Common Senio Applied to Treatment
of Farm Products.
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

USE OF ORCHARD HEATERS.
Coming to Bo Regarded as a Necessity
In All Sections.
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.

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.

found n homo ruler of most ardent

"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

The homo ruler gave a little laugh.
"No, Mr. Balfour." ho retorted; "1

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.

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.

A lino dry mash was dllllcult to eat in

mash made least gain in weight at
greatest cost per pound. Chicks reared

'A Promaturo Question.
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."

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."

Arthur Brisbane, editorial writer for
Mr. Hearst, has been n great friend of
John L. Sullivan, the former heavy
weight champion, for many years.
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:

Two Scotch Stories.
A Scotch schoolmaster In Banffshire
yenrs ago had strong views on the sub
Ject of dress. In the day when crino-
line wns the rage a girl came to Bchool
with a very extensive one. which muoh
exceeded the space between the desk
and the form on which she had to sit
flic teacher, seeing this, said to her'
"Gang nwn' homo and taU' off time
girds (hoops) and come back to the
school ns God made yo."
Another rough nnd ready dominie
was examining his boys in a catechism
and asked If God hud a begluning
"No." said the boy. "Will he have nn
eim, -xes," no replied. This was
followed Instantly by a buffet on the
Bide of the head. "Will he have an
end noo?" "No," said the boy, and the
master was satisfied.
