AS A FRUIT PICKER IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. It is made of Heavy Galvanized Wire, and Fasily Adjusted to a Pole. It has been sold for several years, and the demand (as it is becomlng known) is steadily increasing. The difficulty of detac hing fruit and securing it unbruised is apparent to every one so engage This overcomes the difficulty, and saves the finest fruit, which commands the highest prices. THE LOW PRICE AT WHICH IT IS SOLD brings it within the reach of those who have but little fruit to gather as well as those who have large quantities. FPARLICOE, PER DOWEN, - - = $3.50o.

Best Books fOr an Won and steel Works Chemist. Recommended by ALBERT LADD COLBY. We quote from an article by Mr Colby published in THE IRON AGE of June 15, 1899, and append a list of the books which are recommended collectively for the iron and steel works chemist, with their prices: “ There ought to be a good long shelf of books in the office or balance room of every iron and steel works’ laboratory, for they are as essential to its proper equipment as the apparatus and chemicals. If granted the opportunity the chemist of an iron or steel works can give practical aid in so many lines that his employer will find it to his direct advantage to encourage his chemis: by placing the best books on the sub- ject at his disposal. * * * The writer based the recommendations on a personal examination of all of the books printed in English on analytical chemistry and allied subjects, t12 in number, on a long experience in the use of many of them and on an intimate knowledge of the many ways in which a chemist can aid his employer in the manufacture of iron and steel. * * * The most successful professional chemists are those willing to still class themselves as students, and it is safe to say that in every one of the books recommended in this article at least one good new idea may be found, which if applied by the chemist in his laboratory work will soon save his employer many times the cost of the book.” 1 Arnold, J.O.
