How Salmon Are Canned.

The workmen in the Oregon salmon
canneries are nearly all Cinnamon, aud a
good-sized cannery viii employ from 159
to 200 hands during the season, which
extends from April to August The
buildings extend to the waters edge, in
front of which platform is erected on
piles so that ocean steamers can come
alongside and load right from the can
merry. In the rear of the wharf is a rack
where the salmon is received direct from
the fishermen. Next to the rack is a
clearing bench where the heads, tails,
fins and entrails are removed. The fish
are then washed in three different waters
and passed on to the cutters bench.
where a system of revolving knives slice
the salmon transversely into pieces four
inches long. They are then taken to the
canning bench, where Cinnamon, who
are required to wash their hands dozen
times day, cut the fish into the proper
size for canning and packing. The filed
cans are then pushed on toward the next
bench, where the covers are fitted. The
next set of Cinnamon solder the covers,
and in turn pass them to an adjoining
batch of men, who place the cans on
iron racks and lower them into huge
boilers. When the sealed fish come out
of this receptacle the cans are washed,
cooled, tested, labeled and cased, when
they are ready for shipment, A case of
salmon contains forty-eight one-pouud
cans OF twenty-four two-pound cans, ac-
cording to the order of the consignee.-

amined the man and found he was chok-

0hi0's Oldest Apple Tree.

There is an apple tree on the Silas
Oaks farm at Newburg, Ohio, which is
believed to be the oldest and largest APP
pie tree in the State. The tree is fifteen
feet in circumference near the base. 1t
bears annually big crop of bright yell
low apples. A strange thing about the
tree is that, like the orange, the broad
branches contain buds, blossoms and
fruit in all stages, from the dead ripe to
the smallest of green spheres. 1t is be-
ginning to show its great age and is de-
eaying on one side, but still continues to
bear
The tree was planted in 1871 by man
who settled on the spot from Virginia
He brought this tree among Others with
him over the mountains while the abor-
igines were still roaming the land, muir
dering and burning out the few whites
who were brave enough to come into the
country. The old settler, whose name
is forgotten, was himself killed and
scalped by the redmen near the spot
where now stands one of the most beau
tiful and valuable farms in the Ohio Val

crop of Washington is the largest in its
history, being estimated at 16,OO0.0OO bush
els. The elevators, warehouses and box

stocks of sacked wheat dot the fields. The
inability of the railroads TO obtain

them with collision with warehousemen to
lower the prices of wheat So intense has
