How Oranges are Packed.

A few years ago it was believed al
most Indispensable to wrap oranges in
tissue or other paper when packing tho
fruit for long shipment. The argument
in favor of this practice was that the
wrapper absorbed the moisture caused
from the sweating of the oranges and
also prevented decayed specimen
from affecting the fruit surrounding it,
This old plan of wrapping oranges in
thin paper is now being superseded in
many localities by the newer one Of
packing them in kiln-dried sawdust
made from wood as free as possible
from rosin, or in cork-dust, so that they
do not come in contact with one another.
1t has been proven that dry sand is an
eXcellant packing material for oranges
and lemons, and when the fruit is for
home use, dry sand is preferable to the
sawdust. OF course, sand is not to be
thought of when the fruit is to be
shipped on account of its weight. D.
Progressive orange growers now UNI
dcrstand the necessity of sweating the
fruit previous to packing it. Great loss
is sustained when oranges are shipped
before the moisture created during the
A system adopted by many is as fol-
lows: First, clip the fruit-do not pull
it--and let the place of severance be as
close to the fruit rs possible. This clip
ping is done by hand, also by a little in
strumcnt called the clipper, which not
only cuts the fruit from the limb but
holds il safely in little basket attached,
so that il does not become bruised by
falling to the ground.
When the fruit is gathered the next
step is to heap it up in dry place where
there is good ventilation and let it re-
main three or four or more days, ac-
cording as the soil is low and wet or
there is much moisture in the atmos-
pherc, and then spread it out for sew
eral hours or until the moisture evap-
crates.
Having harvested and dried the fruit
the next step Is TO assert il as to size
and color, placing in the same crate
only such oranges ~ are uniform in
these two respects The sizing of
oranges is rendered easy and rapid by
the employment of sizing-troughs, in
which at intervals are cut holes of
usually three sizes. AS the oranges
roll down this trough they fall through
the holes, according to their size, into
boxes placed underneath to catch them.
Occasionally oranges are packed in
boxes in which layer of cells made of
strips of pasteboard are formed. The
fruit is placed one in each cell, and over
each layer is covered sheet of paste
board, and other layers added until the
box is filed
When paper is used for wrapping
oranges the best sort is that treated
with paraffine or oil, such as is used by

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
AN EVERYDAY GIRL.


She's only an everyday girl,
Without any eemblance OF art,
This wide-awahe, sensible maid,
To whom ! have given my heart.
She's wOmanly, gentle ana kind,
The least little bit of prude,
Whose dignity is IA rebuke
To those too familiar, or rude.
She's honestand frank us the day,
Has nevcrbecn known to deceive,
And everything she may assert
Is certainly safe t. believe.
Her beauty Is not of the kind
To set any heart i'm whirl,
And light-hcaded friendships are not
The choice OF an everyday girl.
Her taste In the matter of dress
Is neither too snowy nor grave,
But such as will lead you TO guess
She is not To fashion slave:
Yet many a one has turned round
On meeting her out in the street,
To admire the everyday girl
Who looked so remarkably sweet.
Her gifts and her graccs are not
Set out In attractive array
To dazzle, or envy excite,
Or ever for public display;
But sitting beside her alone,
Or with choice few, you VIII find
How good and how great Is her heart,
How richly endowed is her mind.
To her you may go In your grief,
And freely your troubles rehearse;
On her In your sickness depend,
For she is n capital nurse;
Whatever the strait you are in,
Though others may give you no heed,
You'll find that an everyday girl
viii furnish the help that you need.
She's patient, forbc iring and wise,
Good-natured, kind-hearted and true,
And does with a resolute will
The tasks that are set her TO do.
All, happy, indeed. is his lot,
Without an occasion for strife,
Who with such an everyday girl
Can spend every day of his lifel

1t it easy TO perceive why bees can
not thrive well on n sheep pasture.
Sheep eat everything down very close
", and leave nothing IN the shape of q
flower upon which bees can subsist
There is no other reason for the pop,l.
lar belief that sheep and bees will not
thrive together. The bees will not hurt
the sheep in any way, but the sheep
leave. nothing for the bees to pasture in;
that is the only difficulty, and where
other feeding ground Is provided for tho
bees than tho sheep pasture, sheep and
bees WOULD thrive very well together.-
