WHEN TO PICK EARLY FRUITS.

Early apples and pears are now ripen-
ing, and where there is Il surplus they
should be attended to before they are
too ripe. In nearby market these
fruits if properly handled can be disposed
of at n profit. For marketing the fruit
should be matured, /. T., full grown when
gathered, but should not have had time
to become mellow. When an apple or
pear is mature it readily parts from the
tree. If lifted to a horizontal position
the stem of the fruit will break away
from the twig to which it is attached.
With fruit maturity is distinct stage,
and ripeness or mellowness another.
Early fruit generally if picked when ma
ture will be ripe and mellow by the time
it reaches the consumer. Fruit picked at
the right time and ripened off the tree
is much better than if allowed to remain
on the tree until 'dead ripe" When
picked in the latter condition it is rotten
when it reaches the consumer, and will
not sell near as we'll. This is especially
true Vi pears IHls lrult' IL ihociuc"
only for home use is much superior in
flavor and quality if it is picked when
mature and ripened in the house. All
fruit sent to market should be carefully
assorted. Early fruits decay early, and
in managing them it is best to study the
matter carefully and present them to
buyers in the best shape possible. Early
apples and pears will not find so sharp
competition from peaches this year as
common, and it will pay to look after
and put them in market in good shape.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

In canning tomatoes, if you wish them
to keep, as of course you do, reject every
lumpy or solid portion. Then, by using
the same care as with fruit, your toma-
toes will keep equally as well.
DO you know how much nicer toma-
toes for the table are when peeled with a
sharp knife than when the skins are
loosened by pouring boiling water on
them? They are very much nicer when
kept on ice till they are needed for the
table, also

TWO FARMERS.

Two farmers we know. own their farms
which Join. one farm contains fifty
acres the other one hundred and ten. The
farms are in New England. Farmer \.
with his fifty acres has time to 20 to
church. to the picnic and grange. Time
and again. while out riding with his fam
lily. he passes by Farmer b. tOiling in
the field with never thought for any
thing but labor. Farmer As wife has a
horse of her own. which she can drive as
she likes. The boys and girls have
books and magazines and the time to
read them. Mrs. b. has to beg for days
for a horse, and then must take the old
mare that can only be induced to hasten
out of her slow walk by a thorough ap-
plication of the stick. Every rod of the
smaller farm does its work. Manure is
a respected friend. The crops raised are
those that sell for cash. The soil does
not run out because the farmer makes Il
business of keeping it up. On the larger
farm there are weedy pastures. The ma
nure is put into small strips of the best
land. The grass is never fortified.
The soil is expected to make up in area
what it lacks in quality. Farmer b..
makes money, for he never spends any.
He looks across at his neighhor and
sneers. Do these extra horses, these
books and papers pay: Not a cent in
cash. Farmer \. puts it like this ::
"Neighbor B's idea of true profit is diff
ferent from mine-that'S all. He wants

part of mine in comfort. can't spend
my money to better advantage than in

THE OlEOMARGARINE BILL.

The following. from IIoard's Dairy
man, an influential Western journal. con-
firms the opinion we have heretofore eX-
pressed, that the oleomargarine law as it
stands is all that is required to put an
end to the trade in bogus butter:
The bill as amended by the Senate,
reducing the tax to two cents per pound,
and making some other slight amend
ments, was finally accepted by the House
and goes to the President for signature.
In expressing our doubts and fears
very briefly last week, about the value
of the law, emaSculated "a we feared it
might be- it was not because of the low
ering of the tax altogether, we deplored
so much, as the other amendments that
we did not know the scope of that would
weaken the efficiency of its execution.
While we sgree with Senator Edmunds
that we would she glad to tax out OF
existence all cheats, frauds, humbugs
and liars, and oleomargarine is one of
them we have been aware, knowing
the cheapness with which the stuff can
be made, and the price to which butter
goes during some portions of every year,
that not even ten cent tax would tax il
to death. This being the fact, the
change in the amount of tax we look up
on as only an incident in the fight, TO
getting the vital principle of government,
tai supervision over the factories, and
over its direct sales, safely incorporated
in the law. Let that be done,and the whole
machinery of the law be known and exc
cuted, as is the law in regard to whis-
key now, then those who are now ex'
posed to be swindled and their stomach,
