Ui.L4NTEEIN YOUR PACK OF FRUIT
C.
There is nothing' that Will insPir(e
the confidence tlee heying public
in the eatelity of en article of eem-
nieroe like the coufideneh ef the proe
dem thet his product ia a good one.
"yoler money back if you eav not
eatisfied" carries weight with erg
purcheeer, Nothing but a first-clase
article can be backed by mob, a Pre-
position with safety.
And, a course, we frit growers
are no exeeption to this general rule.
If vie can guarantee that every apple
innthe paelea,ge is just as represented
it will certainly tend to popularize
oar output, but we must be sure of
the output first. The rest can be
inacle to 'follow.
There are about our essentials to
the proposition as I see it if one is
to make it a real success.
In the first place one must grow
good fruit. We may perlia.ps take
thet for granted, though it is really
the big end of the ieroposition,. If
every apples in an extra fancy there
is mighty little difficulty in getting
rid of the crop. And looking at it
from the other angle one can, of
course guarantee the pack of a •lot of
poor stuff, but there is no moneyein it
• The second essential is to pack the
fruit honestly. This ought to need
no discussion. Hundreds of jokes
have beem made at the expense of the
man who puts little apples in the
middle of the barrel; and thousands
of articles and speeches have been
written and made about honesty in
packing apples. Yet one has only to
step into any fruit market and ex-
amine the packs which are there on
sale to eee that as yet we freit grow-
ers, as a class, have not arrived.
Nothing would do more to put our
fruit business on a sound footing than
this single eimpIe matter of honest
packing.
The third point is that the fruit
shall be so well packed that it will
arrive at its destination in good con-
dition. This requires real skill, and
many a package of fruit teaves the
home packing house honestly packed
and in good condition, only to arrive

Ti.v0 KINDS OP GROWSUS.
The story is told of a Nova Scotia;
Apple geower who wandered down to',
the °leeks in Halifax where a steamer ,
was loading with applee for the Eng -di
lash markets, He was aceosted by the
Dominion fruit inapector who was enl
the job and, was examining a barrel
of apples that he had 'opened-, I
"George, what do you think of a
man who would pet up such a barrel}
tie that?" said the inspector. George
looked in the lea,rrel, "Why, he's a
rascal," said he. And then the in-
spector turned over the head of the
barrel and showed George his own.
name. That saunas too good to be
true, but we have the papers to prove
it; cued there is no question that it
would be a liberal education to most,
of us if we could see our own, fruit
opeaed up in the market.
We oaght to take pains to do this
occasionally. It would not only open
our eyes to our own failings but
would give us more charity for the
commission man whom WO are se fond
of abusing.
Ancllas,tly, having done all this, we
ought to get back of our pack and
boost it. Here is another Nova Scotia
story which enforces this point. A
certain grower puts a printed slip
into every barrel which he packs
bearing this legend:
Notice—This fruit was packed at
the Riverside Fruit Farm, Middleton,
Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. Hav-
ing large interests in growing orch-
ards in the Annapolis Valley, I am
desirous of having my brand known
abroad for its invariable•
both as to'quality of fruit and honesty
of peoldrig. To insure this object I
hereby guarantee the contents of this
package to be the same from head to
head and to be fairly represented by
the face; and I further authorize my
consignees to refund the money paid
for the fruit of my packing which is
proved not to be according to brand.
That is the proper spirit and will
revolutionize the fruit business. Why
cannot more of us do the same thing?
Profitable Age and Weight
-of Cattle.
Dealing with the most profitable
age and weight ef cattle, the bulletin
on "Beef Raising in Canada," pub-
' lishecl by the Dominion Dept. of
Agriculture, remarks that the days
of the heavy bullock are past and
that the life of the steer is- gradually
shortening. StiN the weighty ox will
command a good price for the export
trade, provided he is of .good beef
formation and well fatted. Finish is
what is looked for in the market and
is as mueh appreciated in the bun•
ellen' bullock of 1,100 pounds as in ,
the exporter weighing 1,500 pounds.
Apropos of this remark in a recent
Live Stock Branch market report is,
worthy of observation. Packing houses
are receiving large numbers of Wes-
tern killers, it says, but are paying
but little attention to any other, than
finished cattle. Most of the finished
beeves niarketed by up-to-date On-
tario feeders are from twenty to
thirty months old and weigh from
1,200 to 1,400 pounds.

Skim Milk and its Substitutes
in Pig Feeding. I
In order to determine the relative
value of digester tankage, skim -milk,
and a combination of ecitral parts of
tankage and oilcake meal as supple-
ments to a grain ration in feeding
growing pigs, and in finishing pigs
for the market, an experiment was
conducted at the Experimental Farm
ata Rosthern, Saskatchewan. The lot
fed skim -milk made the largest aver-
age daily'gain during the period and
gave an average profit of $5.39 per
head over feed cost while the lots re-
ceiving tankage, and oil meal and
tankage gave $4,53 and $4.60 respec-
tively. The results a the experiment
chow that the addition of a protein
supplement to the meal ration results
both. in greater daily and more econ-
omical gains. They also show that
where skim -mine is not available
throughout the year, tankage or a
combination of oil meal and tankage
melee good substitutes.

Remodeling Henhouses.
There are certain principles of
poultry -house construction that must
be fairly closely followed for good re-
sults, but it is not always necessary
to spend a lot of money in order to
have a good chicken house. Remodel-
ing at comparatively little expense is
frequently practical.
On many farms it has been difficult
to secure profitable winter -egg pro-
duction because tha chicken house
was so nerrow from frant to badc
that it could tot be opened for ven-
tilation without rnaldng it much too
cold for the hens when on the roosts
at night.
Such houses are often high in front,
with rather steep roofs, so it may be
fairly easy to convert the high nar-
row shed into a house of the semi -
monitor type.
A row of windows must be placed
along the front wall of the shed, close
to the top. A lean-to is then built on
the front, or south, side so that it
slopes to the south and makes the
house deeper from front to hack by
the width of the leanetonee
A shed twelve feet deep may well
have an additional eight feet of depth
in the form of such a lean-to so that
the hens will be roosting nearly
twenty feet from the front of the
house. Winter ventilation is accom-
plished by leaving most of the front
of the new part open at all times.
The original front wall should be
removed except for sufficient framing
to support the roof and the row of
windows at the top.—L. E.- C.
° Water for Dairy Cows.
I once had a fine herd of Guernsey
cows that were not only heavy eaters
but heavy drinkers as well. Knowing
that a cow is net a good milker un-
less she is both a heavy eater and
a heavy drinker, I made provision
that this herd ehould get a plentifel
supply of the best water.
I had a fine well, so I installed an
air -pressure pumping outfit and piped
the water to the barn.
• In front of the cow stalls in- the
barn I constructeda cement feeding

left an op -ening at one end for. the

MarketingUnprofitable
Apples.
We fruit growers too often put on
the market fruit which actually nets
us a less, if we consider all the items
of expense in placing it, in the hands
of the consumer.
Even for the grower who, as Pr.
Baileyhput it, "doe p not grow his
crop, but clfscovers it," there is still
left the cost of ficking, packing, pack-
ages, transportation and selling.
It is, of course, understood just
what kind of fruit we have in mind
in. this discussion.
We do not refer to really good
stuff on which we are so unfortunate
as to lose money. This is a misfor-e
tune which through a combination of
circumstances .may occasionally hap-
pen even tethe best of us. -
The mere fact that we are not
making but losing money on the trans-
action of seilmg our fruit is bad
enough he itself and-onght toebe suf-
ficient ,to prevent our keeping, up the
practice. But this is not by any means
the only *objection to it. Everyeanple
or pkeh or plum that is put on the
market of course influences the prise
of that fruit end to a lese' extent of
alt frdits; and thetype of fruit which
we are. diShussing has. more damag-
ing:influence that any. other kind be-
causerit poor stuff, and when a Con-
sumer gets any of it, his desire for -
fruit is thereby diminished.
Just what can and ought to be done
about the matter is a question.
probably not a matnr which laws can
regulate. Education is probably the
most holiefulline to work on, but the
diffieulty there is that the type of
grower who produces and sells this
sort of fruit is not the one who sits
on the froet seats at .fruit growers'
meetings or who studies his own and
his ,neighbor's practices r to see how
he can improve, •

confessed need of the G•reek heart.
I. THE oKEEN'WoRLD's CalsTPESsED NEED
OF COD, 22-23.
V., 22. The serinon is preached by
Paul standing on the Areopagus or
Hill of Mars, the rocky eminence to
the West of the city, from which in
ancient times the Council of the
areopagus dispensed laws to the Ath-
enians. Paul begibs by giving the
Athenians credit for a deeply rel-
igious turn of mind which makes them
more than usually respectful of di-
vine things. The words of the Author-
ized Version, "Ye are too supersti-
tious" should be rendered "You are
more than others interested in things
divine." St. ,,Paul's attitude to the
Atheeian heart here is sympathetic,
not condemnatory,
V. 23. , The proof that the Athen-
ians are more than usually religious
has been found by Paul in the altar
inscription To An Unknown God. No
inscription bearing -this title has been
discovered at Athens, but we know
for a fad that they had inscriptions
bearing the pleral dedication. To Un-
known Gods, What Paul read in the
inscription was not a mere polytheis-
tic welcome to all gods that\ca.me, but
a mute pathetic c nfession that the
heathen soul wa's not satisfied, but
was stretching out its arms towards
the true Father -God of- whom they
had never heard. -
II. GOD'S ANSWEIV-12N4.-T34H.E GOSPE,L OF
JESUS CHRIST,
St. Paul now has his text, and in
the first part of the sermon he de- '
clares that the God, who has been
hitherto Unknown to the heathen ,
heart, is spiritual end one, the Cre-
ator of -the world, the Giver of life,
the lord of -the -tions, the kind,
intimate Father einthe souls of nien
(vs. 24-29). the second part,
which is the 'specifically Christian
part, he deelares ihat the God has
revealed himself in Jests, arid calls
men from sin and _heathen darkness
to receive eternal life, vs. 30-31. It is
this second part of the message which
arouses opposition, vs. 32-34. '
V. 24., St. Paul points out th.at the
Creator -Spirit, the God who made the
world, is not to be thought of as
locally fixed in any shrine or temple.
He inhabits the whole world and there
is no part of our life which is out -
Side of his observation and interest.
P lytheism did not put the whole of
man's life under any of its deities,
but assigned te-each a ezeall part of
what concerns us .t 'fence, there was
no dominant holy will to which man
must make account for the whole of
his actions and his life.
V. 25. St. Paul shows that for the
same reason the heathen religious
rites .are meaningless. The true God
does not need theofferings and -liba-
tions which the heathen offer on their
altars, for lee is himself' the Lord and
Giver of Life. •
V. 26. Moreover, it -enlist-net be
thought that. one nation has one eat
of gods, and anther nation has an
other set. The one true God is Lord
of ali nationsetand to him all peoples -
are responsible. •
Vs. 27-29. And. the existence of thie
one true god - corresponds With the
universal craving of the human heart
for divine love. God has put an, in-
stinct M human hearts' which makes
us "restless until we 'find rest in him."
We are all waitipg and groping for
somethihg, and that soniething is
God, who is our• Father, and far near-
er to us -than we think. . St. Paul ap-

It is not my ptirpose, however, to
extol- any one flower; but rather to
make as plain as possible how ten
weeks or more of continuous beauty
from bulbs may be enjoyed by select-
ing suitable varieties. So far as gar-
den culturais concerned, all the Dutch
bulbs are pretty much alike. They
are called Dutch bulbs, despite the
fact that none of them is native to
Holland, but because of the great skill
which the Hollanders have developed
in growing them commercially.
The three essentials in achievirig
success with tulips and narcissus are:
First, get sound bulbs; second, put
the soil in good condition before plant-
ing; third, plant early.
.. You can easily judge the quality
of your bulbs when you buy them.
They should be heavy and plump, so
that there is little or no "give" when
you press one with the thumb. If
you take a knife end cut a b.ulb. in two
vertically there should be no marked
air spaces betwee.n the layers and a
miniature flower bud, perfectly de-
veloped, should show in the heart of
the bulb.
PLUMPING seerenexter BULBS.
Occasionally the bulbs, while still
appearing all right on the outside,
have been so heated in curing' or in
transit that.the flower is "blasted,"
and is easily .perceived to be black
and decayed. Such bulbs Kill not
Bowel. the first season after planting,
although they may recover and be all
right later on.
If your bulbs should appear to be
sightly dried out or shrunken when
you receive them, it is a good pian to
plump them -before planting, by cov-
ering -them with moist soil or moist
moss until you are ready to plant.

The question is put to me in all
serioueness by a school nurse who
ha a been asked about open air schools
n rural districts. I will agree with
her sta.tement if she says, "They may

matter of fact, some country children
pend many a winter day shut up in
an overheated house which they
hange: only for an underheated
choolroom. But I will agree that
country chitcheir shotild not need'open
air schools in order to get fresh air.
The great obstacle to open ate
schools in rural districts is that the
percentage of the school population
needing them is not large enough to
warrant the expense. Yet I do crave
the advantages of the open air school
for the country child of sub -standard
health and I think they may be had
with a little planning. Everyone who
has studied the open air school knows
that "fresh air" is but one of its ad-

Thoinas Carlyle, whom we do not

some verses about the dawning of
another blue sky, and I think he rnust

DIVINE COLOR SCHEMES.
If any of us had been taken into t
the confines of the Creator, andetold
that the general color scheme for the
earth was tq be mostly green, with a
tor) of blue, rind that on the under
part of• green a showing Of many
colors would be made, we.would hard-
ly have given our approval of the

gested some other scheme. Yet, like
everything elSe from the hand of
God, unspoiled by man, how beautiful '-
are the colorings of.nature at a sea-
sons, and how especially lavish the -
display in the autumn.
The &lenges come about so grader.
ally t'hat for a time we are .herdly

trees that I see now from my window,

yet I know that within a few days I
shall begin to see something different
about them. The leaves seem to be
attached firmly to the branches, but
let a rainy days come, with winds
blowing and the grass and streets will
be covered with fallen leaves.
But the beautiful autumn coloring
is still to conie, except where, on -----
higher lands, the breath of Jack Prost
has aleeady been felt,
"Autumn, -with her sunburnt caravan,
Like a gypsy train with trapping gay,
And tattooed colors of the Orient,
Moving slow -footed through the
dreamy hills." -e
But it is the blueness a the October
landscape and sky that appeals to
-me, and I wonder if there is any color
more generally liked than blue.,Poets
have dwelt lovingly and lingeringly
on the beauties of blue eyes, as well
as blue skies; perhape because they
rhymed; and blue and true seemed
also to he analagous.
Blue flowers 'aleo get praise, and to ,
me. they are the most attractive
blexims in the garden—always excep -
ing the roses, which hold a place,.
wholly their own in my heart. Del-
phiniums, especially those styled
"BeNadonna," are particularly blue,
and forget-me-nots and love -in -a -mist
(each homely and pretty names) are
a close second. Then there are the
blue corn -flowers, the gentian; and •
still others, although some,caled.blue
in seedsmen's 'catalogues turn out to
be -lavender; pretty, but not what you
want among clumps of blue.
Despite my love for blue, I know
that it is a cold cotor, needing some-
thing with it—unless, indeed, the b'eue
flowers are planted in masses, n give
-them character. White is the reat
peacemaker among flowers, as a well-
known writer on floral subjects said,
and pink and yellow may be added,
with good results.
Autumn is to the year what com-
ing age is to. life: a changing, an
ebbing, a dimming of , the brighter
things, even if they flame up for a
short:time. It ,is a time of a little
sadness; no one can deny it, and'much
as we praise autumn, and exclaim at
the beauty of tha world and of the
weather, there is .runnipg through it
all a chill of- the coming winter. It
is a going -away, not a coming -back.
. Yet there is'nothing taken away for
whicheseme,compensation is not giVen.
Spring is, yottng, and lovely; summer,
more mature, but beautiful; and in
autumn the beauty is still there with
all the added store than spring„ and
summer brought. Experience is worth
a great deal, and one cannot have the
balanced. judgment, the wideit mercy
of later life, without giving tip. some-
thing for it •
