To eliminate fraud In the marketing
of fruits ntnd vegetables by the sub

nt fulbmensure prices Is one .of the
principal objects of spcclnllsts of the
United -States Department of Agricul
ture (now mnkhig n study of -the hun
dreds -of different types X)f contain
ers In uso. For exatnple, baskets
which contain seven-eighths or a
bushel are Trcquently used as bushel
baskets, It being difficult to detect the
short mensure. In Fnrmers' Bulletin
TWO, from the bureau of markets,
ijust ipublished by tho department, "the
specialists discuss the need for -stand-nrd
containers for fruits and vege
'tables and describe how the public Is
sometimes defrauded because of the
'tanny types nnd sizes oT 'containers

Multitude of Sizes Increased TJnst.
The serious lack ,of uniformity of
containers increases the 'ot of mar
keting, sny the specialists, becnuse of
the grenter expense of manufacturing
n 'lnrge number of .unnecessary styles
nnd sizes nnd by breakage In transit,
which Is sometimes 'directly nttrlbut
able to the difficulty of loading odd-
sized containers. There nre in com
'mon use at present mbout '40 sizes of
cabbage crates, 20 styles of celery
crates, 30 lettuce rrntes or : boxes, 50
styles nnd sizes ol hampers, 15 styles
nnd sizes of roTrndstnve baskets nnd
mnrketing bnskets "varying in size from
1 to 24 qunrts, -wherens relatively

No Standard "Hamper.
The federal standard bnrrel lnw nnd
tho United States (container act, which
establish standard containers, have
done away with :u Inrgemumber of un
necessary sizes -of 'barrels, berry boxes

ened n widespread -demand for the np-
plicntlon of the snme principle to
other contnlncrs, -Btxya 'the bulletin. At
present there Is no 'standard hamper,
which is one of the imost widely used
types of containers, especially popu
lar In the eastern und central states.
Almost 30.000,000 of these bnskets are.
Baskets Which Contain Seven-Eighths
of a Bushel Are Frequently Used,
used annually. The sizes of hampers
which are recommended by the bureau
of mnrkets of the Department of Ag
riculture ns being sufficient in num
ber to satisfy all legitimate require
ments of the trade are as follows:
8-quart, or 1 peck; 10-quart, or one
half bushel; 82-quart, or 1 bushel;
48-quart, or 1 bushels. It Is sug
gested that the latter be made in two
styles tb meet the preference in va
rlons parts of the country.
The round-stave bnsket, for which
there te no standard, is popular In nil
regions except the southern nnd Mid
dle Atlantic stntefj, nnd on the Pnclflc
coast. About 20,000,000 such baskets
nre manufactured annually. The sizes
which are recommended as standards
by the bureau of markets are the
same as those recommended for the
hamper, except for the elimination of
the 8-quart size. Tho Bplint, or
veneer, baskets, for which there are
nlso no standards, are well known to
the public ns market bnskets. The
sizes which ere proposed by tho bu
rcnu of mnrkets are five in number
I, 8, 12, 10 and 24 quart.

When the prairie regions of the Mid

sweep of the winds across the plains
was n grertt hindrance to agriculture,
for the soil was dried out quickly by
evaporation, grain was lodged, and or
chards injured by the force of the
wind. Windbreaks were the only rem
edy nnd thousands of miles of them
were planted along roads and farm di
vision lines. The effect of this plant

very distinct; farming and living con
ditions became more favorable through
out the whole region.

DAIBLY
FACTS
RULES FOR FEEDING CALVES
Desired Nutrwts Furnished by Giv
ing Youfia AMmal Variety Avoid
Sudden Changes.
(Prepared by the Unltod States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Feeding Is an Important factor In
developing u good breeding nnlmnl,
or n favorite In the show ring. There
arc mnny paints to be remembered.
These points may be called rules of
feeding, nmong which speclnllsts of
the United Stntes Department of Ag
riculture give the following:
1. Provide n variety of feeds nt nil
times, If possible. It Is easier to sup
ply the proper amounts of the duslred
nutrients which the calf needs If
several different feeds are used. Tim
ration will also be more palatable.
2. Do not make sudden chnnges in
the feeds used or in the amounts giv
en, if it becomes necessary to change
feeds from, say, clover to alfalfa liny,
Grain In Medium Amount, Fresh Wa
ter and Pasture Are Necessary for
Success With Calves.
feed part clover and pnrt nlfnlfn for
u few days. Gradually reduce the
amount of clover nnd at the same time
Incrense the nlfnlfn.
3. Do not overfeed the cnlf. Feed as
much grain us It will clean up In 30
minutes nnd wish It hnd just n little
more. Feed left In the trough to he
brenthed over Is worse thnn. wnstcd.
If any remulns It should be removed
and less given the next time. Digestive
disorders occur from feeding too much
rather than too little.
4. Do not underfeed the cnlf. It
should mnke n continuous gain. If
It does not grow each day the feed
given It Is nbout the snme n wnstcd.
It never pnys to starve a calf. In
fact, the cnlf does not begin to pay
for feed until It Is given more than
enough to mnke some gnin,
f. Do not nnnoy or disturb the cnlf
unneccssnrlly. It requires more feed
to keep It growing while standing or
moving about than while lying down
at rest.
0. Do not feed moldy, musty, or
spoiled feeds. To do so muy cnuse
serious digestive disorders. All hnys
should be bright, well enred, nnd free
from mustlncss, dirt, nnd conrse weeds
The grain nlso should lie free from
dirt, mold, und mustlness. If ground
feeds get wet they nre likely to mold
This Is pspecinlly true of cottonseed
meal nnd ground corn.
7. Do not waste time In feeding the
cnlf, or in preparing feed, since wnsted
time needlessly Increnses the cost or
gains. Grain should be fed whole ex
ccpt when touching the calf to ent und
possibly nlso near the end of the fit
ting or finishing period. Whole grain
us n rule is more palatable than ground
feeds. Ear corn may he shelled,
broken, or chopped up In the feed box
rather than ground. Husks on snapped
com need not bo removed for this pur
pose. It rarely pnys to shred stover
or to cut or chaff liny for the cnlf.
It need not he fed threo times n. dny
when twice n duy ylll do ns well, nl
though the former may bo practiced
when fitting the animal for show or
snle. Do not go to tho expense of buy
ing prepared "stock feeds" or "reme
dies." lIomcmIxcd feeds nrc chenper
nnd equally, If not more, satisfactory.
A healthy calf does not need condi
tion powders.
ENCOURAGE FENCE JUMPERS
Dilapidated Fencing Is Source of Con.
stant Trouble for Owner of
Dairy Herd.
Half broken down fences help to
teach the cows to lie fence Junipers.
Heifers that nre constantly Jumping
the fences In easy places are dlfllcult
to break In later life and nothing Is
more wasteful of time nnd patience
than constantly chasing your cuttlo
out of your neighbor's crops or your
own. flood fonclng Ih necessary equip
ment for the dairyman nnd poor fenc
ing Is n constant risk.
GIVING YOUNG CALVES MILK
Care Should Be Taken That Tempera,
ture Is Uniform When Poor In
Quality, Give Less.
Care should he taken to seo that
qny milk fed to the young cnlves Is
of uniform temperature of ubout 00
degrees Fahrenheit. Many feeders at
tempt to overcome poor quality In the
feed by Increasing the qunntlty. This
Is radically wrong. When on account
of age, souring, dirt, etc., the quality
of the milk Is poor, the qunntlty
should be reduced rather thon Increased.

Nynck, N. 1. Judge Charles W.

Judgo Hnughcy said tlmt the couple

they presented n wild nppenrnnce.

thnt he found the man sitting on tho

thnt ho nnd his fnmlly came from tho
Interior of the llnmnpo mountains,
northwest of SufTcrn. Tho interior is
n desolate place, Inhabited by a few
hnlfhreed Indians, moonshiners and
"Jackson whites."
Thompson's only gnrmonts were.n
blue flunnol shirt, n pair of old trousers
held up by a twisted rope nnd n pair of
old shoes. Judge Haughcy was unnblo

uor hnd they over seen pencil or pnper.
The two youngeBt children wcren bov

almost nnked.
