American Cultivator. A Wrinkle lit Apple Packlnc There Is a knack In doing every thing" is an old saying, and the truth fulness of It was brought to mind yes terday, says the Oregonian. by a gang of men engaged In wrapping and pack ing tipplc. ICach man had a full box of apples, n pile of thin paper cut Into wrappers, and nn empty box. An ap ple wns tnken from the full box. n wrapper put around It. and It wns put In the other box. It Is not nn easy thing to pick up n wrapper of thin paper from a pile without missing 0110 occasionally, and In doing this the men adopted different schemes. A new hand wet his thumb on his tongue for every wrapper, one who unu ueen longer In the business and found that It was unwholesome to be wetting his thumb on his tongue, had n slice of lemon beside his pile of wrappers nnd moistened his thumb In the lemon be fore picking up a wrapper. The scheme worked well, but he did not know whether the ncid of the lemon would make his thumb sore or not. A third man had a thin rubber thump stall on his thumb nnd could pick up wrappers nil dny long nnd never make n miss. He was an old hnnd nt the business. New England Farmer. rccdlnu Sliccp Profltnbly. After several years of experience in the use of corn fodder for sheep Jt has bee-i found profitable when made a small part of the ration nnd fed nfter shredding.

By using good hny. clover or timothy, every alternate dny, with tho shredded corn stover the re sults hnvo been sntlsfnctory, especial ly when tho sheep had roots once a day nnd were ou n varied ration of grain, onts, bran ami comment. It Is not Intended that tho corn stover, even If shredded, shall supply more thnu tho roughngo. for the grain nnd root feed must be liberal to carry the sheep through the winter In good shape. Tho eost In money or labor In shredding the, corn stover for nny stock Is con std'ered offset by the added vnlue In manure. 1 Honshu; Farm Implements.

Somo packers use a churn to thoroughly mix them, which Is Important, an If they nro put up Just ub they come from the shell the yolk becomes dry and menly. Thoy nre then frozen solid nnd kept In cold storage until wanted. They are packed In tins of from ten to forty pounds each. nnd of course the demnnd for them comes principally from the bakers, for cakes nnd similar uses. It Is said ttint a pound of the frozen egg Is equal to ten eggs of the average size. They will not keep sweet long after they aro thawed out, so tlmt It Is Important that the user knows how many pounds ho needs at one time, nnd opens no inoro than that Tuckers who are enrcful to avoid putting In nny tainted or spotted eggs get nhout 12 to 13 cents n pound, while other grades not ns cnrefully se lected hnve to he sold nt 10 cents. Wo are wondering whether this plan could lie used successfully In putting up smaller cans for family use. If It can we expect some one will try It. Massa chusetts Ploughman. Guinea KowIh. Culncn fowls have many good nualf tics. We should find them among every Hock of poultry. The guinea fowl can not, of course, supplant or even rival the chicken, but there Is 110 more deli cious or palatable dish than n young guinea fowl, and the eggs, though small, nre very rich and delicate. Tho grentcst objection to them Is their wild nnture. which prompts them to seek the woods in scnrclt of nests. Tho young birds will leave the nest almost as soon ns dry. nnd unless the mother and young nre confined In n tight coop tho tiny things will stray off nnd die. They nre tender until two weeks old. after which time. If protected nt night, they grow rapidly, and require practically no attention. They must hnve free range, nnd when given It will gnther nil they require to ent, nnd during winter weather they need no special care, since they do not begin to lay until spring, nnywny. They nre not subject to nny of the many diseases which atlllct chickens, nnd renlly merit the attention of farmers and potiltryiuen. Good Cure of Houf Iay. Too many nre nfrnld of n little work nnd trouble, says an Iowa farmer. I clean the pens twice n week. Hogs nre supplied with plenty of water and charcoal to prevent disease. Air slaked lime Is used for a disinfectant. With proper care there Is very little danger of disease. There are preventives, but no cure, for cholera when it gets n start. I always plant a patch of pota toes for feeding hogs In the fall to get them to market quick. I started a buueh of hogs on potatoes, fed them sixty days with chop nnd cooked pota toes with a little whole grain, and th hogs made n gain of two und n halt pounds per day. or 1.10 pounds per hog. Core should ho taken in starting hogs on potatoes. They should bo fed spar ingly nt first. Increasing a little every time they nre fed. not feeding more than they will elenn up. The best mar ket for hogs Is nt 200 to 250 pounds weight. ItitHlitess Not Overdone. The poultry business is not overdone. It Is like nny other business In that It must he properly conducted. There Is nlwnys n ready market for poultry nnd eggs every dny In tho year, and there Is n demnnd ubove the market prices for high grade stock and eggs. We ore speaking now from the standpoint of tho market poultrymun. Conditions are the same, however, with the fnncler. If you will show us n poultrymun who Is unable to dispose of his stock nt profitable prices, wo will show you one who docs not take advantage of hla opportunities nnd conduct his business upon a business busls.
