To be informed on marketing condi- Vona is badispensable to economical marketing a truck. Whether one sells on a local raarket or shipto a distant cit or town, it is importaut to know aomethiug of the demands of the trade. In some markets there is very little call for epitiach, rhubarb, garlic, par- snips, etc., where in other places, ea- pecially with people a foreign birth, there is considerable demand or such vegetables. Those who have had experleave in .selling vegetables from the teem cleave erY know that people in ceetaln die - Wets have certain pecullaritIce. Where there is considerable wetuth the city consumer may demand more service, a more expensive package, and better quality. But it in a lacal- ity where many of the people are poor, sales may show that tb.e people prefer ordinary quality, or, in other words, the cheapest. Likewise one product, will sell in one district when perhaps it would not in another near by. • The man who marketsvegetables must be a very close observer, patient, kind and hopeful, One day nrty be very discouraging and require outlet- erable produce to be brought back un - The next day sales may be ex- cellent, even of produets that would not sell the day before. Experience has taught the writer that it does not pay to cut prices when sales are dull. If one ie to staY in the business of selling vegetables he sbould strive to earn a reputation for honor, truth and justice. To charge the first customers that take fresh vegetables more than the last on the route is unjust and it is not likely to build up the reputation of the seller. The merchant's idea of"large saleand 'small profits" is not a bad motto. It is far better, to sell as reasonable as can be afforded than to take advan- tage Of the customers when any vege- ly to find a poor market the. fennel. should be satisfied with a reasonable price for the article that is Beane with a view of selling the products that are abundant. This is good business. • Attractive packages with taade- mark showing the name of the farm and the manager's skill and original- ity will do much to build up a trade. It is worth while to produce an excel- lent article and then present it in attractive, appetizing manner, To gell readily and at good prices, vege- tables on the delivery should appear better than those on the other fel- low's. CARE OF HORSES IN HOT WEATHER. I e- • A great many horses are annually laid tap in summer with sore should- , ers, ,13y the use of good common 'sense and care much of this can be reriedied. A good. horse collar is the main part of the harness, and it should be of the very beat kind and fit the animal's neck perfectly. The col - •lar should be kept clean at all times and the horse's shoulders well washed and brushed daily, • Muth dust and dirt arise in the higher price. If other vegetables are to be Old that are abundant and like - table is very scarce and would bear a fields end on the roads at this season, • and these are caught and held on the moist and sweaty shoulders and eollar, •there to form hard lumps and ridges. Every time the collar is put on the horse it should be examined for these lumps and ridges. If any are found they should be brushed and rubbed away. After each day's work, especially if the weather is hot, the shoulders should be bathed and cleaned with a mixture of warm water, salt and soda. A little alane and tannic acid, the juice from the bark or leaves of oak or willow trees will heal and toughen the skin, and should be applied with jek Warm water. Hee water is one of , the best-known natural agents for re- lievingsorenessdue to sprains, bruises and exceseive pressure of the animal body. Salt and soda are heal- ing and disinfecting agents. In nothing does regularity of work count more than in the handling of entreats. When a horse is worked regularly he acquires strong muscles and tough shoulders. It is cruel to alio* horses to remain idle for several days or even weeks at a time, and then iminediately put bate hard stir - Vice Much hard Is done its this. A horse that has been idle for several days should be givezt very light and moderate work for the first day or two, so that the muscles and skin will regain their strength and toughness. Zt. is a, better plan to ermine solne work for the horse daily. In this way their bodies never become weak, hence they seldom become ill or injured and are always in training for efficient serviee. illikliilli. 11 1111 1111i 111111111111111111111111 - ,ezeo•- - ----emesiereee— When a horse i$ brought into the stable all tired out, he should be telven a little hay to nibble at gad allowed to rest for an hour or •two before given anY Pain- PARINI NEWS AND VIEWS. .A.cetirditsg to useful studio, 8 per ceut. of the 'wheat crop has been lost every year through inefficient threeh- ing. This has meant a lose of some- thing like 20,000,000 bushels of wheat a year, whien would mean at 'Root prlece about $40,000,000. An exPerieuced horseman gives this hint: To make a new horse collar come to a perfect fit, watt it overnight In a tub of water, buekle it on the hers() next morning and go to work. It Will soon adjust itself to every part of the shoulder, and thereafter be as com- fortable as an old shoe. Some of our succeseful stockmen and dairymen find it profitable to mow the pastures in mtclstirumer, destroying the weeds end brusb. It evens up the grass and inaproves greatly the coadi- of the pasture. Blue milk is not necessarily poor milk. The belief that tesbright yellow in milk means ricanees in quality is not true. Experiments show tbaa tbe change from the white cream and but- ter in winter to yellow cream and butter in spring and zummer does not indicate an increased fat percentage. The very highest colored milk that a cow can give may have the loweet fat percentage. Cows are unable to pro- duce the yellow coloring matter for their cream and butter. This lutist be derived from the feed, and is known as carotin. It takes ite name from tne carrot, where it le very abundant. The difference In the color of cream and butter in winter and spring is due -to the fact that tho winter feeds contain little or no carotin. No niarket in- crease in the fat Percentage accom- panies the, Increase in color when foods rich in carotin are fed. No matter how thrifty the peach orchard may be, constant planning is neceasary to keep it thoroughly up to the mark, because the trees develop and mature rapidly and are therefore short-lived. Peach trees decay more readily than any other fruit tree. It is a sad mistake to plant young trees in the midet of old and worm- eaten ones, particularly when no atten- tion is paid to the eradication of insects, Orchard. soil must be rich in organic matter, and for this purpose, if for no other, clover crop a• are valuable. Ordinary care will not stimulate a large flow of milk. There is a great need for the saving of more high class heifer calvee on the farm. Good farmers cannot aftord to 1 1' let these youngsters go for veal or be killed for any reason. One of the best absorbents of liquid manure is chopped cornstalks. The pithy stalkpermit a large amount of liquid to be absorbed. Where corn stover le fed there is usually an abund- ance of this material left in the man- ger to furnish ample bedding, provided of course the animal is given a liberal allowance, to pick over, or she will not eat this portion unleas she Is forced to do so. To fight a cross bull, go for his eyes, says an authority. He says he saw one put to flight in a very short time when a matt nearly 80 years old was nearly overcome by a 2 -year-old Jersey bull. A man sweeping in the barn near -by saw the situation and came with his broom. The old man moved out of the way and he jabbed the broom in the, face of the animal two or three times. The fight was then over, The bull ran away. Probably anything to injure his sight would have had the same effect -sand, dust or anything similar. Every farmer should adopt a crop rotation of some kind. The, system ems Ployed will vary with the district and the type of farming deeired. No system should fail to have a cultivated. crop and a crop of alfalfa or clover. In a potato country a three-year rotation is otter followed, such as potatoes, rye or barley and clovar. When corn is raised in considerable quantities, corn, grain and clover is a good rotation. After the rotation is decided on the farm should be cut into fields so that each field will grow the crops in succession. • • Simple and Sure -Dr. Thomas' Ec- leetrie 011 Is sa simple in application that a child can understand the in- structions.

Such hats need Wearing at just the right poise, no hint of tilt being pei. mitted; though- in others a return to the upward slant at the side is clearly fore -shadowed. For this, however, we shall probably have to wait until the approaeh of early autumn, and, cer- tahily such a change would be com- pletely out of harmony with such simple cotton gowns as those cleaning our attention to -day.

You see then that there are two ships one behind the other, and both, by all the laws of German calculation, should be in Da- vy Jones' locker. But they are not. One, a Standard 011 tanker, one of the biggest tank steamers in the world, was rammed, on fire for days, and sunk, and all that not so very long ago, but there she is, on the point of returning to America. Her funnels are out of the straight and their cor- augation'is a etudy. Her decks have been waved by the heat and rise and fall from stem to stern. Forward a mass of old iron lies twisted in fan- tastical shapes, but she is seaworthy afar repairs, and is returning, not ae a eurioaity, nor even as -an ex- ample of what the British salvage ex- perts can do, but as a cargo -carrying ship, a real and serviceable unit in the fight against Prussian militarism. The meaning of British salvage work to the Allies is told in that story of the tanker, 516 feet by 68 feet by 36 feet, which has been sunk and is aflolt again. In the dark of an early morning she collided with a United States standard ship, earryirig a gen- eral ean ago including crude ail iher false bottom. The tanker, which `was carrying benzine, naptha, paraf- fin and petrol, was etruck in her ben- zine tank and in a few Minutes was burning furiously. Hardly had the crash occurred before a British de- stroyer had hurled herself alongside the tanker, the crew and officers of the latter had jumped overboard her without further discuseion and the destroyer was off like the wind, And well sne might for soon a quarter of a mile of sea was ablaze with burn- ing oil, On the tanker„ onlyeone or two casualties occurred; on the stan- dard ship many men were lost. Ae she struck the tanker a great tongue of flame leaped from the latter's side and fell like a hand upon the other's deck, feem end to end, firing the car- go in the hold. For some time these two vessels blazed in the burning sea, but when the rescuing tugs came on the scene, a naval commander with three of the crew of a tug brave- ly boarded the blazing wreck qf the (standard snap . The neagazine had alreaty expttcled and so intense was the heat that it was only poesible to board on the quarter. They made fast ;ale hawsers from two tugs, and for 'nye -hours they tweed her toward eand. Then a mine exploded, and broke one hawser, and next, two !mines exploded under her quarter, ?tearing another hole in her in addi- tion to the damage done by the colli - Ion. She was still afloat and burn- ing fiercely that evening and it was decided to sink her 80 as to put out ;the flames. Thirty to forty shots • ,were fired at her water line avoiding the engine room, and the vessel be - igen to sink and grounded at the base ot certain of those chalk cliffs which .run along the southeast and south coast of England. Similarly the tank- er had been towed In elsewhere and sunk, being also alight. during the tow. Thi a incident represents the first phases of the work of the salvage ships, the rush to the reueue Df a tor- pedoed, mined, or, in this east, burn - bag ship, the towing her near to tthe landeand the beaching. It Is rarely necessary, of course, to sink vessels by gunfire. Then conies the salving of the wreck. Many things have been standardized in this war, but there is no standard method of salving a wreak. Ilvery problem has to be con- eidered separately, in the light of such facts as the character of the ship, its position, ettzereo and so forth. Some- times the problem is found unsoluble, in s� far as the Meta:Muria hecesearY to raise the vend would be greater than her value- to the nation when Salved. When, however, a vessel has I 1111,„11 .11 a 111.1 beached herself, or been beached by the tugs, ehe le fairly certain to be netted.

A stage is reached when it becomes postale to get the pumps to work on the whole ship, and pos- eibly to float her. To eater° the; re- sult in the case or a torpedoed. or mined ve,ssel, the big hole has to be patched, yet, patched, with a "stand- ard" patch, made of 12 -inch -thick wooden beams. The pati is generally In three pieces, and on one ship, for example, which the writer saw, the Patch weighed about 20 tons. The mid- dle part weighed about 10 tons, the lower part, following the curve of the ship, weighed about six tons, and the upper part five tom This patch is slung over tile side and Lolted la post - tion partly or wholly, by the divers.

These standard patches are used repeatedly, and o11 the day of the writer's visit, one was on its way down from Newcastle. There is hardly any limit to. the size of hole that can be temporarily- filled by a standard patch -on the tanker the hole of the starboard side forward was 21 feet 6 inches wide, and 41 feet 6 inches long and 25 feat wide. When a vessel has had the boles in her plugged or patched, part of her cargo removed and the water pumped out of her; she proceeds -under her own steam very likely -to t he neapest port where she can be permanehtlY repaired In the present crowded condition of British porta and dry docks she may have to go some dis- tance,. and may have adventures by the *Tay. One ship was torpedoed, but aot sunk, and naade good with a stan- dard patch. She proceeded on her way and was torpedoed again, the hole be- ing made exactly opposite the stand- ard patch. This time she was beaehed, patched up again, taken Into the near- est dry dock and permanently repair- ed.

Glass was first manufactured in Amer- Icn by the people of Jamestown, Va., during the year 1810. Commenting on this fact, John Smith lamented that "the lab- or of the colony has been misdirected in the manufacture of ashes, soap, elm and tar, in which they could by no means compete with Sweden or Russia." The inhabitanta of Jamestown did not agree with this view, however, and soon afterward commenced the erection of s, glass works, the eornpleCon of which was interrupted by the Indian massacre of 1822.

In starting with poultry in the past, little attention was paid toward tne conditions in which the fowls were to live. Few thought the matter of en- vironraent played the big part that is now becoming so well known. It has • become a recognized fact that the measure of success will depend large- ly on the conditions or • environment in which the fowls are kept. To be successful the poultry -keeper must try and obtain the idea ]ground and con- ditions that go with it. Comfort and • health are the main factors in success- ful poultry -keeping and it is here that poultry success Is due to tha part en- vironment plays. - Unaided by man, the fowls pdaced on clean, well -drained soil, a healthy climate and with the Ilia of good feed and proper housing, success is assured. Without resorting to artificial meth- ods that so many poultry -keepers are forced to adopt to obtain the best re- sults, a little forethought, in the selec- tion, especially if on a large scale, will save in dollars and make success assured. The too big farm and the too little farm have often prevented the highest measure of success. A poor location has many times placed the poultry -keeper at a disadvantage, both as to soil conditions and in making the product. A measure of success has been attained by the city dweller with the backyard flock, where not a blade of grass was grown and with no protection from the heat of the sum- mer sun, save the roof of a small poul- try building. But More often failure to grow chicks and keep up a fair pro- duction of eggs fronl the hens has been the result, Profits in poultry in the past have been due to the xnanagement. Big plants have succeeded and some have failed. The same can be said of the back yard poultrykeeper. The hen is not at fault, hut it has been the man- agement and largely the environment. The poultry -keeper that has a lack of natural conditions so essential to real success starts out with it handicap which can only be overcome by his forethought In aedirig nature in every way by artificial means. The back yard poultrykeeper must in a measure try and supply the es- sentials that the farm flock has, nat- ural ttbade, clean soil, grass or green food In some form.. The fernier in many geet10118 has goo:I soil, grass and shade, 'which, if properly Put to use for the poultry, gives them the envir- elinlent that is 80 essential to success. The backyard poultry -keeper teed many times the commercial poultry plant, which as a rule has been placed on 6 limited amount of ground, .nek all Oleo essentials, end this as a tette has not been supplied, with the resint that the fowls do not, cutlet, do their best, and the poorer the conditions the less the profit, if any. $o far the poultry keeper who hes little of real farni tonditions the mei- ficial methods Must be resorted to, In as far as it Is possible, The lack yard poultry keeper who has a few good standard -bred hone, • or i ;mg stock now maturing, should first of all istinnlY green feed each day in tome ferneeelitivg eating*, cabDaint, bacs tr 1 Thin Eady Hair orThici aridlicalthy? scalp cared for by Cuticura usually Means thick, glossy hair, Frequent ehampooe with Caticura Soap are ex- cellent, Precede shampoos by touches of Cuticara Ointment to spots of dan- druff, itching and irritation of 11M 43ca1p.

BREAKING UP A BROODY 1EN, The two important factors in break- ing up a hen are that she be confined where she cannot get bac kto the nest, and that she be collect off as soon as possible. A coop or a crate with a slat or wire bottom seems to be most satisfactory far this purpose. During very hot weather a %Kea outside, with wire sides and a dirt floor or a email yard on the north side or a house or under a tree. Is son1etimes more com- fortable for the hens. A breddy hen should be broken up tea soon as she stops laving. Some hens appear to be broody for eeveral days and still *continue to lay. Con- fining the hen in a broody coop be- fore she stops laying usually means the loss of the egg through breakage. On the other hand if a hen is allowed to remain on the nest several days after ahe stops laying it becomes in- creasingly difficult to break her up, and much more time is lost. It is ueus,lly safe to braak up any broody b.en that is found on the nest two nights in succeseion. • The length ef time which a hen should be confined will vary some- what with difterent individuals. The common practice is to confine them three days and nights s and if they then go back to the nets put them ID for three more. There seems to be some discussion as to whether or not-breody hens should be fed during confinement, but a careful consideratioa of the' facts of the case seems' to Indicate that they should. Broodineas usually follows a period of heavy IProd4ct1on, and the broody hen is ueually thin rather than over fat, asds commonly believed. The object in breaking up a hen is to con- tinue productioa, and if the hen can be broken up and, at the same time store up nourishment for production, just that much time will be.save& • The broody hen should not be over fed. Corn and other high carbohydrate teed should be avoided. A small amount of dry mash where the hen can reach it will furnish the necessary platten!, and no hen will overeat on dry mash alone. 'Water should always be pros vided. Do not condemn and sell the broody hen. Broodiness fellows production. and will be followed by preductioh if the hen is broken up at ohee and given half -a thance.-Roy E.

Awed by the bishop's presence she hesitated to speak to him, waiting for what she considered a favorable op- portunity. Finally, seeing some ban- anasvassed, she turned to him and said: "I beg your pardon, but are you fond of bananas?" The bishop was slightly' deaf, and leaning forevard, replied: "What did you say?" "Are you fond of bananas?" repeat- ed the young lady, blushing.
