QF FRUIT Two most seasonable bulletins have been issued by the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch of the Federal De- partment of Agriculture bearing upon the pre -cooling, shipment and cold storage of tender fruit, Both. bupetina Gan be had free on application to the Publications ,Branch of the Department et Ottawa. In the first of these publi- cations, Edwin Smitb, B. Sc., in charge of the pre -cooling station at Grimsby, Ont., gives details and advice regarding the pre -cooling of fruit along with re- sults obtained from experiments. It was only in 1914 that the pre -cooling and fruit storage plant was established at Grimsby. Since that time extensive tests have been carried on regarding conditions for shipment and temperature at va?Mous stages in transit. Results and observations are given relative to all kinds of fruit, including tomatoes, and not only in reference to transport- ation but also as to• the effect on marketing. During 1913, this Bulletin states while tender fruit laid on the ground rotting in Ontario, the Dominion of Canada imported huge quantities of peaches, plums, grapes, pears, apricots, etc., from the United States, owing to the better and more provident care that had been taken. By following the counsel contained in' this bulletin; this state of things will be avoided, Rates, rules and regulations for pre -cooling and storage are supplied. The second bulletin, for which J. M. Creelman, B. S. A. shares with Mr. Smith the responsibility; not only deals further with pre -cooling investigations, but also goes telly into methods of packing, shipping and storing tender fruit, tomatoes, corn and cucumbers. Both bulletins are suitably illustrated and should command the earnest attention of fruit growers and shippers. Catarrh Gallinot be Gured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surface. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was preseribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in- oduces such wonder- gredients results is in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO„ Props., Toledo, 0. Sold by Druggists, price 75c.

Some interest data were secured respecting conditi in many rural homes. Keeping the young people on farm is one of Canada's national p blems. Many causes have been s gested for the yearning for the ci The conveniences of -the city ho Constitute one of the chief attractio Notwithstanding this, however, ve few farmers have introduced the conveniences into their homes. Of the 400 farmers visited, 53 p cent. have young people in the families. With this large percenta of young people it is a regretable fa that only two farmers out of eve hundred have bathrooms in their home Only 6.2 per cent have water closet only 2.5 per cent. have a complete se vice, and only 2.2'per cent. have electr light. In these 400 homes, only 16. per cent. have the water piped to th house, and but 17.5 per cent. hay furnaces in the home. These condition are entirely within the control of th farmers, 86.7 per cent. of whom ar the owners of farms averaging 126. acres. In contrast with the foregoing, th conveniences which have been •supplie by the government and public utility companies and of which the farmer has availed himself stand out prominently. The Post Office Department has carried to 76 per cent. of these 40G/farmers rural free mail delivery, allowing 17 per cent. of them to be supplied with daily newspapers, while 58,2 per cent. have the convenience of a telephone. Only 2.5 per cent. have complete sanitary service in their homes, while 6 per cent, have automobiles, and "31.5 per cent. have either automobile or horse and buggy for the young people. Much has been said ,and written of late to interest the farmer in the auto- mobile, but little is heard of such house- hold conveniences as the bath tub, kitchen sink, sanitary Closet, etc, The automobile may carry the rural house- wife away from her drudgery for a few hours a week, and to that extent proves a blessing, but the price of an autos mobile would provide a water supply and other conveniences that go with it,. and render the home a Hots both to the housewife and the young people. the t of ing ing ons the ro- ug- ty. me ns. ry se er it ge ct ry 5. 5, r- te 5 e e s e e 5 e d Children.

Crushed oyster shell is the best material for shell making. Duck eggs should be marketed fre- quently, as they depreciate in quality more rapidly than hens' eggs, es- pecially during hot weather. A promising bunch of growing chicks can be spoiled by one night's sweating. Allowing 100 or more to crowd together in a small coop is sure to be the ruin- ation of some of them. If you would raise the finest fowls, do not allow more than 50 youngsters together at night, • With the arrival of warm weather the army of mites is fast recruited. Get ahead of them by soaking the roosts, drop hoards and floor with crude petroleum. A little goes a long way in disinfecting the premises and destroying the lice and mites The feeding of milk to young chicks has a most favorable influence on the growth and on lessening the mortality. It tends to prevent mortality from all causes, and if fed soon enough and for a sufficiently long period greatly re- duces the death rate caused by bacillary with diarrhoea. When the young turkeys are large and strong enough to jump over the sides of the pen, I let them run with the hen, gathering them in when arain- storm threatens, As they are very susceptible to dampness. it is best not to let them out in the morning until the dew is off the grass. Scrub hens are just scrubs, and even under the best of management will show little profit. In the Connecticut laying contest a pen of ten scrubs laid so few eggs that the food consumed between November 1 and,March 1 made them cost 7 cents each. Any old thing will lay in March, April, and May, when eggs are cheap. Laugh and Grow Fat "Laugh and grow fat" is an old say- ing laden with value for nervous people in particular. Drop the worry habit and use Dr. Chase's Nerve Food and you will soon get the nervous system restored to good condition. Digestion will improve, appetite will return. and you will find such symptoms as headache and sleeplessness fast disappearing. A man can get plenty of assistance when he sows to the- wind, but when it comes to reaping the whirlwind harvest helpers are scarce. George Ade Delinea Indiana. In the American Magazine George 'Ade says: "Indiana is a composite of steel mills and country clubs, factories and col- • leges, promoters and professors, stock- breeders and Chautauqua attractions, cornfields and campuses. It grows all the crops and propaganda known to the temperate zone. " a high wall could be erected to inclote Indiana the state would con- tinue to operate in all departments, but the outsiders would have to scale the wall in order to get their dialect poetry." An Artist's Criticism, .probably no two artists ever criti- cised each other more severely than did Fusel/ and Northcote, yet they re- mained fast friends. At ono time Fu- seli was looking at Northcote's paint. ing of the angel meeting i3alaam and his ass. "How did you'like it?" asked Northcote after a long silence, "North - Cote," replied Fusel' promptly; "you're an angel at an ass, but an ass at an angel."

Getting rid of grass, weeds, and undergrowth about the farm durieg the fall and early winter is one of the best protective measures the farmer c:.n use against crop damaging in-, sects the following year. Weeds, matted grass, dead vegetation and brambles along fences, roadsides, margins of fields, banks of little streams or ditches, especially in ir- rigated territories, are the natural hibernating and often breeding places of many destructive insects, This vegetation gives grasshoppers, chinch bugs, and other insects most favorable conditions for reappear- ance the following spring and sum- mer. Similarly, voluntary growths of wheat harbor the Hessian fly, while stray alfalfa plants in the fields and around them may be the source of the incursion of grasshop- pers, The Hessian fly in the ab- sence of volunteer wheat at times lays its eggs on the young crab grass which may spring up in the fall after a tract has been burned over. At present, In some parts of the coun- try, the late sown wheat is being In- fested by Hessian flies that have de- veloped in and spread from volun- teer wheat. Late sowing cannot be expected to protect winter wheat from attack in spring if volunteer wheat has been permitted to grow up either in nearby fields or among the late sown grain. Grasshoppers lay millions of eggs along the banks of canals and ditches in thewestern country. Chinch bugs hibernate in bunches of braotn sedge, and many other destructive pests could not en- dure the winter were it not for these natural nurseries. The entomologists therefore re- commend to farmers that they fall plow sod lands intended for other than grass crops 'another year and clear up roadsides, fence margins, and all waste lands, ditch banks, and similar rlares by burning over, pas- turing, or, in case of ditch banks, by plowing or disking in the fall, This will tear up the roots and expose the eggs of grasshoppers to the excessive moisture and cold of winter, and will also turn up those insects which hib- ernate in the ground. Burning veg- etation where possible will destroy many insects, though in the case of grasshoppers it probably will not be as effective as cultural methods. In addition, cultural methods by turn- ing humus into the soil benefits the land. Movable .Hayrack-.Hoghouse. Farmers who feed cattle and keep a bunch of hogs following them, as all practical corn belt feeders do, will welcome this suggestion from a Nebraska feeder. The hayrack in built over the hoghouse, which is an A shaped saffair, running the full length of the rack and opening at both ends to allow the hogs to enter. Those who have fed cattle in hay- racks know the usual troubles with having a little strip of hay Left at the bottom that the cattle strain to reach as they clean up the supply. This arrangement does away with that trouble and keeps the hogs warm and out of the way of the cattle when they seek their beds. - Farming Business, Storing Cabbage. Owing to the low prices for Bab- bage last year, many growers are turning to some method of storing the crop, says Albert E. Wilkinson in the Country Gentleman. One of the cheapest and most satisfactory methods is to put the severed heads' in a square pile in the woods, where the trees are thick enough so that the direct rays of the sun cannot penetrate, The ground should be cleared of underbrush and the cabbage Iaid with butts up. The pile should have sides as straight as possible and hould be flat on top. Over this pile of cabbage put straw or leaves to the depth of one foot. As soon as the snow falls it should be packed down over the pile. The cabbage will keep in perfect condi- • tion throughout the winter. ensilage tor Lambs, Lambs that are being fattdned heed some kind of succulent food, and for this purpose corn ensilage is a good substitute for roots. The eXe pense of growing and the additional labor required in caring for them make the growing of root crops un- profitable for many of the flock own- ers, especially when ensilage can be produced more easily and for less cost per ton.
