APPLES PROVE THE
BEST ADVERTISERS
Causa Furore In All Eastern Towns
Where They are Offered
For Sale
In December, Preident Louis
W. Hill of the Great Northern
Railway, had established in
Great Northern Railway city
ticket offices, located in seven
teen of the most prominent cities
of the east, a tempting display
of varieties of Northwestern
commercial apples, grown along
its lines in Washington, Oregon,
M6ntana and British Columbia.
Many of these exhibits are still
on display and enthusiastic re
ports of the Great Northern Rail
ways local representatives in
each of these cities indicate the
great hold the Northwestern
commercial apple, with its honest
and effective pack, is making
on the eastern people.
Mr. R. K. Pretty, General
Agent of the company, at 217
North 8th street, St. Louis,
writes:
"At the time this display was
put on, all the newspapers in St.
Louis made a mention of it. Ow
ing to the very favorable location
we have and the attractiveness
of the display, we commanded a
great deal of attention. The
quality and variety of the apples
seemed to create more interest
than anything we have ever
shown here before and it is one
of the best mediums of advertis
ing, both the country and our
railroad, that I know of.
We have created quite a sale
of these apples in St. Louis and
if the Conrad Grocery Company,
the firm that handles Wenatchee
apples, have sold to all the people
who have asked us where they
could buy these apples, they
must have disposed of a great
many boxes this winter."
Mr. C. W. Pitts, General
Agent of the company, at 210
South Clark Street, Chicago,
makes a report very similar to
that of Mr. Pretty's in St.
Louis. The Northwestern com
mercially packed apple, according
to Mr. Pitts, has become a great
favorite in Chicago.
"One of the peculiar things
about the comments which have
been made on our exhibit here,"
writes Mr. Pitts, "is the fact
that most of the people display
ing interest state they have
purchased and are familiar with
the quality of the Northwestern
apple. Its great effect in Chi
cago, in my mind, has been the
interest it has aroused on the
part of people who contem olate
going to the Northwest to .make
their future home."
Similar reports are being re
ceived from other representa
tives of the Great Northern in
various cities throughout the
east, in which these apple shows
have been held.
These exhibits have been made
a permanent feature of the Great
Northern colonization and pub
licity work.

will skim clean when skimming a 25
per cent or 30 per cent cream, but If
one must furnish a 40 per cent or 45
per cent cream will this machine skim
cleaner than any other providing other
requirements are equal? The separa
tor, with care In keeping the tempera
ture of the milk between 00 to 100 de
grees F.. having the machine on a solid
foundation, the bowl running true and
turning the crank at the required
speed, should not have more than flve
hundredths per cent of butter fat In
the sklmmllk when skimming a 30 per
cent cream.
A good separator with reasonable
care and attention should last from ten
to fifteen years, with few or no re
pairs. When we say that the parts of the
separator which come in contact with
the milk should be so constructed as
to be easily cleaned we do not refer to
the number of parts to bo cleaned, but
to the construction of these parts. Can
every piece of the bowl be taken apart
so that we have no cracks or shoulders
to clean? If it is a disk machine, will
all of the disks come apart so that wo
can wash them individually, or, if
there is any other device, can it bo
taken apart so that all of the surface
will be exposed and be easily washed?
Some machines may be so constructed
that there ure only a few parts, and
yet these few be more difficult to w.ash
and keep clean than a machine with a
great number.
The parts coming in contact with
the milk should be heavily tinned, as
this makes washing easier and pro-
vents tho parts from rusting. If tho
parts start rusting it is very tedious
work to keep the machlno clean. How
ever, no separator Is so constructed
that It can be kept clean and sanitary
without taking It apart after onch sep
aration. In order to get the best re
sults from your machine wash and
scald all the parts coming in contact
with the milk after each separation.
Most of the standard machines have
vertical and horizontal gears, with
each end of the pinion In a bearing,
thus .reducing tho chance of the gears
moving out of place to u minimum, and
this kind of gearing will run for years
without any repair or adjustment if
the machine can bo easily oiled. The
oil and dirt should be wiped off occa
sionally and the bearings flushed with
coal oil. The oiling of a separator
should be as automatic as possible.
The splash system that Is used on some
of the separators makes the oiling au
tomatic, requiring attention about once
a week, and with an oil cup for the
neck bearing wo have tho danger of
the hot bearing reduced to a minimum.
Although a series of oil cups with tho
snap lover proves very satisfactory,
oil must be furnished tho neck bearing
either by means of a cup or a heavy
oil pad, because the bowl travels at a
tremendous speed and needs a constant
bath of oil to prevent heating. Tho
lower bearing of tho spindle must also
be so arranged as to bo oiled constant
ly while tho machine is In use. Tbo
other bearings must bo provided for in
some way or other and, as previously
stated, as nearly automatic as possible
While the construction of the casing
or frame of tho machine may look Uko
u secondary problora, It really is very
essential for two reasons: First, does
it protect tho operator from getting
caught in the gears and chains? Bee
oud, Is it so arranged that you can
get at tho gears and bearings easily to
.clean them occasionally and take out
'tho old oil or, In caso of overflow, milk?
Her Advice
Dy SARAH J. TUCKER
Two faruiB lay sldo by side, tho ono
belonging to old Charnley, tho other to
youug Peterson. Peterson had inher
ited hU farm with n debt ou it and had
no money with which to stock or work
It. Tho season for planting was com
ing on, and Charnley was looking out
for hands, roterson told him that if
ho would hire him for tho wholo sea
Bon ho would work for him. To this
Charnley agreed.
One morning In April Albert Peterson
was plowlug lu Charnloy'H Held. Tho
trec9 woro Just taking on that dolicnto
Bhado of palo green which is so beauti
ful while tho air was balmy with tho
first warm breezo coming up from tho
Bouth. Albert rested his horses, tied
tho reins to tho plow haiullo nud, lean
ing against n fouco, looked out upon
tho pleasant prospect At Intervals
camo a few notes from n bird or a pair
of birds bulldlug n nest in a treetop.
It was music to Albert, who loved the
country and hated Uio city. Ho was
thinking about tho latter and how ho
should miss tho former, for farming
had not paid his father nor did he Beo
how it could pay him. So ho oxpected
In tho fall to go to town and try for a
position in some store or manufactory.
Suddenly ho felt u pair of bauds clasp
ed over his eyes. They wero not hard
and coarse, but soft aud flno. They
must bo a woman's.
"Guess who I am?"
"No guessing is required. Your
voice gives you away. 1'ou aro Ethel
Charnley."
Tho clasp was loosened. Iio turned
and on tho other side of tho fenco saw
a girl of nineteen.
"You look as if you had lost your
best friend," sho said. "What's tho
matter?"
"Oh, I was thinking how lovely tho
country 1b, and Pvo got to leavo It in
tho fall for tho city. I have no money
to work my farm, and I don't proposo
to work for other people. Bosldoa,
farming doesn't pay."
"Do you know why It doesn't pay?"
"No; do you?"
"I'vo been reading In a farmer's
Journal that it could be mado to pay
if practiced scientifically. They say a
few acres worked on scientific princi
ples la far better than a great many
worked In tho old fashioned, blunder
ing way. Why don't you go to sorao
of those colleges where they teach uow
methods and learn how they do It?"
"I never thought of that" said Al
bert meditatively. But prosontly ho
added:
"To obtain money to pay my ex
penses whllo studying I'd have to sell
my farm, and when I got it all learn
ed I wouldVt have a farm to work."
There was a short silence, which tho
girl broke:
"Suppose you get the education aud
leave tho rest to well, to your own
endeavors afterward. You'll bo sup
plied with a capital better than a
farm, for a farm Is no use If you don't
know how to make It pay."
"Well, MIbb Longhead, what elBO do
you recommend?"
"After I'd got the education It scorns
to me I would take a position for
awhile in tho service of some of thoso
men in tho city who handle farm prod
uce. I uon t see much use or learn
ing how to get good crops If you don't
know how to get paying prices for
them."
Albert looked at her In surprise
Whero did you pick up nil that?" ho
asked.
"I read a great deal. There's a lot
in our country papers now wo used not
to get Then I think about what I
read. It has shown me that our old
fashioned ways of fanning aro passing
out.
"Farming Is going to be Uko man
ufacturing. It is manufacturing in n
sense. Wo mix chemicals with the
ground and manufacture crops. Tho
manufacturers of goods know as much
about tho business of selling as of mak
ing them. Why shouldn't it bo tho
same with the farmer?"
Albert gaped at this slender gjrl and
said:
"Whoever would think that a young
woman, who couldn't guide this plow
once across tho Ueld, would stajid there
telling me, a stroug man, what to do?
I'll not only go to college lu the fall,
but I'll wrlto ut once for bulletins an
nouncing their courses of study and
all that and nights when I'm not at
work I'll be making my proparatlons,"
Five years from that time Albert Po-
terson returned from his college and
his business training. He stopped at
the Charnley farm and, seeing a young
woman directing some field hands pre
paring the soil for planting, said:
'I'll give you some points on that."
And ho proceeded to lecture them for
half an hour while they listened ea
gerly.
"Is that you, Bert?" asked tho wo
man.
"Yes. I've (Intoned what you advised
ono spring morning flvo years ago."
"Well, I'm glad to soo you, Come
Into the house."
While Peterson had boon preparing
Mmsolf for a llfo work time had beon
preparing a field of labor1 for him. Old
Charnley had died and left Ids proper
ty to his daughter, Sho hud the farm,
Peterson tho knowledge. So ihey made
a match, and today a smufll part of tho
Olmrnley farm la paying ftir moro than
tho wholo paid under thooUl Hystoin of
farming. Tho owners look forward to
tho day whon thoy will -work all their
and and muko a email .fortuuo every
