ON CONCLUSIONS.

1t doesn't pay to jump at conclu
sions. Once we had dog that had a
bad habit of Jumping at conclusions
When he had no other animals con
clusion to jump at he would go round
and round in circle for half an hour
at time, trying to reach his own
conclusion.
That puppy would wait until a COW
had gone past and then jump wildly at
her conclusion. AS is the custom OF
people similarly afflicted, once he
vsached a conclusion he hung to II

a lever conveniently located near the
hand of the operator.
At the lower end of the tubular
member is discharging elbow. which
opens into basket or other recep-
tacle carried by the operator, SO that
the fruit when picked will pass down
through the tube and into the bas-
a number of rods A, connected by COL
lars at suitable intervals. and which
serve to support a lining OF any suit
able textile fabric.
The discharging elbow is provided
with n soft cushioned portion on which
the fruit falls without breaking or
bruising. The picker arms at the upper
end of the tube are operated by means
of rods B, which lead to lever C.
fulcrumed near the lower end of the
tube.
The picking device comprises two
U-shaped flexible arms d. formed by
extending pair of the supporting
rods A. In addition to these there are
a rair of arms E, located between the
arms d. Attached to the arms ID are
links F, which pass over pulleys sup
ported on arms e, and are connected
to the operating rods B.
The device may be used by placing
the picking arms around the fruit to
be picked, and then detaching the fruit
by a downward or lateral movement
Of the picker without using the lever

fruit is detached by drawing the pick
ing rods inward by means of the op-
Grating lever to the position shown
by dotted lines.

IN these modern days the fate of
the commercial fruit grower hangs
on the kind of transportation he can
secure. Many a man with a big fruit
plantation has been ruined by the
badness of the transportation facili-
ties. When transportation facilities
are poor. rates are often excessive.
and between the two the fruit grower
is unable to make living profit on
his operations. The transportation
problem is therefore the one that
shoAfd be most worked on by the
fruit growers of the country. Some
roads put on the transportation of
fruit "all the traffic will bear" and thje
means often that all the profits go to
the transportation companies.

The milk statistics Of the large cit
les show that there is a good deal
more milk used per person in the
cities than formerly. This is probably
partly due to greater ability of the
masses to buy milk, but in greater
measure to the greater attention paid
to the quality of the milk sold by the
health inspectors and food commits
sioners. There is much less adultera-
ton of milk than formerly and the
average consumer also has more con-
fdence in the cleanliness and whole
someness of the milk supply thar he
once had.

Farmer Evened Up Accounts with
Young WouId-ee Wit.

Young Stevenson was on his way
north to spend the week end with his
parents. and felt in a particularly jov-
ial mood. The train in which he was
travelling had stopped at small vii
lage. AS a farmer who was sauntering
up and down the platform came oppo-
site Stevens's compartment he was
asked by the youth If he knew that the
Duke of Devonshire was on the train.
Immediately the man showed great in
terest. and said: No! Is he?" Il

MAY SOON LEAD TAMMANY

Thomas F. Foley. Tammany leader of the Sec
ond district, who was recently elected sheriff. is
a typical specimen of the born and bred New
Yorker. He has been politician ever since he
was 10 years old. when he went out to support
his widowed mother and two younger children.
An unsrring memory for faces and names and
a sunny smile were his whole stock in trade. but
he proved himself man to be reckoned
with. He made money in the saloon business.
He was never slow about dipping into his roll
to help family in distress. and he would peel
off $50 or 500 bill with the remark. Don't
hurry about repayng that little loan. 1t will do
