Unmarketable Fruit. The United States Department of Agriculture has prepared a bulletin showing bow all unmarketable fruit may bo utilized with profit, and evap oration Is the best method of hand ling It. There la a good market for evaporated stock and It would pay the larger producer of fruit to build an I evaporating plant and make use of his surplus stock. Year after year a large part of the crop Is allowed to go to woxte through lack of some means to properly utilize It. The fallen ap ples are usually allowed to lie on the ground and rot. while fruit that Is notlaa lt (Un8 for tne vcry fine8t one9. nurae.ao.n . .,.o "".

Iearn about poultry and put the knowledge obtained to actual use. The prime object of cultivation I to render the soli loose and light. Usually fresh laid eggs will hatch a little siKiner than those kept for come time. We have made greater progress In the growing of fruit than we have In marketing It. Wood ashes will help to make the strawberries moro firm because they furnlxh potash. I'liiui trees make a dlscouraglngly slow growth some years, but a large groth other year. Hones, old leather, refuse plaster and soapsuds all constitute good fer tilizer for the fruit trees. The plan of carefully sorting the fruit In a poor crop year Is Just as correct as In a good one. ' (lather up all brush and promptly burn It. thus killing millions of fung us germs and Insect eggs. It all right for tho farmer to quit milking cows when he Is so rich that he doesn't need the money, but not before, Do not plant big blocks of any one variety of fruit. Mixed plantings of different kinds help the trees to fer tlllzo each other's blossoms. Don't buy a cow until you have tested her by milking her more than once. Selling cows and trading horses are deals that try men's morals When transplanting many trees are lost by neglecting the proper cutting back, thus leaving too much work for the crippled roots to accomplish. White cows Inherit tho propensity to clve large or small quantities of milk, still the quantity will be var ied greatly by the treatment to which they are subjected. It takes the farm work and the farm conditions to successfully raise disft horse with grain feed and handling for maturlay and Jhe devel opment of draft horse size. In nearly alt cases It Is best to se led tho young brood sows from the spring or early summer litters Inso much as they are better developed than those of winter litters The feed and care necessary to ralso a poor horse costs Just as much Tlia oniy difference In their cost Is In the blood of the sire and dam Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds of exhausted soil. The trees will make a growth of leaves and wood on poor land, but they require mineral manure to perfect the fruit. With proper care, blackberry and raspberry plantations should be prof itable for five years, and some have dono well for ten years. Disease usu ally weakens the plants after Ave years, and necessitates making new plantations. Soils poorly drained, and so long holding stagnat water, often In this way damage and finally destroy roots, thus causing the plants to perish, Hants suffer for want of oxygen when the air cannot get to their roots One 8orlous objection to plowing plum and cherry orchards Is that every time a root Is cut or bruised It starts a growth of suckers that you will find very difficult to handle and they are Injurious to the trees. Aban don plowing these kinds of fruit and give them shallow cultivation. The urine of sheep contains a con siderable amount of nitrogen, and their manure, In addition to being very valuable, Is more beneficial to the soil than that of other live stock owing to the manner In which It Is I distributed bescattered equally over j the ground in small quantities, and I thus trampled into the soil by the flock. I Thes heavy harness horse Is In ' creasing In popularity and in market demand, and the hetter class of trot , tlngbred mares that have breeding I and quality are being bred to the I largo, handsome coach Btalllons pro i duclng colts that mature up to the i highest prices with tho demand un limited. Yes, Oregon is one of the greatest i poultry countries in the United States I but the population and demand Is in- creasing more rapidly than the egg production, so that a good part of the i time wholesale merchants are hand ling carloads of Eastern eggs. Farm ers need ta devlte still more time to the poultry business. Caught by the Picture of People Who Art Talked About and Short Stories Concerning Them. Geortfe Could' Teat.

She might be somewhat excused, however. If the adulation she has received abroad had rather turned her head.

An Incident of the November elec tion waa the defeat for mayor of Me tuchen, N. J., of Dr. Charles M. Free man.

Politic and literature were both slightly mixed In the election, for Dr. Freeman, who Is a Republican, ran on the Democratic tick et arid received 197 votes, while the bead of the Republican ticket received 224.

He was a disciple of the late Mayor "Gold en Rule" Jones and on the latter' death Inherited his mantle. He still writes, and he baa the advantage when discussing matters pertaining to gov ernment and sociology of being able to speak from an experience gaiued in dally contact with such problems. The mayor ran on a Golden Rule platform this time, just as be did before. The victory of the Trlnceton football eleveu over the Carlisle Indian team was In no small degree due to the ter rific line smashing play of the gallant Princeton captain, J. H. McCormlck. His position in the Tiger eleven is that of fullback. Shortly after the game waa culled McCormlck lifted the ball from a little tee at mldfield and sent it whirling end over end to the Indians' five yard line. The Indian player Mount Pleasant leaped ahead, caught the slippery leather on the fly and dash ed headlong over the slimy field eight yards toward his opponents' bars be fore he was brought down by the on ward avalanche of orange and black, forward. Offside play, however, caused by Prince ton's overeagerness to get into the scrimmage, cost her a five yard penalty and forced McCor CAPTArx J. H. M'CORUICK. mlck to kick off once again. The pale face fullback, wrote a witness of the incident "booted the pigskin once more to Carlisle's five yard mark, where the ever alert Mount Pleusaut picked it up and trickled through the onrushiug Tigers like wctr through a man's fin gers. On he sped for twenty yards, placing the spheroid on his own twenty-five yard Hue division." Later in the game McCormlck show ed his grent line bucklug ability by, driving slam bung through the totter ing Indian Hue to mldGekl for a gala of twenty yards. u u.
