After the bog has been pretty carefully glnaned by the pickers, it Is flooded, and the loose berries are thus washed to the shores and captured.

Several crates may be obtained this way. Separating the Sound From the Unsound Berries. As fast as tho picking goes along the berries arc carted In crates to the storage houses, and if the owner has not sold them "In the dirt," Just as they came from the marsh, cleaning takes place as the colder weather approaches. Tho berries, to clean and sort them, are dumped into a machine thai, looks very mi'i-h like the old-fashioned winnowing machine used by farmers to clean their wheat. This machine consists principally of a scries of drums.

The berries fall upon the drums In a steady stream. If they are good and sound they will bounce nicely to the proper receptacle; If thev are soft or rotten they will not bounce, and thus are carried by the drum to a receptacle prepared for them. Thus are the bouncers separated from the ntm-bouncei-H, and the better the bouncer the more dcliccte palate Is lie likely to tickle, for he will probably fetch the best price. All classes of Long Island berries are quoted as high, if not a little higher, than the product of other sections, and because of this the crop is generally considered a remunerative one, although it requires considerable capital to start a marsh and kpnl 11 Boing properly, for avenues of approach to the residence lined with shade trees and shrubbery in harmony with the architecture of ths buildings, walls and Italian gardens. The Messrs.

Tho Messrs. Hicks had a display of pines, firs, spruces, cedars and other non-deciduous trees and of half-grown maples and elms, taken up for transplanting.

L. September 26 Up to late this week the weather conditions have been exceptionally good for the successful harvesting of the cranberry crop In this section, and the bog owners have prosecuted the work with a speed seldom before attained. The crop of berries is rather above the normal, so It is already tracted as great attention as it did at the Rlverhead lair. It was a splendid evidence as to what can be done on the sandy soil of Long Island. Mr.

September 26 Sinco the barbers of this village, by mutual agreement, decided to close their places on Sundays, some citizens have found It necessary to travel to adjacent villages for a shave or hair cut in order to be presentable for church or other occasions incident to the day. Tho closing of the barber shops has aroused not a little criticism, as well as a dcflix'tion business on Sundays. Stores whero dry-goods, shoes, are sold are kept open until 10 o'clock In the morning. Cigar, confectionery and soda water places, fruit stores, are allowed to be open all day, tho law. It is claimed, permitting the sale of such commodities.

Bootblacks, loo, do business for the greater part of the day. On the waterfront, outside the village limits, are hotels where it is possible to have one's thirst, quenched by almost anything asked for in the liquid line, and business goes on uninterrupted, so that almost anything can be had in the community on Sunday except a shave or hair cut. These, never. To newcomers In the village, and even to those who have resided in It for some years, tho cloHing of the barber shops on metropolitan district of Long Island. The poultry building was nearly doubled in size this year, yet it could hardly bold the exhibits In that class, which Cattle From Famous Estates.

The big estates of the wealthy men of Nassau were well represented In the cattle sheds, and the exhibit in this department was one of the finest ever seen at Mlneola. All of the cattle were registered, and some of them were famous animals. R. D. Winthrop of Westbury, who had ten pens of Guernseys, fine butter producers, took all the prizes in that class, from his calf a few weeks old to a big, three-year-old bull.

Castlegould took all the premiums for the little Dexter-Kerry cattle, the projenitors of which were imported from Ireland. Nine pens were shown. Charles H. Jones of Cold Spring Harbor and S. S.

Underhill took first on some fine Shorthorns; R. S. Smith of Oyster Bay, on a fine lot of Ayrshlres, big milk producers, and on Jerseys. Payne Whitney took Jersey premiums, and Jacob Williams of Roosevelt also had comprised over 2,000 birds. The art de partment and woman's department was so crowded there being over 800 exhibits that the entire structure will have to be enlarged, it 1b said, before another season.

The carriage and automobile Pickerings, and the way the great packages were handled by these little laddies was a lesson in industry. Every load was a staggering one, but It reached Its corner safely, and the work of untying, sorting and folding was begun at once. There were two who seemed only just beyond the baby age, but what they lacked In size and years they mado up In spirit. The elder of these two was Inclined to give orders, and, dumping a big package carelessly where the littlest one was gravely folding and counting, said: "Here, get this ready for the wagon." The little brother looked up with eyes that betoken anger, but. after a steady, reproving glance, said: "You 'tend to your work, and I'll 'tend to mine," which he certainly did.

If the children are at school and Pickering away photographing on tho big estates where he has a steady patronage, his wife wheels the baby, awake or asleep, Into the store, and is as cheerful over the Interruption as If she had nothing else to do. Whole Family Is Always Busy. There Is always a lot of work to do developing for amateurs, and the eldest daughter is an able assistant here, as well as in housewifely duties.

Instructor at the Sane Sundays Is looked upon us a peculiar and rather unneccsary move. The proprietors, save one, an Italian, think tho closing movement waB the right thing. They hud formerly been permitted to keep open until 111 o'clock, by the grace of Police Captain John Dunbar, who had orders from the villuge fathers to lot the wielders of the razor do business until that hour, when shades were drawn and doors lucked. Some of the barbers.

It was currently reported, became Jealous of the Italian barber, because he kept open on the Fourth of July, which was a Saturday, the busiest day of the week generally, hence the Sunday closing pact. However, the fuct that no shaving or hair cutting la dune now has Inconvenienced a lot. of citizens. Some have got out their razors, which they had laid away in case of emergency, stropped them up, and gone through the operation of mowing off their whiskers when they happened to get caught for lack of lime to get shaved Saturday night. Others, as stated, have gone to adjacent villages, where they found the shops wide open.

"It's a deuce of a note when a man gets up Sunday morning, after a hard week's work, takes a notion to go to church, or has company coming, goes to tho village. If he Is a newcomer like am. and finds not a single barber shop Is open so that he can be scraped or get a hair cut, that he might be presentable. Nice situation, ain't it?

Spraying Circumvents Insect Pests. Lately some of the marsh owners have tnken to spraying to prevent the ravages of pests and blight. This is found to be very effective, yet the old-fashioned flooding is still of much benefit lis a means of pest riddance aB well as Irrigation and fertilization; still other fertilizer is used, too.

During tho blossoming and growing period of the berries, the marsh Is a handsome sight, with its rich carpet of level green almost as far as ono can see, with the pretty blossoms stuck In here and there; but often, In the winter, as is shown by one of the accompanying photographs, the marsh is converted Into a raging, white-capped bay. To those unacquainted with the work, cranberry growing looks like an easy, enticing, money muklng wlthout-effort pastime, but like evcrytning else where there Is Homo gain, it has Its bad features, its hard work nnd Its drawbacks. All summer must tho owner, with a force of men, get down on his hands and knees and pull weeds, one by one, and cart them away In baskets, for, of course, horses cannot be driven over the vines; then, too, tho farmer must, look out for peats, and bo on guard against a dozen other contingencies that might destroy the work of half a lifetime in a few hours.

predecessors. Cranberry picking In this section begins anywhere from the first to the middle of September. This year It began on the flrst, because the dry and hot season, which had matured the berries a littlo ahead of time. The reason the weather has been classed as so favorable this year Is because there have been no cold snaps and nota drop of rain since the harvesting began. A frost at picking time is greatly to be feared.

At this season frosts of greater or less teverity and hard, cold rain storms are likely to occur at any time, and It Is an unusual year when one or the other does not retard the harvest. The man who owns a bog on which there are 3,000 or more crates ot fine berries, ripe and ready to harvest, has anxious moments when ho believes a severe frost is imminent at night. Quick Work Necessary in Time of Frost. It Is not unusual for hlrn to get up at midnight and go prowling around the dark and lonesome marsh to see If the frost is yet descending, and if so, how Bevero It is. Then, if he finds that conditions warrant, there Is a hasty call of men and the gates are opened, flooding the marsh with water to keep the frost from destroying the berries.

Mr. Childs has apparently frightened oft the other big professional growers, for an Industry that In Queens and Nassau counties turns out an annual product of several millions of dollars should have bad more representations. Captain Aaron Ward of Roslyn had in cut flowers department a display of sixty-five varieties of roses for which he took first premium, and Mrs.

Edna Ward took second; Mrs. Charles Oakley of East "Wllllston took first on collection of asters. There was also a fine showing of phlox. There was a fine exhibit of wild flowers from all parts of the county and comprising fully a hundred varieties. Considerable originality was shown in the field of floral designs, including an airship, animals, vases and other forms, and some handsome baskets were also shown.

Miss Stoutenberg of Hollls took first premium on designs. Splendid Fruit and Vegetable Exhibit The policy adopted by the society this year of throwing open the department of fruit to competition from all parts of' the country brought out a splendid Valenciennes lace trim: a night dress with Valenciennes trim, with ribbon Iff 1 wrawmg string, and a novelty apron and corset coyer, all done bv the voune pupils, won high praise.

He worked on this line for about three years, when he had his first setback, and Just as he had been promised a good posi camera In various parts of the two coun ties, the professionals' were barred out entirely.

The growing of cranberries in Rlverhead, Calverton, Manor and Jamesport, all the villages being within a few miles of one another has become a most important Industry, and tho crop Is one to be reckoned with' in the Brooklyn and Manhattan market. Of late the berries compare in quality with the famous Cape Cod product, and for the acreage devoted to It, the yield compares Just as well, also. There are many places along the Peconic River in this place and Just west that make excellent bogs.

Some of the large bogs are located In these places; others are being contemplated, for it Is to be the finest ever shown at the fair. (Special to tho Eagle.) Rlverhead, L.

Tills number, he says, Is greater than at any previous time in tho history of the Jail. For several days past the prisoners have been arriving at the rate of five or six a day.

The reason for the sudden popularity of Sheriff Wells Is unexplained; but It is a fact that the officials would bo just as well pleased If contemplative guests would defer their requests for reservations for a time In fact, tho The meagerness of photographic display Is more than made up by the large num ber of exhibits in the department of paintings and drawings.

Tallman of Nyack was a close second, some or his fruit being superior several points, according to the judging tests. The finest single variety collection and single specimens, however, came from Long Island orchards and vineyards. There were no finer pears, peaches or grapes shown. Walter R. Willets of Roslyn took first and second premiums for the finest collection of pears and grapes, and second for peaches.

Herbert Simonson of Glen Head, who took first on ten varieties of apples, and Harvey C. Craft of Glen Cove, who took first on collection of five varieties, both showed some splendid specimens, the fruit having been regularly sprayed as well as the trees before the fruit formed. The finest varieties of apples shown were from the north side of the county, where are some of the best small orchards in the state. The handsomest specimens were the following: Teck's Pleasant, King of Tompkins County, Fall Pippins, Porters and Baldwins. John J.

The Port Jefferson Echo, of which A. Jay Tefft is proprietor and editor, has changed its form from the old style four-page, nine-column sheet to a seven-column quarto. To do this, a new press of increased capacity aud a folding machine have been Installed. The paper's appearance has been greatly Improved as a result. The Times, also published In Port Jefferson, recently adopted the quarto form, as has the News of Sayville.

Few of the Suffolk County papers now retain the old four-page sheet, and a majority are now made up on the style of city papers regards the use of display type for headings, etc. I. 1 Among the various places he worked In that neighborhood was Glenwood, on the place of Judge Townsend Scudder, then a young lawyer.

Some of the Work Pickering Has Done.

Pickering has progressed from a sailor aboard a merchantman, a post office employee, worker on the railroads, stable boy, gardener's assistant, gardener, coachmaa and general utility man to an amateur photographer with a fifty-cent camera, and thence to a professional photographer, whose work is accepted by most of the daily papers and other publications, and who, in addition to other work, is the official photographer for Nassau County.
