Barrels or Boxes.

The apple sellers in the vicin.
ity of Three Rivers, Quebec, were
polled by the American consul
there as to their preference for
barrels OF boxes for packing apples.
The consensus Of opinion was that
more apples of fancy class could be
sold in boxes, but that common apples
should be sent in barrels. The boxes
require more handling. as it takes
three boxes to equal on, barrel, and
during the rush season it is doubtful
If the same quantity OF apples could
be handled in boxes as in barrels
without the employing Of increased
help. One experienced apple handler
said; I'VE like some fancy apples and
fruit Of an extra quality for holiday
seasons in boxes, but we prefer the
average apple in barrels"

The Soy Bean.

The soy bean (glycine hispida),
also known as sofa bean and cof.
Zee berry, Is a native of south
eastern Asia. This leguminous plant
has been cultivated for centuries in
China and Japan. In those countries
it is one Of the important articles Of
food. but as such has never found
favor in the United States. In the
countries mentioned 1t has developed
many different forms and varieties
This plant was imported into England
about 100 years ago, but received
there no attention, and no one con-
sidered it a food plant for man q.
beast. 1t was grown for a long time
in the Southern states before it at
tracted attention. but finally its great
worth was recognized. Now it is
famous.
