Dyck moved and spoke like man

stracted him from life's monotonous
routine. He had to consider the chance
of never leaving the grounds alive; yet
MS he entered the place, where smooth
grass between the trees made good
footing for the work TO be done, the
thrill of the greenery, the sound of the
birds, the flick of a lizard across the

three others, played cards one after
noon.
The instructive antipathy which had
marked their first introduction was car

Poisonous Fumes in Workshop.

The village smithy and the plumb er's or tinsmiths shop may be not so harmless as they have been supposed. From researches of more than a quar- ter of a century, pr. James Gardner, English health officer, concludes that nearly invisible hot fumes, spreading from the chimneys of these workshops. carry a considerable charge of ben gene and napthalene, with manganese and other metallic pOisons; and that the inhalation of these vapOrs tends to affect the skin and respiratory and nervous systems. The eventual result may be some form of skin dis ease, rheumatism, pneumonia or e7en cancer. Collecting the poisonous ma terial in a cup or hood for the chim- ney is a suggested remedy.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get a medium or large size bottle im- mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.

point the farm is put on a business basis.
 In doing this, however, the home side of the question must always be kept in mind. The farm home and the farm business are inseparable. A desirable farm, from a business standpoint, is nevertheless undesir- able if it has no social or community advantages. On the other hand, desir- able living conditions are of little or no advantage unless accompanied by a successful farm business.
 A farm may have fine buildings. good water supply, excellent roads. and other such assets, yet if the soil is rocky, shallow, or naturally in- fertile, so that its productive possi- bilities are distinctly limited, there will be no adequate income for en- toying the other advantages. More over, these physical limitations are enduring, while the needed improve ments, such as buildings and roads, can be added as means are provided.

Eorelun Wheat Yields.

The wheat yield of Australia is ex- pected to be between 125,000,O00 and 130,O00,OO0 bushels, of which 100000 900 are available for export. The cur rent yield is the largest since 1916-17, although not the record year. The latest estimate for the 192O-21 wheat crop of India gives the total at 23,60O,- GOO acres, as against 28,6O0,000 acres for the corresponding forecast of last year. The yield will be very much smaller prOpOrtionately than last year.

 Standard containers for marketing fruits and vegetables are of more in- terest to the average citizen than he generally realizes. Not only is he de frauded frequently by the substitution of short-measure packages at the full measure price, which is Inevitable if the difference in the size of the pack ages is not easily detected, but also the cost of marketing is increased by the greater expense of manufacturing large number of unnecessary styles and sizes and by breakage in transit, sometimes directly attributable to the difficulty of loading odd-sized con tainers. These losses constitute an unnecessary tax on the fruit and vegetable industry that the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, is endeavor.ag to cut down by fostering the use of stand ard containers.
 Od-Time Units Cause Confusion.
 Local package units that came into use long ago are most largely re- sponsible for present difficulties. Such packages may have been satis- factory when their use was confined to a limited territory, but of late years rapid transportation and the use of special refrigerator and ventilatOr cars have brought the products of every section of this country into our great marketing centers, where the di- versity of styles and sizes of contain CTS have resulted in unnecessary con- fusion.
 There are in common use today about 40 sizes of cabbage crates. 20 styles of celery crates, 30 lettuce crates or boxes, 50 styles and sizes of hampers, 15 styles and sizes of round slave baskets, and market bas- kets, varying in size from l to A quarts, whereas relatively few stand ard sizes would satisfy all the de mands of the trade.
 The unfair competition of short measure containers has been another unsatisfactory factor. Certain shrewd packers have found that by slight notifications in the shape of pack ages the cubical contents can be re- duced substantially without noticeably affecting the appearance.
 Short-MeasUre Package.
 Commodities sold in these contain CTS can be offered at lower price per package than those sold in standard packages, but the price by unit of weight Is. of course, higher. Often this has caused the general adoption of the short-measure package, and there is no end to this procedure, for once the short measure is recognized as the standard a still shorter one is put out by an unscruplOus minority
 The six-quart market basket, the 14quart peach basket, the seven eighths-bushel bean hamper. and the f1ve-peck lettuce hamper are easily

confused with peck, half-bushel, bush- el and 11a-bushel baskets.
 Another factor which has caused the addition of many unnecessary packages is the lack of a unit which is accepted as the basis for all pack age standards. If a manufacturer wishes to introduce a crate into a pro- ducing section normally using the bar rel instead of using the bushel unit, the tendency is to offer a barrel crate or half-barrel crate. At the pres ent time the crates and boxes are be- ing manufactured in sizes based on the United States standard barrel (105 quarts) with its subdivisions, the United States cranberry barrel (86 45-64 quarts) with its subdivisions. the weight bushel, the heaped bushel, and the volume bushel. These different standards are used because of compet- ing packages.

 The result may be seen by a glance at the following table:

 A standard unit of measure should be permanent, definite, and of fixed and uniform value. The heaped bushel, which is in common use, is far from being fixed, and in many instances the heap has practically disappeared, say specialists of the bureau of mar kets. A proper heap has never been defined by congress, and in those states where an attempt has been made to describe the manner in which the measure should be heaped the phra- seOlogy generally is vague and indefi- nite. The heap has been referred to as cone, the base being the top of the measure, and the height depend ing upon the nature of the article when piled "as high as may be with out special effort or design" Such vegetables as sweet potatoes under this definition might be piled so high that the heap would be as large as the measure itself.
 In view of the difficulties which are necessarily encountered in attempting to secure a uniform method of filling or packing standard containers, it is generally recognized that weight is the only really definite basis of sale, and for that reason the pound or hundredweight should be used where this is practicable. An exception may be noted in regard to products which are carefully graded as to size, in which case the sales may be made Satisfac- tOrily by numerical count.
