Danger From the Plague
There's grave danger from the
plague of coughs and colds that
are so prevalent, unless you take
Pr. Kind's New Discovery for

quickly ends them. It prevents
pneumonia, cures lagrippe, gives
wonderful relief in asthma and

HORTICULTURE
apple picking on a big scale.
The Methods Employed by an Exten
sive Orchardist.
_
Our starting point in picking apple.s
is to train our trees with low heads.
i ms we consider
a very important
matter. as our
men will pick two
to three times as
much fruit stand
ing on the ground j
as they will from
ladders. W hen
trees get so high
that we cannot j
reach the fruit I
from a 16-foot lad
^der we shake it
off and it goes into the cull pile.
We hitch to a low wheeled wagon
and set 22 boxes on the platform. We
then go to the field with a wagon and
pickers and put the team mid-way be
tween two rows of trees. Our force !
consists of from eight to 12 pickers ;
and a foreman. The foreman's busi
ness is to keep the wagon up even
with the pickers, to see that the pick
ers do not get too far away from the
wagon or do not get huddled up so as
to interfere with each other, to see
that they pick the apples clean and
to keep the time of the men.
When the picker fills his sack which
is shown in the cut, he goes to the
wagon, raises the bottom of the sack
u little and rests it into the box. un
hooks a flap on the bottom and the
apples roll out into the box. Enough
ladders are taken along to pick the
apples above reach from the ground.
The loaded wagon is driven to the
packing house and the boxes are set
upon platforms alongside.
Sometimes when parts of our or
chards are too far from the packing
house we pack in the field. We take
two planks 2x8 inches by 16 feet. One
end of each of these planks is cut
•loping, and they are raised for run
ners. We set them on edge, six feet
apart and nail cross pieces every two
feet and then lay common fencing
boards lengthwise on this sled. On
this we set our sorting table length
wise on the front end. Hitch a team to
the sled, drive to the field and do our
packing the same as in the packing
house.
If the trees are very full the sled
can be drawn along between two rows
and the pickers can empty their sacks
directly onto the sorting table. Some
of our neighbors use this sled and
prefer it to the packing house.
Our sorting table, says the corre
spondent of Farm and Home, is eight
feet long by three or four feet wide.
The back end being eight inches high
er than the front, which should be 30
inches high. The bottom is made of
half-round strips with a space of one
inch between to let the leaves and
trash through. On the sides six-inch
hoards are nailed to hold the apples.
In the upper end a three-inch strip is
nailed.
The apples are poured on the upper
end and two sorters on each side do
the work. The second and third
grades are sorted out while spread
upon the table and carried away.
These are nearly always sold in bulk
and so are put in piles or loaded di
rectly into the cars which stand on
the side track by the packing house.
The first grade apples are rolled on
down to the lower end of the table and
into the barrel or box. The first
grade consists of all sound fruit
above 2% inches in diameter. If this
first grade is fancy or a little disposed
to be soft, we pack them in boxes,
but if they are good, solid winter va
rieties we generally pack in barrels.
Our boxes are IS Vi inches long, and
11V2 inches square, inside measure
ment. The ends are % inch thick and
the sides, bottom and top, SK inch
stuff. This box holds about one bushel.
We place a layer of fair sized ap
ples, uniform in size and color with
the stem ends down. Then fill up the
box, shake down well, level up the top
so that the apples are from to V2
inch above the top of the box, put on
the top and with a press force it down
and nail each end, then nail on a cleat
at each end. We then turn the face
side up and with a rubber stamp mark
the name of the variety and our
brand. The box is then ready to ship.
THE ORCHARD.
If a cover crop was not sown in the
orchard last month, attend to the
matter at once. Don't let the ground
be bare all winter.
• Satisfied with the varieties in the
orchard? If not, now is a good time
to decide which trees had better be
grafted next spring.
Watch the peach and other trees
carefully for weak crotches. A few
well-applied bolts, where needed, may
i^tve loss when wind storms come. Do
it now.
If the pears and quinces are scabby
and cracked, and If the leaves have
prematurely dropped from the trees,
it's a sure hint that you neglected to
spray with Bordeaux mixture early in
the season.
Nearly all varieties of pears are
better if ripened indoors. The prop
er time to gather pears is shown by
the eare with which the stem parts
from the branch, when the fruit is
slightly lifted.
We find the much abused Keiffer
pear very fine for canning. The can
neries in these parts put up large
quantities of them. Properly cooked
and canned they are crisp and tender;
and, too, the trees are regular and
prolific fruit bearers and very hardy.
Bulletin No. 222, by Prof. Pettit, is
one of the best authorities yet pub
lished on spraying against codling
moth on apples. Write for a copy to
the Michigan experiment station, Ag
ricultural College post office, Michi
gan. Thorough spraying will now de
stroy the second brood of the moth.
As a general thing (except in south
ern localities) it is usually safer to
plant fruit trees in the spring, espe
cially tender kinds like the peach,
the plum, etc. If desired, apples,
pears, etc., may be set in the early
fall. Even if trees are not to be set
this fat., it is often a good plan to
buy needed nursery stock now, and
then heel it in at home until spring.
Windfall apples should be destroyed
or fed as soon as possible. The or
chardist who thus kills all the worms
which drop to the ground in windfall
fruit, has taken a big step forward
in the destruction of next year's cod
ling-moth crop.—farm Journal.
New Idea in Ladders.
A California man has hit on a new
idea in making a ladder which he
thinks is such a good thing that he
Wide Base Fruit Ladder.
has had it patented. While this lad* j
der is intended for use in workshops, j
in climbing over and about machin- j
ery, says the Prairie Farmer, there \
is no reason but what our readers
can get an idea from this plan for
making a similar ladder for their
own use. The idea is well illustrated
in the accompanying sketch.
WHEN CLEANING THE ORCHARD
How the Work cs' Getting Brush out
. May Be Simplified.
Everybody knows what a tiresome
and slow task it is to clean the brush
out of an orchard with any kind of a
conveyance. When it has to be picked
up it is about the worst work on the
farm. It is even worse than churn
ing with an old-fashioned dash churn.
But one of our new men on the farm,
says a correspondent of the Rural
New Yorker, has made an implement
with which two men and a team can
get it out easily and ten times as fast
as with any other contrivance 1 have
ever seen. He w'ent to the woods
and cut a small tree with a crotch,
as shown, of tough wood. The limbs
he left six feet long and the body
part 12 feet. It was about four inches
in diameter at the crotch, and he
hewed the straight part down, so it
was about two and a half or three
inches at the other end. He then cut
the ends of the limbs a little slanting
on the under side, so as to run smooth
ly along and not catch in the ground.
Across the crotch he bolted a piece
of plank 1% inches thick and six
inches wide firmly to each limb, and

far' enough from the crotch so he |
oould put a heavy clevis on it in the
middle, to which he could fasten a
long chain (the chain should be at
least 12 feet long). To the other
ends of the chain he attached a long
evener six or seven feet long, and a
single whiffletree to this at, each end,
ali of which is shown in the cut. To :
use it one man drives the team and
the other takes hold of long end with

team is driven slowly, and the brush
is gathered by the limbs under the
chain until as much as team can draw
is accumulated. The load is then |
driven up to the lire, where it is burn- j
ing, and when a little past is swung i
off, and the man holding the long j
pole lifts it up. The ends of the j
short posts or limbs catch into the j
ground, and the whole load is rolled |
over on top of the fire in the best
possible p.osition for burning. If
properly made and handled this takes
the brush absolutely clean and with
out touching once by the hands. If
a wood lot is not accessible it can be
made by bolting three pieces of scant

The Pain
Family
You know them; they are
numerous, and make their
presence felt everywhere. The
names of the family are Head
ache, Toothache, Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Neu
ralgia, etc. They are sentinels
that warn you of any derange
ment of your system. When
the brain nerves become ex
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are af
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life unendurable. 'The way to
stop pain is to soothe and
strengthen the nerves. Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Bills do this.
The whole Pain family yield to
their influence. Harmless if
taken as directed.
“1 find Dr. Milos’ Anti-Pain Pills an
excellent remedy for overcoming head
uclic. neuralgia and distressing pains
