DRUG STORE OF DISPLAY , The Champion grape received a similar castigation. Its only virtue is its earliness, and this Mr. Powell thinks has made it one of the worst enemies of the grape grower, inas- much as the price of the Champions at first very high, draps almost to nothing. The last price of the Champion, or what the public are willing to pay after they have be- come acquainted with its wretched quality, fixes the price for all other grapes which follow though they are infinitely superior in quality to the Champion. In other words, rock bottom prices having been once fixed ;it is impossible to get back to normal “prices. Mr. Powell Spoke rather I more kindly of the Alberta peach, but is of the opinion that it also is not an unmixed blessing, to the fruit growers. It is a splendid shipper but has no quality. In an address at the recent annual meeting of the American Pomological Society. held at Boston, Mr G. Har- old Powell gave some excellent advice in regard to growing fruit of first class quality. Many of the points which he brought out were noted with approval by Mr W. A. McKin- non, Chief of the Dominion Fruit Division, and are given here for the benefit of Canadian fruit growers. Mr. Powell recommended as summer apples for the United States, Red Astrachan, Sweet Bough. and Wil- liams: for autumn apples. Graven- stein and Alexander : for winter the Greening. the Newton Pippin, which he stated had sometimes sold as high as $20 00 a barrel, the King. the Spitzenberg, Baldwin. Spy, and Mc- Intosh Red. He~recommended tap grafting the King on two year old Spies. stating that in this way a vigorous tree bearing good crops would be obtained. Regarding the Ben Davis, Mr. Powell made a very cutting criticism, declaring it had only one quality to recommend it, namely, its color ; and stating that no fruit would take a prominent place in our markets or would continue to be a profitable one for growers, which depends upon a single virtue for its sale. The conclusion to be drawn from Mr. Powell’s remarks is that what- ever transient advantages may be obtained by the grower from the production of inferior varieties. it is to his permanent advantage, and it is his only wise policy to produce the highest quality in each sort of fruit which he places on the market. Striking teStimony to the value of , such advice is furnished by some j reports of fruit sales juSt received by ; the Fruit Division from London, . England. On Oct. 7th, there were sold a large number half-cases of Californian and other American pears, including about a dozen varie- ‘ ties. The Seckel which is generally: regarded as a pear of the highest quality, though small in size, sold for 1:?" ; the Glout Morceau for 13/6 ; the _ Calabash (similar to our Bosc) for} 11/ ; the Cornice (one of the varieties} recommended by the Fruit Division ) | for 11," to 12:". If we contrast these» prices with those for fruit of inferior l, quality we must conclude that the; Englishman wants only the best fruit E and that he is prepared to pay for it. Bartletts, which are certainly above: medium quality fetched 6/ to 7/ ;‘ Anjou 9"; Clairgeau 7 to 7/6: Duch ess 3 9; to 4" ; Hardy 2/6 to 39 ; and , Keiffers. which it is only fair to; mention were “ wet ” only ten pencei to l,’ a cask. Large quantities of? Canadian apples sold on the same; day brought all the way from9 10] to 2:3 per barrel (the latter figure being for Rihstons) with the 1 great majority at 15 to 16,”. On Oct. 12, half case of Comice pears were i sold by the same firm for 11/6; while ' the Duchess variety fetched only 4/3, these being the only two sorts of pears handled that day The highest figure for apples on that date was 25/, agaln to the credit of No. 1 Ribstons, while the lowest prices were 12/ for No. 2 Full Pippins, and 13/ for No. ‘2 Ribstones and Gravensteins. The wide variation of 10/ per barrel, be- tween No. 1 and No. ‘2. Ribstons, is . particularly worthy of notice, in- dicating as it does that quality is , sure to tell. In view of the scarcity and high'] price of apple barrels this season, and 1 of the fact that in some districts‘; farmers find it impossible to procure , barrels at any price, the Fruit Divis- l ' ion recommends the general use- ofl‘l boxes. These can be had knocked I down. at almost any saw-mill for 2 about eight cents each, and they 1 should not cost more than ten cents I each made up. As three boxes hold; about as many apples as a barrel. they will be found much cheaper than barrels at fifty cents and up-l Lwards. The boxes should be welll l and strongly nailed, and should hold’i about forty pounds of fruit. The‘: dimensions oflhhe boxes used by the? Grimsby shippers are nine by twelvel by eighteen inches. while the British Columbia standard box is ten by eleven by eighteen inches. these ,being inside measurements in both leases. The boxes should be made of | ~ . sstrong material not less than-five- ieighths of an inch thick for the ends. I unu not lessgthan three-eighths of an iinch for the sides; the tops should l have stripsacross the ends to prevent the weight of other packages. piled lon t0p. from hearing directly on the fruit. It is also usual to leave open .,corners at the top and bottom for { ventilation. Little or no packing ; material should be used as pur- | chasers like to find the package quite lfull of fruit. A sheet of cardboard ' l at the top and bottom will materially lreduce the amount of injury from A Plea for Quality in Fruit. Boxes FOR APPLES. bruises. But it should be remember. ed that even in this year of scarcity of barrels. it will not do to ship any. thing but first class fruit in boxes, as the reputation of the Canadian box and of the Canadian trade in general will greatly snEer if inferior or com mon fruit is imported in the box or any fancy package. A very successful Pie and Box so- cial was held in the schoolhouse on Friday evening the 23rd of October. The program consisted of recitatiens, songs. plays. instrumental music and gramophone selections. All went home well pleased with the ex- ception of those who paid over a dol- lar and a half for a girl’s box and then let some one else take her home. Never mind Will Try again. Miss Hannah Lawrence spent Sat- urday and Sunday at her home here. Mr. Robert and Miss Winnie Hop- kins visited friends at Markdale. Miss Maggie Alexander is learn- ing the Millinry Business at Miss Dick’s. While in town the other day. Mr. W. Hargrave left his team tied in front of Mr. Parker’s Drug Store while he was doing some shopping. By some unknown cause the horses broke loose and started for home where they arrived quite safe and waited Mr. Hargrave’s return. We omitted to mention that Mr. W. K. Reid had returned after a pleasant visit with his daughter in Manitoba. Miss Mary McRonald is at present staying with her sister Elizabeth. It might be as well for the person who took the new lantern and left the old one the night of the Pie So- cial to return it as there was a. pri- vate mark on it.

Price LEG AMPUTA'I‘ED.â€"On Friday last Dr. Moore. of Hornings Mills, assist- ed by Drs. Rooney and Steele, of Shelburne. went to Whitefield and amputated Mrs. Robt. Davidson’s leg some distance above the knee. 0n the Tuesday previous Mrs. Davidson was alighting from a rig in the rear of E. Berwick Co.’s store Shel- burne. when the bone in the leg snapped in two. Not knowing the nature of the accident Mr. Davidson drove home at her requesc. After arriving there Dr. Moore was called in and after examination called Dr. Rooney in consultation. The result was that amputation was considered necessary. The accident was due to a swelling in the walls of the main artery. which rubbed against the bone and had worn it. almost. in two. The extra weight. put. upon it in alighning caused it: to snap, but this would ultimately have occurred in any event. At last'accouuts Mrs. Davidson was pragressing as well as could be exp60ted.â€"SHELBURNE FREE PRESS.
