AS A FRUIT PICKER IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. It is made of Heavy Galvanized Wire, and Easily Adjusted to a Pole. It has been sold forseveral years, and the demand ‘as it is becoming known) is steadily increasin; The difficulty of detaching fruit and securing it unbruised is apparent to every one so engaged This overcomes the diffic ulty, 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 ha large quantities. FPwRICE, FER DOBVWEN, - = = $3.sSo.

By J. SLATER LEWIS. Price Twelve Dollars. FROM THE PREFACE. The system of accounts presented in this book is the result of many years’ close observation and ractical experience, and is what may be termed an interlocking system, under which each and every count in a factory is brought into line monthly, and a general balance of the whole effected. It will be -cen from an inspection of the diagrams a and B that the system is not only capable of diagrammatic proof, \d may, therefore, be relied upon as being complete, but that it may be expanded or contracted as circum- tances may require.
