He handed the old darby little box
of bread pills, and the old woolly-head

his case had been so promptly accepted.

BIG APPLE SHIPMENTS.
More Than a Million Barrels Already
Sent Abroad


Apple shipments from the various At
lantic ports this season passed the L.
000,00 barrel mark October II, record
never before equaled at such an early
date. As compiled by the statistician of
the Boston chamber of commerce, the
number of barrels shipped this season up
to October II was / .004,961. Last year,
which was one of the best ever known in
apple exports, the million mark was
passed on November s. three weeks later.
Maine farmers-and doubtless the same
is true in New York state-are finding it
exceedingly difficult not only to get their
apples in before the heavy frostS strike,
but also to secure barrels in which TO
pack their product for the foreign mar
ket. According to the testimony of one
person. who has been visiting i'll Maine.
some of the apple growers are obliged to
send ten and fifteen miles for barrels. and
then carry back one manufactured of
wood almost in its green state, CORE
Spondingly heavy. Everybody about the
places is pressed into the service of pick
ing.
OF course. in apple picking. as well as
in almost any other business which offers
chance to make and break records,
there usually is some claimant for the
honor of being the fastest picker in tne
state G.. +. Kilbreth, selectman of
Winthrop, Me-. and formerly Il citizen of
Hallowell, reports having picked, i'll three
