Value of Style in Fruit.

Benjamin Newhall, Chicago fruit
commission merchant, in paper con-
tr1buted to the last session of the
Illinois state horticulturists, said:
quality pays; style pays still bet
ter; and both together best of all. You
growers know this, but probably we
dealers realize it even more fully.
For instance, recently we received a
carload Of apples most of which sold
at SO per barrel, but in that car were
some that sold at $1.50 per barrel.
Both were called No. 1, but the 50 ap-
pies were high in flavor and color,
and perfect as to shape, put up in an
attractive package and finely packed.
The $1.50 apples were sound, but were
dull and uninviting in color, of poor
havor and put up in a slovenly look
ing package and were poorly packed.
We sold Seckel pears at So and 81
per barrel this fall on the same day.
and we got full price on both. 1t was
quality and style that made the differ
ence. Not once, but many times we
have sold Jonathans, sound and fresh
ly received the same day at 50 and
$40 per barrel. In fact, this very
thing is one of the chief annoyances
of our trade. Few shippers realize the
value of just little of Natures tint
ing on the skin of an apple or how
slight a difference in this line will
mean difference of from so cents to
$1.00 per barrel in the price.
You say you sold John Jones ap-
pies at SIS straight and for mine you
got only 81, both packed by the same
man on the same day, the orchards
within mile of each other. How is
this?" What hopeless task to reply
to such question! my apples were
just as good as his, just as large, just
as smooth, just as carefully packed,
with just as good cooperage." All
this is true, my friend, but they were
worth $1.00 per barrel less in our mar
ket just the same and are harder to
sell at the difference. And why? 1t
is excellence set off by style. That is
why the fruit from sunny valleys of
the far west outsells the best selec-
tions of the middle west. 1t may not
have more intrinsic merit, but it has
style.
Quality pays. Choose your varieties
wisely; take pains with your orchard
treatment. Study the market needs;
but above all cultivate style in fruit
packing and package, and when to
this style you add quality, you have a
ombination that will sell your fruit
at prices that will often surprise you.

Some Beautiful Gifts.

For bonbons, the smart shops are
showing jewel cases and powder boxes
in Vatican and Dresden effects, which
may be put to practical use when their
contents have been enjoyed. The most
striking paper boxes are the large
crimson hearts, finished on the top
with great bows of satin ribbon in the
same tint.
For flowers, the most popular novel
ties are the small automobiles in pale
colors combined with white. They look
exceedingly innocent, but they will
absorb enough violets to strike terror
to the soul as we'll as the purse of their
sender.
Character of Day Changing.

transformed from the patron saint of

from snowslides and all danger to life incident to
winter travel. ,.o
This route has been neglected in the past but since
the probable abandonment of what is known the
southern route from Pacerville and the real-
cation of the utter mpracticability
of the other route, so-called by the postal
authorities, the people of northern Idaho
are aiding the government by placing the trail in
such condition that any kind of freight mail
chinery can be carried over it from Dixie.
This route has the three following points Of van
tage over any other alleged route yet discovered. 1t
has 1900 feet less altitude; following the ridges as it
does, is from its typographical nature, free from
slides; and, finally, it bring the railroad about
35 miles nearer Thunder mountain than any other.
To the foregoing statements defy successful
contradiction.

The Worlds Wheat Crop.

Notwithstanding the sharp ad-
vance above all recent price records
for wheat in response to reports of
injury at the Northwest, there is
no reason to anticipate famine con-
ditions, says Dun's Review. Pro-
duction in the United States has
evidently fallen short of the early
estimates, owing to excessive rain
during harvest time in winter wheat
states and damage by rust in some
spring wheat districts. The year
has provided an unusual feature in
this country; too much moisture
seldom causing severe deterioration,
the other extreme, with high tenn
perature, usually doing most harm.
In so far as home consumption is
concerned, it is only necessary to
raise about 5.000,00O,O00 bushels,
and if quotations are maintained at
