FRUIT GROWING, By J. B. MORMAN. Bractics’ Horticulturist ~ Formerly Connected With the Dept. of Agricul- ture. Many frusts, such as peaches, Mrawberries and raspberries, ar: very perishable. They must be picked at the right time. packed properly and marketed promptly to bring good prices. The grower runs big risks .when he stands alone. The season is short, lasting only a few weeks at the ‘most. The grower must be able to take advantage of market condi- tions or failure stares him in the face. He may deal with an honest commis- sion merchant and yet gain little or nothing for his fruit. It may spoil on the road or the market may be everstocked, when the price surely falls. This spells failure, and it is an every day occurrence, For this reas- en co-operation has spread rapidly among fruit growers in all parts of the country with splendid results. Even Missouri does not have to be shown. In fact, Missouri can show us something worth while when it comes to a question of co-operation among growers of small fruits. One man with 670 trees on less than three acres reports a net profit of $873. Another with ten acres reports a net profit of more than $1,500. These in- comes are not unusual among small fruit growers in the Ozark region when they are united into cooperative societies. It is practically impossible for growers of strawberries and peaches in Missouri to sell their crops at a profit if they try to market them with- | eut co-operation. Before the Ozark Fruit Growers’ association was form- ed many strawberry growers were selling out because of poor prices, but now strawberry farming is prol ably the most prosperous line of ag- riculture in the state. The chief benefit has been brought about by =hipping to towns and cities where the supplies of fruit were not large. manager of the society is in daily communication with all available markets. Other benefits are the establish- ment of fruit brands that have be- come known to the trade, are sought | in the market and bring high prices. | The growers have acquired better business methods. They have better facilities for handling their crops, ang they take Dbetter care of their or- chards because it pays them to do so. There is room for progress, but by educating fruit growers. through the local press in the disadvantages of co- operation there is no reason why the srowing of perishable fruits may not be made a safe and profitable busi- e practically everywhere.

All Rights Reserved with a family for many weeks more, she no soomer seems to deserve a rest than she is called upon to srow an entirely new coat of feathers for the coming winter. Even wild birds becolne listless, lose their song and often their power of flight during molting, it is even harder on the domestic fowl, which does much heavier work. Or- dinarily the first full molt comes at about sixteen months old. but. chicks| molt continually until matured, and of greens may be given during this trying period, and, providing the birds are not overfat at the start, beef scraps and oilmeal are valuable if ‘used in moderation. In addition most successful poultrymen use a good poultry regulator or tonic, which is quite generally agreed to be an ab- solute necessity for fowls kept under present artificial conditions Even if the weather be warm con- siderable corn may be fed, provided the birds have cool runs. The im- portance of giving all run or range possible during the molt can- not be overestimated. It affords val- uable opportunity for exercise and obtaining aids to the general health. There are anumber of methods to hasten a molt. One sure and humane way is to pluck from the bird's body such feathers as appear to be dead and. still cling, but if these feathers do not come away easily or appear fresh and bloody this should not be done. While the above is written about| hens remember that to the males| after long, is breeding season, Male molt more when kept with females, so they should be sep- arated from them during this time but they may be fed and treated like hens.
