The APPLE HARVEST.

Next in Importance 10 raising n good
crop of apples which are relatively
free from scab and worm ut maturity
is that of picking and packing the
fruit and marketing it ia such way
that the best prices shall be realized
for it. The demands of the markets
to which one is tributary will largely
determine whether the apples should
2 be packed In boxes or barrels. Boxed
fruit should be of good size and color
and the bulk of ii grade first class.
More time is required in boxing than
barreling. while as to cost of package
1t comes to about the same per bushel
of fruit packed in eitlisr way. In the
packing of the fruit ad work only
should be !, wed. while the best re-
ceptacle to pick in is the half bushel
basket with wire bale. These can be
rugged with wire hook for fastening
to limbs so as to prevent spills. The
most satisfactory plan when selling to
foreign house is to bave their repre-
sentative in the orchard so that all
the fruit may be inspected and ap-
proved as packed and not turned

best to sell the orchard at such and

In his own orchard the writer has

and the rest being cleaned up few

any established apple market, and as
a rule buyers are willing to pay an
extra price If fruit excels In this re-
spect. For this reason it is well to
allow the apples to remain on the trees
and get the brightest color possible
