If quarter of the things charged are true the wonder is that that fire and brim stone did not fall from the heavens and oousume the wbole,ouob. We do not place maoh reliance in the wholesale petitioning ee in the majority of caeee a saw -off is arranged by a few lawyers who pocket a good fee, and the horrible wiokedneee is wiped of the slate.

Handling the Apple Crop. . Some timely and valuable advios ou the Belling, pioking and grading of apples le given by W. A. Moo Lunon, Chief of the Fruit Division, Ottawa, Every one in. Wasted in the growing and marketing of apples should write for a copy of Mr. MoKtnnoo'e bulletlu on the "Export Apple Trade", BELLING TAE 011101'. Wheu the grower ie not also au ex- porter he may eell the apples in one of two ways, either at eo much per barrel or at a lump sum for the entire orchard. As buyers often make their oontraote long before pioking time, either method involves ooneideration of the probable market price during Fall and Winter, which will be regulated by the total supply and demand, influenced too by Ohang88 in the quality of the orop. When to thea uncertainty we add the difficulty of estimating months in advance the total yield of an orehaed aubjeot to all changes of weather, to drought, bail, and wind storms, the uubaeineee like ober ester of bargaining by the lump is appar• ant, Whlobever party gains an undue advantage, the traM suffers from this ae from any other kind of gambling. The evetem was strongly condemned by the National Apple Sbippere' Association and oar Canadian buyers describe it as an unmixed evil. Surely no more need be said to induce bath buyers and sellers to abandon such guesswork, and to buy and Bell by fixed etandarde of measure. 110x300. All appiee should be carefully pinked by baud with the stoma ou and without breaking the akin or bruising the fruit in any way, As a general rule ib is advisable for growers to harvest and peak their own fruit, whether they eventually Bell it on the premises or ship to foreign markets. In either Daae it is a great advantage to the' Seller to know exactly the qualty and variety of the fruit in every paokage. It i8 a still greater advantage to have eaoh variety picked at just the proper time. No wholesale buyer ie able to have hie men arrive at eaoh orchard jest when the apples in it are ready. The result ie that every season a great many orobarde throughout 0anada are pioked either too late or too early. Fruit pinked too early may keep bot it is apt to become tough and tasteless ; if pioked too late it will not keep, ae the process of deoay has already begun. TIME TO ?ICE. Tender varieties ebould not be allowed to ripen on the trees or they will not oarrx, well. Certain others, some. times et r7led'Winter varieties,' snob as Baldwin and Spy, will gain in Dolor and flavour If left on the trees as long ae the frost will allow, beeidee being less liable tolepot and mould during storage. It will pay the farmer well to pick hie own fruit and see that this first step in marketing entails no needless waste. Moreover, all varieties of apples are not ready for picking at the llama time, even if destined for the same market; and some early varieties should have more than one pioking to get all the frnit et the proper stage of maturity. Only the grower is in a position to watch hie orchard and harvest the orop to the beet advantage, and it is the grower who loses when be entreats hie task to others, for buyers are certain to allow for shrink• age from this comm. Another lose to the e e fromr t eehired Ower arises Oa B B neBB of Ill help, who often injure trees by breaking limbo and fruit spurs. REMOVAL OP 'DR PB'. Before any fruit ie taken from the trees, every apple, good, bad and indiffer- ent should be cleared off the ground and carried away, to be need for feeding stook or for any other purpose for which they may be fit ; bat not for export. Simil• arty, apples which drop daring the pioking promise should be kept by themselves. We must give the fruit afair abaooe from the alert 1 wormy, rotten or otherwise diseaeed appiee epread contagion, and braieed or defeotive fruit 'Bill not pay for labour, heavy freight chargee and aommiseion. LADDERS AND BASESTB. Stepladders may be used for getting at the lower limbo, and long point top lad. dere for the upper branches ; the baskets should be small enough to turn easily ineide a barrel, and so shaped as to allow the apples to be turned out with a gentle, sliding motion. In picking °are should be taken to avoid breaking off the frail epure wblob oontaiu next year's orop, G1tADIN13. Grading always paps whether the orop be light or heavy. Wheu the wormy, bruised, misshapen and spotted apples have been removed,•the following gaehties should be apparent in the higher grades :—(1) Uniformity in size. (2)Uni- formity fu oolor. (8) Freedom from defeats. Two grades will venally be found sufficient for export, and both of these should be praotioelly free from ineeot or other injariee, the wooed being inferior to the first only in point of Bias and color. All the apples in one grade 0013• not be uniform in sire, but the apples to a Bingle package should be go, for the fruit will be viewed and sold by the peck- ag�eIt, may well happen that a third grade exolaeive et culls, will be found to, con. gist 01 fair marketable fruit, 'wbioh the grower feoie diepoeed to export ; but this grade lacking any epeoialfeatures of ex. oelfenme mod showing a greater perosntage of waste often eats into the profit earned by the finer fruit, beeidee reducing the general reputation of the shippers brand. Muth better average results are likely to be obtained in local markets or from evaporators. The merite of meohenioal geaderb phasedon the market from time to time, should be carefully investigated by all whose shipments are large. A really good and rapid grader will efteot a great saving in time and money, and produce a wonderful difference in the appearance of the trait when eaoh size i8 placed in packages by itself.

The central and Western portione of Manitoba were visited yp Satu da byprob- ably ably the worst storm ever experienoed in the month of September. The heavy rain of Thursday and Friday suddenly turned to sleet and allow, and this, oom• biped with a heavy wind, developed one of the liveliest September blizztrde on record. Telegraph wires are down in all direetioua Westward, making nom. muoioation impoeeible, but the meagre details gathered from travellers reaching Winnipeg by- delayed trains show that the enowlaii was general turn the bound. cry line to the Northern part of the Province, with Portage.ia•Prairie and Morden on the Eastern limit line. Over three hundred telegraph poles are reported down between Carberry and Virden, and a large number between Gladstone and Minoedoea. The only pointe to be reached by wire ere km the Southwestern branch to Deloraine. The moose is reported to be from three to ten inohee deep at some points on the railway North and West of Carberry. A email percentage of the wheat orop is 811:1 uncut and will be a total lose, as the heavy snow hes flattened out the fields, All threshing and harveetieg operations are delayed. The storm is by no mecum confined to Manitoba, es it extended to the Dakotae, Minn'eota, Wisoousin, Iowa and a pan tion of the Northweet Territories, There has been no damage in the dietriot im• mediately adjacent to Winnipeg. The following advioee have been receiv. ed from different pointe :— Neepawa—I1 is well within the mark to gay that this portion of Manitoba experienced on Saturday the most u0• seasonable snowstorm that has ever been Been by any living reeident. Beginning with adrizz ing rain in the early mnru• log, it developed into a enowetorre before noon. The wind blew etrouger and the temperature gut lower, as the afternoon advanced, and from 8 to 9 o'olook the etorm was very severe. Baeineee was nt A etandalil1, and the electric light and telephone eervioee were demoralized. Travelling was impossible. No damage was sustained in town, exnept to wind. mills, obimneye and other elevated portions of boildinge, but everybody felt gloomy mod feared the farmerer grnfn and roaming animals would be destroyed. Theee feelings by no means subsided with the (dorm, which tweed coon after mid - eight. Many are yet apprehensive, but year oorreepondeot has made an inepeo• bion of some grain flelde, and le aonvineed that it favorable weather prevails for the balance of the Seamon the only deteriora• Mon in wheat will be in the oolor.. Prao• tinily all the wheat is in stook. Very little stacking and no 1hteehing hae been done, and bat a email pereenlag13 of the orop was uncut, The latter portion, it ie feared, will be a 10141 lose, 51 will be fully a week before anything can be done id the harvest fields. So much delay at this season of the year is a eeriou8 mat. ter, •enpeoially if the weather continues unfavorable ; but with good weather for one month the great storm will pace into history with no unhappy remembrances. Hartney — Following' a light rain a snowstorm smolt this dietriot • about 10 e'ulook on Saturday morning. A high wind and soft snow 000tinned till maid• night, the,etooke, ()tacks, Ile de and roofs being covered and buainexn was euepend- ed. The etorm was very severe for a time. Ooneiderable damage, feared, it is f d will rnea't. Carberry—A heavy eleetetorril ewept over this dietriot Saturday morning about 11 o'clock. It turned into snow, laid everything is coats t y k d. About 60 per cent. of the crop it still in the stook, but it is not expected that moth damage will be done unless rainy and wet weathee ton tinuea. Gretna—A heavy rain set in about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning end con tinned up till 11 0 0100lt that evening. Over 0E18 Nob of water fell within these few hours. Only about 10 per oent. of grain remains anthreehed, and that lo mostly oats and barley. The wheat orop ie saved in good condition. Lal11801 t UW.
