Apples,

Pancoast & Grii1iths, Of Phila,
delphia, dealers in fruit, in their
circular of directions advise as fol
laws:
Two barrels of apples of the first
grade sell quicker and for more
money than three barrel mixture
of these two barrels with another
barrel of the second grade. 1t
pays better to market only the fin.
est fruit in the best possible shape.
Apples for marketing should be
picked from the tree by hand and
handled gently; all that fall should
be discarded, even if they do not
show any bruise at the time Dis
card everything speckled or in any
way faulty or imperfect. Pack i'll
the best new barrels; don't use
poor barrels. Marketable apples
will bring higher price enough in
neat rst-class barrels to more than
pay the difference in cost. See
that the barrels are made of well
seasoned wood, both heads and
slaves, so they will not warp and
heads come ont i'll transportation
Remove one head of the barrel.
select uniform, fair average apples,
not the largest and hand pack
them, stem down, around the edge
of the barrel; then another row in
side the first, and so on until the
head is nicely covered close and
tight, so they will not shift; then
put IN about IA half bushel more
and shake the barrel carefully, so
as not to disturb the facing; then
add another half buShel and shake
as before, and SO on until the bar
rel is filled. 1t is important to
shake the barrel five or six times
while being filled, to settle the APP
pies into the closest space, to pre-
vent further settling i'll shipment.
Let the apples come up to The top
of the chime, lay the head ON, lean
over the barrel, bear your weight
on the head and shake until every
apple is fixed into a shiftless place;
then use the press to gently crowd
the head down to its place and nail
securely. Turn the barrel over
and mark the kind of apples, the
growers name or initials, and
brand extra, choice, prime or Ms,
o suit the grade.
