-Too many farmers get less good
than they might from their pear or
chards, because they allow the iruit to
ripcn on the trees as they would apples.
Few pears will be at their best If treated
thus. Plucked when fully grown. and
kept in warm or cool room rs their
ripening is desired to be FASTENED or
retarded. the color aud flavor of the
fruit will be much better than It would
be If allowed to remain on the tree
Some of the best sorts rot at the core ii
left on the tree III I'll the fruit begins to
turn.-M J. Tribune.
