PICKING AND PACKING
A FANCY GRAPE CROP
PAGE SEVEN

sometimes bcfore) they are stamp
ed with the brand, name Of shipper
and Kind of pack. They are then
pi ed in stacks nine CT ten high and
trucked into the refrigerator car.
Practically all of the packing is
done by women and girls. They are
paid cents crate. One is not al
lowed to pack more than 100 crates
in one day, thus restricting the wage
earnings to SO or less per day.
After the crates reach the cars
they are piled in tiers nine or ten
high and five wide. The height va
ries with the position in the car.
The crates when lidded are about
five inches high and sixteen inches
square across the top. Their net
weight is twenty-four pounds.
The number of tiers requisite for
bringing the crates in that end even
with the door jamb as nearly as pos
sible, is placed in one end of the car
However, the fruit generally comes
out considerably beyond the iamb
In the other end are placed enough
tiers to bring the two divisions with
In eighteen inches OF each other,
thus putting more fruit in one end
OF the car than in the other. The
tiers in the middle OF the car are
somewhat lower than those in the
ends. This result, which balances
the load, is obtained by the proper
arrangement OF star and plain packs,
which It would take too long To dis
cuss. Every third row as It is plac-
cd in the tier, is braced with car
cleats. When three tiers are placed
they are pounded back with two
by four and a heavy mallet. This Is
done after every third tier is placed
When ALT he tiers are loaded, there
is a space Of about eighteen. inches
between the two divisions. The
whole load is now pounded back and
firmly braced with two by fours.
This operation takes two men one
hour working as fast as they can. IL
must be done to keep the load abso-
lutely in place during its long trip.
Two men can load three cars in one
day II they have plenty of fruit. Az
ter the car Is loaded II is sealed by
the freight agent and Is ready 10 go

Waste Of Feeds

/ was passing through a district
Of the state where some corn is rails
ed. The corn is cut, hauled to the
stack yard, shocked and after being
husked, the fodder is laid in long
low piles where the first heavy storm
can spoil great per cent OF It. Yet
this fodder represents from 80 per
cent to 40 per cent OF the total feed
value OF the corn plant. That is, 1t
would amount to that per cent II II
we're paced before the cattle in its
best condition. AS 1t now is, even
much Of that portion that may be
placed in the feed racks will be re-
fused by the stock. 1t is hard, dry
and unpalatable.
In another district I recently saw
ricks of fodder left over from last
year. The farmer in this case had
taken more than ordinary pains In
caring for this part Of his crop. The
fodder was all tied in bundles and
laid upon poles, so that 1t did not
come in contact with the ground, but
fodder year old, even when cared
for as this was, has very small
feeding value. 1t skaters badly when
handled and is so exceedingly dry
that only a small portion Is consum
ed by the cattle and even that which
is consumed is exceedingly difficult
OF digestion. The corn that goes In
to the si'o can be carried there yea,
after year and will deteriorate hard
Ily at all. The only waste being
few inches of top layer which spoil
in contact with the atmosphere and
even this layer, can be greatly reduc
ed by covering the top with a guam
tity of cut straw or chaff that is wei
packed and dampened immediatel
after the silo filling is finished. j

Handling Once

Did you ever stop to think OF the
profits that could be made through
handling everything that enters into
a business only once?
How many times during the day,
whether your position be that of Of.

chine hand, or superintendent. do
you find yourself handling things
twice that could have been as wei
or better handled once?
Anything that saves time Is a pro

Handling once is certainly time

leaving aside these fattering ele.

Ostrich Trimming on Frocks
Fur is till the smart trimming for
all garments, and 1t promises to re.
main in favor well into the spring.
There is already hint here and
there, however, that designers and
manufacturers are tentatively reach

In one of the smart shops the other

Russian effect, was very simple, and
sparingly ornamented, the only trim
ming, in fact, being hands Of ostrich
in the same shade OF blue as the
dress edging the high, standing col
lar, the cuffs and the lower edge of
the blouse peplum. The effect was
pleasing and perfectly appropriate
for the warmer weather.
Trimmings for Spring Hats
Whether ostrich as trimming for
hats will be favored to any great de
gree, is still question; that It will
be used considerably as in The past
season or two, for fabrics, odd little
stickups, balls, rosettes, and similar
effects, On the chic small hats which
