To Advertisers.
The Cockier ha3 spent large
sums of money in working up its
circulation and to-day it. thorough
ly covers Randolph aud adjoining
counties besides having a large list
throughout this and other states.
But we are working to build u
Randolph county and the Piedmont
section of North Carolina.
To this end we have built our cir
culation, that our advertisers and the
community might secure the greater
publicity. We have impruved
our plant and enlarged our paper :
all of which necessarily increases
expenses.
Hence this article notifying our
advertisers that after March 1st,
1906, the advertising rate is as fol
lows: Per inch one time ; -c

" " two months " " 17c
" " six " and over " " l.'ie
Heading notices will lie charged at the
rate of one cent per word. No reader ac
cepted fnr less than 25c.
All hills parable mouth ly.
Our circulation is not made up
of dead heads and exchanges, but
paying subscribers, who send us the
cash for their subscription. Few
are more than six months in arrears
:nd many are paid in advance.
This shows that we circulate among
a prosperous people the class that
advertisers desire to reach.
The Coueier' appreciates the
patronage accorded it in the past
and pledges every effort to give
value received for future business
placed with it.

Grade and Pack.
Cnre In picking and handling fruit
is of vital importance. Baskets should
be used, but never bags. The apples
after picking should be turned coreful
ly from the baskets into crates holding
a bushel. These should be drawn to
the packing building nud carefully as
sorted, graded and packed. From the
craten on one side, as seen In the illus

The packing table Illustrated herewith Is

canvas or sacking. Each section holds
1V4 bushels of apples. Only a single

and pack Into forty or fifty pound
standard boxes. In packing corrugated
pasteboard caps are used in the boxes
and on both ends of the barrels. The
Illustration of a fifty pound box of
Baldwins handsomely displays the
fruit.
We pack three grades. The A grade
Is the finest, nud every specimen Is
perfect. The B grade Is of the same
quality, but smaller. The O grade,
which is good, but not so perfect, is
packed in barrels. The balance Is evap
orated. Even the skins and cores are
saved and exported.
Five women and three men will work
tip 100 bushels of apples a day. A
bushel of apples will make from five
and three-quarters to seven pounds of
evaporated fruit, according to the Ta
riety. There should be fewer apples
put into barrels and boxes and mors
sent to the evaporator. The apple mar
ket for eastern fruit is unsatisfactory
much of the time for reason of bad
packing. So much Inferior fruit is put
