APPLES OF THE NORTHWEST.

Enormous Crop Purchased For Eastsm and European Markets. Contracts bare been closed in Spokane, Wash., by an eastern firm for more than SOOO,OOO worth of Washington and Oregon apples for eastern and European trade, and the purchaser expects to reach the $1,000,000 mark before returning home after looking over the orchards in central Idaho and western Montana. While in Spokane he bought the entire output of first and second grades grown in the Meadow lake orchards, estimated at 80,000 boxes, previous to which he contracted for 90,000 boxes in the Hood river and Mosler districts in Oregon, buying ■also 35,000 boxes from the Dumas orchards at Walla Walla, Wash., and 15,000 boxes from the orchards at Garfield, Wash. The purchaser said the prices received by the growers in the Hood river •district were the highest ever paid for their fruit. His purchases there aggregated more than $200,000, and he paid as high as $2.50 a box, or 5 cents -a pound. He also paid $2.50 and in several instances $2.75 a box for Washington apples Of the first grade. Much of the superiority of the west•ern apple over the product of the New York districts is in the picking and packing. Growers fully understand these advantages, and that is where they are wise. Their fruit is picked .ripe and carefully graded and honestly packed, the result being that buyers are pleased. There is not the least danger that the growers in the northwest will overdo the apple Industry. They could not do that even by doubling or trebling the present orchard area. The apple crop of thei United States was about 1 67,000,000 barrels in 1896, and in no year since then has it amounted to more than 85,000,000 barrels. The present crop will not reach that figure. When it Is considered that the population of the United States has increased probably by 20,000,000 since 1896, while the apple production has fallen from 67,000,000 to 85,000,000 bar-

rels, it can be readily seen that it is out of question to think that the apple growers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Colorado can oversupply the ever increasing market.

Utilizing Barn Manure.

Many farmers are beginning to save their stable and lot manure and also to keep enough live stock to make large enough quantities to justify the use of a spreader. There are few farmers even at this enlightened period who conserve all the available plant food on their farms. There has been much improvement along this line since the days when barns were built without basements and the manure from the stables was thrown outside, there to leach through summer rain and winter snow. Much of the richness of this exposed fertilizer is soaked away into the surrounding soil with the water from rain and snow. The land surrounding these manure piles was often so satu-

rated with this waste as to be unable to support plant life. The strength of this absorbed fertilizer was more than plants could feed upon and live. Experiment has proved that manure thus exposed loses in a few months nearly or quite half its value.

With the building of barns with basement cellars a portion of this waste was prevented, but much of the liquid is still lost on most farms. Cemented manure cellars are the exception, yet they pay a big dividend on money invested. Cement is not expensive. band can be found on most farms, or at least would cost little, and any intelligent man can mix it and spread It. With a cemented cellar and a proper use of absorbents the liquid can be nearly all saved, and it is of more value than the solid, being more readily available for the use of plants. The illustration shows a manure spreader being loaded at the barn.

Beef and Dairy Cattle.

When a dairyman has faced the actual practice of selling cows from bis herd for beef be will not feel encouraged over the outlook of combining beef and dairy qualities in the same herd. There is a popular prejudice against eating beef from an old played out dairy cow, and there Is no advantage in trying to combine the two qualities in one animal.—American Cultivator.

Oats the Best Grain For Horses.

Horses nurtured on oats show mettle which cannot be reached by the use of any other feeding stuff. Then, too, there Is no grain so safe for horse feeding, the animal rarely being seriously injured if by accident or otherwise the groom deals out an oversupply.

Prevention of Rust.

A mixture prepared as follows will keep the agricultural Implements from rusting. Melt together lard and powdered resin, one part of the latter to three of the former, and, if it is de•ired, add a little lampblack. Paint the iron or steel with a brush.

In the Orchard.

All the rubbish in the orchard and garden should be raked up and burned. Many Insect pests may be destroyed In this Way. Scrub stock In the orchard Is as worthless ns scrub stock among the (arm animals.

FOR IRE HOUSEWIFE

Care of Window Shades. New shades should be roiled up for awhile at tirsL The shading Is apt to be new and fresh, which causes It to curl on the edges. Be sure to roll a new shade exactly straight and even on the roller, as it gets its set from the first rolling and will roll the same way afterward. If It is rolled crooted at first It will roll crooked as long as It can be rolled on a roller. In restitching a wornout hem on a shade use as loug a stitch as can be made. A short stitch cuts, and the hem will tear off In a short time. A window shade may be made bright by laying on the floor and cleaning with 11 damp cloth, or spouge and a little soapy water. Be careful not to soak It or make It too weak. Allow It to dry before putting back on the window. Proper Use of the Knife. The knife is invariably held In the right hand and is used exclusively for cutting. The small “butter spread.” as it Is called. Is used only to place the butter upon the bread, and when you are eating It should rest upon the bread and butter plate, or the tip should rest upon the smaller butter dish. When you have cut the desired piece of meat, place your knife at the Bide of the plate and use the fork for conveying the food to the mouth. Never allow the knife to rest, after the fashion of a gangplank, with the handle on the table. v Spoon Etiquette. Never allow your spoon to remain In the bouillon cup while drinking from it. It should only be used to stir beverages once or twice, and after the flavor or temperature has been tested lay it in the saucer, in taking soup the correct motion is from the body in an outward motion, ahd liquids should be taken from the side of the spoon. With grapefruit and fruit cups, hot puddings and custards, fruits

served with cream and when eggs are served in a glass, the spoon is used. Handy Clothesline Reel. Whenever clothes are dried In small places and are difficult of access the clothesline reel designed by a Missouri man will be found a great help. With this reel a lineful of clothing can be drawn in to the post and the clothing removed with ease, obviating the necessity of making a round of the line and collecting the garments in a basket In cases where clothes are bung out of high windows to dry and

REEL FOR CLOTHESLINES.

it is impossible to make rounds of the line on foot such a device is practically indispensable. At the top of the pole is a combination of pulleys through which the line passes, while neay the bottom is the reel, around which one end of the line is wound. The clothes are bung on the line as it is paid out, and when the time comes to take them in all that is necessary is to wind up the reel and take them down as they approach the pole. This also saves the trouble of carrying a basketful of the garments around.
