WELL CALLED AGE OF GLASS
Compilation of Few Facts Shows
How Dependent This Generation
Is on That Material.

Without glass elderly persons would
be unable to read or sew, short-sight-
ed persons would go about almost
blind. Without glass we should know
nothing more about the stars than
was known by the ancients, nothing
about the structure of matter, and we
should not even suspect the existence
of microbes.
Without glass we should have no
photographs, no moving pictures and
no Illustrations in our newspapers.
Without glass we could have no cleo
trio light bulbs, no X-rays, no cOlored
windows in our churches, no thermOm-
eters or barOmeters.
Without glass chemists would use
porcelain containers, we should drink
out of metal or china mugs, we should
let the light into our houses through
sheets of mica

can, "has been known from antiquity,

recent. This has been spoken of as

PROPER STORAGE FOR FRUIT
Sunshine, Fresh Air and Whitewash
Are Important Aids for Abso-
lutte Cleanliness.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The first requisite of a storage place
for fruit is absolute cleanliness. This
cannot be assured by soap and water
alone. Sunshine, fresh air and white
wash are important aids. The shelves
should be washed clean and then dried,
but undue use OF water should be
avoided, as moisture is one Of the
chief requisites Of mold growth. A
cellar may be kept dry by placing in
1t dishes of unslaked lime, which rap
idly takes up the moisture. When the
lime crumbles apart, losing entirely its
crystalline character, it has become
'slaked'' and will take up no more wa
ter unless it is renewed. Growth of
most molds is retarded by light, ven
tilatiOn and low temperature. A fruit
cellar which will successfully keep
fruit must possess all three condi-
tons.

Gus of building up a retail trade in
nearby town or city. is found in the
organization of cooperative motor
truck route perfected by a group of
farmers near Baltimore, in Hartford
county, Maryland. Shipping by motor
truck has saved much valuable time
for the co-OperatOrs. Previously they
were obliged to take milk shipments
to the railroad shipping points. Ex-
cept for those more. fayorably located,
this usually meant the loss Of the
services of a man and team two to
five hours every day. At present the
co-operators' trucks pass the doors of
many of the farmers each day and
pick up their milk and produce. Those
living back from the main highway
bring their products to the highway
only. This saves considerable time.
Full particulars regarding the manage
ment of this truck route are contained
in Farmers Bulletin No. 1892, copies
of which may be had by addressing a
request TO the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

1t is recognized that preparation of
the car in the manner indicated in

sissippi is to permit the return OF lin

charge. In other regions the regular
freight rate usually is charged. An
effort is now being made to have an
arrangement, similar to that existing
in Maine, applicable throughout the
country, and where the car lining and
stove are removed it has been recon-
mended that the railroads return them
to the shipper at One-half fourth-class
rate.

Indexing counties as to dominant
breed Of live stock maintained, through
the use of county breed directories,
has won great favor in Iowa, where
several years ago Linn county inaugu-
rated this work. Such catalogues are
valuable in identifying the owners Of
different breeds and are effective in
promoting sales and in attracting
prospective purchasers to the locality.
They constitute a relatively perma-
nent form of advertising, as ordinar-
lily they are kept for future reference
by those who receive them. The di-
rectories are best issued under the
authority of a county live stock breed
ers association or the local farm bu-
reau. Ordinarily the expenses Of these
booklets are raised by the sale of ad-
yertising space to breeders. Practi-

Mutton lambs are sure sale at good
prices.
Use the best boar that you can
secure.
Keep the fall pigs growing all
through the winter.
ParasiticaI diseases of sheep are
hard to fight and overcome.
Weak lambs should be nursed and
given extra care and a little extra
milk.
Arrange to have the sows farrow
early. The early pigs have the adj
vantage Of a better market.
A fair allowance Of grain before and
during the breeding season is essen
tia1 to insure a good, rugged crop Of
lambs next spring.
Ewes that are expected to raise
lambs should have a full mouth and
be otherwise in good condition, in or
der TO produce strong, healthy lambs.
Feeding tests have recently been
completed which have shown that
there is a great loss OF feed each year
from allowing hogs In the feed lot to

Community breeding simply means
that the farmers in a certain COM

First, to breed but one breed of cat

Second: They agree to use none but
purebred sires, these sireS being own
ed either individually or collectively.
Everyone is absolutely free to do as
he pleases just so long as he sticks to
one class of stock and uses a purebred
sire. These ideas can best be carried
