Charles Schwab, the steel king, WAS

ing pair of ragged, decrepit looking
gloves. To every appearance they
might have been a little token to the
magnate from the ash man. BE

ton by Mr.. Schwab that he had
worn these gloves for over year.
Mr.. Schwab's boast doesn't ring
sincerely. He probably would not nd
wise one OF the rising young execu-
tives of his company to wear old
gloves or soiled. gloves. On the con-
trary, he likely would call down
that young executive for doing exact

Sends Orders by Bird Posts.

The son of an English grocer is
employed by his father. and his prln-
eipal duty is to make four hour
trip around the country and take
orders from various patrons. This
he does in an automobile and in
order that there shall be no delay In
the deliveries he takes with him a
half dozen homing pigeons. Obtain
ing a bunch Of orders, he secures the
slips to one OF the birds and starts it
home. The result Is that when he
has completed his tour, most of the
orders have been put up and de-
livered.

French Pension Practice curtailed.
France, where 1t is the custom to
pay pensions to the descendants of
original pensioners until the line ex-
pires, still pays q pension to. the
D'Assas family, whose forefather sac
rificed his life on the eve OF the battle
OF Klosterkamp In 1850 to keep the
French army from being surprised.
1t. also pays seventy eight pensions
that date from the first empire to de-
scendants OF the last La Boissiere de
Chambord 5000 livres year until his
death a few months ago, because a
dauphin OF France killed one Of his
ancestors, and until recently It paid a
pension to the descendants Of Mont
calm. But the tremendous pension
list which IL tho more surprising be-
cause. Of the traditional thrift Of the
French, now has attracted the atten-
ton Of economical legislators, and IL
likely to be much curtailed.

making selection the apple grower
must determine which machine has a
capacity proportlonate to the size Of
his orchard and can be operated eco
nomically. The apple grower raising
any considerable quantity Of fruit
should give careful attention to the
advantages OF mechanical conveyors,
which save great amount Of labor
both in handling loose fruit and light
packages.
Not n little Importance Is to be at
tached to the method OF packing the
barrel. Because the trade customarily
demands an attractive pack, the bet

should remember that the general
quality and size should conform to
the grade In the rest Of the barrel.

BEST OPERATION OF
THRASHING MACHINE
Time and Grain Can Be Saved by
Proper Adjustment.
Careless Operator Who Doesn't Know
Different Parts Is Compelled to
Make Frequent Stops for
Needed Repairs.

Even with the most efficient opera
tion OF thrashing machines under the
best field conditions IL Is probably not
possible to save all the wheat, say
specialists of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. The careless OPP
orator, however, who does not know
what the different parts OF the ma
chine are for, or who does not watch
them closely while the separator is
running, may waste a great amount OF
grain unnecessarily. He will surely
have to make frequent stops for re-
pairs and adjustments. Every time a
machine stops the whole crew, usually
several men and teams, must be idle
until II starts again, a loss of time TO
everybody concerned.
The waste of grain through ineffl-
Client operation OF the thrashlng ma
chimes. though possibly not serious
matter to the individual farmer, is a
matte! of perhaps millions of bushels
10 the nation as whole. When we
consider that there are 6OO0,0O0 farms
in the United States, II is evident that
a waste of only a bushel set would
be an enormous loss In the aggregate.
Any standard thrashing machine
will do Its work with little waste of
grain or loss Of time II kept in good
condition, adjusted properly for the
particular job on which II is engaged
furnished with the proper amount Of
power applied correctly. and watched
intelllgently while in operation. Never
theless, It is true that great deal

grain wasted unnecessarily In thrash

facturers have endeavored to make

with the idea of having the construc-
tion such that they will give mini
mum OF trouble and do satisfactory
work. However, there are so many
parts TO thrashing machine that 1t
requires careful attention at all times,
and II must work under such wide
range OF conditions that numerous ad-
justments must be left for the opera
tor to make In the field.

IN SELECTING FARM
SCAN IT CAREFULLY
Idle Land May Be Liability IN
stead of Asset.
Avoid Large Areas Without Utility on
Account Of Streams, swamps, or
Rough, Stony Places Not Suit
able Even for Pasture.

In selecting n farm often too little
attention is given to the condition OF
the soil and the lay of the fields with
reference to ease of cultivation. Crop
land In itself is OF little value unless
II Is so situated that 1t can be made
TO yield profitable returns through the
use of labor and machinery. A farm
OF 160 acres valued at 500 per acre
may be much better bargain If prac-
tically all of the land can be put to
some profitable use than another farm
OF 16O acres purchasable at $50 per
acre of which large areas are practi-
cally without utility owing to streams,
swamps which cannot be drained, or
rough, stony areas not suitable even
for pasture.
II is essential, therefore, that not
the total area as conveyed by the deed
or contract be considered, but the area
available for profitable use. Any ad-
ditional land may be really liability
Instead of an asset, since very often
the returns are not even sufficient to
pay the taxes. great many mistakes
are made on this point alone, the buy
er frequently thinking that he can crop
the land In one way or another. but
later finding that conditions are such
that 1t Is more profitable TO permit 1t
to grow up to brush or woods than to
attempt to cultivate 1t.

tons to the prospective buyer. The

Parcel posting eggs has long since
passed the experimental stage. Its
practicablllty IL demonstrated by the
fact that more parcels of eggs pass
through the mails than of any other
product.
While the great bulk Of eggs which
come from distant producing territory
will continue to be shipped by other
methods, II is no doubt true that many
cities can be supplied with a consd-
cradle portion of their fresh eggs from
within the first and second zones by
parcel post to the advantage Of both
producer and consumer. BY such d.
rect contact the producer should Sc
cure better prices for his eggs than
are realized by present methods of
marketing and the consumer should
obtain fresher quality at no in
creased cost, or, frequently, even at
a reduction in price.
Packing Eggs for Shipment.
Eggs for direct marketing, II the
trade requires IL or II IL can be done
my bt
assorted as to size and color. Eggs
irregular In shape, those which are
unusually long or thin shelled, or
which have shells otherwise defective,
should be kept by the producer for
home use, so that breakage in transit
may be reduced as much as possible.
Regardless OF the particular style
or design of the container used. each
egg should be wrapped according to
parcel post requirements so that II
will not shake about. Soft wrapping
paper or newspaper should be used
around each egg, marketing experts Of
the United States department of agri-
culture suggest. Should the eggs shake
about In the container, the danger of
breakage in handling is increased.
Average Weight Of Eggs.
Average hens eggs will weigh about
one and half pounds to the dozen. or
two ounces apiece. The weight Of a
single dozen of eggs in a carton prop
erly packed and wrapped for mailing
will run from two to three pounds, de-

parts rhubarb and one part raspber-
ries with equal weights of sugar. all
cooked until thick. Any fruit such as
Strawberries cherries or blackberries
may be used In the same proportion.
When one has plenty of pieplant and
few berries this method is especially
ly plentiful and cheap, while the ber-
rles are more costly. The product
seems to be so largely the berries In
flavor that the rhubarb only adds in
bulk.

barb, four oranges, two pounds OF raj
