BIGBEST, FACTOR Consideration Should Be Given to Methods of Construction Which Will Lessen Possibility of Loss in Shipping. Prepared by the United States ment of Agriculture Depart-- , Important factors uffecting the use of crates in marketing fruits and vegetables were carefully studied by a specialist of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, during a recent trip The first of these is the need of manufacturers m riking a more rigid Inspection of materials used. Wh le most manufacturers make an effort to have their stock inspected and to use only good material, in some cases this attempt Is frustrated by the failure of the workman to understand end appreciate the Ideal which is guiding his employer. Many crate-miemployees seem to cherish the old Idea that because the crate Is a gift package It should be made as cheaply as possible, using any sort of material so long as there Is a chance of Its holding together, thus reducing the cost to the grower and shipper. . The Grower's Responsibility. The crate manufacturer having done his part in providing materials free from defects, the grower or shipper should see to H that the crate Is not spoiled in being made up In his packing house or field. Growers and shippers should remember that the nailing together of the crate is one of the biggest factors in determining whether the container is to be strong and substantial or weak and productive of damage claims. ; Cement-coated nails, not less than in size, should always be used, and care should be taken to see that they are, properly spaced and placed. Greater care is perhaps necessary In making up crates for express shipments than for car-lo- t freight shipments, due to the more frequent handling they must undergo. For either method of shipiptng consideration should be given to methods of construction which will lessen the pos- - Prepared by the United States Depart, ment of Agriculture.) Guinea fowl are growing in favor as a substitute for game birds, with tha result that guinea raising is becoming more profitable. Guinea fotfrls are raised, usually, in small flocks on gen, era! farms, and need a targe range for best results. Domesticated guinea fowl are of three varieties. Pearl, White and Lavender. The Pearl is by far the most popular, say specialists of the United Fowls' Fatal States Department of Agriculture.

The hens begin to lay, usually, in April or May, and will lay 20 to 30 eggs before becoming broody. If not allowed to set they will continue to lay throughout the summer, laying from 40 to 60 or more eggs. Eggs may be remoied from the nest when the guinea hen Is not setting,, but two or more eggs should be left In the nest , Ordinary hens are used commonly to hatch and rear guinea chicks, but guinea hens and turkey hens are nsed successfully, although they are more difficult to manage. Guineas are marketed late in the summer, when they f weigh from one to one and pounds, at about two and months old, and also through the fall when the demand is for heavier birds. one-hal- one-ha- lf GRASS SEASON QUITE SHORT Seldom Profitable to Pasture Stock Before May 1 and Pastures Are Dry , , by September. Few of ns realize how short the grass season really is north of the Mason and Dixon line. It Is customary to consider It as six months. But this is stretching It pretty far. It Is seldom if ever profitable to turn stock on pasture mnch before May 1, and almost , always pastures are about dried up In September. ' So, actually, there are only about four months that pastures can be depended upon. This is worth keeping In mind when planning the size of the silo or silage field figure on eight months of feeding. The man whose stock goes through the winter best is the one that doesnt allow them to become thin before frost. CHEAP NESTS FOR CHICKENS Sh owing i Results of Poorly Crated Lettuce. affinity of loss. An Instance of this Is the use of the web" or cleated side for celery crates, The slats are stapled to the cleats in the factory, making but one piece to each side to handle in the field instead of three. It also insures even spacing of the slats and gives an extra thickness for holding the nail3. thus counteracting any tendency of the slats to split and come away from the nails.. Some celery growers are experimenting with a patent crate which Is with wire around the ends, and the body of the crate. In actual use the end wires were twisted together to close the package, it being found impracticable, owing to the height of the ealary,, to twist the center wires together. There is no doubt of the strength of this type of crate. Need of Whatever the type of crate used. It Is the duty of the manufacturer to supply good material, accurately cut and This much properly put together. the purchaser of crates should demand and should expect to pay for. Having secured It he should do his part by seeing that the crates are made up In a workmanlike manner, and, after packing, that they are properly closed and fastened for slrpment. By manufacturers and such growers can feel better assured that the crate will measure up to the ideal a fruit and vegetable pai age: that It shall carry the commodity intact from the grower through the sale market to the retailer. whole- BANTAMS INTEREST CHILDREN Few of Small Fowls Keep Young People Out of Mischief and Teach Them to Like Poultry. , '' Bantams are very interesting to children, and even if it does not pay In dollars and cents to keep a small flock of bantams' yet many families have found a few of these small fowls useful to interest the children, keep them out of mischief and tench them to like poultry.

FARMING FOR LIVING URGED If Farmers Would Produce What They Need for Home Use , Markets Would Be Better. More More farming for af living should be done nnd there will be less risk of poor markets. If most farmers would produce what they could for home use the markets would be required to take less and as a result there would be less strain on them. The way to have markets is to save and conserve what Use your markets only you have. when it is necessary to sell the sur- plus you cannot rat or feed. INJURE WOOD SILOS PAINTS Use of Preservatives for Coating Not as Much In Favor as Formerly They Do No Good. , v, - ( When wood silos were first being Introduced great pains were taken in coating them with tar paint, or something of that sort to preserve the wood, but this practically has gone out of use. Experiments show that these paints do but little good, and again, they are somewhat Injurious to the silage, says the Michigan Fanner.

American Sapphire Fields a shrub in clumps ' with tall, slender stems 6 to 10 feet or more in height; also frequently as a tree up to 20 or 30 feet high, with a trunk 5 to 10 inches In diameter. The leaves of poison sumac are divided Into 7 to 13 leaflets, arranged In pairs with a single leaflet at the end. The avoidance of shrubs growing In low land with leaves of this general character is a safe rule for persons not well acquainted with poison sumac. Poison sumac is often confused with elder, certain kfnds &f ash, and various other shrubs and trees bearing somewhat similar foliage; also with dogwood, to which it bears no resemblance. Its loose, drooping clusters of flowers, followed by smooth, ivory-whft- e fruits, are readily distinguished from the densely covered upright terminal spikes of the harmless sumacs. Other differences are readily notfee-able- , such as the wing-lik- e growth ahmg the margins of the leaf stalks of the dwarf sumac and the hairy coverings of the leafstalks and .twigs of the staghorn sumac. After exposure to poison tvy, measures to insure the removal of the poi-sJ-n are of primary importance. At first the poison is on the surface of the skin and may be removed by washing with ordinary kitchen or laundry soap and hot water. Care should be taken, however, not to spread the poised by careless washing. Mild cases Of ivy poisoning generally subside within a few days and do not cause alarm. Fatal cases, however, have occurred, and where the Inflammation is extensive or severe, a physician should be consulted. In the early stages of ivy poisoning, remedies having a fatty or oily base, such as ointments, should not be used, as the grease or oil tends to dissolve and spread the poison, say specialists of the Department of Agriculture. Instead . they advise simple remedies, such as local application of solutions of cookihg soda or of Epsom salt, one or two teaspoonfuls to a cupful of w'ater. Fluid extract of grindetia. diluted with four to eight parts of water, Is often used with success. Solutions of this kind may be applied with Itght bandages or clean cloths, which should be kept moist and should be changed and discarded frequently to avoid infection. During the night, or when moist applications cannot be used, the poisoned surfaces should be carefully cleaned and dried and left exposed to the air rather than tightly bandaged. In the later stage, after the toxic material has exhausted itself, ointment and similar mild antiseptics and astringent applications hasten healing. ztnc-oxl- d Wa Wonder. Canadian Fisheries Rich.
