Picking Fruit.

Persons having small orchards are not all
aware that fruit picking is an art in its
way, says the Breeder and Sportsman.
Anybody can pick fruit, yet there is a
right and wrong way in doing it, the same
IS in everything else.
There is II thing so disgusting to the ex-
perienced orchardistas to see people, though
innocent of what they are doing, enter an
orchard and stick their thumbs into fruit
until they come to that which is ripe. They
have no idea that they damage more fruit
than they eat Yet that is the case When
ever fruit is bruised, whether on the tree or
not, it spoils the specimen and decay starts
in.
Now, in the first place, persons owning
orchards should be able to tell, from the
looks of the fruit, whether it is ripe or not.
A little experience enables one to acquire
this, and whenever it is necessary to handle
truit with the hand to test its maturenes
catch il in the palm Of the hand, carefully
closing the fingers over and around it, and
pressing it gently in that way you can feel
whether it is hard or soft and judge of its

On gathering pit fruits take hold of them
easily and raise them up with twist of the
wrist, and not grab at them catch-as-catch-

done by inexperienced pickers; and, above
all things, do not drop them into your
basket. Handle them as you would eggs.

Popular Science.

Policemen, mall-carriers and others whose
occupation keeps them their feet great
deal are troubled with chafed, sore and
blistered feet, especially in extremely hot
weather, no matter how comfortably their
shoes may fit. A powder is used in the Ger
man army for sitting into the shoes and
stockings of the foot soldiers, called Fuss
treupulver," and consists of three parts
salicylic acid, ten parts starch and eighty
seven parts pulveriZed soapstone. 1t keeps
the feet dry, prevents chatting and rapidly
heals sore spots. Finely pulverized soap
stone alone is very good.

devised for refining the oil up to value Of
81 a gallon, and the frugal Italians placed
a cask of it at the root of every olive tree
and then defied the borean breath of the
Alps. And then experience showed that
the ton of cotton seed was better fertilizer
and a better stock food when robbed of its
thifty.five gallons of oil than before, that
the bulls of the seeds made the best OF fuel

ashes OF the bulls scooped from the engines

as potash, and that the ''refuse" OF the
whole made the best and purest soaD stock.

will insist upon giving the colts feed of
corn twice a day all winter.
Usually very little grain will be needed
for the calves, especially if they are pro-

Clover hay or millet, with small quantity

meal can be given as a change, as it is not a

Neither of these two classes of stock
should be allowed to stop growing from
birth to maturity, and if care is taken in

growth may readily be made. Some stock
can be weaned much earlier than others,
and this fact must always be considered SO
that they can be kept in good condition
during the winter. 1t is much easier to
keep up good growth than to allow them
to run down and then build up again; so it
is necessary as far as possible to supply
good feed and to give good care in weaving
Young stock at this time.

Cows Love Sweet Potato Vines.

Cows will eat sweet potato vines even if
frosted and smeared with dust or dirt and
after they are frozen. dead and dry.
Sweet potato vines should be shaved off
with a sharp hoe before frost, rolled to the
middles and saved for hay like red clover
or field peas. An acre of sweet potatoes
may furnish SO worth of forage, and often
more. Put the vines in cocks and let them
stand awhile before hauling to the barn. If
the vines, while in windrows, could be
chopped in two every four or five feet with
a sharp cane knife they could be handled
much better. The vines, eight or ten feet
in length and heavy, are difficult to handle

Southern Ladies' to the Front.

One of the most encouraging signs of the
agricultural redemption of the south is the
evidence that comes 10 US of the increased
interest that southern women are taking in
dairylng, says Hoard's DdirVman. There
is no reason in the world why woman of
brains and decision of character, either in
the north or south, should not succeed in
dairying. Indeed, there are many reasons
why they are especially fitted for the work.
1t requires keen perceptions watchful care,
a kind, humane heart, and abundant energy
to succeed with a herd Of COWS. The con-
spicuous failure of so many men In dairy
ing is because they are dull of perception
concerning the laws of motherhood, indif-
ferent to the care and comfort that mother
hood must have if it does its best; inhuman
n their treatment of all bovine mothers, and
azy both mentally and physically. We
have never yet seen woman fail when she
took hold of the management of dairy.
