QUEER IDEAS AMONG POOR.

Remaelsable reveletions coneern-
ing the life of London's (England)
poor are contained in the annual
report of Dr. Thomas, the medkal
officer of health for Finsbury. Their
social oust -oras, superstitions and
ideas of babiee diets make a
strange ehapter in the reeorde of
human ignorance, as the following
extracts from the rep -ort iserae to
show.

a casual laborer the mother had

Packing .Produce for Market.
Packing is eqUally as important
as any of the other operation's iu-
volved in the Preparation of fruits
and vegetables for market. • There
are several important pointe in con-
nection with this. work- worthy of
consideration, probably the most
important of which is honesty,
writes Mr. S. B. Shaw. "Every
grower's pack should be as good as
his bond," Customers want hon-
estly packed goods and they are us-
ually willing to pay good prices for

placing honestly peeked produce on
any market, be it at home or
abroad. -

Not only because, as the highest
officer of the Grand Trunk P,acific,
he is called the counsellor of the
Grand Trunk official family.
Still, that is not the only reason
why the first general freight and
pessenger division point east of the
western terminus of the new rail-
way should be called after the good
counsellor of the official family.
He was asked to be the godfather
ofmany westerntowns—towns
which look calraly on huge glaciers
and rushing torrents, on mighty
cascades and forests of cedar;
towns which are springing graduals-
ly from canvas and tent prosperity
into the more substantial forme in
lumber and brick: •
And now comes the reason why
the last town—and most deekledly
not the least—came to be named
after the greet man who is quick te
recognize good work, and just as
quick to clothe criticism in silence.
"Serve the others first," wa,s
motto. „
,And that is how they have Edson
and Wa,trous and -Biggar and Wain-
wright, not to forget
named 'after' the great man, Charles
Melville Hays, in whose brain the
whole Western seh.eme originitted.
It was all So characteristic of Al-
fred Waldron Smithers to wish to
be the la-st godfather on the West-
ern line. g
But we must speak of Smithers,
the man.. ,His modesty has been
hinted fat above. Forty years ago
when he wits a youth of 23, he join-
ed the London Stock Exchange, and
remained .a member until four years
ago, when he resigned, te devote
his energies to the development of
railroade in Canada. Being the
sen of the late William Henry
Sillithere of the "Benk of Euedaeid,
it seems natural thee he should be
recognized as a finangial authority
throughout the 13ritieh Empire. Iri
1895 he became a director of the,
Grand Trunk, later being elected
vice-president and ehairmen.
England still. , claims much of his
attention, he being a director of
the South Eastern and Chaeham
Railway, and cheirmart of the Eng-
lish Association of American Share
and Bondholders.
And apart from all this, from his
interest in things of national im-
port, he is possibly the most inter-
esting it his private life. Children
are his weakness, and wherever he
is, he is seen surrounded by laugh-
ing tots, all delighted to he enter-
tained by the "big trien of fintinee."
the same grade throughout. If this
is done the top may be "faced."
"Facing" is the - arrangement of
from one to three layers of fruit
on the top thus increasing: the at-
tractiv-eness of the package. This
is an honest and perfectly legitim-
ate practice prided the eneire eon -
tents are fruits -of the same grade
as those placed on top. Secoads
and inferior grades should never
be faced with prime specimens.
There is neither cash nor character
in this practice., A few seconds or
culls scattered in with a lot of fancy
specimens gives the buyer an op-
portunity to discriminate against
the whole package and ruins the
reputathan of the grower as an holi-
est packer.
Produce should be cool and dry
before being packed. Heat and
Moisture promote decay. Condi-
tions of this kind should be guard-
ed against, for decay means loss.
Allow -all fruit and vegetables to
cool in' the packing -house, and have
them dry before pt < kiag. They will
keep longer and present ttbetter
appearance at ane time of sale if
handled in this way. So mach of
the success in Marketing farm pro-
ducts depends upon the packing,
that growers cennot be too partic-
ular in seeing that this work is done
in such a way as to showtheir pro-
duce to hest advantage when put on discovered how unparalleled a the -
lent ration, as well as a pure supply,
of drinkieg water, is apparent.
Realizing the great stimulus to ,
produetion which grass is, the dairy-;
man anxious for large yields should,
seek to pattern his ration as nearly
as possible the year around after
this natural food.
Grass alone, of course, would not
be satisfactory for winter feeding,
for it keepe the body of the comatoo
full of water and allows her to stif-
fer from the cold, but in conjuneL
tion with more fat -forming foods,
such as gralas and fodder, grass
would be, a part of an ideal winter,
ration.
The nearest approach to grass,
however, is silage, and it is for this.
reason that silage is held in such
high esteem by those who feed it.
HOLIDAYS IN TURKEY,
One Would Not Know That Turk Is
Celebrating on "Holy Day."
In nothing is the natural sober-
ness of the Turk more manifest
than in his holidays, says a writer
in'Sceibner's Magazine. He keeps'
fewer of them than his Christian
eompatriot, and most of them he
celebrates in such a, way that = an
eutsicler would eearcely suspect these
fact. This is partly, petha.ps, a, mat -1
ter of temperatemt, and partly be -
cease, Islam has not yet passea
certain stage of evolution.
A birthsiey, that is, is still a, holy
day. Secular and patriotic testi-
eels are everywhere of eomParae
tively recent origin. In Turkey,'
where church end State ere one to
a degree now unknoNve in Western
-countries, there was no real na-
tional holiday until 1909. Then the
fest anniversary of the re-estab-
lishment of the constitution wits
celebrated on the 23rd of July
(July 10, old style). A highly pie-
eures,que eelebration it was, too, in
Constantinople at least, with its
magnificeet array of rugs and me-
cliaaval tents on the Hill of Liberty,:
its review of troops by the Sultan,
its proeession of the guilds of the
city, and its evening illuminations.
Illuminations, however, were not
invented by the constitutien. Long
before a 23rd of July was, the
splendor -loving Sultan Ahmet
sale. While it is of the utmost im-
portance that each package be filled
with the same grade throughout, it
is equally as important that it be
done carefully. WW1 the softer
varieties Of fruit and vegetables,
such as poaches, plums, tomatoes
and egg plant, that are usually put
in small packages, each specimen
should be placed by hand. This not
only makes the pack more attrac-
tive, but it lessens the liability of
damage resulting from bruises.
Produce of a firm nature' as apples,
potatoes, etc., will notbruise so
readily,, and as a result it is not so
necessary to handle each individual
specimen in packing.
GraSS and Silage an Ideal Feed.
"When I get my cows into grass
again there will be more milk."
This is a statement frequently
heard during th.e last month that
the herd is confined in the yard.
When once 011 pasture the yields
show a marked increese even though
the—animals may have had plenty of
good grain and forage previously.
What is there about gress which
makes it sueh an excellent and very
satisfactory food for a milk cowl Is
it not its succulent nature'?
Sacculence means full of juice,
and the juicy ration for the deiry
cow is the eceirect one from all view-
points. Large quantities of water
are required by the cew in order bo
make large quantities of milk,
A large part, in fact, all but about
ten or twelve per cent. of milk, is
water, and, consequently, the cow
that produces- 8,000 pounds of milk
in a year makes use of something,t'
like 7,000 pounds of water, or a lif,

ing of whet is required for her
