REDUCE LOSSES IN SHIPPING
Moro Careful Handling In Harvesting
and Packing Spinach ls Urged
by Specialists.

Losses in long distance shipments
Of spinach can be greatly reduced by
careful handling in harvesting and
packing together with effective re-
frigeration in transit, according to
specialists Of the bureau of markets
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Decay and deterioration
in transit caused by the development
of Shiny soft rot cause serious losses
to shippers in some sections.
"This decay develops rapidly In
transit when temperature conditions
are favorable" say investigators Of
the bureau. 1T starts at places where
the leaves have been bruised or
wounded. and it very frequently fol.
lows attacks of blight or other field
diseases. Other causes of deteriora-
ton in transit are following and wilt
ing Of the leaves. Prompt handling
and shipment at low temperature
largely reduce losses from these
causes"
When barrels are used, it Is advis-
able to scatter crushed ice in several
layers through the container, large
layer being placed on top of the spin.
ach next to the barrel head. Holes
bored in the bottom of the barrel pro-
vide drainage. Shipments in baskets
or crates carry best with layer of
crushed ice in the center of the con.
tainer and another layer on top OF
the spinach just under the cover.

CHIEF CAUSE OF sWARMINe
Lack of Ventilation and Space for
Queen Bee to Lay Eggs En-
courage RestIessness.

The main causes leading to swarm
ing are lack Of ventilation. lack Of
space for the queen bee to lay eggs,
insufficient room for storing honey.
and over-abundance of drones or a
queen bee that has become too old.
To prevent swarming therefore. these
conditions must be avoided, suggests
the Extension Service Bookkeeping
specialist. The queen alone is normal
ly capable of laying eggs, and fol-
this reason swarming is necessary to
make new colonies and perpetuate the
race. The old queen always comes
out with the first swarm

plan to have two men working together
to round up the lunches, since more
can be accomplished than when each
works alone
1t is waste Of time to pitch hay
onto small hayrack on high-wheeled
wagon. Use large hayrack on
low-wheeled wagon.
Loading hay with pichforks Is the
hardest, slowest, and most expensive
way. The men are working constantly.
but the horses are doing nothing most
of the time. If loader is used, the
hardest part Of the work Is done by
the horses and the men can handle
about 30 per cent more hay.
Save Labor on the Stack.
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method Of hauling hay to
the stack, barn, or hay press If the
distance is not much more than one
fourth of mile. One man, or boy,
with good push rake and a team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with a
small rack on high-wheeled wagon.
Stacking hay with push rake and
IN overshot stacker mounted on wheels
eliminates nearly all Of the back
breaking work of the old pitchfork
method. With yield OF one to ono
and half tons to the acre, two men
on the stack can easily handle ali the
hay brought in by three push rakes,
accomplishing vast saving in labor
and hay over the pitchfork method.
Another method not so good but still
vastly better than the pitchfork method
is stacker equipment with double
harpoon fork. The outfit can be made
at home and will cost very little COM
pared with the labor it saves, but
harder work is necessary to get the
hay on the stack than with the over
shot stacker.
When hay is to be baled from the
field, one man by working in the after
noon. can round up enough hay which
has been punched BY push rakes to
keep the press going next morning
until the dew is gone from the hay In
the windrow. When the hay is not
thus rounded up the crew will lose
two hours or more on mornings when
there is a heavy dew.
Carelessness in setting the press may
result in loss Of labor. When the press
is properly set two men can get
plenty of hay to 1t from the stack.

BIRDS AS STREET CLEANERS
vultures Employed for the Purpose in

Garbage collectors in Costa Rica en-
Joy their occupation. because they eat

lows:
II was awakened on the first morn
ing In town by u sound of wheels in
the street below, and looked out. 1t
was an impressive sight. The garbage
man was abroad on his scavenging
rounds. Ahead of his open wagon
walked in sober platoon four enor-
nous vultures, all in sable and MAIN
tanning the chastened demeanor of un-
dertakers at an open grave. Behind
the wagon walked half dozen other
vultures similarly sedate. And around
the rim of the cart. perched in SOL
emn row, sat twenty-one other birds
of the same species and same somber
hue. l would fain have immortalized
the scene, but the camera. alas, wasn't

Harvey Maitland Watts, Philodel-

art matters is quite incredible. The
wife Of new rich profiteer was buy

Line the Linoleum.

When purchasing linoleum for the
floor it is good idea to order lin
ing Of felt. This precaution will
probably prolong the use of the lin
oleum. 1t also deadens sound and
makes the floor warmer in winter. 1t
prevents the linoleum from expanding
or contracting and it gives a softer
tread, all advantages worth consider
ing.

too much time talking when they stop
occasionally to let the teams rest. A
good practice when two or more ma
chimes are used is for each driver
to lay of "land" for himself and
work Independently, SO there will be
no interference from other machines.
Side Delivery Rake Is Best.
Do not turn hay by hand. 1t is too
costly. The cheapest and most efficient
way Of stirring hay In the windrow is
with two-horse tedder. One man
with tedder will do more work than
12 men stirring with hand. forks. 1t
is not even necessary to have man
to run the tedder. A boy big enough
to drive team will do just as much
work.
one-horse rake operated by man
makes raking very costly. A two-horse
sulky rake Is better but the side-de-
livery rake Is best. When curing is
done in the swath and hay loader
Is used, the crew can start taking the
hay from the windrow as soon as the
side delivery has made one double win
drow across the field. If the sulky
rake is used, the crew will have to
wait until the rake has gone several
times across the field. In this matter
the extent Of the haying operations has
to be considered. of course. On very
small farms the use of the side.de-
livery rake might not be economy.
II the weather is clear and the hay
Is in proper condition, there will be
no necessity for hay caps or for
further labor till the hay Us hauled.
But hay caps will pay for themselves
in one year when the weather is bad.
They are more especially needed with
clover, alfalfa. and pea vines, all of
which cure slowly.
If hay is to be punched. the hand
method is too expensive. A two-horse
sulky rake can bunch 30 acres or more
day and boy can drive it just as
we'll as man. Even more labor can
be saved. however, by using the push
rake to bunch hay after 1t has been
raked Into the windrow. 1t is good
