How to Pick and Pack Apples-Th


proper pi' king aud packing of apples is OF
great Importance The best keeping sorts
will not be preserved well unless tire fruit is
"ninjnred in gathering and packing securely
The most approved method Of picking is by
h,nd, with ladders the fruit being put into a
grain sack. The bottom aud top of the sack
are brought together ami tied, and then huag
over the shoulder. A short stick may be
used to keep the mouth of the sack open The
sack is quickly and easily cmptied by lower
ing the mouth and lifting up the bottom. The
sack can be lowered into the barrel, and the
apples will run out without being bruised
ms when they are poured in from basket
from the top. Many apple growers prefer !,
put the fruit in heaps for few days, that the
skin may tougher.

lasting aud pleasant impressions his manly
bearing and timely words made upon them
After expanding manhood called him from the
delightful retreats Of home into the duties and
responsibilities Of active life, he carried into his
chosen occupation that matured Judgment and
