BUY THE BEST BINDER TWINE
Quality = Loss From 5reakage
Ought to Be Avoided.

Buy what binder twine 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 twine 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 twine needed in har-
vestlng 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 IL it be sisal. often
causes trouble because of it's stiffness
II used as hay fork rope or to place
where IL runs through a set OF pull
leys. il is apt to tangle up until It 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 II to boil. The
rope is then to be taken out and
stretched out and allowed 10 dry,
when ii will be found TO be soft and
pliable.

PLAN TO SPRAY VEGETABLES
Machinery as Necessary for Garden
as for Orchard-Liquid Should
Be Put on in Fine Mist.

A spraying machine is as necessary
for the garden as the orchard. Some
folks use a common water sprinkler
for applying spraying mixtures; but
this does little good, because it is not
only great waste OF material but the
plants are not fully covered in this
way.
The liquid should be put on in fine
mist, not as a heavy rain. To apply
paris green in water various cheap
hand sprayers are on the market now.
They need not be OF copper for
this purpose, as paris green will not
corrode iron any more than does wa
ter; but when bordeaux mixture is
used as a carrier for the arsenical
poison (and we would strongly urge
that this be done in every case. as II
must be done IL we put our potato
growing operations on a safe basis)
then the sprayer must be made of
copper and brass-iron would be eat.

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
throughly 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

ers have the berries graded in the

A common practice in some sections
Is to pick the ripe berries of all grades
into the same box and when the tray
is Sull to take i. 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 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

boxes along the rows, where the ber-
ries will be exposed to the sun. The
shorter the time that elapses after the
fruit is picked before it is put into
refrigerator cars or refrigerator boxes
the better il 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 standard full-size
quart box. In fact, in several states il
is illegal 10 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 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; it is full size, strongly
made, and packs well in the crate. The
octagon box is Objectionable on ac-
count of its 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
tions 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 its favor.
