GIVE PRODUCE BETTER CARE
More Attention Should Be Given to
Quality and Methods Of Packing
and Shipping.

With the present condition of heavy
production OF almost every farm COM
modify and high freight rates. the bu-
reau OF markets of the United States
Department of Agriculture advises
that greater care than ever should be
exercised as to the quality of produce
shipped by rail to markets and the
method OF packing and loading. Where
fruit or vegetables are OF inferior
grade or quality In any respect. the
farmer will do well to market near
by. within the truck radius, or store
for home consumption.
After the stark gets to a distant
market the shipper Is given protection
by the inspection service furnished by
the department at about 1870 principal
receiving points Of the United States.
This service costs $3.50 for a half
carload or less and 81 for full car
load II enables the shipper TO learn
the exact condition In which HIS pro-
duce reached the consignee by giving
the exact nature Of the decay or 9th
er defects, and gives him information
In regard to the best method OF mar

COMMON SALT IS DANGEROUS
Hogs and Chickens Are Very Suscepti.
BILE 10 Poisoning by Mineral
Instances Cited.

II should be borne In mind that
hogs and chickens are very SUSCEPTIBLE
to poisoning by common salt.
A lady emptied ice containing salt
from the Ice cream refrigerator In
the backyard. The chickens picked
up salt enough TO kill them.
A newly-wed made cake Of salt,
presuming 1t to be sugar. II was
thrown TO the chickens and killed all
Of them.
Pigs were allowed to Craze In a pas
ture with cattle where they had access
to salt lick: they licked the salt
ravenously and all but three of the
herd died.
Another case is reported where salt
brine was mistaken for sugarwater
and fed TO hogs with garbage: the pigs
were poisoned and died the following
day.
Salt poisoned hogs show no symp-
toms for several hours when they are
taken with dizziness increased thirst,
frothing at the mouth. diarrhea. and
vomiting. Keep salt away from hogs

eases have their origin In the soil or
in unclean bins. II is important,
therefore, that great care be taken
while digging and also while handling
the potatoes after placing them in
storage.
Potatoes badly bruised when dug
should not be placed In storage with
sound potatoes, since they are certain
TO rot and spread infection throughout
the bins. A field that has contained
blackleg, and which has not been
rogued, Is very likely to yield con-
siderable number of potatoes slightly
infested, at least with blackleg rot. If
these are placed in storage with sound
tubers they may be responsible for
large amounts of storage rot, especial.
ly If the potatoes are damaged when
being dug or after being placed in
storage.
Mr.. T0laas finds that large amount
of storage rots can be prevented by
placing the potatoes as soon as dug
In crates, which, when filed, can be
hauled TO the storage cellar and care
fully dumped wherever wanted. II
II is necessary to drop the potatoes
several feet much damage can be
avoided by providing a chute for low
ering them into the cellar.
Storage cellars, especially those
which contained lot of rotted pota.
toes the previous year. should be thor.
oughly disinfected with a strong solu-
tion of bluestone-one pound being
dissolved In ten gallons of water; or
formaldehyde, one pint In ten gallons
Of water, before the potatoes are put
away. Good ventilation with temporal
ture Of from 35 to 40 degrees Fahren-
heit win aid materially in keeping
down the loss from storage rots.
