FRUITS FROZEN in TRANSIT
Enormous Losses Caused Annually by
Products Freezing While in Hands
of Railroads.

Enormous losses are caused annual
ly because large quantities of fruits
and vegetables are frozen in transit
Last winter shippers Of apples in three
tates-Oregon. Washington, and
Idaho-filed claims against railroads
amounting to over $3,O00.000 to cover
losses from freezing. To assist in re-
ducing such losses, the bureau of mar
kets, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, has distributed as widely as
possible information. relative to the
proper methods of loading and heating
both refrigerator and ordinary box
cars. Recently, as result. of inves

completed the design for heating equip

car, the specifications for which were
drawn up in this bureau. Experiments

.FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Whether Young Stock or Old Soft
Feeds Will Be Found to Be
Most Economical.

For the rapid fattening of market
fowls, whether young stock or Sold.
ground mashes ors"soft" feeds will be
found much more economical than
whole or cracked grains for the rea-
son that greater gains are made on
the former than ON the latter. While
corn is very valuable in a good fatten-
ing ration, or other grains containing
carbohydrates in large proportion, the
best experience has shown that it does
not pay to feed the fowls to be fat
tened on these grains alone. More or
less of balance" must be main
tanned In order to secure the best re-
suits, even in a fattening ration.
A very good fattening mash ration
is as follows: Fifty per cent corn
meal, % per cent wheat bran and %
per cent ground oats, to which is add
ed sufficient sweet milk to make a
moist, crumbly, but not sloppy, mix
ture. This is fed in clean pans sew
eral times day. Persuade the fowls
to eat as much as possible by feeding
little and feeding often. Some COM
mercial. feeders even use Ncramming'
machines to force the fowls to eat
greater quantities than their appe-
titles would normally lead them to
eat.

SOME JOB EVEN FOR MASTER
Real Genius Necessary for Actor to
Struggle Successfully With
That Combination.

I've got the very part for you-but
wonder whether you can really nan
age it," 4
Don't worry-tira away!" said the
actor. I've never been stumped yet
Good y exclaimed the manager
"Then / needn't worry. The part
want you to play is that of a French
man"
That's easy!"
Eyes, but he wasn't born in France
you see. He was born in Japan, OF
Irish parents. A year after he was
born he went to Norway, where he
was brought up by a Spaniard."
II see," inurmured the, actor. "I've
got to speak sort Of broken Spanish,
eh?"
NO, not exactly. The scene Of the
play is Italy, and the man is trying to
make German family believe that he
is Russian. Can you manage it?"

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotteng The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
The promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
"A prominent druggist says, '"Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q

and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.

Hints
CARING FOR NURSERY STOCK
Soon as Trees Arrive They Should
Be Heeled In and Carefully
Packed With Damp Soil.

Nursery stock is generally received
either packed in bundles and wrapped
In burlap. or, in the case Of large or
ders, tied in bundles and packed in
large boxes. In both cases the roots
are well packed with wet moss, excel
sior or other suitable material to keep
the roots from drying out while In
transit.
AS soon as the trees arrive, they
should be unpacked, and if for any
reason they cannot be planted at
once. they should be heeled in, ad.
vises A. NJ. Musser, associate horti-
culturist of Clemson college, in speak
ing of the care of nursery stock upon
arrival. If the trees are frozen on
arrival, they should be left in the
original box or bundle and placed in
a cellar or other suitable place that
will allow gradual thawing. If left
in the original package or bundle any
length of time, the packing material
around the roots dries out, the roots
also become dry and by the time they
are A1npacked are badly injured or en-
tirely worthless. Many times such in

of planting and the trees are set out
only to be found dead later-and the
grower has lost his time and money.
Keeling in consists of digging a
trench as wide as the roots are long,
with the bottom of the trench sloping
at an angle of 45 degrees, so that
when the trees are placed in the
trench the tops will stick out of the
ground at the same angle. This trench
should be dug in protected and we'll
drained place. In unpacking the trees
care should be taken not to get the
varieties mixed, and to spread them
thinly in the trench and cover the
roots with damp soil, at the same
time working damp soil in among the
roots and packing it well. If the soil
is dry, or the trees are to remain
heeled in very long, the soil should be
watered. When Whole bundles of
trees are placed in trench and not
spread out in a thin row. it is impos-
sible to get moist soil worked in
among all the roots. Consequently
many of the roots will dry out and
become SO weakened that many trees
will not live when set in the orchard.

spaced one inch apart at the upper end
and two inches apart at the lower end.
The Stats are about two inches wide,
slightly rounded at the corners and

The chute should be placed at the
proper angle to let the potatoes roll
down slowly, but steep enough to pre-
vent their piling up. The potatoes
should be pushed out Of the wagon box

FEED FOR SWINE, AND SHEEP
Potatoes Should Be Cooked and Fed
With Middlings, or Fish Meal
in Self-Feeders.

\ For feeding to swine, potatoes
should be cooked and fed with mid
dlings, tankage or fish meal in self
feeders. 1t. is especially important
that the potatoes be supplemented by
these protein feeds for growing shoats.
The self-feeder method is efficient as a
means of having the pigs fed potatoes
and protein feeds in correct proper
tions.
Potatoes may be fed in small guam
titles to sleep in, about the same way
as roots are fed to this class of ami
mails. The daily allowance should he
approximately one to three pounds per
mature sheep. Potatoes should be
used as succulent feed, together with
a regular ration of legume hay and
cheap roughage.- Extension Service.

MEASURES TO PREVENT RouP
Proper Management in Feeding and
Housing the Flock Are Of
Utmost Importance.

Roup,j contagious or infectious
disease affecting all classes of fowls,
can be prevented. says A. J. Durant
of the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture.
There are three forms of this dis
ease-one with swelling around the
eyeball and enlargement of the birds
head. Another is diphtheritic, show
ing cankerlike sores in the mouth and
throat. The third form of roup is the
so-called chickenpox. in which sores
or scabs form on the comb. wattles
and bare parts of the head.
Proper management inSfeedlps and
housing the flock are the most Ympor-
tant measures in the control of roup.
Bad cases of the disease should be
killed and burned.
