4 KANSAS AppLe.pAok,na OUTFIT.

1t is quite a common practice among
many extensive orchardists to sell
their entire crop of apples while on the
trees, the purchaser doing all the
work of picking, sorting and packing.
When the proprietor possesses suffi-
GENTLY good judgment to be able to
closely approximate safe valuation
OF the crop, and fair price is offered,
this is an economical and satisfactory
way of disposing of a crop, as there is
much hard, vexatious work, and more
or less risk TO run in gathering, pack
ing and handling of the crop. But in
case the owner chooses to handle his
crop, an immediate sale, as soon as it
Is barreled and ready for the market,
is considered the safest and surest
way to dispose of it. The holding over
for better price in future is more or
less risky, and oftentimes results in
loss from shrinkage and sometimes
the necessity of resorting and pack
ing, which would require more of an
Advance in the market price to make
the loss good than often occurs.
All of the crop left after asserting
out the No. l and No.2 grades should
be classed and treated as culls, and
sold to evaporating and canning es-
adjustments or to cidar makers, I'M
less the owner has all the facilities at
hand for working them up. For ex-
tensive orchards the profits on the by
products will justify the expenditure
for buildings and machinery neces-
sary for working them up. In some
instances the by-produets of the or
chard have been known to exceed in
value returned the receipts from the
main crop. OF course, such were ex-
ceptional cases. 1t is also true that
no permanent profit ever comes to the
producer who would compel his good
fruit to sell his culls for him.

ing, and gang of sorters and packers
follow, sorting and packing the fruit
into barrels.
The time for picking the apple must
be determined by its maturity or
stage of ripeness, and not by any par
ticular date. Some varieties should be
picked much earlier than Others, for,
upon the stage of maturity and time
of picking depend largely the keeping
quality of the apple. Sometimes diff
ference of one or two weeks in date
of picking will show marked differ
ence in keeping. If the apple is left on.
the trees after it is fully matured the,
ripening process will go on more rap
idly than if taken off and placed in
cool room or cellar or taken at once to
cold storage. 1t is better to be on the
safe side and pick the fruit a little be-
fore maturity rather than to leave it.
until overripe- The common practice
of allowing the fruit to remain in
heaps under the trees for several days
is mistake. The sooner the apple is
removed after picking to the cool eel
lar or to cool storage the better will
it keep.
Careful and systematic sorting is an
important matter in handling fruit.
The old adage, Honesty is the best
policy" will apply in this case. No
imperfect, unsound or blemished fruit
should be allowed in the first-class No.
grade. The grading should be uni
form. Any small specimens, as we'll as
diversified ones, detract from the ap.
+ pearance of the whole lot in the pack
age. The standard size should be an
average of. the variety when well
grown; to be first-class it should be
in regular form, free from fungus
q disease, and of clear color, to become
attractive in the market. If the sort
ing and grading is honestly and faith
fully done there will be no difficulty
in finding ready paying market for
first-class winter apples.

The END COMES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS.

London, Dec. 24.-Most Rev. Fred
erick Temple, archbishop of Canter-
bury and primate Of all England,
who had been i'll for some time past,
is dead.
The archbishop of Canterbury
passed away quite peacefully at s:l5
o'clock in the presence of his wife
and two sons. His death had been
anticipated for some days and only
the archbishops remarkable vitality
enabled him to counteract his ex-
IRENE weakness. The final collapse
occurred about six o'clock and he
was unconscious towards the end.
The primate died of old age. Tho
pathetic scene in Westminster ABB

came the collapse in the house of
lords at the conclusion of vigorous
speech in support of the education
bill. He had not left his bed since.
