The sanitary condition of the lofts bns much to do with the success. We do rot advocate running through the plant all tbe time looking for filth. The manure from pigeon pen la worth about sixty cents ft bushel as fertilizer. In cloanlng, two rounds are made of all the penn. In the first the manure la all gathered, care being taken to keep it as free from feathers as poHslble. It should then be bagged up and sent away. On the second round the nests are all cleaned and tho floor thoroughly swept. Where the squabs kre very young, or thera are egg, tbe cent must not be disturbed. If a neat bas squabs In It old enough to get along by them salsres, tbe nest Is cleaned out and the squabs replaced. After a, thorough sweeping, spray the Inalde of the pens, covering every crack and crevice with a solution of one purt embolic acid and two parts water. There should be regular days for killing. Before feeding In the morn ing, every squab of the size fit to kill should bo gathered up and taken to the killing room. If any of tbe birds bare a little feed left In their crops, make an IncUlon with a sharp knife and wash the crop clean. , As a rule, squabs are ready to dress at four weeks old; but some parents Squabs Ready for Market. do not care for their birds aa well as others, and It will therefore take their squabs a few days longer to mature. If tbe breast Is well filled out and the feathers under tho wings have started to break open and split at the points, tho squab is ready for market. The wings of each squab should be locked behind It by cronslng them twice, and the bird hurlg by the feet head down ward between two mills driven closely together. A sharp pointed knife In serted In the mouth up to the base of the skull severs tbe jugular vein and the squab quickly bleeds to death. The bird must be thoroughly bled before picking, or else the blood will congeal in spots under, tbo skin where the hand of the picker touches It, and the bird will become "blistered," na the breeders term it, and Its value greatly reduced. Wing and tull feathers should bo pulled first, then the neck, buck and breant, care being taken not to tear the skin anywhere, as torn squubs spoil the appearance of the shipment. After picking, the bird should bo allowed to cool In ordinary cool vi ler, for half an hour or more. It munt then be thoroughly washed, the crop cleaned out and place in a tub of Ice water until frozen, then they are ready for parking. rack In a clean box or barrel.

INDUSTRY OF FRUIT DRYING Picking and Preparing Immense Crops in California Clvss Employment to Many Thonnaodi of I'eot-Ie. (Ily C. W. NULL.) The packing and preparing for the market of the vast quantities of drtod fruit shipped from California and other fruit raising states is interesting to all those woo live In localities whertj little or no fruit is raised for tho tmir ket,. aad where nono in dried. Picking and marketing thfe lmmeose fruit crops In California give employ ment to many thousands of people throughout the summer months. The picking is done by men, but tho pack ing is done alnioHt entirely by women and girls. Cherry packers become very expert, the swiftest workers earn ing as high aa f 2.60 per day. Ordinary puckers make from ft. 25 to $1.75 per day. The apricot crop gives employment to more people than the chorry crop, partly because there is a larger acre ftSfl of apricots than of cherries and partly because tho bulk of tho crop la" dried. The "cots," as they are called, aro cut smoothly In balf, the pits taken out and tho holves laid, cup eldo up, on trays for drying. Defore being put out In tho sun to dry the fruit is subjected to tho fumes of burning sul phur for about thirty mlnutCB. This bleaches the fruit, kills all germs that may have found lodgment on the ripe fruit and hastens tho drying. A great many fruit growers have very extensive drying plants, but the process of drying U about the same la largo and small plants. After the trayB of apricots are filled, each tray Is sprinkled with salt water. Tills fills the cups with julco and the salt helps tho sulphur to take- effect. Tho trays are piled on to cars which run on tracks through the packing sheds, and are taken by the Japanese workmen to tbo sulphur house. This has closet compartments juut large enough for the car to fit In. Tho sulphur Is lighted in the pits in tbe ground and tbe door of tho closet closed. Frequently, many sulphur closets are kept, constantly in operation. After the sulphuring process the cars are wheeled out Into the drying fields and the trays are laid flat on tbe ground. Several lnj are required to dry the fruit, according to tho weather. Pcucht H are dried through much the same process as apricots. Prunes are not sulphured as are poaches and apri cots, but before being placed on tho trayt to dry they are given a buth in hot lye water. ileforo being sent to the retailers the greater purt of dried frulta are sorted, washed and premied Into boxes at the packiug houses. This gives the fruit a finer appearance, but people who live In the fruit regions prefer it Juut as it comes from the dryer. A p A bb ) any way.

The modern girl la rather tired of tbe pale roso und blue bedrooms of the past, and welcomes any new color scheme that is uttructive. Here are a Jew suggestions that have become commonplace: Walls of soft cream color with ft stencil design In mauve shades. Hang ing of ashes of roses linen, and fur niture of wicker work stained a soft brownish purple. Hand of cream col orod linen with tho sienctled deslsns may bo appliqued on tho hangings of the room, such as the curtains and cushion covers, and tbe rugs on the floor should bo soft Oriental colors. Another attractive room could be arranged In the palo shades of the cle matis. Tho wbIIb aro colored In th tints of this bloom In its lilac Hues, and the woodwork should bo In the same' Bhude of clematis, with a gray tone In its depths. Soft lilac cur tains, bedspread and covers should bo lu the same shade stenciled In ponrl gray, wbllo the furniture mlRlit be of either gray enamel or brown wood. Or cretonnes In the clematis or wistaria designs could b used. An all gray room Is charming, but a llttlo cold unliss it huH here und there cushions touched with color. Tho walls of such a room are tinted or papered in a warm gray, Yvlth a r.roam celling which should bo brought down to tho picture molding. Gray enameled furniture Is used, and the cushions, covers and curtains aro gray, stenciled In soft shades of lilac and green, with soft brow n. Tho rugs thai cover a gray etalned floor are of gray-green hues, nnd the pictures on tho walls should bo framed in gray Ualned wood und white enamel. Proper Way to Fasten a Kimono. The kimono Is one of the tlilncR that has "come back." The Duchess, of Sutherland Is te-aihlng her Kngllsh and American friends bow to wear the Japanese garment. The rote, she says, should be -fastened from left to right. Only when used us a shroud for tho dead Is It fastened from right lo left.

In this connection it limy be said that a Pullman robe should be of some light shude, as in case of ac cident the wearer is more likely to be noticed und consequently promptly rescued.
