Boxes for Export Apples.

The scarcity of barrels in the Cana
dian provinces has become so pro
nounced as to seriously interfere with
securing and shipping the crop. The
Mail and Empire of Toronto says that
farmers are suffering from the scarcity
of barrels to hold their apples, as re-
suit of which large quantities of apples
will have to be left ON the ground to rot
The difficulty with which the manu-
facturers have had to contend is stated
to be the scarcity of hoops. Early in
the season great quantities OF hoops
had been 'cornered' by American
firms, who bought up hoops wherever
possible. Hoops, which couple OF
years ago, we're selling at 31-2 cents, can
not be purchased for less than Is cents:
Barrels which in previous years could
be obtained for 80 cents are now fetch
ing no less than from 40 to so cents.
The Fruit Growers association claim
that it will pay equally well to ship
apples in boxes. and although this may
not be exactly true, it is stated to be
proposition worth carrying into effect.
The Fruit Division recommends the
general use of boxes. These can be had,
knocked down, at almost any sawmill
for about eight cents each, and they
should not cost more ten cents each
made up. AS three boxes hold about
as many apples as barrel, they will be
found much cheaper than barrels at so
cents and upwards The boxes should
be well and strongly nailed and should
hold about 40 pounds of fruit. The Oil
mansions of the boxes used by the
Grimsby shippers are 9 by y by is
inches, while the British Columbia
standard box is 10 by II by Is inches,
these being inside measurements in
both cases. The boxes should be made
of strong material not less than five
eighths of an inch thick for the ends,
and not less than hree-eighths OF an
inch for the sides, the tops should have
strips across the ends to prevent the
weight of other packages, piled on top,
from bearing directly on the fruit. 1t
is also usual to leave open corners at
the top and bottom for ventilation, lit
tie or no packing material should be
used as purchasers like to find the
package quite full of fruit. A sheet of
cardboard at the top and bottom will
materially reduce amount of injury
from bruises.

DEAN OF THE KNOX BAR.
Michael +. Hanly of Rockland Has Been
Practicing Attorney Sc Years.

Michael +. Hanly of Rockland Has Been a
Practicing Attorney Sc Years.
RoCKLAND, Me-, Dec q The dean
of the Knox county bar is Michael F.
Hanly, who has been a practicing at
torney IS years. Although he has
passed the so mark there is but little
evidence of it in his rugged frame, and
he attends the sessions of supreme
court as regularly as he did while in
the prime of life.
Mr.. Hanly was born in Hope, Aug.
"a, 1922, being son of the late John
Hanly, who was also an attorney. He
was educated in the town schools,
Thomaston high school and China
academy. He studied law with his
father and was admitted to the bar at
Belfast in July, 1s47. He came to
Rockland in 1854
Mr. Hanly's first case was civil suit,
which he tried in Belfast and won. One
of the most noted cases which he ever
argued was the State VS.. Linscott,
murder trial. Associated with him
was the late Hon. L. r. Simonton.
They were successful to the extent of
securing disagreement of the jury.
w Hell AuOA County was cSCdUllSHcu,
Mr.. Hanly came here regularly to prac-
tice and his only surviving contem-
porary is Hon. o. G. Hall, now judge
Of the superior court in Kennebec
county.
From childhood Mr.. Hanly has been
remarkably free from illness. He has
never been sick abed day in his life.
He uses tobacco moderately three
times day and cannot see that it
harms him.
Before the war he was stanch Dem
ocrat: since that time he has been an
equally stanch Republican, and has ia
ken the stump for that party in many
campaigns. He believes in the prohibit
tory law and does not think that any
Maine legislature for many years to
come will vote in favor of resubmis-
sion.
Mr.. Hanly was first married to Anne
liza Sprague of Appleton, a sister of
Alden Sprague, who was proprietor
of the Kennebec Journal, His second
marriage was to Mary E. Sullivan, who
is president of the w. C. T. U. in APP
pleton and a well-known Christian
worker.

The Hunters Tax.

Commissioner Carleton does not ap-
pear to think that the hunters tax law
is failure, by any means. He says:
1--WE have received and paid over to
the State treasurer, this year, in H.
cense fees, $26,650.0O. This is all to be
expended in warden service for big
game and game birds, whereas we have
had for this purpose heretofo re but
about SO, 200, aside from fines collected
and fees from guides, camp proprietors,
etc." This is more than was expected
when the law was passed, and will give
greatly increased warden service
More moose have been shot this year
than last, but not quite SO many deer
Last year was phenomenal year for
deer, though. Some out of the State
spOrtsmen have kept away from the
State on account of the tax, but it is
evident that good number Of them
have not. There has apparently been
more resident sportsmen 60 after deer
this year than before, and as the game
belongs to the State of Maine there is
no reason why they shouldn't. The
first year of the new law has proved
more satisfactory than was expected,
and the next one will have better
chance to show what it will do.

SHADE TREES ON TIM rARu.
Preserving Trees for Beauty and Shelf,


Preserving Trees for Beauty and shelter,
Most farmers pay little attention to
shade trees. l speak especially of small
farmers, writes T. q. Harms in the Epi-
tomist: Some even take a savage de-
light in cutting down every tree within
reach. If they are to build home in
the woods, the first movement is to
!, clear away every kind of growth until
they have bare spot of ground which
they afterward plant with stunted &C.
dars or cottOnwoods, as if anything
could take the place of the grand oaks
and other forest trees so ruthlessly
chopped away. l wonder if these van
dals stop to think what it takes to pro-
duce great, spreading oak, or other
native tree. l suspect not. A strong
man with an axe may destroy, in an
hour. what it has taken centuries to
produce. 1t makes one sick at heart to
witness the ruin that these wretches
have wrought. Every farm house should
be surrounded with beautiful trees and
none are more beautiful than native
oaks with their large, spreading
branches. Of course, the shade should
not be too dense, SO as t. produce
dampness. There should be some op-
ening for glimpses of sunlight now and
then. Nor should the trees touch the
house, or overhang it. There should
also be enough light and sunshine to
nourish rich carpet of grass.
Every field should have at least one
good shade tree, and pasture fields
should have several so that the stock
may find shelter without molesting one
another. Shade is grateful to man and
beast. What is more refreshing to
tOilers in the harvest field than short
breathing spell in the shade of some
thickly branched tree? If the farmer
is bent on economy, let him plant fruit
trees for shade. A large apple tree
with a heavy top makes a very fine
twigs trimmed off evenly and help to
them. A good, large apple tree makes
a very satisfactory Shade without spoil
ing so much ground as a large oak.
This point may be considered, if one
insists on economy. The fruit of the
apple tree may also be marked up in
its favor. There is no reason why it
should not be a considerable item. The
pleasure of getting fruit fresh from
the tree will count for much with the
tired laborer. The culture of family
is exhibited in the shade trees and
other external characteristics of their
homes as much as in their speech and
the clothes they wear These are what
make the old country homes so i'm
pressive. No matter how elegant in
itself, no house can ever seem like a
true home while standing in bare
field exposed to the boiling sun and
pelting storms.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
City and Rural Free Delivery Takes
&41 100000.

City and Rural Free Delivery Takes
$47,OOO,OOO.
The annual report of Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Br.stoW for
the fiscal year ending June 30, last,
makes the following recommendations:
That the Interstate Commerce Law
be amended so as to prohibit common
carriers from aiding and abetting in
the green goods lottery or any other
scheme, carried on partly by mail and
partly by common carrier, in violation
of the postal laws; that the provision
that rural carriers shall not be prohibit
ed from doing an express package bust
ness be repealed; that the maximum
pay OF a rural carrier be increased to
$3.50 per annum for route of 25 miles
OF more in length and the enactment Of
law requiring assistant poStmasters,
cashiers and other employees to give
bonds to postmasters direct and hold
ing postmasterS responsible under their
own bonds.
The estimated expenditure for both
city and rural free delivery service dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July 1
next, will aggregate about $4,000, 900.
On July 1st last there were "a, 1859
pOStOfficeS, of which PAP were first class,
1,1O7 second class, $500 third class and
SO, 100 fourth class.
There are now in operation 1898
rural free delivery routes. 1t is esti-
mated that $500 additional routes can
be established out of the appropriation
now available. To maintain the ser
vices of these routes during the fiscal
year from July l, 1904, to June 80, 1905,
will require $13, 100000.
Mr.. Bristow's report further says:
An investigation which is still in
progress, has shown that for number
of years supplies for the rural delivery
service have not been purchased with
an eye single to the public interests.
"Favored contractors, abetted by
trusted but unfaithful official, have cor
rupted the public service. An early
and thorough reformation will be un-
dertaken along the line OF service
equipment, with the prospective result
of improved service at reduced cost.
Fraudulent contracts have been abro-
gated. In the re-letting contracts, hon
est competition will have fair and free
play"
