IFVrm and Garden ' PACKING APPLES. Methods Employed, to Avoid Bruising the Fruit. All handling of the apple crop should be done with the Idea of bruising, the fruit as little as possible! In all ap ples of good quality a bruised speci men soon becomes a rotten one. Ap ples should be picked Into bags or padded baskets and carefully rolled from these into the barrels or on to the sorting table. A very handy pick ing bag is made by placing a pebble in a corner of a grain sack and tying the corner by means of the pebble to one Side of the mouth of the bag. This makes the bag Into a loop, -which may be hung over the neck of the picker. The mouth of the bag comes to the front and is held open by passing a stiff bent -wire under the hem. This kind of picking bag leaves both hands of the worker free for picking. A gang of pickers will empty their pick- PORTABLE SORTING TABLB. ingrbags and baskets directly on to a portable sorting table placed between the rows on which they are working. This table is placed ,on low truck wheels and has a single whiffletree, so that a horse can move it to any desired point as work proceeds. A cut of this kind of sorting table is here shown. It should be made large enough to hold not less than two barrels of fruit. The rear bolster is higher than that at the open end so that culls can be rolled. A long, heavy plank is placed on the ground on each side of this table on which the barrels are set for filling. The sorters j)ick the apples from the table Into padded wicker baskets Which have low or folding handles, which permit of their being placed down into the barrel before being dumped. Apples would be greatly In jured if dumped from the mouth to the bottom of the barrel. The fruit is sorted into two grades, firsts and sec onds. In sorting exclude all fruits that .are ripe, for if a fruit is ripe at pack ing time it will soon decay and spoil Its neighbors. Fruits that are too green o1- poorly colored should be left out, as they are always of inferior tex ture and flavor. Undersized, diseased, wormy, bruised or misshapen .speci mens should of course go as culls. The culls are allowed to roll into a pile from the lower end of the grading ta ble. After being properly "racked," to insure a tight pack, and when ready for heading the fruit should stand as PUTTING TBB HEAD IN PLA03I. evenly as possible at about one-half to three Inches above the chime of the barrel. A corrugated paper cap or excelsior cushion should be placed . on, the head laid and the press applied. The figure shows the barrel with the screw press In position ready for driv ing down the head. Just beneath the head may be seen the excelsior cush ion. After a little experience a handy man learns lots of little knacks about heading np fruit Maryland Experi ment Station. , How to Pack Apples. Two layers of fruit should be placed In the bottom of a barrel, with stems down and as close together as possi ble. These will form the facing, for this end will be the top when opened. Fill In with the same grade, shake of . ten and when near the top put in two more layers with stems up. letting the last layer stand a fuH inch above the Chime of the barrel Now put on the lid and slowly press Into place, shaking the barrel- In the meanwhile.

Shingles , warp and curl because after a : wettingr and they .get manv i tbempper side dries .first.1! -In a ! tew years the roof leaks, decays. and must come off. Many years ago farmers made what they called their "evei lasting," roofs of white pine, cedar, and black walnut shingles, free from sap, rived with a frow, and shav ed with a drawing knife. Such i shingles can not now be bad, for the fine straight grained tim ber necessery for their manu facture is scarce and very expen sive. Formerly good wood was plenti ful and shingles cheap. It costs more to replace a leaky roof now, and earnest search . has been made for ways to check the warp ing and decay of shingles, and make the roof hut longer. The Forest Service has studied the shingle .problem along with that of the preservation of farm timber. It is found that shiiigles treated with creosote by a special process which the Service has invented, warp but little and decay slowly because water is kept out of the tissues of the wood. One such root will outlast two or three left in natur al state to curl, spring leaks, and fall to pieces. The creosote used Is nothing: more than dead oil of coal tar, but it keeps water trom entering the pores of the wood and renders it immune to decay for a lone time. A roof of that kind costs a little more at first, but it is cheaper in the long run. Woods which are usually classed as inferior, such as loblolly pine, beech, sycamore, and others which are quick-decaying, readi ly take the preservative treatment and are given a largely increased value. The perserving apparatus is neither expensive nor hard to operate. One such outfit will serve several farmers. The main items are an iron.. tank( an old engine boiler will do) with pre servative fluid in it and a fire under it, and another tank of cold preservative. The shingles or other woods to be treated are immersed for a sufficient time in the hot creosote, and then in the cold. Full details of the operation are given to applicants for infor mation by the Forest Service at at Washington. Shingles are one of the most important lumber products in this country. Iast year nearly twelve billions were made.' Even this enormous number was a heavy falling off from the total of the year before. It is a sig nificant fact the chief source ; of shingle supply is now the forests of the far northwest,, from which shingles are brought even to New York. The eastern sources of supply are not able to meet the eastern demand. It is there fore fortunate that shingles are so easily given a preservative treat ment by which their life is length eaed. ... Many handsome residences in all parts of the country have their sides and gables covered with shingles. This architectur al use often calls for staining or painting in harmonious . colors. Such coloring is less frequently seen on roofs, . where it does not last long, because tain washes it off. : . ... ... :. The Forest Service has been experimenting in this field, also, and has found that stains may be carried into the .shingles, ajong with the preservatives by . the new process. The coloring mat ter is mixed with; creosote, reaches every fiber which "the creosote touches, and lasts as long as the creosote lasts and that is a long time. Such a stain does not easily weather, put, whether on .walls or gables, , or roof. It is ! expected . to prove much snrperiar to the.old way of staining or , painting the surface only.' - .1'--' - -. : " ' 111 j Jersey Bull For Sale. 4Isiissndad-faQs Gtsaut Gate sd 3o - bsfat, te79a. bbfifstalf. -Audited Fnssk Groves, John Withycombe, Oregon Dairy men's ; Association The sixteenth annual meeting of the Oregon Dairymen's Association will be held under the . .auspices of. the Portland Commercial Club a :PortJand, Oregon, on December and 134 '07. .
