(Extract from an address delivered at the last annual convention of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' A.seocietion by Paul Work, Cornell University.) Ever year sees the work of grading eating a larger figure in the work of marketing vegetables than it did before. Grading was onee unknown, To -day the producer of fruits aud vegetables is fol. lowing (dose upon the trail of the manu- facturer who long ago realized the neces. eity of uniformity. The eitrue people took the lead in this. The western apple shippers were next, with the vegetable ehippere elose upon their heels, The pro. gresseve market gardeners ere now awake to the fact that two gnarled cucumbers eut the price of the whole bushel. hundreds. of growers are etill etileep, Every man and every community must make its own plan of grading. What suits one market dace not atilt enother. Many are diecouraged in setting the standard high because the lower grades are becoming increasingly difficult to sell, We ha,d to diseard a considesable proportion of the second grade tomato ?ei at Cornell during the past season, but it paid. At one time ordinary run -of - the -field fruit was bringing twenty-five cents a baeket. Our primes mid at forty cents, and seconds at twenty and twenty- five cente. Seconds are not Wanted in large quan- tity on most markets. Many hold that the moral of this is, "Don't grade, If the eonetuner doesn't want . eeconle, make them take them with the beet." But the true moral le, "Don't grow seconds." Of course, there will be Aome inferior fruit, but if by selecting a vell- bred etrain of a good variety, and by giving the best of eulture, we can reduce the secondto very low proportiena, e will not mind leaving a, few culla in the A COMMON MISTAKE. One of the most common mietakes in grading is in reducing the standards when the price drops, When markets are glutted, tho question ceases ,to be one of securing a high price'but It be- comes a, question of moving the crop or letting it rot. People continue to uee the product, and that in large quan- tities. They are willing to pay a price Which will cover marketing eost and a good. share of production, but the gOes. tion is, Which grower sells or which dose not? Naturally, the one with the ,best sena The following clipping, which Is typical of a large number that ap- peared in our trade papers last . eon, furnishes good evidence an this point: "Lettuce from state points has been in free receipt, and much has been sold for lees than charges. Fanev, heayv-headed stock is worth fifty to seventy-five eente a bushel, but average grades neglected at ten to twenty-five cents a package." The time of oversupply le the tirne when grading counts. The grower has established his trade on a basis of qual- ity, and by maintaining that basis he is able to hold on while theeether fellow drops out. Moreover, Mr. Grader eisll holds the trade when the market picks up, It is by no means easy to maintain a standard of grading. One naturally de - elves a maximum of primes and a mini- mum of Seconds, and • be even uncon- sciously tends downward. With hired help, the problem is much more difficult. The first essential is to form a mental image of the standard for each grtitle, working it out carefully and making it neither too high nor too low. Fix thee standards as far as possible by the use of sizing boards and the like. Constant and rigid inspection is then neceseary. If a large ,quantity Is handled, each worker should have a .number to be placed in each basket. Thus responsi- bility is fixed. just here is one 'of the greatest advantages of machine grading. A machine is free from the failing of ltuznan nature. wwwwwwwww....1.8wwwwwwwwwww Bright, Ruddy Cheeks for Pale Girls No Longer Any Need to be Pale, Weak or Anaemic.

HEN,'s AS FARMERS' AIDS. Wily it ie that guinea hone are not more universally kept on the farm le a mystery. For the trouble and expense required in raising them they are ain. ong the most profitable fowls that eaa be had. They are much better ineect dee- tro,vere than hens and will not 'sera -tell So badly, fact, they will destroy many insects that hens will not disturb, Ouch as the gooeeberry worm and the Potato bug. Given their liberty, a flock Of about 20 guinea henwill forage over a farm of 50 to WO :vacs and by their pereiatettee in hunting bugs and insecte secure practically all they want to eat. Hence that is the way they should he kept, In point of truth it is not profi- table to attempt to raise them 01181114 raoges. When eooped up the emus as barnyard fowls they will not thrive evell. .A.bout the only objeetion to guinea hens is the noise they make. They are reaeonably quiet enough uuless some- thing disturbs them, when they will thea give the alarm, at once, and whether ani- mal or human being keep up their shrill cries until they are left in peace again. Hawks therefore have little chance to pounce down upon poultry when tiles; are neat, and for this reason they are of inestiraable value in guarding fowls of all kinds. Guinea liens do not lay as large au egg as the henebut it is just as good to eat, being of a rich flavor, and there area great nueny more of them throw& the eummer. If good for Anything at all, a guinea hen should lay 125 eggs or more in a year. These can generally IA sold at prices almost as good tes hen' eggs. One has to find out where the eggs are laid, however, for guineas will hide their nest e and sometimes in: ob- scure places, yet .by earefully watehing them in the breeding season, the nest is easily disclosed, as the guinea will alwaye make a ellen! 'Wise when she leaves it, thereby leading to its detect. tion. As all the members of the floek lay in one nest, no further trouble after that should be experienced, provided the eggs are gathered properly. It will not do to take the eggs out with the liana. The guinea hen can tell immediately if human hands have tonehed the fleet, and if they have she will leave it at once and eeek another place to lay. The eggs should therefore be removed with st stick or, better yet, with a long -handled spoon or ladle, provided one is alwa,ve left as a nest'egg. They can be gathered every day or two in this way with no danger ineuered of the hens leaving the nest. There.are two varieties of the guinea, the white and the pearl, both of evhieh are of about the same shape and size, but the pearl is considered of a milder disposition than the white, and as a rule is more careful to conceal it nest. Treated well, however, either breed, af- ter roaming the fields in search of worms, bugs and grasshoppers, 'will gen- erally come back near the farm build- ings. t It takes about 30 days for guinea eggs to hatch and when the chicks Brat come out they are quite wild, but kind treatment and feedlng from the hand evill soon make them tame. The man- agement of them wants to be about the same as that which is ordinarily given to young turkeys. Not until the down on them is replaced hy feathers is it sale to allow them to run out in the wet. A good diet for them consists al table scraps slightly moistened and crumbledblea fine with curds and corn. bread. Sloppy foods should be avoided. They need chick food and grit if eon - fined, and as they age suseeptible to filth, a clean ceop with sanitary sur- roundings is necessary. On attaining full growth their inclination, like turkeys, Is "to rooet hight, but quarters ehould be provided foe them the same as for eannnon poultry. NOTES.

A. THE LATEST FAD, Digestive Crawl as English Journal Sees It. An eminent food specialist has solemn- ly exhorteci all whom it may concern to abandon a perpendicular position after meals. He has discovered, sit be avers, that the only sure way of getting food to assimilate quickly is to crawl about a room on all fours. 'When he says "all fours' f is not made quite clear whether one is to adopt the infantile method of prog-ression, which 14 to go, upon tile hands and knees, or whether the correct attitude is to walk eh the palms of the hands, using the feet in the usual way, which of course, places one at an entirely different angle, glying • one in short a kangaroolike effect. Perhaps it does not much matter how one floes so long as one is, so to speak, in.the four 'legged attitude, which is said to be an infanble means of promoting digestion. But assuming that the dis- covery Is every whit as. efficacious as this French specialist avers. It is not quite easy to see how we are to exer- cise ourselves. Apparently, says, the English Lady's Pictorial, there is much that. we have yet to understand. For example, much depends on the In- terval of time that may be permitted between the dinner and the digestive crawl. Suppose on's dining hour to be o'cicick, would it do to deranaulate one's chamber on all fours in the dead waste and middle of the night when one would naturally be more suitably attired for the exercise and when one be able to en- joy privacy? If it is neeessary to fall upon one's hands and knees or one's hands and feet as the ease may be, directly after dinner, In order to make the process of digestion complete then an entirely new aspect ot at.he cure presents itself. We forsee many difficulties, to- say nothing of the humor of the situation. Even assutninK that the scene is a private house at which guests are generally entertained to dinner what is to happen, one wonders, when it is obvious the meal is over? Is the hostess, instead of "collecting. eyes" to signal to the servants to clear the room? And is she then to drop on all fours herself as an indication to her guests that they take their digestive crawl?
