Under ordinary circumstances your crop must bo sold ns It matures, and since Mr. Smith's plums nro sure to ' get rlpo tho samo week as your own tho market Is going to bo oversupplled, and as n result prices will be low. j Just hero Is whero the cold storugo proposition comes In. By storing fruit In tho cooler it is In good condition for tho mnrket when you go early tho next morning, or if picked green enough It may bo kept for weeks or even, months. In moro Instances than one prices havo doubled and oven tripled from tho tlmo stuff was put Into tho cooler and when It was finally taken out to bo sold. Take an actunl example Ilartlett pcarB wero selling at ) cents a bnRkot, and, having Just picked about a hundred baskets, we wero reluctant to part with them at thnt price. They wero still fairly green, but nevertheless fully grown. It was no troublo at all to store them way In the cooler and forget them for live or six weeks, then sell them for high prices. It Is Invariably safe to bank on one thing, which Is that people will want u thing when they can't net 1L Tlw.v want plums before they arc rlpo or ofler they arc gone. Wo cannot raise suitable varieties early enough to BUit them, but we can keep what we do raise In tho cooler. Tho maintenance of a cooler Is not i much of an expense. There are ponds or lakes near every form, and the Ice may be drawn to a nearby I'chousc. The bay and tho Ice crops seldom In terfere. Tho horses will need a few days exercise, and the men are not usually overburdened with work. Where Ico Is hurd to got u refrigera tion plant Is sometimes less expensive. How much easier it is to sell a bushel of peas after they have had n night's refreshing rest In the cooler! The dew oozes out all over them, and their crisp, fresh appearance counts double. Think of what a sad time poor SI Smith Is having with all those peas ho picked two days ago and did not take to market because It rained. He up to date, llulld a cooler. It's a money saving and a money making proposition. Try it and be convinced. it win prove not only worth while, but indispensable. U. V. A. In Coun try Gentleman.

I he manufacturers of oil beaters have been afforded a great boom for their business by the success which a few commercial growers report In sav Ing their fruit crops by their use from destruction during hard frosts, says the Farm Progress. The most notable illustration of their value was demonstrated in the exten sive orchards of a grower In Iowa, who harvested an unusually heavy and flue crop of apples, for which he fought sieet storms and severe freezes for nine successive days in the spring and saved the fruit at an expense for equipment, oil and labor of 7 cents per bushel, which nt the present price of apples gave him after deducting subsequent expenses a good margin of profit. Tho heaters are of the simplest con struction, made of sheet iron and so covered thut water from rain or snow cannot put out tho flame. Each holds from one to six quarts of oil, and from 80 to 100 aro required for each acre of orchard. Tho price of the best oil heaters ranges from $120 to $750 per thousand. They nre largely used In certain sec tions of California for the protection of tho orange crops, nnd also In tho melon growing districts of Colorado. und will no doubt como In tlmo to be considered a convenience. If not a ne cessity, by fruit growers and garden ers in nil sections of the country. Progress in farming Is an In- dividual problem from tho solu- J, I'tlon of which the state, the ua- 'f' tlon nnd the world must benefit. l2NHMHSHlM.jHjrtjKMS4MSMj..SH3M,.3i4MjMiMg, KURIOS FROM KOR RESPONDENTS Q. How soon nfter the operation do a capon'B wounds heal? How old nro these very large capons thnt sell so high In city markets? What do you do for the swelling that sometimes fol lows the operation? Are two incisions necessary? A. Eight to ten days. Ono year or more. Pierce the skin and lot out the wind puff. Amateurs should muke two cuts until expert to remove organs from a single incision on one side. Q. Do you advise setting eggs In in cubators with the Biuall or larger end highest? A. If you will watch broody Rlddy you will find she elevates the larger end, which contains the nlr cells. Q. How much moisture Is evaporat ed from 1Q0 eggs under incubation, nnd at whut part of the hatch docs the most evaporation occur? A. Thirty three per cent In twenty days. Last eight days. Q. At what temperature does an egg begin to hatch? A. At 85 to 90 de grees. 'JJhls Is not sufDcleutly high enough to continue incubation to the hatching point. The germ dies and the egg rots. Hatching beat Is 100 to 105 degrees. Q. How often should fowls be fed grain on n long trip? A. Once nt noon. A sack of feed fastened to crate, with a request to expressman to feed nnd water fowls, is generally enough. The Scrap Book He Didn't Get Over. Arthur Dulfour, the British cx-pre inior, onco wus In n great hurry to get to England from his post In ireianu nnd. there being no regular steamer for some days, he proposed to cross over In a cattle boat. But In the mun from whom he sought Information he found n homo ruler of most ardent views. "Can I cross in tonight's boat?" ask ed Mr. Balfour. "No, yo can't, thin," said the Irish man. "And why not?" "Because 'tis n cattlo boat." "Never mind that. I'm not pnrticu lar." The homo ruler gave a little laugh. "No, Mr. Balfour." ho retorted; "1 dare say ye'ro not, but the cnttle ure."

About oiio-haif pound each per day of wheat bran l nd oats will put them in good flesh for winter.

Hens that break a leg below the hock generally recover from the Injury without splints, the bones knitting In five days. A splint made of leather or wood expedites the cure and keeps the leg from going crooked. When broken above the hock the injury sel dom heals. An author writes, "The hen turkey Is n rather good mother." Well, rath er! Is there a nnture faker who has found n better than Mother Turkey whom God created to raise her own kind? That lousy, scabby legged cluck may net the turkey Incubator, but she Is In reality the turkey undertaker. Dig the sod and weeds away from your young fruit trees, for they rob them of tree food nnd moisture and cover worms, borers and bugs that spoil young orchards. Let tho chick ens scratch the fresh earth about the roots. They will thus cultivate the ground nnd gobble the crawlers also. A gun handy for crows, hawks and hen roost robbers Is a necessary ad junct to n poultry plant, but that spring gun set to shoot any one that enters the henhouse Is surely a menace to tho fancier, his friends nnd family. If you seek an occasion for lifelong regret or are bout on suicide then set the spring gun. Your pullets at laying maturity ought not to hovo cost you a cent for feed If you llnlsh und dispose of your sur plus cockerels ut a good market. These cockerels ought to pay for all the feed they eat also. If you eat tho roosters Instead of selling them count that off your feed bill. The style of chicken that fattens best are those of medium size, broad. blocky body, with short legs wide apart. Put culls In the cook pot, not In tho fattening crate. Results of nn experiment nt Cornell university experiment station elve ad- ocutes of exclusive dry mash for chicks something to think over. Hero the wet mash rations wero better rel ished than dry mash or cracked grain. A lino dry mash was dllllcult to eat in sufllcient qunutlty. Chicks having dry mash made least gain in weight at greatest cost per pound. Chicks reared on wet mash wero largest and plump est. Wet maBh flocks had less mortal ity thnn any other except that having tho variety (cracked grain nnd mash) ration. Tho board of panlous of Pennsyl vania recently recommended a pardon for ono of Philadelphia's rich commis sion merchants sent up for selling rot ten eggs for food purposes. In this caso tho quality of mercy was surely strained or rotten. A cupful of salt dissolved In ten cupfuls of water furnishes an egg tester thut roglsters the ago of eggs.

When President Eliot of Harvard was in active service as bead of the university he was noted among tho students for his abrupt and brusque manner. Reports had come to him that one of his young charges was In the habit of absorbing more liquor than was good for him, and President Eliot determined to do his duty and look Into tho matter. Meeting the young man under sus picion in the yard shortly after break fast one day, the president marched up to him and demanded, "Young man, do you drink?" "Why why why," stnmmered the young man. "why. President Eliot, not so early In the morning, thank you." Boston Transcript. Badly Twisted. An Irishman and his wife were asleep in bed when the wife thought she henrd a noise downstairs, which she imagined was made by burglars and, awakening her husband, she said "Wake up. Pat; there are burglars downstairs." So Pat arose and has tlly dressed himself, but in his haste he put his trousers on backward. Quickly grabbing n lamp, he started down the stairs; but, owing to the trousers ueiug ugnr, ue stumbled on the llrst step and fell dovu the whole flight. His wife heard the rncket and went to the top of the stnlrs. "Are vou hurt?" she asked. Pat arose nnd, feel iug uiinseii to ascertain lr lie was hurt, found the way he wore his trousers. "No, darlln'. I'm not hurt in the least. But I'm all turned around entirely. I gave me body the dlvll's own twist."

When Brlsbune was a newspnper writer In Loudon, John L. was given an audience by the late King Edward, then Prince of Wales. "By George." exclaimed Sullivan to some of his friends, "Brisbane is the leading young Journniist of America, and if I meet the Prince of Wales Brisbane does too." When the little party arrived nt tho palace for the audience the court at tendants nearly had heart failure as John L. Introduced Brisbane in these words: "This Is my pal. He's Arthur Bris bane, the leading young Journalist of America." i They pointed out that a newspaper I man, especially an American of that profession, could not be present at tho reception. "No Brisbane no mo!" said Sullivan flatly. Finally they were ndmitted. nnd thon It was Brisbane's turn to get heart uuiure. suiuvan strode up to the Prince of Wales, grasped him by tho mum nnu sniu m nis deep voice: "Hello, prince! Let me present Ar thur Brisbane, the leading young Jour nalist of America." Popular Magazine. We have Borne specials in lumber as we are getting our stock in shape for invoicing next month.
