lead
them about for fear OF hurting them
in some way. 1t is true that the little
fellows may get scare that will cause
them to be tangled up and hurt in
some accident, but this is not
very likely to occur where even ordi-
nary carefulness is followed. On the
other hand, we all know how hard a
fullgrown animal is TO accuSt0m TO

SPREAD OF CHOLERA GERMS
Reason for Prevalence of Disease "a
Late Summer and Fall Is That
Harvest Hands Are Careless.

The reason that hog cholera is more
prevalent in the latter part of the
summer and fall is that farmers are
exchanging work during harvesting
and threshing and do not take precau-
tons against carrying the germ that
produces hog cholera from infected
to clean premises.
1t is not a good plan TO thresh in
hog lots or allow hogs to run to straw
stacks. If cholera exists in the neigh
borhood. some of the help may come
from an infected farm and leave in
lection which will be picked up by the
pigs.-Nebraska College of Agricul-
ture.

Warrior of Today.

George Wharton Pepper said ar a
luncheon at the Pittsburgh training
camp for officers:
THE methods of warfare have
changed enormously in the past year.
The sword, for example, is no longer
carried. The sword has quite disap-
peared from war.
"A story comes from the Argonne
about a French chasseur who took a
German officer prisoner The chasseur
a boy, a tyro, said to the officer:
Give up your sword.
But the officer shook his head and
answered:

Convenient and Useful Packing Stand.

Watch the markets and always have
your fruit ready to sell when the
prices are most favorable.
1t is folly to spend years in bring
ing up a good orchard and then allow
the buyers TO come in and take them
at their own price.
Of course it pays well to raise fancy
apples if all the details Of packing
and selling are attended to. but 1T
must be remembered that the bulk OF
the fruit consumed is of the standard
variety.
When apples are shipped from the
orchard in bulk the packer makes
very nice profit in sorting and packing
in clean boxes or barrels-a thing the
grower should do himself.
