is evidently quite superior to her hus-
band"

held out his hand with the stiffness of q

Walter went upstairs. preceded by Mr..
Drummond, who insisted on carrying his
carpetbag, for his trunk would not ar
rive till the next day. having been for
warded by express. At five O'Clock they
sat down to supper.

. II the fruitgrower simply tumbles
his apples into the barrel without sort
ing and without arrangement, in order
to get the greatest number into the
barrel, heads it up and ships to mar
ket, he Will discover when he gets his
rh' OK that his fruit has been sold for
the lowest price. The only way to get
the top prices for fruit is to sort 1t
according to grades. arranging in bar
rels or boxes in layers, placing each
apple in by hand, and selecting for the
top layer fruit of the same color. The
top layer should be made up of apples
all of the same size if possible. and the
fruit should come just 10 the top of
the slaves. Then the heading should
be carefully placed on top and gently
pressed down until it slips into the
chine. This can be done better by the
use OF block placed under a lever.
