Chilean Grapes Imported.

An experimental shipment of grapes was sent from Chile to New York, with n view of ascertaining whether a market could be found in the United States for the product of the Chilean vineyards. The grapes were shipped in cold storage and are reported to have arrived In excellent condition. and to have been sold at highly sat isfactory prices. IL Is reported that another shipment Is planned as soon as arrangements can he made. The experiment is of particular interest, since 1t is possible that the exporta- tion of fresh fruit from Chile to the United States might become very profitable, providing shipping facill- ties were available. Chile produces fine fruit of almost every variety known to the temperate zone. and 1t ripens during the winter months In the United States. when the market would be at It's best.

NEED OF BUSINESS PRACTICE
Many Cooperative Associations Have Failed Because of Lack of Finan-
 cia System.

Lack of proper financial systems has been the cause of failures in many cooperative associations say special ists of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture. who feel that now Is an Opportune time for emphasizing the need of good business practice among farmers.
 The bureau of markets has much information on systems of accounts and business practice for cooperative associations, and either directly or through extension workers 1t Is pre- pared to give assistance In installing good accounting systems for cooper alive grain companies, cotton ware houses. country creameries, fruit shipping associations, egg circles, CO., operative cheese manufacturing and marketing associations and cooper alive grain elevators.
 Short courses of study in market ac- counting have been prepared and are used in number of colleges through out the country hnd are also given at field points where marketing as- sociatlonS are numerous. Systems of accounts are furnished upon request. and advice and assistance relative to their installation is given through cor respondence and by means of bulle- tins especially prepared for this pur- pose.

LIQUID MANURE IS HELPFUL
Of Particular Value In Garden When Vegetables Do Not Make
 Proper Growth.

American farmers. generally, are not familiar with the great value of liquid manure, and the way to apply it. It Is exceptionally helpful in the garden and especially when any par ticular vegetable Is not showing the proper growth. When any plants seem weak and standing still, an applica- tion of liquid manure once week for few weeks will work changes that will seem almost miraculous Liquid manure is a reviver of dying plants. for it supplies nutrition In an easily assimilated form. It may be easily provided, and should be provided for every garden.

born for 60 days or more before calving they usually received about b pounds of grain mixture F, 12 pounds of alfalfa hay and 9 pounds of corn Silage, a ration containing approM- mately four times as much protein and two and one-half times as much total nutriment as the routine ration fed to the dry cows of the general herd.
 The cows on test gave from 15,0O0 to 10000 pounds of milk iH the year; that is, three to four times as much as most of the COWS in the general herd A part of this larger yield Is due to the fact that the test cows were better bred, but a part also Is due to the larger quantity of feed they consumed, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in charge of the tests. How much of the increased milk yield to attribute to each of these factors is question Of great practical interest.

METHOD OF APPLYING LIME
by Using Manure Spreader With Bcater Reversed.

Lime may be applied either in the fall or spring. The proper method of application is important from an eco nomical standpoint. Scattering with q shovel Is wasteful and the distribu- tion cannot be uniform. The method used by some farmers with very good results is to reverse tie beater of the manure spreader by crossing the drive chains Then the apron may he covered with canvas to prevent the loss of the fine stone. With this method 1t is easy to get . uniform distribution <

PENS LONG USED
Writing Instruments Are of Great
 Antiquity.
Records Prove They Are as Old as the SWord-Con5tructed of
 Many Materials.

The pen is one of the oldest inStru ments men use Whether or not It Is mightier than the sword, as Bulwer Lyttou makes the great French cardi- nal exclaim in the play of "Richelieu," 1t is perhaps of as great antiquity as the sword. It is not as old as stone headed war clubs or stone axes, brA It seems to date back to the begin ming of mems Knowledge of metals and their alloys As soon as men got the idea of inscribing symbols on stones as representing things or words, they used an iron instrument which was the parent, or the ancestor, of the pen. There were pens of iron and bronze and reeds, and later the quillS of feathers.
 The Assyrian kings and scribes and the PhoeneCians 2ooo years before Christ proclaimed their dynaSties with decrees written with pens made from reeds and feathers. The early Greeks inscribed their letters with q stylus. but the later Greeks wrote with the quils of geese, crows, hawks and eagles Pens of brass and silver were in use in Rome at the beginning of the Christian era.
 The stylus with which many of the Greeks and Romans wrote was some thing like an iron bodkn and it came to be used SD often in hrawls that il was prohibited-that Is, men were prohibited to use a stylus. The bod kin in old English times was no doubt big darning or knitting needle and Hamlet had that instrument in mind when he said: "When he his quietuS might make with bare hodkin."
 There are various references in the Bible to pens. In the Book of Judges the fifth chapter and the fourteenth verse Is this: "Out of MaChir came down governors, and out of Zehulum they that handle the pen of the writer" In I Kings, the twenty first chapter In the matter of Ahab, Jeze- bel and Nahoth it is written: "So she i wrote letters in Ahah'S name, and sealed them with his seal and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nohles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth." Tn the nineteenth chap ter of Job, the twenty-third and twen- ty-fourth verses. Is this: "Oh that my words were now written, oh that they were printed in a book That they were Ngraven with ar iron pen and lead In rock forever" The eighth chapter of Isaiah begins, Take thee n great roll. and write in 1t with q man s pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash- bag" In the Third Epistle of John occurs this: "I had many things to write, but will not with Ink and pen 1 write to thee"
 ! Pens of steel, gold and silver ap- peared in Great Britain, France and America about 1900 but they were very slow in gaining favor They were expensive, clumsy and not as satisfactory as the quill. But the quill had reached the limit in the nicety with which it could be pointed and the gold and steel pens continued to be improved In their smoothness and fexibility The first fountain pen was patented about 1S2O and the number of patents granted on foun tain pens now reaches Into the thou sands.

 The effect of too much moisture is readily apparent in farming wet area. although persons not acquainted with drainage do not always recognize the presence of too much water in soils that are not saturated, say spe- clalists of United States Department of Agriculture The low part of the planting as early in the spring as the higher parts hence. unless the spot is to be abandoned. the farmer either must finish the task another day or leave the whole until such time as the wet place can be worked Plant ing on all or part of the field is then delayed frequently seven to ten days later than on land better drained.
