Shippers at this time should exercise unusual care In packing and loading their perishable products. They ahon! I grade their products carefully with reference to tbc degree of their maturity and select a nearby market for the ripened products and a distant market for the products that will boiu up the necemry time In transit to reach the distant market. Weather reporta should be ntlllaed In a study of the weather conditions that are prevailing In the different large marketa to the end mat foodstuffs that normally are consumed In large quantities In warm wiwtbrr may not be sent to markets where cool or cold weather la i

prevailing.

There should be a fuller re-venltlon of the Joint responsibility of the shipper with the carrier for the safe carriage of food products to uettlnatloo. the specialists of the Cnlted State* deportment of agriculture point out. Shipper* should cooperate cloaely with carrier bv giving ample instructions with reference to refrigeration and ventilation, to the end that food product* may he properly conserved In transit and reach chnnnela of ■unsnmptton. Railroad agents could render useful service If they were Instructed In some of the most fundamental things connected with the proper care of perishable shipment* daring the period of loading carload shipments at

country stations.

Shippers too frequently, through larei.-aenem and a lack of knowledge of the proper letbods of protecting perishable shipments, leave wagonloads of them exposed to the hot sun for hours at a time Instead of loading them promptly Into a refrigerator car and kcelling the doors of the car dosed b,tween loads. The carrier's representative or local agent usually takes notice of such condition only for the purpose of recording the dreum-

Rape stalks should not be doaely pastured after the leaves are eaten off. The plan's ahonld be about 14 to 18 Inches high when the plga ar* turned In. For less Intensive feeding, when fewer an!mala are kept on the same lot for a longer time, rape la sown broadcast with oats end clover. Five pounds of rape, six pounds of clover, bushel of oats are aowx per acre. Swine should not be turned In unltl the crop '* eight or ten Inches high. An acre with a good stand of crop should supply 15 spring pigs with forage for the rest of the season.
