The Fruit Package
Mr H A Aldrich president of the
Illinois State Horticultural Society in
hiB annual address to the society re
cently said
The fruit growers in the near fu
ture will have to face the question of
fruit package and there had better be
an effort made by all organizations to
have a uniform package If there
had been only a moderate crop of ap
ples in the west this season we would
have faced a barrel shortage As It
was some packers paid as high as 35
cents In our own state for a 2 barrel
and in New York as high as 60 cents
was paid The Canadians suffered
from the same complaint and apple
growers there paid as high as 50 cents
per barrel For foreign markets
where apples have to stand the rough
handling of an ocean voyage the
package will have to be the box and
a good strong one too But for our
home markets it will not be surpris
ing if some certain make of basket
would prove the most profitable to
the grower of choice apples It was
the basket that solved the problem of
disposing of the enormous grape crops
we have been producing It was the
basket in which grapes could be
bought in small quantities and with
out loss that taught the public to eat
grapes Fruit packed In barrels can
be sold only to the middleman but in
baskets it appeals right to the con
sumer But to ship in baskets you
will have to have your cold storage
handy and at picking time run your
apples into cold storage In any shape
that you can handle to the best ad
vantage Then at the right time put
them on the market and there is not
a doubt that they will bring a better
price than if shipped in barrels
Buff Cochins
From Farmers Review After hav
ing tried several of the leading breeds
we tried breeding the Buff Cochins
and to say they are our favorites just
expresses it For early and in fact
all winter layers take the Buff Cochins
by all means as they will positively
lay more eggs from November till
March than any other breed All that
is necessary to get winter eggs from
Buff Cochins is to have early hatched
ones and when laying time is near
feed them wheat and oats or barley
and a little corn at night only Alsc
give green feed if it is handy and
of course green cut bone is good but
not necessary We always keep
plenty of crushed oyster shell in their
pens Also grit We never advise
feeding sloppy feed or mashes of any
kind and believe that in time every
poujtryman will get to feeding dry
feed and whole grains Any breed ol
fowls needs exercis 4 and Cochins
with the rest but not an expensive
arrangement as some advertise Just
partition off the pens with foot boards
every three feet apart for them tc
jump over is a splendid plan and sure
to be beneficial As to beauty where
will you find a breed of fowls thai
are as handsome as a pen of even
colored fluffy loose feathered Bufl
Cochins And when you costs to seh
them on the market there is ooxrt
weight to count to your good and by
the way good eatable chicken meat
We have male birds weighing IS
pounds and females weighing 1C
pounds and not too Tat either Tallt
about turkeys We would not trade
our Cochins for the best turkeys in
the land S P Rolph Winnebago

To Wisconsin Sheep Breeders
Wisconsin can lay claim to being
one of the best sheep breeding states
in the Union The record of her
flocks at the great shows of the coun
try including the International at Chi
cago for the past four years shows
that no state in the Union has brought
so many high class sheep that have
stood at the front in the show rings
as the breeders of this state As
there is no active sheep breeders or
ganization in the state and as request
has been made by many of our leading
flockmasters that such an organiza
tion be perfected during the week of
the Agricultural Convention at Madi
son I take the liberty of issuing a
call to the sheep breeders of Wiscon
sin to meet in the Senate Chamber on
Wednesday evening February 3d at
630 oclock to organize a Wisconsin
Sheep Breeders Association for the
purpose of furthering the sheep breed
ing interests of the state All sheep
breeders are cordially invited to be in

Londons Milk Supply
London is said to use about 160000
gallons of milk per day Up to 1865
all the milk used in the city was
produced within a few miles of the
place where it was consumed but in
that year a great cattle plague visited
the metropolis and carried off so many
cows that the consumers had to draw
their milk supply from a distance
Now milk is brought in from a dis
tance of 150 miles The production
of this milk takes the labor of 30000
persons while the drivers of milk
carts in London number 2000 The
milk for Londons breakfast is drawn
the night before and commences to
arrive in London by 2 a m Within
the next two hours the bulk of the
milk arrives at its destination but
some gets in as late as 8 a m The
Londoners claim that their milk is the
cleanest in the world on account of
the rigid rules relative to the milk
trade

Deati Mb8 Pinkuaii Four years ago I was nearly dead with inflam

to me I had used medicines and washes internally and externally until I
made up my mind that there was no relief for ms Calling at the home of a
friend I noticed a bottle of Lylia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
My friend endorsed it highly and I decided to give it a trial to seeif it would
help me It took patience and perseverence for I was in bad condition and I
used Lydia E Pinkhams v egctahle Compound for nearly five months
before 1 was cured but what a change from despair to happiness from
misery to the delightful exhilarating feeling health always brings 1 woulu
not change back for a thousand dollars and your Vegetable Compound is a
grand medicine
I wish every sick woman would try it and be convinced Mrs Ida
Haskell Silver Lake Mass Worthy Vice Templar Independent Order of
Good Templars
When a medicine has been successful in more than a million
cases is it justice to yourself to say without trying it I do not
believe it would help mo
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and dis
couraged exhausted with each days work You have some
derangement of the feminine organism and Lydia E Pinkhams
Yejretable Compound will help you just as surely us it has others

Dear Mrs Pjjjkiiam I might have been
reared many months of suffering and pain if I
nad known of the efficacy of Lydia E Pink
hams Vegetable Compound a few months
sooner for I tried many remedies without find
ing anything which helped me before I tried tho
Vegetable Compound I dreaded the approach
of the menstrual period every month as it
meant much suffering- and pain Some mouths
the flow was very scanty and others it was pro
fuse but after I had used the Compound for
two months I became regular and natural and so
I continued until I felt perfectly well and the
parts were strengthened to perform the work
without assistance and pain I am like a differ
ent woman now where before I did not care to
live and I am pleased to testify as to the good
your Vegetable Compound has done for inc
Sincerely yours Mrs Tillii Hart LarimoreiND
Be it therefore believed by all women
who are ill that Lydia E Pinkhams Vege
table Compound is the medicine they
should take It has stood the test of time
and it has hundreds of thousands of cures
to its credit Women should consider it
unwise to use any other medicine
