Blue Berrying in Maine.

The berry bushes of Washington county are of the lowbush variety. The high bush blue berry demands soil that is not found aboundantly in that particular part of Maine. It is encountered occasonally, wide stretch es of low bush plants being spotted here and there with high bushes. The low-bush is more abundant and has a better flavor than the nigh bush.
 Abijjah Tabbutt is name to conjure with in Washington county. The late Abijah invented the rake of tin and steel with which the berries are har- vested. a rake which to this day is made by his grandsons. By a clever adaptation of the familiar garden rake and the widely known and highly re spected family dust-pan, he produced an implement which does what it was intended 10 do and does it well. Equipped with from twenty to sixty steel teeth. il makes a great hole in the clusters of berries on any bush in to which il is pushed.
 In 1917 Marcus Oliver, a resident of Columbia Falls. used a fifty-two tooth Tabbutt rake of the latest model on the red letter day when he hung up a world < record for a days picking with twenty-two bushels to his credit.
Norwich bulletin., 1919-09-15

l He says that many times that day wher he pushed the rake into bush he com pletely filled the receiving part of the instrument.
 From the fields to the canning fac tories, the berries are hauled some on huge buck boards drawn by horses or by motor trucks. The largest load ever drawn by horses was l2S bush els. By the time the berries have reached the factories they represent considerable capital in the form of rent. taxes, burning expenses and
 wages for picking. The berry picking
 wage scale has been marked by the
 rising curve. and where years ago two
 cents a quart was the rate. the picker now gets $50 a busheL In Columbia
 Falls are two factories.
 AS the berries are 'raked' each picker's product is carried to a win moving machine on the field. After passing through the machine the ber- ries are placed in shallow half bushel boxes. Uhe DoX being open at it's mar rowest end. In the factory the berries are aga'n winnowed. this time by a through another stage of cleansing and come out absolutely bright and tempting. Poured on an inclined plane, they gradually sift into the heated cylinder in which, in three to five minutes, they are cooked. From the cylinder the berries are discharged through a spout into cans. On the the can is sent on to man provided with a soldering iron, and then goes to the cooler where, under jets of water, the tempera ture is reduced. Eighteen hundred bushels have been picked in a season..

SPORTING NOTES

Everett Nutter, Ohio coal miner and huge faVorlte among New Haven baseball fans. is away to an encour- aging start with the Boston Braves Of the National league. Nutter, batting in cleanup position, has gathered at least one hit in all his four games and is clubbing the ball for the respecta le average of $50, having negotiated seV- en blows in twenty trips to the plate. His fielding has also been of high order. Here's what the Pittsburg gh cores spondent of the Boston Globe says regarding a recent double-h head CT with the Pira tes: The best play of the day from a fielding stand point was made by Nutter in the fourth in ming of the first gaIss when he raced over into right field and gathered in Cary'S low liner with his gloved hand He nearly took a header after the ca atch but held the ball. All of which tends to show that the midget star is up to his old tricks.
 Hal Chase made a remarkable play on Mille-'s fly to right field in a re- cent game. Young had moved toward centerfieId and Hal chased back a bout thirty yards. catching the ball while both were going in the same direction.
 AS an act of precaution for the coming world series, the city council of Cincinnati passed an ordinance making it a criminal act to throw ;l pop bottle on the field during a base ball game.
