urunperry PICKING.

A New York fashion journal pub
fishes as timely feature an article on
Cape Cod cranberry picking. Accom-
.panying it is picture of the pickers at
work. They stand erect, gathering the
berries from a shrub three or four feet
high and several feet in circumference
The description mentions that in har-
vest time the dark green shrubbery,
with the patches of bright red berries,
forms a pleasing sight. We should
think they might, and such sight
would be novel to Cape Cod folks. The
fashion artist must have got tangled up
with currant bushes.
The cranberry grows close to the
ground on small running vine, and to
gather the berries the piokers have to
work on their hands and knees. The
work is usually done by women and
children, except i'll those sections where
the Portuguese live. 1t is not hard work
and is looked upon as rather festiv-
ity. The field is marked off into narrow
strips by strings aud the pickers work
down these lanes like boys in potato
race. The result is very thorough
cleaning, but eyes and fingers have to
be diligently employed, and the opera
ton is not quite so easy and graceful as
the New York artist imagines. -Worces-
