The physician spread out in an intense

When any man obtains that which he

For shame, my friend! Renounce this idle

Or heaps of corses which his sword hath

In the west there lived good man

teaching the Indians the Christian
faith On one of his trips he stopped at
the ranch of well to do and religious
Swede and requested nights lodging.
The Swede disliked having pack of
greasy Indians hanging about his
place so, after much hemming and

''But these Indians are Christians,
my good brother, and if you can't
abide with them for single night here

HARVESTING STRAWBERRIES.
1t Requires Training, Good Judgment
and Honest Work.


After all the labor and expense re-
CURED in growing large crops of straw
berries unless the harvesting is prop
erly done our labor will have been in
vain. AS in the case of plant setting,
most anybody won't do. 1t requires
training, eood judgment and honest
work Here is whers another trouble
begins. Often we art-compelled to en-
ploy thoughtless children, who think of
but little except eating berries and
playing things that must be firmly
prohibited at the start.
Women the Best Pickers.
Women make the best pickers be-
cause they have better judgment in
sorting and caring for the fruit, are
much less inclined to idleness and play
and know better the value of their
wages. In field of considerable size
a superintendent constantly on the
ground is essential. He must so divide
and separate the pickers as to prevent
visiting and play, see that the berries
are picked clean and at the proper
stage of ripeness, that none is destroy
ed by being lounged upon, that assort
ing is properly done and the baskets
are well filed and dressed and to crate
the baskets ready for the delivery
wagon.
Leaving the Stem On.
In this work two things are supreme
-neatness and honesty. Berries should
not be pulled off, for in doing so the
stem is often drawn out of the berry.
leaving a wound in which the juices
soon begin to ferment, but the stem
should be cut with the thumb nail.
leaving a half inch of the stem on the
berry. Neither should the sides be
abraded so as to start flow of juice,
destroy its appearance and soil the
basket. To avoid this each large ber-
ry should be laid in the basket as soon
as picked. When several are held in
the hand while picking others, some Of
them are sure to be bruised or smash
ed. With the small berries that go in
to the basket of sorts less care is neces-
sary. The berries should be as good
in one part Of the basket as in another.
For a finer appearance the top Of the
basket may be dressed" by turning
the berries on their sides.
Grating the Baskets.
The same rule should apply in crat-
ing the baskets. They should be alike
from top to bottom. AS far as possible
a crate should be made up Of one va
riety, but where this is impracticable
each variety should extend from top
to bottom, so that the grocer when
lifting the cover can see at glance
the grade of the entire crate. VThis Is
not only honest, but in the long run
there is more money in it than the be-
ginner may suppose. In an exacting
market there is much Importance in
this asserting and care of the fruit. In
my market four bushels Of assorted
berries will bring more money than
will the same four bushels mixed with
another bushel of sorts.
