Ten Rules for the Shipper.
1. Be sure that your product is in
perfect, condition.
2. Handle as little as possible, to
avoid bruising.
3. Take up directly with the rail-
road details of crop to be shipped, and
service required. Give ample advance
notice, so that proper car service can
be supplied.
4. Get a written acknowledgment
from railroad, eovering nuneber and
kinds of ears to be supplied and the
rates to apply.
5. Load containers in car so that
there is proper air circulation. With-
out this, icing or heating will be al-
most worthless.
6. Pack and brace contents so that
load cannot shift or settle hi transit,
causing breaking of packages or
bruising of product.
7. When using iee or heat, prepare
the car in advance. Pre -cool the pro-
duct, if possible. .
8. _Make exact check or count of
contents of ehdpment, while it is being
loaded. ' <Se-
9.- Have arrangements made for im-
mediate -unloading of shipment at des-
tination; if there is any damage, delay
may greatly increase the loss.
10. Iftshipment is reported "off con-
dition" at destination, arrange for im-
mediate inspection. Get a govern-
ment inspection report, if possible, as
„such a report is admissible as evi-
dence in court.

House flies are the filthiest and

Because the disease laden filth they

be seattered thinly on the fields every

spring when possible manure should
be stored in a prepared manure pit or
tight box, or removed from the
„stables, piled and treated with .borax.
Eleven pounds of crude commercial
borax, which may be' bought for a
few cents a pound, is needed for every
twelve or thirteen bushels, or _sixteen
cubic feet of 'stable manure. Sprinkle
this over the manure pile and add a
little water to carry the borax down
into the manure. This kills the eggs
and maggots without injuring the
manure as a fertilizer. Not more than
fifteen tons of manure so treated
should be applied to the acre.
