An Apple Growing Experiment.

Mr.. Asa s. Curtis, of Stratford, Conn,
has tried an experiment in apple grow
Ing the result Of which will be of inter-
sst to all those who raise apples for their
own use Or for the market. Having an
richard which produced fruit only every
other year, and hearing that the trees
could be made to change their bearing
season 80 that every year might be fruit
ful, he selected healthy young apple
tree eight years ago, and for four sue
cessive bearing seasons carefully rubbed
off every bud as fast as it appeared.
For the first three seasons this made no
apparent difference, the tree emitting
all blossoms the next season, but putting
outfits blooms again on the regular year.
Last year Mr.. Curtis repeated the ex :
pertinent for the fourth time, and this
season the tree appears to have given up
its old habit and to have concluded TO
.et its owner have his own way, for it is
in full bloom at last in the "off season. :"
If a part Of the trees OF an orchard can
thus be made to bear one year and the
others the next, there need be no of
year" at all for the apple crop so far as
the bearing habits of the trees are con-
cerned, and this fact is worth the atten-
ton of apple raisers. Hartford (Conn.)

How TO Tell Ripe Melons.

The rinds of melons, when left on the
vines to mature, generally become hard
and the pulp Brittle. If the melon be
gently borne on and you hear the inside
crack or give way it may be regarded as
a sure sign that the melon matured on
the vine and consequently is good one.
Another good plan for selecting melon
is to examine the side that lay on the
ground. If the melon remained on the
vine until properly matured this portion
will be found to have changed from q
white to pale yellow, and, upon close
examination numerous small plmpes,
somewhat like the measles, as it were,
will be noticed on the surface, particu-
larry on the outer edge. These pimples
may be regarded as a sure indication
that the melon remained on the vine I'M
til mature, as they never apnear on those
that have been prematurely pulled
Sometimes the desirable pale yellow is
produced prematurely by turning this
portion of the melon to the sun for a
day or two. In this case the yellow is
apt to be too deep. This fact, in con-
nection with the absence of pimples,
will readily tell the experienced eye how
said color was produced.-W Washington

Bluning a Boy.

A Detroit physician who had business
ON Woodbridge street yesterday had his
attention called to boy about twelve
years Of age who had picked up crack
ed watermelon from commission house
and was eating it in the alley.
"Boy, that melon isn't ripe" warned
the doctor.
IT didn't say it was," was the blunt
reply.
'sAnd it's sour"
"Well, kin sweeten her, I guess"
"Ycl look out for the cholera NOR
busl"
1--WE had 'er, and the smallpox, too.
"See here, boy, said the doctor, think
ing to make last appeal, eff you eat
that melon you'll be dead inside Of twen-
ty-for hours"
"And you look-a-herep replied the
boy, as he cut off another slice with a
piece of iron hoop, "you may chin and
talk and scare all you want to, but Pm
no kidd know what yer want, but yer
can't have it! You kin take this melon
home for fifteen cents in cash, but yer
can't scare me into letting it go for
nothingl You'd better buy your melons
in the regular way and save yer chin for
next years campaign. "-DetroH Fret

AT St. Thomas, Canada, a traveller
entered the dining-room and sat down
with bis hat on. As he was about to
attack the viands the head waiter asked
him to take off his hat, and as he de-
clined to do it the landlord was sum-
moned. That parsonage seized the hat
and threw it out of doors. Thereat the
guest arose just as a waiter was passing
with tray freighted with somebody's
dinner He gave the tray kick that
sent the dishes flying toward the ceiling.
The waiter seized the guest by the collar,
and the guest seized the waiter by the
throat, and the landlord and the waiter
knocked the guest over on the dinner
table. The table was upset, and there
was crash. and the guest ran out to
the nearest lawyers office and entered a
suit for the value of his hat.-N. ]. Sun.
