SETTER THAN BARRELS.
1ushel Boxes for Apples Are Becom-
ing Popular in All Parts of the
United States.

West OF the Rocky mountains boxes
never barrels, and east Of there they
are becoming more popular every year.
There are several objections to the bar
rel as package for this fruit, among
them being that consumers in the city
do not want SO much fruit at one time
as it contains. They rarely have space
in their storerooms for a barrel, and
few have cool enough places to keep
apples long, before they will rot. These
facts often deter our best customers, the
city people, from getting apples in suf-
ficient quantities to induce them to use
them literally. Some Of the exporters
of apples to foreign countries greatly
prefer boxes, for they suit the trade
there, and pack closer in the holds of
ships than barrels; where it is space
that is charged for, rather than weight
However, all who have tried boxes are
not agreed as to their use in preference
to barrels, although most of them are.
There are differences in the sizes and
shapes of the boxes in use, but that
