In AN APRICOT ORCHARD.
dow the Fruit Is Gath red, Dried and
Prepared for Market in South
ern California.

AS soon as an orchard of apricots
comes into bearing, advertisements are
inserted in the newspapers of adjoining
towns for women and girls. Thou
sands of women leave their domestic
duties, taking with them their fam
lilies to engage actively in the sheds OF
the ranchers, cutting the fruit for dry
ing, after the men have collected 1t
from the trees.
Sometimes 500 people will be engaged
upon large orchard. Rules and regu
lations are laid down for their conduct;
the women and girls sleep in the tents
provided at low rental by the man
agement, and either cook for them
selves, or board with what would be
termed in railroad circles boarding
boss" the men, not SO many, occupy
tents in some other and distant part
of the orchard. The sole requisite be-
ing the ability to pick and cut fruit.

Each woman has a small tray in front
of her, and, after cutting the fruit with
a knife, she lays it open on the tray.
Each tray is furnished with raised
end. When five are filled they are piled

punches ticket with which she has
been previously furnished, and takes
the five trays to the sulphur house.
The women are paid ten cents box.

All fruit has to be placed in the sulphur
house for several hours for the purpose
of bleaching it or causing it to retain
it's natural color, as well as to destroy
all insect life that may remain, other
wise the sun would cause it to turn
black. The trays are then carried out
and placed upon the ground under the
steady rays of the glorious California
sun. SHOULD clouds be hanging over
the trays are placed one above the 9TH

The fruit requires from three to
seven days to dry. At the end of this
time men go out into the orchard with
what are called ''sweat boxes" and
scrape from the trays all the fruit
into these boxes, in which it is left un.
til fully dried. Finally it is hauled to
the storehouses and piled up in heaps.

How to XIII Black Ants.

Black ants are at times very injuri-
GUS to apple and other fruit trees by
eating of the bark near the surface
of the ground. II their nest is near
by, the best way to destroy them will
be by getting a little bisulphide of
carbon and putting perhaps tea
spoonful of 1t into their hole and COW
ering the hole with a piece of cloth.
The vapor from his material Is heavy,
deadly, and sinks rapidly into the nest.
If 1t is impracticable to get bisulphide
Of carbon, and the nest is not too near
the tree, a good way to destroy them
IL to pour perhaps quart of gasoline
into the hole, and after 1t is well
soaked In set IL on fire. Another rem
edy which has sometimes been used to
good advantage is to mix arsenic With
IsuGas and scatter il about the hole.

MODERN ROAD LAWS.
State Legislatures in hvery Part OF
TAis Great Country Should LIE
Asked to Pass Them.

Workers in the good roads movement
in this country are hoping for mate
rial advancement of their cause as
result of the rapid Introduction of
automobiles. The impulse toward bet
ter highways caused 10y the bicycle is
likely to be repeated. in intensified
form, now that new device calling for
smooth surfaces has been perfected, es-
pecially as the higher cost of the auto
matte vehicle is calculated to cause its
owner to demand proportionate con-
sideration. The serviceability of the
automobile increases in ratio with
the smoothness of the way. The cleo
tric vehicle. having limited capacity,
Is especially affected by rough roads.
which increase the demand upon the
batteries for a given length of run.
The road-use Of these contrivances is
rapidly becoming their chief feature
and hence the hope that influences too
strong to be ignored will be felt by
state legislatures to induce them to
pass modern road laws calculated to re-
form the highways. The process of
teaching the rural voter by object les
sons that his best interest hes with a
better road, and consequently more
liberal system OF construction and re-
pair, does not produce the results re-
quired. It Is slow work to drive the
truth through the sloth and prejudice
which have contributed to the evolu-
ton Of the worst system. of country
roads In any civilized country. Too
frequently the farmer still holds to the
narrow tire and kills his horses and
loses his markets and wastes his profits
to haul his products through the mire
or over rough ways that rattle his wag-
ons to pieces long before their time. 1t
has become apparent that the farmer
must be helped despite himself. and
the good work already done by the de-
partment of agriculture and the League
American Wheelmen and by individual
bieyclists must be furthered by the
"chauffeurs." The owners of automo-
biles will soon find 1t to their interest
to take hand In the propaganda and
with this help the good work may
progress to the point of extensive addi-
lions to the decent highways Of the
country during the next few years.
What Is needed in every state is stiff
law, putting apremium on smooth
roads and tax on bad ones, establish
ing a system Of rebates from the coun-
ty taxes on all wagon tires three inches
or more in width and providing the ma
chinery for the uniform enforcement
of such a statute. Even the most be-
nighted community can appreciate the
logic Of road tax, and with intelligent,
honest supervision to see that the road
work Is properly done most of the
denominations now called by courtesy
roads should speedily give place to
hard. smooth, well-kept highways.

Some Reasons for Spraying.

A correspondent of the Farmers Re-
view recently wrote that he had no
faith In spraying; that if the birds
were protected there would be no need
of spraying. The attention of the cor
respondent should be called to the fact
that the prime reason for spraying is
to prevent fungus attacks, such as
those producing the apple leaf scab.
Birds can have no effect in checking
troubles of that kind. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture was first tried in
Bordeaux, France, to keep the boys
from stealing the grapes. The owner
Of the vineyard found that it also saved
his grapes from mildew. Now, birds
have no effect on mildew. So it is evi.
dent that the preservation of the Birds
does not remove the reasons for spray
ing,
