lNEMSN hundred miles off the
|N4s18N coast of Ecuador, our
QAygy ship, while weathering
out storm on the mighty Pacific,
became disabled by losing one of
her masts, which made it necessary
for us to put into the city of Quay
aquil, Ecuador, to have new
main-mast stepped and general re-
pairs made which required about
three months.
During our stay in Ecuador, l
made several trips to Quito, the
capital of Ecuador, and other
nearby towns and places that were
interesting to me. Situated almost
on the Equator, Quito enjoys prob
ably the mildest climate of any
South American capital, for when
the tropical summer sets in at
Guayaquil, the weather is fine at
Quito.
Quito also enjoys the distinction
of being situated in one of the
prettiest of the Andean valleys,
and although at an elevation of
about 10000 feet, the whole of the
surrounding country is extensively
cultivated by the Indian popula-
ton. The journey from Guaya-
quill occupies two days; the train
does not run at night, and to my
mind it is the prettiest railway
trip in all South America.
AS contrast with the Andean
trip from Buenos Aires to VAL
paraiso, Chile, where the scenery
consists of deserts and rugged
mountain peaks, nothing more
marked could be imagined. Right
from the waters edge at Guaya.
quill the train runs through tropical
forests and vegetation. AS it
climbs the mountains, one passes
through cattle ranches, cocoa
groves, and then into thickly wood
ed valleys, until the mountain di-
vide is reached, which is nearly
1000 feet above sea level. From
then on the railway follows the top
of the Andes, varying in height
from 5000 to $4,000 feet, like a
great switch
The upper Andean slopes are
we'll wooded and almost every
where the valleys and slopes of the
mountains are cut up into small
farms and are cultivated by the
Indians. Hedges, streams, and
the greenest of green pasture, and
clover that is so beautiful that it
makes one wonder for the moment
if the train is not running through
some of our own country. But the
sight of the snow-capped volcanoes
and other giant sentinels soon dis
pei the illusion.
The interior of Ecuador is pic
turesque, beautiful and fertile, and
it is probably only the fact that
the little republic has adhered 50
tenaciously to the blood and gun
powder method that prevents this
highly favored and fertile country
from taking it's proper place in the
world. Politics there were ram
pant for many years. The govern
ments changed quickly and usually
with much violence. But most
happily in recent years the admin
istrations appear to be making
honest and successful efforts to-
wards restoring the country to
peace and prosperity.
! Cocoa, one of Ecuador's princi-
pal products, is at all times in
great demand and at high prices,
the country is also rich in minerals,
and the soil produces a variety of
crops which find a ready market.

effort to politically and economically

FARM APPLE STORAGE HINTS
Fruit Keeps Better Where Dipped in
Bordeaux Mixture-Prevents
Decay and Kills Fungi.

Dipping apples In bordeaux mixture
rauses them to keep better when stored
under farm conditions, according to ex-
periments conducted by the Vermont
experiment station. The effect of the
bordeaux mixture is to prevent decay,
which is does, no doubt, by killing the
fungi on the skin of the apples. This
treatment also helps to preserve the
flavor of the fruit. Copper sulphate,
lime water and parafiin were also used
as dips, but none were so effective as
bordeaux mixture. In these expert
ments various materials were used in
which to pack apples, including saw
dust, cork and paper. But most of the
materials, though keeping the fruit
cooler, impaired the flavor of the APP
pies and caused them to shrink. Hard
wood sawdust was the best Of the ma
terials used for packing. Apples kept
best when immersed in bordeaux mix
ture and then packed in hardwood saw
dust, but apples merely dipped in Dor
deaux mixture kept their flavor as well
or better.

DRESSING FOR THE ORCHARD
Their condition--Spread Manure
Evenly on Surface.

A proper dressing for the orchard,
just the right quantity, will depend
upon the age Of the trees and their
condition. II trees are large and have
been neglected, they will require more
than In the case Of young trees which
have had attention. To begin at the
beginning, young trees lately set in
rich soil need no manure, but after
eight or ten years. when they begin
to produce and there IL an evident de.
cline In vitality, feeding should begin.
The decline will be manifested by
slower growth and poorer quality Of
fruit. At this stage perhaps two wheel
barrow loads viii be sufficient for the
first application. And this should not
be piled up close about the tree, but be
spread out upon space as large as the
top Of the tree. 1t Is not necessary to
dig this manure into the soil. Leave

spread, SO that II will retard weed
growth and conserve moisture.

Spraying Pays.

hncared-fOr condition of such or
chards is too often revealed by the
great number of windfall fruits and
the inferiority OF that which remains
on the trees.
No single feature of orchard prac-
tice yields so high percentage Of
benefit as spraying, often increasing
the value of the product several hun
dred per cent. Every fruit grower,
large or small, has it within his power
TO save his fruit from loss by insect
and fungous pests, and thus add mate
rally to the food supply Of the ma
ton. Spraying is now recognized by
progressive growers as an exceedingly
cheap form of insurance, not only
protecting the fruit during the grow
ing season, but insuring its proper
keeping in storage.
