Hope Farm Notes

Ibe fence. Having stolen all the cherries 
he can hold, that lawless “Red” is making 
a speech to the geese. You can almost 
hear him say : “Why do you content 
yourselves with grass and coarse weeds 
when that garden is full of sweet lettuce 
and young peas and strawberries? Walk 
right in and help yourselves. They be¬ 
long to you. Take them. Look at me. 
1 take what I want, and the law protects 
me. Your children need vitamines. They 
are in that lettuce. Be a man. Assert 
yourself and be free.” The speech hav¬ 
ing made him hungry, the robin flies back 
to the cherry tree, while the gander, evi¬ 
dently impressed, leads his family right 
into the garden. They take a row of fine 
lettuce and clear it to the ground. When 
the boys drive them out they hiss and 
scream as if one of their inalienable rights 
had been taken from them. Someone told 
me that geese would travel through a 
garden, cleaning up the grass and weeds 
and leaving the vegetables. Nothing to 
it! In their great desire to educate their 
children properly they will steal anything 
they can get their bills on. 
* * * * * 
That will never do .and Thomas and 
Philip take their axes and go to the 
woods to cut a few dead chestnuts for 
fence posts. This afternoon Philip will 
build a pen around a section of the brook 
and Air. Gander and his family will go 
behind the wires. That’s the place for 
“Reds” who help themselves where they 
have not helped. And yet that robin is 
exempt. He steals all the berries he can 
tuck under his red shirt and then mounts 
the fence and yrlls: 
“Touch me. if you dare. It will cost 
you $25. The law protects me!” 
lie has put his friend, the gander, be¬ 
hind the bars, but goes free himself. But 
it's noon by sun time. Come along in and 
have dinner. We are to have fried meat 
balls in onions, potato and gravy, spinach 
and all the Marshall strawberries you can 
hold. Come in with us. The sun has 
come out at last. We shall get the plow- 
ine and weeding done, and as it is Satur¬ 
day, we shall all quit a little early. There 
will be a crowd of us taking a ride to 
Paterson before the day ends. H. w. c. 
Countrywide Produce Situation 
New potatoes are supplying the mar¬ 
ket. Only a few scattering cars of old 
potatoes are coming. A year ago the 
receipts of old potatoes were at the rate 
of 1.000 cars per week. Shipments of 
new potatoes are enough heavier this year 
to make the total carlot supplies near 
normal. At first sight it seems surprising 
that the new stock should be selling more 
than twice as high a6 it did a year ago, 
but the carlot shortage of old stock means 
more than the same shortage would in 
new potatoes. It implies that the home 
reserves in thousands of Northern cellars 
are also exhausted, and nearly everybody 
must buy Southern potatoes until they 
can get out a few new ones from the side 
of the hills. 
TRUCK PRICES TREND DOWNWARD 
The onion crop in the North is moving 
along quite well, except that it is late, 
like most other crops all over the coun¬ 
try. Apparently the acreage in general 
has not been reduced to any serious ex¬ 
tent. In some localities onion growers 
are planting only as much as the grower’s 
family aud the nearby temporary help can 
care for. Southern onions have been sell¬ 
ing at an average price of $1 per bushel 
at Northern wholesale markets. Southern 
potatoes are considerably lower than 
earlier in the season, but still bring from 
$7 to $9 per 100 pounds iu the Middle 
Western markets. Virginia potatoes have 
been selling at from $10 to $12.50 per 
barrel in the Northern markets. South¬ 
ern cabbage, cantaloupes, tomatoes, 
peaches and watermelons have all shown 
a tendency toward lower prices as a re¬ 
sult of increasing supplies. Reports from 
various Northern tomato sections indicate 
a reduced acreage, owing chiefly to 
scarcity of plants. Crop news is still 
quite favorable. 
INTENSIVE WESTERN ORCHARDING 
Cost of producing apples at British 
Columbia appears to be rather high. 
Trees begin to bear at an early age ; they 
are planted about 75 to the acre and do 
not increase yield much after tin* ninth 
year, in which time the average yield is 
slightly over six bushels per tree. Aver¬ 
age yield of bearing orchards at various 
ages is based at 278 bushels per acre, and 
cost of production itemized at $86.95 per 
«ao at cents per hour; handling. 
$4.).48; grading and packing house 
charges, $238.34 ; cost of material. $18 .'{8 ; 
charge for interest, depreciation, wear 
and tear, etc., $94 24 ; or. total. $209.40. 
equivalent to $1.41 per bushel. Accord¬ 
ingly any receipts above that figure would 
go to management and profit. 
peanut crop popular in south

tention in the South in sections whei 
cotton is becoming difficult to raise o

The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
the varieties used for oil manufacture. 
In one or two of the States the growers 
are organizing to advertise the product 
r and to encourage its use in various new 
ways. One of the societies plans to build 
up a parcel ppst trade in the raw nuts 
after creating a demand through adver¬ 
tising. Prices probably would have been 
higher this season except for the heavy 
import from Japan and China, which 
countries shipped over 100,000.000 pounds 
to the United States, or about five times 
as many as in the preceding season. 
These imports were sold lower than 
native stock. A few lots of peanuts were 
imported from Spain. These were of ex¬ 
cellent quality and sold higher than best 
Virginia peanuts. It is reported that the 
acreage in the Southeastern States will 
be increased, although the planting sea¬ 
son lias been delayed on account of the 
weather. Prices in New York this month 
have ranged 15 to 16 cents per pound. 
Chinese peanuts have been selling at 9 
to 10 cents in San Francisco, while the 
Spanish imports sold as high as 22 cents 
in Boston. G. B. F.

A Standard Separator 
with a Better Bowl! 
The "Premier” is the standard 
disc separator, highly improved and 
reasonably priced. In the "Premier” 
the standard disc bowl isstill further 
perfected by the new patented 
Premier” milk distributor. This 
distributor eliminates flooding and 
clogging—two faults common to prac¬ 
tically all other separators. 
The "Premier” distributor makes 
each disc doits full share of skim¬ 
ming. This prevents cream loss from 
overworked discs. It enables the 
1 renuer” to duplicate the skimming 
results of other good bowls with onc- 
fourth less discs. The result is less 
weight, less wear, easier turning— 
and a bowl that skims milk clean at 
70 or 90 degrees—from fresh cows or 
strippers.”
