THE
Ex Err R
OF AN?
There are three ways of securing the
apple crop; by shaking the fruit from
the tree, by gathering it by hand and
then dropping the apples into the bas-
ket, which may be hanging on the lad-
der two or three feet below our reach,
and the third way of gathering the
fruit by hand and carefully laying each
apple in the basket. The tremendous
crop of last season, says Mr. Gregory,
affords the opportunity to test the com-
parative merits of each of these three
plans when carried out on a large scale.
The argument of those who practised
the first named plan was that the ap-
ples were so plenty. and consequently
cheap, that it would not pay to hand
pick Them, and the shaking of them off
on the second crop or grass growing be-
neath the trees would bruise but a
small per cent. of the fruit. An At-
lantis cyclone, which descended on us
soon after we had begun apple -picking.
gave me, to my exceeding regret, an op-
portunity to teat the merits of this sys-
tem of apple -gathering. All the fruit
lying on the grass under the trees was
carefully gathered up and piled before
we began hand picking. I gave the
gathering up my personal supervision,
to see to it that the fruit was care-
fully laid in baskets, and that these
were carefully emptied on the piles. At
convenient intervals these piles were
sorted over, the small and bruised fruit
bong carried to the cider mill, and that
apparently sound but in barrels. These
barrels were protected from the rain,
and carried from time to time to the
shed, where the fruit was again care-
fully examined under my supervision,
and only such as appeared to be per-
fectly sound, were put up in barrels,
headed and transferred to a dark, cool
sellar. The remainder of the crop was
hand-picked as carefully as 1. could get
it done by my regular farm hands, all
under careful supervision. As these
men were not hired to pick by the bar-
rel, they had no motive, to slight their
work. 'These apples also were headed
up in' barrels and put in the cellar, side
by side with the first lot. Two months
later I took from the two lots about
forty barrels to market, and, unheed-
ing picked them over, and made the for -
lowing memoranda on the results,whieh
I copy from my note book ; "I find
that windfall apples, taken from the
grass ground, and apparently all sound
at the time of packing, have rotted
nearly a third within two months from
the time they 'were barrelled, while
those carefully hand-picked from the
tree, have rotted abut one -fortieth. On
February 10, another lot of these sort-
ed windfalls averaged about half sound
to the barrel, while the hand-picked of
the same variety. lied Russets, gave
about a couple of quarts of unsound
ones to the barrel. The dollar -and -cent
inference from this investment is that
the best sorted windfalls are a pret-
ty ticklish sort of an investment. and
that in seasons when apple, are cheap
and labor as high as of average years,
it is decidedly cheaper. to send all this
quality of fruit dire.•tly to the cider
mill rather than be at the care of gath-
ering it together, and making two
careful sortings of it, to have a third
rot on your hands before marketing;
fox the rotting is not only so much di-
rect Ioss, but also involves the loss of
muh time in overhauling and wiping
the sound fruit that remains, so as to
make it decently presentable.
Now a remark or two on the practice
quite general of hand-picking the fruit
and then dropping it into instead of
carefully laying it in the basket. I had
recently occa'ion to examine two large
lois of apples which had been gathered
by the two different methods. Each lot
was kept the wane way in large bins
and in cellars. In the one carefully
handled 1 could hardly find at this date
February 22, a rotten apple ; indeed,
on lo. kingearefully over a surface that
would make several barrels, I saw but a
single decayed fruit, while in the lot
picked by the dropping process, from
one-fifth to one-quarter of the fruit
was unsound. In the first instance the
owner had.gathered his apples with his
own hands, and in the other there had
been boys employed. Consider now the
lass which is the result of careless hand-
ling of the fruit. One man boasted to
me that he had picked twenty barrels
a day; I felt that I could not afford
to employ him ; another could pick with
care from eight to ten barrels per day.
Apples picked by the first man would
have cost me directly about 10 cents
a barrel ; those by the second about 17
cents, a difference of 7 cents on the
barrel for picking. Now lel us consid-
er the indirect, and yet just as real cost.
At this season of the year Baldwins are
usually worth from e2 upward per bar-
reI. Assuming that the carelessly
picked fruit loses one-fifth by rotting,
and the carefully gathered one -fortieth,
then the loss on the fruit is 35 cents
per barrel more than on that picked
by the careful man; and adding this
indirect to the direct cost of his work,
his fruit -picking has really cost me 4
cents a barrel, while the work of the
careful man has cost but 17 cents. The
remark of the wise man made last fall,
that the profits of the apple crop in the
season of unprecedented plenty would
ultimately be found in the pockets of
the careful picker, is abundantly dem-
onstrated by the comparative condition
of the fruit in the cellars of hundreds
of farriers at this date. We cannot
afford to employ- these careless fast
pickers. We would make more money
in the end by hiring them at e5 a day
to let the apples alone and eat . roast.

A MULCH FOR THE ORCHARD.
A green mulch for the orchard, vine-
yard or small fruit plantation serves
many good. purposes. It keeps. the soil
from washing by the heavy rains of
fall and spring; it bolds the snow and
covers the ground, says a writer in Na-
tional Stockman, thus preventing the
frequent freezing and thawing Which
is so injueious email fruits ant:
young trees ; it belps to subdue the
weeds ; it adds fertility to the soil anS
supplies humus, which in its turn ina
proves the mecbanical texture of al
soils, holds moisture in dry seasons an'

make any
tet their orchards stand
„i sou, or put on no catch crop if they
do cultivate. There are several crops
that axe suitable for this purpose.
-Crimson clover is probably the best.
for the southern tier of central and
middle states and such other places
where it will thrive. It should be sown
by the middle of July or first of Aug-
ust, and at the time when cultivation
should cease. It forans a dense cover-
ing to the ground and serves all the
purposes of a mulch and adds a won-
derful amount of nitrogen to the soil.
It will crowd out weeds and in many
places will seed itself if not cultivated
out clean. Farther north where crim-
son clover does not thrive we have near-
ly an ideal catch crop in rye. This
does not add as much fertility to the
soil. nor do its roots penetrate so deep-
ly and loosen and pulverize the sub-
soil. Buckwheat is another goodcrop
but it .does not live over the winter,
and needs to be sown earlier than eith-
er rye or crimsom clover. It forms a
good mat of deadvegetable matter,and
I have seen very marked results from
a system of buckwheat culture in vine-
yards and small fruit plantations. Vetch
is a splendid cover crop for Northern
fruit growers who cannot depend on
crimson clover. Like buckwheat it has
to be sown early and does not stand
the winter, but it forms a dense cover-
ing to the ground, and is rick in fertil-
izing value, In this latter point it is
far superior to either rye or buck-
wheat. It should 'be sown about the
Middle of July at the rate of a bushel
of seed to the acre. In pear orchards
a cover crop which can be sown early
is desirable so that it may cover the
ground before the fruit ripens. It will
then form a cushion for the fruit
which drops or is blown off, and pre-
vent severe bruising as well as keep-

AN INCIDENT AND A SEQUEL.
!Sow a cripple Boy Became a Power in the
'World.
Ono of Dr. A. X. Gordon's favorite
sayings was that Goa never made a
half -providence any more than a man
makes a half -pair of shears. A good
many years ago a little Scotch boy,
fonr years old, was caught in a thresb-
ing-macbine, and his right arm was
torn off. That was a terrible accident
ear every sense: of tbe word, for the boy
not only lost the use of hie arm, but
was deprived of a future livelihood. He
was a farmer's son. and, it was sup-
pesed, could himself be nothing but a
farmer. Now what would happen to
him when het grew up ?
This problem the boy's mother took
to her heart. There she held her muti-
leted laddie, and prayed that God would
make him a prophet. As lais serviee on
the. farm was out of the question, she
prayed that he might be used for tr,
nobler husbandry. Thus the boy grew
up, with his mother's prayers of dedi-
cation ringing in his heart, and in
spite of hiraself, they formed his life.
He could not evade them. Her pray-
ers shut him in with God.
The lad grew and stuslied, and was
admitted to the University of Edin-
burg. He ie the student of whom the
story has been: often told, how Doctor
Blaekie asked the country boy to rise
and recite. Geggie—for that was his
name—arose and held his book awk-
wardly in his left hand.
"Take your book in your right hand,
mon!" said. the teacher, sternly.
"I lute nae right hand," answered the
youth, holding np his stump.
There was a moment's silenee, which
was broken hy the hisses of the class.
Tears of mortification -v.-ere in the stun-
ent's eyes. Then Doctor Blackie ran
down from his desk, and putting his
atm about the lad's shoulder, as a
father might, said;
"1 did not mean to hurt you, lad.
I did net know."
Then the hisses were changed to
loud cheers and Doctor Blackie thanked
the stuelesits for the opportunity of
teaehing a class of gentlemen.
It was about that time that Major
Whittle came to the University, and
in the great awakening that follow-
ed, Geggie was the first to give him-
self up to the service of Christ.
Some time afterward Doctor Gordon
was telling this story to his congrega-
tion in Boston. There was an impres-
sive stillness, and after the service had
closed with more tha.n usual solemnity,
a stranger walked up the isle. The
congregation noticed that he bad only
one arm. With a feeling of peculiar
prese3ntiment, Dootor Gordon came
down the pulpit: stairs to meet him.
"I am your Geggie," the stranger
said, with great emotion.
Doctor Gordon, with a ringing voice,
called his coagregation back and told
them that his illustration was before
them. The student was asked to epeak.
He related the story of his accident,
his mother's prayers, and how he had
now consecrated his life.
As the congregation left the church
that morning, the thought came to
mare tha.n one: "Every man's life is
divinely planned. If adversity is in-
evitable, C4od. makes the misfortune fit
the plan. Many a you.th, without
knowing it, is working out the life to
which his mother's piety devoted him;
and. ber vaves and the Infinite Wisdom
are parts of a perfect providence."

SAVING LABOR IN SUMMER.
Now that the warm weather has come
housewives in general want to make
their work as lighL as possible, or at
least they do not wish to do more than
necessary. In many ways the general
routine work can be lightened. Cooking
will be simpler, for fresh vegetables
and fruits take the place of other dishes
which require cooking and which were
better relished in cold weather. The
greater part of the summer sewing is
done and nothing in that line will be
thought of until fall. The housewife
requires some time for pleasure and
rest, and all out-of-door invites her
now. •
The whole house being opened to ad-
mit the blessed air and sunshine, ac-
cumulates considerable dust. For this
very reason some wise housekeepers re-
move heavy hangings and cover their
upholstered furniture. Many ornaments
which collect dust are put away. Cov-
ers are drawn over sofa pillows, making
them cool Iooking and clean. By this
method dusting is simplified, and if a
room is put in order and dusted daily,
one sweeping a week will be enough,
with, of course, the exception of the
family sitting room. Fresh, flowers take
the place of ornaments and brighten'
up the entire house. Nothing is sweeter.
In the morning the occupants of the
bedrooms throw back the bed clothes
and open their windows wide. After
breakfast when the housewife comes to
make up the beds they have been tbor-
oughly aired and she need wsste no
time. This thoughtfttlniee on the part
of the family is a great help to one
who must do all of the work.
The hardest work and the most dis-
agreeable is that of the kitchen, but
many a housewife makes much extra
work for herself through carelessness
and a lack of neatness. A certain house-
wife who complains about the great
amount she has to do, was making jam
one day. and not wishing to spend much
tune over it, she filled the kettle to
overflowing. When the mass commenc-
ed to cook the fruit juice boiled over
onto the stove and floor, time and time
again. Of course when the jam was
done she had to wash both stove and
floor, which was by no means easy, as
the sticky juice bad hardened. Had she
filled the kettle only half full each
time she would not have had to watch
it continually and there would have
been no such mess. Time and work
would have been saved. If one is care-
ful about such matters. a stove re-
quires but one thorough blacking and
polishing every week. Keep a cloth con-
venient and directly after frying or
cooking wipe the grease off. If the
cloth is used every morning and the
dust removed a stove will always look
clean.
Much. work is spared oy having the
kitchen floor stained or painted. Two
coats of good, dark paint and cracks
and creview filled with putty, will put
a flooir in nice condition and easy to
keep clean. No scrubbing is necessary
Wiped up when needed with a soft
cloth and warm soapy water, it always
looks clean. The pantry floor should al-
so be painted. If the pantry is large
enough to accommodate a small table,
one should he put these. Very often a
cake can be beaten up a pie or a pan
of biscuits made without disturbing the
kitchen. The best mule for minimizing
the pantry work and keeping it neat
and clean is to have a place for every-
thing and everything in its place. When
a cover is removed from a box put it
back when through. Have narrow strips
of wood nailed along the shelves two
inches frc:a the wall ; teen platters may
be set against the wall without danger
of sliding down. Rave books in the wall
on which to hang pans, pails, etc., out
of the way. A small chest of draw-
ers under the lowest shelf is a handy
thing in a pantry. Here the coarser lin-
en may be kept, together with towels,
dust cloths and kitchen aprons. Have
a shelf over the pantry table for flav-
oring extracts, rolling pin, yeast pow-
der ebe. It will save many steps. A
wise housekeeper will Have a small
shelf beside the stove on which to keep
the spices she needs fox cooking. These
will be put in covered boxes labeled so
that no time need be wasted in finding
them. She will have a box containing
salt and another full of flour for thick-
ening gravies, sauces, etc. Cooking ut-
ensils will be kept near the stov and
out of sight if possible. -
Dish -washing, generally leo n
as most disagreeable, can be a
very simple operation by having p enty
of bot water, soap, clean towels and
dish cloth. . A large kettle of water will
heat while the family is at the table.
Have a capacious dishpan and use soap,
and it will take but a few minutes to
put the dishes away. Rinse up the dish
cloth and towels, and hang them up
in the sunlight to dry. They will then
be clean and sweet smelling for the
next time. Before commencing to wash
the dishes have them all on the table
or sink near the dish pan, and when all
are wiped, pile them neatly together,
and carry them to the pantry. If one
has a dining room the table can always
be kept in readiness and the dishes put
back again when washed. This saves
mush work.
One excellent housekeeper makes it a
point to prepare as much as possible
of breakfast the evening before. Her
table is spread, the fire is laid, the wee
ter kettle filled, coffee ground and the
kitchen in order before she retires. She
sprinkles her wash in the evening in
order to start in early the following
morning with her ironing. She is an
early riser and generally has time to
clean and prepare for cooking the vege-
table she is to have for dinner. She
generally calculates to cookwhat dishes
she can serve cold when she has a fire
in the morning, and the meals are usu-
ally planned a day ahead, so she knows
what time she will have. On washing
a.nd ironing days she endeavors to have
the work done as early in the morning
as possible, and 8* avoids the enervating
heat of mid-day.
In trying to get along with a gaso
line or oil stove, one is apt to have
many cold meals. This should to some
extent be avoided. If cold meat is serv-
ed have some simple warm soup or
swarm drink, and if the dinner is warm
-old drinks may be taken. There are
i number of • easily made soups—all
nourishing and palatable, and for which:
SPOILED CHILDREN.
Probably at nn time during a child's
life will proper training be of so much
importance as during illness. A dis-
obedient or obstinate child will often
refuse to take the necessary medicine,
thus endangering his life, and quite
often, too, the excitement he undergoes
in being compelled is worse than no
medicine at all. Parents who know
that their children would act in such a
manner ought to correct the fault. A
father of two little girls said recently
when the younger one was threatened
with a dangerous disease: "I do not
like to bave either sick, but ob, I would
rather have the older one sick twice
than bave Anna down once, because she
will not take medicine, and she is so
obstinate 1" One certainly does not feel
like correcting or threatening a sink
child, and such obstinacymay cost its
life. It would be wise or parents to
teach their children to take medicine
without complaint. A child who is not
obedient, hes certainly had his train-
ing neglected. It must be a source of
much, worry to the parent that in case
of sickness the little ones will be trou-
blesome for nurse or doctor, and too
often the doctor is blaanod when the re-
sults are fatal. Proper attention to this
cannot commence at too early an age,
and half the anxiety usually attendant
upon a little one's illness will then be
obviated.
