BE particular to select good apples
of the same size for the top layer, but
be just as particular to see that those
in the middle and the bottom of the
box are equally good.
Second quality apples should be
packed in the same way, in boxes by
themselves, and the culls can either
be made into cider or worked up for
family use or sold in the market for
just what they are If the second
grade apples and the culls are packed
In along with the best you will get
nothing more than the price for culls,
as buyers always base their offering

Turkey Helps.

No use to try to raise turkeys un'
less the poults are kept free from
lice. They should be examined at
least every ten days.
Give the turkey hen feed of grain
at night. If fed heavily in the morn
Ing she will not range SO far with the
youngsters as if she starts out to find
her own breakfast.
Many people say turkeys should be
restricted in their range but we do
not believe 1t We have raised many
turkeys and have always found that
the wider the range the better they
thrive.

AVOID DAMPNESS IN HOUSES
Usually Caused by Moisture Exhaled
by Fowls and Can Be Got Rid of
Only by Ventilation.

Often the poultry man finds his
poultry house covered with frost In
side and as the sun comes up and the
house warns it melts and makes the
whole building damp, uncomfortable
and unhealthful. In many cases the
owner tries to prevent this by max
ing the house warmer and cutting
down the ventilation. In most cases
this is just the opposite of what should
be done.
This dampness is usually caused by
the moisture exhaled by the birds and
can be got rid of only by thorough
ventilation. This means that certain
amount of fresh air must constantly
enter the house and pass out again,
To permit this without causing q
draft, an opening in the south side OF
the house should be covered with cot,
ton cloth This will not make the
temperature of the house much lower.
and 1t will make the house more COM
Portable and the hens more profitable.

Cause of Potato Failure,

Some of the things that cause the
failure of potato hills are poor soil,
improper preparation, poor seed, ir-
regular planting, poor cultivation,
bugs, diseases and poor weather Many
of these conditions are controllable;
all OF them may be influenced by prop
er methods OF culture.

Fruit for Home Use.

In pruning fruit trees for home use
let there be no varieties Of inferior
quality selected. There is nothing too
good for the home use. 1t is pleas
nre to hunt out these good things
and to take an interest In getting
them started In the home garden and
orchard.

Canada ThistIes.

II you have any Canada thistles or
quack grass on your farm, start early
to prevent them from growing above
the ground. Plants cannot gather food
without the tops to change the plant
food to plant tissue, and by keeping
the tops cut off you can gradually
starve them out

utensils clean Use only good salt.
This is an exceedingly important mat
ter. A good way to test 1t is to dis
solve some in hot water. If the salt
has a bad flavor it will be easily de-
tected. Sometimes sediment will be
seen in the bottom of the vessel. A
bad odor in butter many times Is
caused by the use of poor salt,

Sort the Apples,

If apples in the bin or storage cell
lar are assorted occasionally and the
rotten and speckled apples thrown
out, it will lessen the number of dis
ease spores among the good apples
and check decay. These spores are
produced from a fungus which pro.
duces rot.
