HOW TO SHIP NEW POTATOES
Prevent Losses by Loading Them Care
fully Into Cars--Double-He
Barrel Is Good.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Shifting of the loads In transit, weak
and partly filed packages, and lack of
ventilation are responsible for losses
In many cars of new potatoes which
are arriving at markets. The loading
of diseased potatoes is also responsible
for considerable loss. In some cases
shipments that show scab wilt or late
blight are practically worthless when
they reach the market.
The double-headed barrel appears to
be the best package for new potatoes
that is now in general use. If proper
ly made 1t protects the potatoes as
well as holds them In place. Much
less breakage has been found in cars
where the barrels are loaded on end
than when loaded on their bilge. Strips
should be placed on top of the lower
layers of barrels for the upper layers
forrest upon.
Loading barrels on their bilge is not
safe practice unless headIiners
{strips to prevent heads bulging) are
used. 1t Is said that the use of head
liners would prevent mir G. tenths Of the

RESENTED TRIBUTE TO, DEFY
Jefferson's Action In TripolI Set Ex-
ample That Was Followed by All
Christian Natlons.

The first treaty with Algiers, which
was negotiated during Washlngton's
administration, cost the United States,
for the ransom of American captiyes,
81 Co., 900, in addition to which an an
nuity was promised. In 1900 Presl-
dent Adams claimed that the United
States had to pay three times the trib-
ute imposed upon Sweden and Den
mark.
But this temporizing policy only
made matters worse. Captain Balm
bridge arrived In Algiers, bearing the
annual tribute for the dey In a ma
tional frigate. and the dey ordered
him to proceed to Constantinople to
deliver Algerian dispatches. English,
French and Spanish ships of war have
done the same thing" said the dey In
solently, when cambridge and the
American consul demonstrated. you
pay me tribute because you are my
slaves" replied the dey, who was play
ing the role assumed In later years by
the kaiser. Jefferson had expressed
his detestation of the method hitherto
favored for pacifying these pests OF
commerce; and, availing himself of the
present opportunity. he sent on Com
modore Dale with a squadron of three
frigates and a sloop of war to make a
naval demonstration on the Barbary
coast. The Barbary powers were for
a time overawed, and the United
States thus set the first example
among the Christian nations OF
making reprisals instead of ransom,
the rule Of security against these ma
RAIDERS. Tripoli declared war against
the United States June 10, 1901.

KEEP SHEEP FLOCK
TO CONTROL WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
One of the best and cheapest
ways to control weeds on farms
Is to keep flock Of sheep. In
addition to controlling weeds
without cost, sheep will render
profit by producing nutritious
food and wool, and will assist
materially in meeting demands
on the nation for meat and wool
production. If weeds are not
permitted to grow and develop
leaves they will die, but it
would require great amount
of hard labor to keep most
weeds under control by this
method. Sheep will keep the
weeds down and the more
weeds they eat the less will be
their cost of upkeep, and the
greater will be the supply of
food released for other stock.
Many rough or permanent grass
pastures that require moving
can be kept clean by the use of
sheep. while at the same time
the cattle-carrying capacity of
the pasture is increased.

barrels. Extra bracing is needed when
barrels are loaded on their bilge.
The sack is not suitable container
for tender new potatoes; it offers no
protection from bruising and when
loaded Is hard to ventilate. II sacks
are to be used they should be Of no
greater capacity than 100 pounds. The
smaller sack could be handled with
much greater care and would lend it.
self to ventilation better.
Hampers are not suitable packages
for potatoes. They do not have the
necessary strength for the weight of
their contents and offer little protec-
ton. AS long as hampers are used for
potatoes and other heavy produce there
will be severe loss from breakage. If
used they should be loaded on end and
alternate baskets inverted. Great care
should be taken to make the load tight,
and no slack space should be allowed
of shifting.
Crates of various sorts are being
used, and appear satisfactory where
the strength of the crate'i is sufficient
for the weight of its contents. Weak
crates should not be used under any
circumstances, and crates with wide
openings tend to wilt the potatoes
while in transit. Crates must be load
ed tight and firm, and no slack space
left under any circumstances without
suitable bracing, while stripping is rec
commended.

Buy Larger Machinery.
Can all farmers afford to buy extra
horses and larger implements to save
man labor? OF course, those whose
farms require but one or two horses to
do the ordinary work can seldom af-
ford to do so. But such can secure
this additional help by combining to
purchase larger machinery, and doub-

farmers, besides his own, to the ad-
vantage Of all concerned. Both these
methods have been tried out in many
localities with mowers, harvesters,

farm machinery.
