SHIPMENT OF BERRIES.

The following timely and excellent hints
have been prepared by one of the most ex-
tensive cultivators of small fruits on the
Peninsula, one who shipped over 80, 200
quarts of berries, last year. He gives his
own experience for the benefit of those a.
bout engaging in the business.
The important matter to the grower of
small fruits-such as Strawberries, Rasp-
berries and Blackberries-is to know how
he can get them to market in good condi-
ton, and for the purpose of beneftting
those engaged in the business, I take the
liberty of giving you my experience.
In 1868, we commenced to ship small
fruits to market. AS the train left our
station at 8 o'clock, in the morning, we
had our pickers in the field at an early
hour, and gathered the berries when they
were wet with dew. They were trans
ported about $50 miles to Philadelphia
market, and were in such bad condition,
that they would only bring about half
price. Our commission merchant told US
that they must be picked dry, and they
would come in better order So we tried
picking them later in the day, after the
dew was gone, and as they were picked
they we're packed in the crates, and ship
ped by the next mornings train. The re-
suit was the same-the berries reached
market in bad order, and of course we felt
very much discouraged.
After the season was over, called on
Mr.. John Mitchell, of Burlington, N. j.
a gentleman who had been extensively en-
gagged in the small fruit business for more
than 20 years, and stated to him our man
ner of picking and shipping the fruit, and
the bad condition in which it reached mar
ket. He said we had made big mistake,
the fruit should be picked dry, and instead
of being at once packed in the crates,
booth or shed should be erected in the
fleld-and rough shelves put in it. AS
the pickers brought up the fruit. instead
of being packed in crates, it should be
placed on the shelves, and allowed to cool
off, and then be packed in the crates early
next morning.
Last season, Q869,) we followed his
directions; we have shipped over thirty
thousand quarts of berries, about one-half
to Philadelphia, the other half to New
York, and all reached market in. good
condition.
We tried the experiment of picking on
Friday, shipping on Saturday, and lay
over Sunday for Monday mornings mark
ct, but this lot was in bad order. From
the experience of the two past seasons, l
would much prefer picking the fruit dry,
and place it on our shelves to cool off,
rather than to pick and ship the same day.

TRANSPORTING BERRIES.

In former communication, | gave you
the result of our experience in picking and
shipping small fruits, during the seasons
of 1868 and 1869. l now give you the
result of an experiment we tried last sea-
son.
We made four boxes-two of them dou-
ble-and filled in with 4 inches of char
coal and two plain boxes One of the
boxes filled with charcoal and one of the
plain ones we're made as tight as we could;
the other two had holes bored for ventila-
ton. On Wednesday morning, July 7th,
we picked six quarts of Dorchester Black
berries, and put quart in each of the
boxes, and also placed two quarts on
shelf in our berry house, where they would
get plenty of air On Saturday evening,
July 10th, we opened all the boxes, and
found the result the same in each case
the berries were all spoiled. The two
quarts on the shelf, we allowed to remain
another day, and had them for tea on Sun
day evening. They were delicious, and
there was not soft berry in the two
quarts.
This experiment we think proves be-
yond doubt that if parties will pick their
berries-and put them on shelves to cool
before they are packed in crates for mar
ket, and then put in open crates and bas-
kets, and at the same time, get the Rail-
road Co. to furnish cars that are thorough
ly ventilated, there will be no more COM
plants on the part of the grower, that his
fruits reach market in bad order, and no
more letters from commission men, saying,
"Your berries were in bad condition; if
they had been in good order, they would
have brought at least ten cents a quart
more"
Now, in regard to crates and baskets
Last season we used the American, which
we found great improvement over those
of the previous year; this year we pro-
pose to use the Rochester basket-sold by
Stephen Cox, of Philadelphia-as we
think them better ventilated than any 9TH
er crate and basket that we have ever met
with.

THAT was vexing, indeed J" remarked
Janet. ''You see, these milliouares are
SO conceited about their wealth, that

ut appears so, indeed. But one thing

from India, like our Nabob. By-the-by,
dear, how did you get ON with the old fel-
low? Was he not very yellow, besides a
considerable bore? And did he not shiv-
er at the mention of every draft, save that
in reference to his bankers. Poor COZ,
what an evening you must have passed for
my sake!
'Believe me darling, 1 am not fit sub
Ject for commiseration, as | never spent
such an agreeable evening before in all
my life; for your description Of the Nabob
is the reverse of what he is"
Truly? Pray, in that case, describe
him, Janet"
Certainly. Then his complexion is
healthy, and just bronzed enough to be
manly. He is tall, has good figure, a
pleasant smile, and large, clear brown
eyes, that seem to ask for and deserve con-
fidence. In conclusion he is about thirty,
and a passionate admirer of old English
ballads"

of Nina's bright eyes been lcveled at Ed

that one quiet evening with sweet, good
tempered Janet, and her simple English
ballads, had placed one image in his heart
which an houri from Paris would not have
been able to eface.

side might be realized.
Nina was wofully disappointed at first,
but recovered after while on finding that
George Merston was far more lovable, and
not nearly so briefess, as she had imag-
ined. Eventually, she even got SO far
over her disappointment as to laugh mer-
rily with her cousin, when recalling how
Janet's good nature had been the means
of catching the substance, while she, Nj
ma, was running after the shadow personi-
fed in Mrs. Graham's Mystery"

COMPUTING INTEREST. is a new
rule for computing interest. 1t is so sim
pie and so true, that every banker, mer-
chant, or clerk, should post it for refer
ence:
Six per cent.-Multiply any given num-
ber of dollars by the number of days of
interest desired, separate the right hand
figure and divide by six; the result is the
true interest on such number of days, at
six per cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any given
amount by tAe number of days upon which
it is desired to ascertain the interest, and
divide by As, and the result will be the
true interest for the time required.
Ten per cent.-Multiply the same as
above and divide by 36, and the result
will show the interest, at ten per cent.

VULGAR LANGUAGE.-There is as much
connection between the words and the
thoughts as there is between the thoughts
and actions. The latter are not only the
expression of the former, but they have
power to react upon the soul. A young
man who allows himself to use one vulgar
or profane word has not only shown that
there is foul spot upon his mind, but by
the utterance of that word he extends that
spot and inhames it, till, by indul-
gence, it will pollute and ruin the soul.
Be careful of your words and of your
thoughts. If you control the tongue that
no improper words are pronounced by it,
you will soon be able also to control the
mind and save it from corruption. You
extiuguish the fire by smothering it, or
by preventing bad thoughts from bursting
into language. Never utter word any
where which you would be ashamed to
speak in the presence of the most refined
female or the most religious man. Try
this practice little while, and you will
soon have command of yourself.

ROBINS COME.

ROBINS COME.
From the elm-tree's topmost bough,
Hark the robins early song
Telling one and all that now
Merry spring time hastens along;
Welcome tidings thou dost bring,
Little harbinger of spring.
Robins come
Of the winter we are weary,
Weary of its frost and snow,
Longing for the sunshine chcery,
And the brooklet's gurgling flow;
Gladly then we hear thee sing
The reveille of the spring.
Robins come
Ring it out o'er hill and plain
Through the gardens lonely bowers,
Till the green leaves dance again,
Till the air is sweet with flowers;
Wakcn cowslips by the rill,
Wake the yellow daffodil
Robins come
Then, as thou were wont of yore,
Build thy nest and rear thy young
Close beside our cottage door,
In the woodbne leaves among;
Hurt or harm thou need st not fear,
Nothing rude shall venture near.
Robins come
Swinging still DER yonder lane,
Robin answers merrily
Ravished by the sweet refrain,
Alice claps her hands with glee,
Calling from the open door
With her soft voice, DER and o'er,
"Robin's come!'
