THE FRUIT GROWING INDUSTRY IN INDIANA By M. W. Richards, Dtpartment of Hortfculturt, Purdut Unlvcrtlty Experimtnt Station. Purdue University Agricultural Extension.
TO OBTAIN DISTILLED WATER Device Described Herewith Has Advantage of Being Inexpensive and . Is Eeasily Constructed. A form of still, devised for the purpose of providing pure drinking water on the farm, is here described. This still, which has been especially designed for use with alkali water, has the advantage of being inexpensive and can be made by any tinner. It consists of a water boiler; on the
range, having a capacity of about one and one-half to two gallons of water and a condenser suspended at the proper height from the ceiling. A pipe, 'two and one-half inches in diameter, with separable joint, conveys steam to the condensing chamber, which is kept cool by water in the upper compartment The distilled water collects in the lower part of the tank-like compartment, and can be drawn off from time to time or allow-

Tha frlt growing, interests of Indiana arr assuming vast proportions, j
Large areas of land., heretofore considered ag waste, are being planted to fruit. Old, neglected, run-down orchards are being rejuvenated. On every side is found a spirit of horticultural awakening. A demand has therefore arisen for a special horticultural short course where the owners, managers and workers of these orchards might come together and review the successes and failuresof the past season. Last year the horticultural department of Purdue inaugurated such a course. It was welcomed by the growers of the state and was very well attended. This year a second fruit growers' short course will be held at Lafayette, December 1-13. In scope it will be much wider than
the previous course. Practical talks on the various phases of horticulture -will he presented by the members of the department. Supplementing the talks will be a series of field exercises wherein the student will actual
ly perform the various operations, under exnert guidance. Outside authori
ties on several lines, such as marKeting, storage, use of by-products, cooperation and methods of crop disposal, will also address the students of this course. Everything new in tha fruit growing line will be taken up, discussed and illustrated. Especial emphasis will bo laid on, first, the production of quality fruit and second, on profitable methods of crop disposal. Cultural methods, such as pruning, spraying, fertilization, thinning, cultivation and harvest will all bo presented. Packing will be especially emphasized and several periods will be devoted to both the box and the barrel. Several new ideas in crop disposal will be developed and
presented to the grower. In fact, every phase of profitable orchard management, in its newest phase, will be presented by men who know. The course is free. If you are interested, correspond with the Purdue Horticultural Department, Lafayette.

Convenient Water-Stili for Farm Use.
DO CONSUMERS GET
WHAT THEY BUY?

-i
We are hearing a great deal these
days about the high prices which pre
vail all along the line or tooa products: a steak which, a few years ago,
cost 12 cents per pound, now costs 30 or 35 cents, or even more than that where there is no competition. In
fact, the "high cost of living" iu felt
11 alone the line and by all classes
of citizens. It is not the high cost
of' things which we wish to call at
tention to in this article so much as,
are we getting full weight or measure of what we buy? Naturally, when food products are low, we dp not pay
particular attention us to whether we
are getting full weight or measure or not. But in times like the present,
when a dollar goes a very short way
In purchasing food supplies, it he
hooves every one to see to it that he
receives full measure. Many of us
havp become accustomed to take too
much for granted, to accept without
question, whatever is given us. Ihis anDlies more especially to that class
of people who buy only in small quan
tities from day to day; ana that does
not mean the poorer classes by any
means, because, in most of our cities
and larger towns, this method is largely the custom r'ith all classes. How many know that they are getting full weight or measure? In how many kitchens in this state may bo found a reliable set of scales where packages may be weighed as they come from the dealer? Possibly one in fifty. The amount of money that could be saved in this way in a year in each household would more than buy a good set of scales, besides the satisfaction of knowing that one was or was not being heated. The general use of the Babcock milk-tester has saved many thousands of dollars to the American farmer, simply by showing him which of his cows were paying for their feed and which were not. This enabled him to stop a large leak in his income. A good set of scales in every kitchen would stop many a leak in the grocery bill. It would not affect the honest merchant, but it would affect the careless dealer and cause him to be more careful. The legislature of Indiana has rec
ognized the fact that we have both of these classes to deal with. In 1911 the legislature passed a weights and measures law which was intended to remedy this evil of short weights and measures, ' but every one who has given the subject any thought, knows that we continued to get short boxes of berries, and even those entrusted with the enforcement of the law, did
not seem to be able to stop it. The law did not say that a berry box should hold a dry measure quart or pint, and so all that was necessary
''was for the dealer to sell his berries
by the box, and the consumers had no redress, oen If they gave the matter any serious attention. The legislature of 1913 went a step farther and amended certain sections
of the previous law, making it obliga
tory that "all commodities shall be sold by standard weight or measure,"
except those articles which are usual
ly sold by numerical count, such as
eggs, or melons, squashes, etc., or those articles sold in packages, such
as the various kinds of breakfast
foods, etc. This means, if it means
anything, that berries must be sold
by dry measure, that is a legal quart
of strawberries or raspberries must
contain 67.2 cubic inches, and a pint,
one-half that amount; a peck of pota
toes must weigh 15 pounds; and yet
we have been getting in our markets
during the present summer, berry hoxes which fell short from five to
ten cubic inches, and it is a common
thing, with some dealers at least, for a peck of potatoes to weigh only 12
or 13 pounds. This means that the purchaser is not getting what is com
ing to him when he buys these berries, and he is losing from 8 to 12
pounds on each bushel of potatoes that he buysi Not very much, and yet, when there is a large family to
support, he is paying for five or six bushels more than he gets during the year, and this is only one item in the list.
In a recent trade paper the state
ment is made that growers in another state are attributing the shortage
of the berry crop to the fact that they
were required to use standard quart
boxes; that where heretofore they
have had 400 crates, this year they only had 300 crates from about the
same quantity of berries. This gives
one an idea of what the consumer has been getting in years past, he-
cause the retailer very seldom changes
his berries from a "short" box to a dry measure box before selling them. Very likely, the ahove-mentioned conditions do not prevail now in all cities and towns of this state; it ought not to be so in any of them, but it is. It is a condition that we are facing, not a theory. A Defect in the Law. Section 1 of the weights and measures law, approved March 10, 1913, amends section 3 of the law of 1911, so that "The board of county commissioners of every county of 50,000 population or more shall, .: .1 the hoard of county commissioners in counties of less than 50,000 population may appoint a county inspector of weights and measures who shall serve during the pleasure of the said board . . "Provided, however, that it shall not be obligatory upon the board of county commissioners of such countiescontaining a city or cities of the first, second, third or fourth class which are already provided with an inspector of weights and measures or city sealers to make such appointment." In other words, a county which has less than 50,000 population, but which has a city of either class mentioned above, and which is provided with an inspector or sealer of weights and measures, need not have a county In
spector; neither are the county com
missioners required to appoint an in- ! spector in any case in such a county. ! A city inspector's jurisdiction does
not extend beyond the citj' limits, con-
seqpently the balance of the county,
no matter how many towns and vil
lages it may contain, is left without
difficulty; without any one to enforce
it, a law is of no account. Either each
county should have an inspector, or
else each city Inspector should have
jurisdiction over the whole country.
ed to run into a vessel underneath. When the water in the top compartment becomes too hot for efficient condensation it can he passed to the water tank through the small pipe connecting, or drawn off at the faucet at the back and cold water added. The metal used in the construction of the still should he well-tinned copper and no solder should be exposed to the action of either the steam or .the distilled water. If it is desirable for any reason to suspend the condenser at some distance from the kitchen stove, the steam pipe should be wrapped with asbestos paper.
Where are the bees going to winter? In tbe cellar or out-of-doors exposed to the storm? If in the cellar, a place should be prepared for them now, so that when cold weather sets in for good the hives can be quickly placed in position. Once more; Never set the hives flat on the floor of the cellar as some people do. Bees must have fresh air, and be kept free from dampness. Every stormy day in which the hens are allowed to wander about without shelter, adds to the discrepancy in the egg basket. Of course we can wait until stormy
weather sets in before making, the chickenhouse snug and comfortable, hut it will cost us something, in the loss of eggs, to do it. After it has been made all comfortable for the winter, take the time to give it another whirl of spraying with whitewash into which two teaspoonfuls of carbolic acid to the pailful have been dropped. If we will put the drag on the road after late rains, right up until the ground freezes, we will have very much better roads when the frost comes out of the ground next spring.
It takes some courage to weed out
the poultry flock down to the very essence of good quality, but this is the
month to do it. Why feed any old
scrubs during the long winter months?
stuff them two weeks, and send them
to market.
Many people do not know that the
tops of turnips, sugar beets and car
rots can be cut off without imparing
their keeping qualities. This should
be done before they are put into win ter quarters.
Maybe it is too late to gather road-
dust for the fowls. If you have neg
lected to do this, you can give them
sifted coal-ashes, which is the next
best thing.
A few dollars invested in storm-doors
on the house will not only save fuel,
but will prevent sudden blasts of cold
air from reaching the occupants-L-a
thing whicn is always attended by
some danger.
If you will put storm-windows over
the regular windows, be cure to pro
vide openings in both for proper ven
tilation. It is a fearful thing to sleep
in an air-tight room.

ACCURATE POULTRY ACCOUNT Of Much Importance That Record Should Be Kept to Ascertain Just What Flock Is Doing.
(By A. J. WILDER.) An accurate account should he kept to find out whether the poultry is paying a profit, and just how much. In doing this, don't forget to give them credit for the frying chickens, broilers, roasters and all the eggs used
in the home.. Quite often this is over
looked and the poultry receives no
credit for saving us what would be a good deal of expense if we had to buy
our fresh eggs and all the poultry we
used.
This is not so hard to keep track of
as one would imagine. I find that the
easiest way to keep the egg account
is to set down every day the number
of eggs gathered that day. As a. rec
ord is kept of all the egg3 sold, the difference would be the number used
at home. The hens should be given
credit for the number gathered.
It is important that we should keep
an account with- the poultry and know just what they are doing. When all kinds ot feed are so high-priced and
can be sold, or fed to advantage to other stock, we can not afford to keep a large stock of poultry at a loss.
If poultry is not making you a profit,
remedy the difiiculty and get a profit, or else keep only enough poultry to
supply the family.
BUILD SUITABLE HOG HOUSES
Building May Be Cheap and Simple in
Construction, but Should Be Convenient Easily Arranged.
When hogs are handled in large
numbers, or where , twenty or more
brood sows are kept, a hog house
large enough to accommodate the. majority of the stock is often found.
This system has the advantage of en-
ahling the hreeder to handle his hogs
with less expenditure of labor and
time than is possible if they are scat
tered over a larger area.
When such a house seems desirable,
it may he cheap and simple in con
struction, but should be convenient.
It should run east and west, and is
most easily arranged with a row of
v.$ens on each side of an alley way,
which extends the entire length of the
building. The walls may be of one-
inch material siding, hut should fit very cjose in order to prevent draughts. The roof should be moder
ately high, to provide sufficient venti
lation. Quite a number of windows
should be installed in order to pro-
SMALL FLOCK IS PROFITABLE
Costs Practically Nothing to Keep Few
Sheep on Farms Animals Eat Weeds and Enrich Soil.
For the encouragement of the farmer who thinks keeping sheep would be a fine thing if he could carry on an extensive business as is done on the big western ranches, a Texas wool buyer says: "It would be a great thing for the countr; f every farmer owned a small flock of sheep. "I buy a great deal of wool at points where there are no ranches near, the
produce being grown by farmers who ii a i
Keep sman nucivs. "I have been often told by such farmers that it costs practically nothing to keep sheep on farms. They require very little feed, they eat the weeds in the fields and at the same time enrich the land. "I find that the owners of small flocks, as a rule, keep a better grade of sheep and the animals are healthier, than are those of the large ranchman, the wools from the farms, always classing higher than ranch wools." L. M. B.
Desirable Type of Sow for Producing Large Litters. vide sufficient sunlight to keep the pens dry and free from disease. The pens should be 7 by 8, or, for large sows, 8 by 10 feet. There are many things to be said in favor of individual houses. First of all the hogs can be scattered more, thus lessening the chances of disease spreading through the entire herd. Secondly, fields and pastures may be utilized regardless of their location or proximity to other farm buildings. Third, such buildings are quite inexpensive, and the number can be increased as the herd increases in size. There are many types of these houses. For a single sow, the A type is usually built 6 by 8 by 6 feet high. The rectangular type is built 7 by 8 feet for one sow, or 9 by 12 and divided into two compartments. Those
with the higher roof and with provisions for opening either the sides or
I the roof, have so far proven the most
satisfactory.

Improving the Farm Home. That farm homes are often unsanitary, and the scene of illnesses such as should be impossible in "the free, invigorating air of the country" is attributable, in probably the majority of instances, to the use of defective methods in the disposal of the waste and sewage of the house. The noisome cess-pool and the undrained privy cold, malodorous und soil polluting make such large additions to the rate of mortality as to rob the country, in a measure, of its natural superiority over the town in the statistics of health.
