some Points An Raisin packing


The closest supervision of the pack
ing of raisins is necessary. Those raj.
sin men who cannot personally supervise
their own packing and bring the same
up to the required standard would do
much better not to put their own names
and labels ON the boxes, as it would
probably injure their reputation or the
reputation of their brands. To let the
eking take care of itself is simply fol.
ly Ii will not do it; and to say that IL
will be done better next year is certain.
ly no guaranty. A brand that has once
gotten bad reputation is very diff.
ticult to re-establish, and it will
take years of careful packing to
undo the mischief. The Chinese pack
ers have peculiar way of packing, put.
ting the raisins of facing layer on end
instead of laying them flat. This of
course makes the raisins appear much
smaller than they are, gives the box a
poor appearance and accordingly brings
to the owner an inferior price. Especial.
ly in loose Muscatelles we would recon-
mend Improvement in some brands
These loose Muscatelles should be grad
ed in two grades. The second grade
needs no facing, and the grapes may be
simply put in boxes, freed from poor,
small or brown raisins, and then pressed
fiat; that is sufficient. But the
first quality should not only be
carefully culled out aud graded,
but after 81 pounds have been packed.
the box should be pressed and facing
of d pounds of layer berries should be
tiattened out 80 as to look large and
placed in longitudinal rows. The fiat.
tening is done by simply putting the
raisin on hard surface and then press,
ing il with the thumb. The surface
facing the table must in packing be
placed upward, as this surface has all the
bloom preserved, and also presents the
fine corrugations so much admired in the
larger raisins. This mode of packing, of
course. refers only to the Riverside way,
where the facing is put on last, But
the much better way is the old one--to
pack the facing layer first. By doing
so we gain two important points
First, we have hard surfdce-the bot
tom of the box-to pack against; second.
it is unimportant how much of the fac
ing is required, aud it is necessary to
weigh it out separately, provided all tie
raisns are of one size. II larger rdisin
is used for facing, tile quantity that in
left can easily be replaced with the same
quantity of common raisins of the same
grade. This cannot be done if the fac.
lug is put on last, and in the latter way
there will always be some difficulty in
giving the box full measure. We are
satisfied that those who this year juml ed
at the new style of packing from bottom
to top, will next year return to the old
way. 1t is little slower, but infinitely
superior.

A RARE DOG.
How He Kan Up a Tree After the Ross of All the CoOns.
 From the Philadelphia Call

How He Ran Up a Tree After the
 Ross of All the Coons.
 From the Philadelphia Call
 It is very rare that raccoon falls vic tim to the hunter after cold weather has set in, for it is hibernating animal and slows itself away on the approach of winter. The average weight of coon is twenty pounds, and the hunter who captures one in the height of the most favorable coon feeding season which weighs more is looked upon as having accomplished notable feat. James Sandys, of Hunters Range. during the fall killed thirty-nine coons, and on Saturday surprised the community by fetching in the boss of all coons, a mammoth fellow that weighed thirty-five pounds, the largest by eight pounds ever captured in this vicinity. Sandys hunts with an unusually active and intelligent dog. On Saturday he was out af- ter pheasants, when this coon sprang out of a stone wall and gave the dog as lively 8 chase with the thermometer at zero as any coon ever did in September. After run of & mile the coon ran up large tree, the trunk of which leaned at an angle of about forty five degrees When Sandys reached the spot he found that the dog had not only treed the coon, but had also treed himself, for he had run up the leaning trunk of the tree and reached the very top, where the coon had crept out on the extremity of a branch beyond the reach of the dog. San dys brought the coon to the ground with a charge from his gun, but had great difficulty in recovering his dog. The animal couldn't descend the tree trunk and the hunter had to shin up and bring him down. The dog was sixty feet in the air and the lowest branch of the tree was twenty feet from the ground When Sandys got to that branch, with the dogs neck grasped in one hand, he found he couldn't descend any further without using both hands. But the dog settled the matter by squirming loose and dropping to ths ground on his feet
