The Green Fruit Problem

.citric acid in them. That is what
they are wanted for--the citric a
cid, and the doctors recommend
|. them to consumers and the laws
. do not prohibit their shipment.
But oranges and grapefruit con.
r tanning a less quantity of citriC
r acid and more sugar than lines
and lemons are pronounced green
| immature and unfit for consump-
tion and are, therefore, prohibited
from being shipped. State and
federal chemists declare that this
alleged immature fruit is un-
wholesome and injurious to the
health of consumers, and we,
therefore, have laws to prevent it
from being offered for sale.
Thus, between the citrus canker
and the official experts, the Flori-
da citrus industry is likely to suf-
fer incalculable injury.
The people who declare that the
eating of green oranges-yes, real
| ly green oranges,is deleterious to
health, cannot produce a certifi-
cate from a reputable physician
that he has ever treated a case Of
sickness that was unqueStionably
caused by eating green oranges.
The writer hereof has lived in
South Florida continuously since
March, 1877. During the first
years of his sojourn, he boarded
with farmers and taught rural
schools, some of which began in
and some extended in
to June. During those two
the oranges were undeni-
ably green, but the farmers child
rem feasted on them daily and not
one of the children suffered any
i'll consequences.
The conclusion is, if people
want fruit that contains a large
acid content, let them have it.
1t is admitted, however, that
the shipment of such fruit to the
northern markets causes ripe fruit |
shipped later on to sell for such
low prices that the grower gets
nothing for it. Northern people |
who buy the green oranges ship
ped i'll September conclude that
ripe ones shipped in December are
unpalatable and so they
refuse to buy.
Well, what is the remedy? Turn |
the whole business over to the
Florida Citrus Exchange - let
that concern do the picking, pack
ing and shipping and place guar
antoc in each box that the fruit is
ripe, or money refunded. Let it
be universally understood that
any man buying one box or one
thousand boxes under the trade
mark of the Exchange, can abso-
lutely depend upon it that he is
getting good fruit, fully mature
and worth the price paid. We are
sure that that is now the case
1t is just as if man were buy
ing Knox or Stetson hat. The
brand is sufficient guarantee
hat he is getting a good hat, and /
ne does not hesitate to pay the
price.
If the Exchange controlled rs
per cent. of the Florida citrus
crop, there would be no doubt a.
oout the growers getting fair
prices.
If this is not the most feasible
solution of the green fruit prob
lem, then the only other one hav-
ing any sense in it is to require
every box of oranges or grape
fruit shipped from the state to
have pasted on it an inspector s
certificate giving the acid, sugar
and other contents of fruit con-
tanned therein, just as every bot
tie of laudanum now has to be la
beled with the percentages of op-
ium and alcohol. But the present
green fruit laws, both state and
federal, are foolish and impracti-
cable, and they ought to be re-
pealed.

LESSON OF SUFFICIENT REST
One Of Hardest Tasks for GroWnuos
to Master and Not Surprising
That Child Ignores Il.

II has been observed that while We
are trying to do something for the
child who is overworked, we need to
remember the other danger of over
play. Parents and teachers too often
fail to realize the injury that may
come through the exciting stimula-
ton of games carried to excess.
Most children need to be restrained
now and then in the matte~ of ex.
hausting exercise. The lesson of suf-
ticient rest is one of the hardest
which grownups have to lea'n. 1t is
not surprising that children do not
know how to observe it.
Yet many cases of nerves and ir-
ritability could be traced directly to
the fact that a child has been allowed
to run from morning till night with no
relaxation at time when the de-
mands of youth make rest especially
needful. 1t is better to insist upon
plenty of sleep and quiet than to pun
ish youngster for the natural result
of tagged body.-Haverhill Gazette.

HANS DREAM.

A0AsxA sAR<A0n

Hans and Martha We're an old cou-
pie who lived in little Aouse on the
bank of q river. Hans was miller.
He WAS q very cross man and found
fault with poor Martha, blaming her
for all that happened to displease him.
His breakfast was too hot or too cold,
and his dinner was too late or too
early. II many people came to the
mill with corn to be ground he fused
because he had to work SO hard TO
support her. When they did not come
he grumbled because he had two TO
feed and so little work
Poor Martha was very patient and
bore it without complaining. but she
sometimes wished he would be a little
kinder to her, for she worked as hard
as he did. sometimes helping him in
the mill.
One day 1t was cold and Hans came
in and sat by the fire.
Where is my pipe?" he asked
Martha told him she did not know.
IF you would let it alone" he said,
Il should know where to find it."
He found fault with the dinner; 1t
was not what he wanted.
1T is all we have in the house. said
Martha.
That is just it," replied Hans. IF
! did not have you to support could
have better things to eat
But who would cook it," asked
Martha.
Hans told her he could cook well
enough, and better than she did, for
the pudding they had for dinner was
burnt.
Just then he put his hand in his
pocket. and there was his pipe Mar
tina saw him smoking, but said moth
ing, and kept on with her work
All at once Hans saw an old woman
standing beside him. She had on a
long black cape and leaned on cane.
On her head she had queer hat with
. peak at the top.
so Martha is a nuisance to you,'
she said. We'll, what can do to
help you? You can have your own
way II you will tell me what you
want"
Hans removed his pipe from his
mouth and looked at her How did
you get in here?" he asked, for he was
sure she did not come in through the
! door.
Il came down the chimney" she an
swered
We'll, you better go back" said
Hans, for he did not like to have peo-
pie take him by surprise.
NO" said the old lady, mot until
l have satisfied your wants. Do you
wish to live here alone and not be
bothered by Martha?"
Il should have more II didn't have
her to support" said Hans. feeling
that he must defend himself in some
way
Very well." said the old lady. you
can be alone. will take Martha with
me. and here is a chicken for your
dinner" And she took nice, fat
chicken out Of a bag she had under
her cape and put 1t on the table and
then disappeared.
Hans thought she had gone upstairs
to Martha. and he laughed to himself
for he was sure Martha would not &c
with her. After while he became

HE WAS SLOW BUT THOROUGH
Quality Of His Work Spoke Well for
Boy Engaged to Pull Weeds Out
Of lady's Garden.

A lady engaged a boy to weed in
her garden. He started to do the
work as she directed, and she went
about her household duties. After a
half hour had elapsed she looked out
the window and saw the boy at about
the same spot she had left him
Pretty slow" said the lady. and
again went about her work.
Another half hour elapsed. and
again she looked out the window.
She noticed that he had done very
little more, and said to herself, Il
wish had secured a man for this tob;
it will not be finished today at this
rate"
At the end of another half hour
she concluded to speak 20 the boy
and hurry him up. so out to the yard
she went.
She stopped suddenly. II was true
that not very much OF the garden had
been covered. The boy was SLOW, that
was sure. byt such job OF wedding
as he had done, Not a single stray
piece of grass was left. II was as
clean as could be. She stood and
locked in amazement. There was Just
one word for it-thCroueh Instead
OF ceiling him to do the work faster,
she said That's fine That's the

1ark and he could not find taper TO
light the lamp. He began to think of
Martha; that perhaps he found too
much fault and he came to the con-
clusion that he was better on with her
than without her, but how was he TO
get her back?
He decided to go to the roof and
look down the chimney, perhaps she
was stuck at the top. He went up on
the roof and climbed TO the top OF
the chimney and looked down, when
Bang, he lost his balance and down
he went
My goodness!" said Martha, you
have dropped your pipe and you near
ly jumped out OF the chair. What Is
the matter with your
Hans looked around. There was
Martha. and the fire was burning
brightly lie did not say anything,
for over the fire he saw a kettle
Where nave you been?' he asked,
after while.
Il have been right here" answered
Martha. but you have been asleep
and snored terribly"
When Martha went into the closet
Hans peeped into the kettle, but he
saw potatoes, not chicken; then he
slyly opened the oven door. and in
there he saw baking beautiful brown
biscuits, kind OF which he was very
fond.
That night at the table Hans ate his
supper with a relish and even praised
Marthas cooking. which surprised her
very much. and later, when Martha
was washing the dishes Hans came
up behind her and kissed her.
Martha he said, you are the best
wife man ever had" Martha's old
face lighted up and she wondered
what had come over him but she only
smiled at him and kept on with her
dishes.

answer. He went upstairs, but he
could not find her. Then he remem-
bered what the old lady said, that she
came down the chimney. He was sure
II she tried to take Martha up the
chimney that Martha must be there
now, for Martha was very stout; SO he
looked, but could not see anyone.
Let her go. he said at last Il
will nave all the chicken for myself,
and l will make pudding that can
eat.
He looked at the fire, but it had died
out; he tried to build it, and then put
on a kettle OF water for the chicken
but he did not know whether it shouiC
be boiled or baked, and he did not
know how to do either He next went
to the closet anC brought out some
-four, which he mixed with water,
and without greasing the pan, put the
mixture in it ana put it IN the oven
Then he saw that the fire was out
and the chicken was just as it was
when he put it in the kettle. He was
cold and hungry, and it was getting

the best. but the only plan whereby
the poultry house could be properly
ventilated in winter
The scientific principles of this lit
tie poultry house are recognized as be-
ing the nearest approach to perfec-
tion of anything in the shape of a
poultry house.
The roof is low at the back, some
of these poultry houses being not
more than three feet high at the north
side and about seven feet .in front.
Old-fashioned poultry houses were
built for the convenience Of the atten-

1t is customary to provide from
three to five square feet of floor area
per fowl. There are about 225 square
feet of floor surface in each room.
which divided by five gives a rated
capacity of 45 fowls in each compart-
ment 1t is the ambition of many poul-
try raisers to start in the fall with
about one hundred one-year-old hens
and pullets. The number very often
is reduced to about eighty or ninety
before Christmas, so that the plan
works out about right for poultry
business of this size.
Old mems are not profitable. Two
years is about the limit of energetic

they do need frequent change Of air.

crete, because lime is softer and wears
the claws less, at the same time sani-

well-regulated poultry house straw

OF several inches; sometimes . foot

out every day and another layer OF
fresh straw is supplied. Every morn

scattered in the straw and the birds

A lime floor will discourage rats
and mice as well as concrete, 1t is
easily kept clean and 1t is not much
harder than a wooden floor. There is
