Cucumbers For Pickles.

Picked cucumbers are sold by count,
and the small ones are generally pre-
ferred. Hence close picking and fire.
quent picking, SO as to prevent any
from growing too large, is necessary
to secure large crops, says American
Cultivator. Sometimes, however, a
stray cucumber will hide under the
leaves until 1t has almost ripened Its
seeds. 1t is astonishing how this less
ems the yield of the vine. Yet it is not
to be wondered at, for the perfection OF
seed in almost all plants exhausts their
vitality very rapidly. The cucumber
vines should be handled carefully, so
as not to loosen the roots which some
Of them send into the soil from the
joints. These are great helps to the
vine. If the vine is turned up to see
what is under 1t, some of these side
rootlets will be destroyed.

HoRsELEss CARRIAGES.

Eject They VIII Have ON the Pave
ments Of the Future.
In view of the wide development In
the form and large increase in the num-
Der Of horseless carriages which is now
looked for. the effect produced by the
general use of motor vehicles upon the
problems Of street paving, maintenance
and cleaning is now being attentively
considered. says the St Louis Globe
Democrat. The municipal engineer ad-
mits that at present the effect of the
horses hoof on paved surfaces Is one Of
the most serious difficulties by which
he is confronted. If an effectual method
of destroying our streets were desired,
it would be hard to devise anything
better than the hammering, cutting,
twisting and grinding of the hoofs of
horses feet
A ponderous draft horse, for instance,
weighing close to ton, with feet shod
with heavy. sharp cornered iron plates
as traction base. pounding, denting
and scraping from morning till night,
is most efficient engine of destruction.
This factor necessarily affects all paw
ing construction. 1t is the only justif-
cation Of the granite block pavement,
with all its variations. Asphalt, paving
brick and the other modern pavements
are greatly modified by the necessity of
guarding against the destructive action
of the horses hoof
The repairs required by the modern
pavement are due to this cause even
much more than to the iron tired wagon
wheels, with their angular edges The
hardest granite blocks grind off until
too uneven for use and must be resur-
faced with asphalt or relaid Paving
brick is apt to go to pieces suddenly.
especially where there is the slightest
softness- Under the pounding of the
feet Of the horse macadam streets and
roads are maintained in tolerable con-
dition only by dint of closest attention
and repairing, and the same destructive
agency finds out all the weak spots in |
the asphalt
7. Conyngton, in discussing the sub |
ject, even anticipates the possible legal |
prohibition of horses on our business
streets. He regards as an early develop
ment the abolition of granite and stone
blocks in all their forms. Paving brick |
may be laid on lighter foundations and

Inquiry Of Endeavorers and

The TRANSCRIPT desires to
have answers to the following
query from members of the
Christian Endeavor and Epwerth
League Societies: Months ago
the TRANSCRIPT inserted a col
umn upon the Sunday School
Lessons which are so generally
used. 1t is presumed these com
ments are read and are appreci-
ated by members of the Sunday
Schools and Bible students.
Subsequently comments upon
the weekly topics of the Christian
Endeavor societies and also those
of the Epworth League were in
troduced. The query is, care
these found to be useful or do
the many special papers and
helps so abundantly furnished
the societies do away with the
necessity for these newspaper
comments?" If so, thespace can
probably be devoted to some
thing of more general interest.
Answers are desired. A postal
card will fill the bill.

A Light Three Legged Ladder and
Other Little Conyeniences

A Light Three Legged Ladder and
Other Little COnvenlences.
Gathering and marketing the crop
is an important part of the fruit busi-
ness. OF what avail is it to plant, cul-
tivate, fertilize, prune and thin and
then spoil the result by wrong han
ding at picking time" asks American
Gardening in preface to the following
suggestions:
There are many little conveniences
that should be part of the orchard
equipment-goodl ladders, picking bas-
Hkets, carrying straps, ETC., are all i'm
portant items.
In the peach orchards here light lad
ders with three legs are used instead
Of the ordinary stepladders with four
legs, as they stand steadier on uneven
or soft ground. Several sizes are used,
according to the age Of the trees.
Our picking baskets are round, light
affairs, with faring tops, holding about
a peck. A ring on each side Of the
basket permits of the carrying strap
being quickly fastened or unfastened
by clip hooks at each end. The strap
goes over the picker's shoulders and
is adjusted so that the basket hangs at
the waist. This arrangement leaves
the hands and arms free to work with,
and a picker thus equipped will do far
more work in day than If he had to
balance q basket on the top step or
carry it in his hand. Not only will he
accomplish more, but there viii be less
danger from tipped over baskets and
the bruises and loss thus occasioned.
A stone boat or low wagon should
follow the pickers, with a supply Of
empty picking baskets. Then the pick
er has simply TO step down from his
ladder and exchange his full basket
for an empty one-unhook one and
'thook on" to the other, thus saving
steps, time and bruises. g
Choice fruit should be handled as
little as possible, and pouring from one
basket to another or into the wagon is
poor economy. Haul to the packing
shed and pack directly from the pick
ing baskets into the desired shipping
package, and then there is little chance
Of injury through handling.

THE YORK IMPERIAL APPLE.

IhE 1Ohh lmfERlAL ARRIk,
land and Delaware. In Kansas it is
growing in popularity. A speaker be-
fore the last Kansas state horticultural
meeting said: '"The York imperial is
new to many of US because of it's late
sudden popularity. 1t has been sent to
Europe, holding Its own with the Mis-
souri, pippin and others. 1t Is large,
a good keeper and growers always
seem pleased with it. 1t seems to be
growing popular"
York Imperial is sometimes listed in
catalogues as Johnson's Fine Winter
and in It's native county sometimes re-
ferred to as the Shep apple, shep be-
ing a word Of the Pennsylvania Ger
man having reference to the oblque
shape of the fruit The tree is a vigor-
GUS grower, with slender, dropping
branches, after the manner Of Ben
Davis. It comes into bearing at four
years from planting and bears regular
ly and heavily. The foliage and fruit
are remarkably free from scab.
The fruit is of medium size, skin yell
low and almost wholly covered with
two shades Of red, flesh yellow, juicy,
firm, subacid, season late winter. A
good shipper, bringing high prices.
