MARKETING VEGETABLES,
Growers of vegetables and. fruits
ehoUld cater to their markets. it is
always best to feel the pulse of the,
buyers, for game vegetabiee that aro
staple on certain marketa are quite
often not so on other markets, Tiles°
facts should be recognized wheu grow-
ing vegetables for Any special market.
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.

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

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

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. • •

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

supporting the patch on tne inside of
the ehip. 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. This sot of thing has happened
more than once.

Of course there is sin explanation
of the delay. The telegram was hand-
ed in at Fleet street pastoffice on
January 22, 1906, at 2.07 p.• na, and
was received at an Essex postoffice at
2.36 p. m. the same day. At that
period telegrams Were placed in a

First Glass in America.
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. The first glass factory in North
America to attempt the industry On an
ambitious scale was built in 1780 68

Iceland is far from being a dreary
waste, for it exports large quantities
of the finest grade of wool in the
world, besedes quantities of hides,
sheepskius, feathers, oil, fish and fish
products and, curiously enough, many
horses. The island has several natu-
ral resourcee that have never been de-
veloped, among them great sulphur de-
dosits. One of them contaihs not less
than 250,000 tons of practically pure
sulphur. There are extensive deposita
of copper ore, This, while of a low
grade, could be worked at a huge
profit, since the water • power is an -
limited and alwaysat hand wherever
the copper is found. There are also

ENVIRONMENT, A BIG FACTOR.
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.

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

necticut.

A young lady sat next to a distin-

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.
