Experience makes experts at this and a well -finished pack costs hardly a shadow more than one which shows a rough and uneven surface.. You are doubtleas interested. in the cost ur some of these thinge. For three summers I worked on a vegetable farm where a smelting system bad been established, making use of the Diamone market bas- ket. Picidue in the field cost a cent a basket, piecework.

LA.BEL YOUR GOODS. Nothing adds more to the aPPearanoe oe yopr goods than attractive and force- ful labelling. I can best illustrate bY example. Mr. Green Greeter 'phones to his commission house for a hamper of lettuce. IL C011.1e8 and it proves to be good. The packer had had good lettuce and he bas been careful, though he only makes one grado of his crop. Mr, Groc- er wants more. Again he 'phonee and geteetegbaloper. This one looks just like the other, bearing on the top inereis the name of the conmaisslon merchant and e number tor identification. But this timo he receives the prosuee of ant ther grower who makes three grades. This taisket contains the third. Next daY Mr. Grocer goes deevn town, calls on his dealer and sees the first grade teeth Otto grower, peeked in a box, and Well labelled. Hs sees his error and thenee- forward orders the distinctive neark an advance in price. This happella re. nen tedly with other grocers and grotters. The poor lettuce has spoiled the trade in unmarked stuff and all such passes for culls, or nearly so. The man with the label reaps the profit.

'When a hen is laying, hed pelvic bonee, locate ddirectly under the vent are spread apart, the width of from one to four fingers. When shals not laying, ,only one or two fingers may be placed between these bones, Thus one may tell whieh hen is in laying condition and Which Is not.

There ere thousands of people in the country who could materially reduce their living expenses by keeping poultry .--the number according to the size of the back yard, lot or email farm on the out-' skirts Of . any city. There are many Who are doing thie, keeping from a dozen to 200 fowls, and malting money. On the farm pOtlitry raising blends with other liries of evork, although the average farm- er, busy with other work during the spring and summer, seldom thinks so, except when eggs are around the 50 cent marka and the few (many times) com- mon stock are not producing. a single egg, either for sale or for family use. - Chickens on the farm destroy obnoxious bugs and worms, and earn a grater part of their early life at a. email cost. As a purely business proposition, spec- ialtry poultry raising should hot be taken up witheut preliminary experience and an understanding of the businees. There Is -nee mysterious knowledge that one cannot grasp to make a euccess of poultry. It Is an open book to all who evill observe and think.

Here are directions for killing poultfy: "The knietes in common 1180 in bleeding and braining poultry are not suited to their purpoSe. The blades are tOte broad and too long and the curve at the point should be an the back instead of on the cutting edge.

The fact that poor layers were found after yearn of careful breeding does not'prove that the peodue- tion of the best layers was not increa,sed.

The secRIS WhiCh the heavy -lay- ing hen. lays must be filled with the life germs in order to produce prolific off- spring. That is, a hen must not only be a good layer. but she must have the power of transmitting this trait to her - offspring. This is a factor in breeding that we must consider -the transmitting Dower of .the parents, We have noticed both in stock and poultry breeding that $ome fine individuals -both male and fe- male, do not have the power of trans- mitting their qualities to their offspring. Still. to produce heavy layers, we must breed from heavy layers, There is tin other course to toilets'. Massing as many favorable factors as we can gives us a degree of succese preportion. Prolifeacy is not in the breed, not in the feed, but in those fac- tors wbieh form the first life. The possi- bilities of the hen and the prepoteney of the male are both determined right here, and nothing can cha,nge or alter it. Good rare and feeding only aid the heti to de- velop and do the best with what Nature, has endowed her. Environment may have much to do in bringing forth pro- lific fowls. for it may go back of even the development of the parents to the best they are capable. Profeesor Gowen, who superintended the experiments at the Maine station, is dead. lie resigned some time before hie; death, and the work was taken up by another, Professor Gowen built Nor the station and himself a reputation, and the line of breeding and methods of management he mapped out have been widely followed and with general suc- cess, Now we are told that the prinei- Ple on which he worked is all wrong: that breeding from the best layere does not increase proficiency: bnt that him work was not a failure la that it cleared the ground for Investigation along other lines. It is hoped that a poeitive method of deterininine. a hen's transmitting pow- er may be discovered. When it is it will be found that this power Is pro- portion to the extont the trait has been intensified in the parents, The whole secret lies in inbreeding. for Inbreeding Intensifies eharacter,which are alike in both parents, 1.'111s is one reason WhY there was not more Improve- ment in the flock the main station. Under the belief that inbreeding weak- ens the constitulonai vigor, new blood was used too prOmiscuousiy, and instead of intensifying the raying trait, it was dissipated. •:• - Inbreeding Is nature's way of build- ing up and maintaining pure races. It has been practiced toe produce every breed In the standare, and no bird that .ever won a prize at a poultry show was ever produced without inbreeding to some extent. If inbreeding is necessary to produce outward oonfirmation and feather. Why Is It not necessary to pro- duce or intensify internal qualitiee? It is lust as certain to do this as the sun is rite.

The powers and duties of the Lo" I'd Mayor of London, in presiding over hie square mile of territory, preeent some curious features. Theoretically, et least, the consent of this important personage must be obtained before even the King Mae enter the city of London; at the same time, it may be pointed out, the Lord Mayor *Vends a considerable portion of each morning disposing of Petty ()Mindere againet the majesty of the law in the small area over which he rules, Most of them& are plain "drunks." Imagine Ms mayor of New York, of Boston, or o,f Chicago engaged in the dispensation of such Solomon -like justice, The "city" in London cernerlees but one Hiallprre mile, the greater part whereof Is occupied by the great busi- ness houses that control the financee of the world. For instan.ce, there is the 13ank of 4ngland containing a re- serve fund of $100,000,000 in gold. Twenty-eight soldiers are detailed to guard the treasure within, but without it is still further watched, inasmuch as within the square mile raentioned there eirculate no fewer than MO policemen. After 9 o'clock in the ev- .ening the ailence Of the streets there is broken only by the alow tread of the "bobbies," It would be a bold berglar, indeed, wine attempted work tbis well -guarded area. The result of all this is that as downright criminals give the "city" a wide berth, tbe eltief offenders haled before the Lord Mayor in the morning are those who have looked upon the wine when it was red in the cup, The Lord Mayor's salary is t'ffiCO that of the Prime Minister, He re- ceives as much pay as does the Presi- dent of the 'United States. He is the hwieleds.t salaried magistrate in the It ie not to be assumed, however, that, aside from disposing of the morn- ing's "drunks," the Lord Mayor has nothing. to do. One such official, 1V11C kept a record of nis activities during the course of one year, has tabulated for our information some interesting figures in. this connection. It appears that he attended 85 balls and recep- tions, 365 meetings and comnaittees. He delivered 1,109 speeches and paid 20 state visits to churchets. When the .above-mentioned class of duties militates against his dispeesa- tion of justice, a brother alderman takes the Lord Mayor's place on thtt bench.-Harper's Weekly.

The tight lire round the hips and knees of coats is yielding to a straight fullness. . Some eoats gather at the waietline, and so descend to the knees, where they eften fortis a point at the baek.
