wise provision.

The largest pic fartory In New

In Boston, says the Grocery World.

varieties are many That they are
made with great rapidly goes with
out saying. The manufacture con-
sists chiefly OF four processes pre-
pairing the filing, making the crust,
filling the pies and baking them. If
mince filling is being made, the meat
is llrst selected and then cooked in Il
steam jacketed copper kettle that
will hold barrel. 1t is then
chopped by machine that knows
its business, and then mixed with
the apple, beef suet, currants, cit
ron, spices and brandy. When the
expert mixer gots them all mixed
by the approved rules for mixing.
but never getting mixed himself,
this filing goes to the filler, who,
though always engaged in filling,
never gets full. Meanwhile ano6her
set of men have prepared the crust,
A huge trough is partially filled
with flour and lard; shortening is
worked into it by fellow dressed in
white, with hair powdered and arms
bare. This Hour is then changed to
IL doughlike consistency by adding
wator as near freezing point as pos
sible to make it haly ana mixing it
with the hands.
When the batch is ready it is
taken to tho men who roll it out and
put it on the tin plates. The delft
ness and quickness with which this
is done throws into the shade the
work Of a lightning change artist
Then the pie is filled, and this, too,
is no slow operation. A long handled

other set OF men in white put on the
covers, and then the pie goes to the
oven which is a marvel Quite likely
Its like suggested the Ferris wheel

big wheel. at least twelve feet long
and sixteen inches in diameter, is

Hung from the rims of this wheel, ut
equal distances from each other are
eight iron platforms. upon which
pies are placed. Such is the manner
of suspension that they always re-
main horizontal. This wheel is re.
volved by power. One OF these
platforms is before the opening in
the oven, which opening is as large
as tho wheel itself Tho attendants
cover this platform with pies and
the wheel is turned until the next
comes into view, which is then filled
and so on until the eight have becr
supplied. The next turn brings int

you see such noble specimens of adult
