In kegs are mainly from California; the
Malaga grapes are shipped in a different

fancy apples come in the small barrels
first mentioned, which hold one bushel,

larger barrel; some have ventilation

ventilated full size barrels that come into
the New York markets; they are used
most largely for vegetables and sweet

them for the early fall apples.
In tropical fruits great care is used in
the manner Of packing and forms of
packages, Our illustrations show sew

from California. Fig. is n box holding
two baskets which will hold about three
quarts, while Fig. 8 illustrates another
four basket package, which is admirably
made, precautions for ventilation having
been taken; the holes are made in the
side OF the box as illustrated, and serve
for ventilation through the bottom of
the baskets on the upper tier and over
the tops Of the lower tier, the stats being
narrow and only sufficient in number to
properly balance the baskets. Japanese
persimmons are usually shipped in boxes,
Ms illustrated in Fig 0, each persimmon
being carefully wrapped in paper and
but one layer placed in box. Fancy
peaches, both the earlier and the late
ones, are put up in 'pony" baskets and
two Of them set in n crate, rs shown in
Fig. 10. Frequently the ordinary straw
berry crate is used for this purpose and

Edison's New Motor For street ear

tfon.
Edison has completed an electric mo.
tor for street railway cars. His arrange
ment dispenses with the overhead high
tension electric wire. and also with the
storage battery. Thus far bis expert.
ments have been very successful. and
within a very short time he expects to be
able TO present to the public motor that
will solve for all time the question OF
street railway locomotien. His invention
Is not nearly as complicated or dang erous
as the electric motors which are now in
use on some of the street railways. In
few weeks Mr.. Edison expects To give
his invention public trial on one Of the
street railways In Orange. Mr.. Edison
stated to New York reporter that he
would have had this, his last inve q ton,
completed by the hol days. had 1t no,
been for the fact that since his return
from Paris much of his time had been oc
cupied in perfecting the photograph,
which was complicated.
II MIR. Edison is successful In his last
efforts 1t will revolutionize street railway
locomotion entirely, and demonstrate the
eminent wisdom of the street car man,
ayers who refused to be forced to adop,
the cumbersome overhead wire s,stem.
but who preferred to wait for a power
more permanent and less complic Gated.
Then it will be that people whose streets
are walled with poles, will look with
envy upon the property holders who were
not quite so impulsive.

Late Flowing for Cut Worms.

Professor G. p. Gillette, of Iowa, Is
credited with recommending late fall
plowing-the later the better-for cut
worms in cases where early blowing can
not be done. When cold weather comes
on'in the fall the worms go few inches
below the surface and shape for them
selves earthen cells in which they spend
the winter. II the blowing be done after
these cells have been formed, the freez-
ing and thawing of winter and spring
will destroy many Of the worms and
many will DO picked up by insectivorous
birds. The cut worms are nearly always
worst on ground plowed in the spring.

Honey for LA Grippe

As this disease Is rapidly spreading
throughout the country and various RENEE
dies for It's cure are recommended BY ply.
sicians we will state what occurred near
the editor home few days ago. A
neighbours wife was very low with the
disease and consultation by three doc
tors was held. the result of which was to
advise. as q last resort. the use of honey,
saying that II honey would not save her
life nothing with which they were ac>
qusinted could be relied upon to meet the
case. The neiRhbor called at the editors
residence for some honey and was fully
supplied. 1t Is prepared and used thus
In oneshalf tescupful of hot honey put the
juice of one lemon and take as dose two
teaspooDsful occasionally, or as often as
seems necessary. and as hot as can be en-
dured comfortably In case the stomach
Is too weak to retain the honey. two or
three teaspoonsful Of milk will remove
such difficulty. The editor Of the Bee
journal Is following this prescription and
finds great relief from its use.-American
