RIPE AND uNRIpr BANANAS.
Those Allowed to Ripen on Tree Are No

Those Allowed to Ripen on Tree Are Not
the Best Favored.
Whether for shipment or for homo
consumption the banana is cut as soon
as it is ''full''-that is, when 1t has
reached its adult form and size, but is
still quite green. The plant is cut off
by a single blow of machete welded
by a powerful arm. As it falls the
bunch is caught, Topped off and laid
aside, while the harvester goes ON to
the next bunch. 1t is popular SUPPOSE
ton that bananas 'ripened ON the tree"
are incomparably superior to those cut
green. But, as a matter of fact, one
never eats them thus ripened in Jamal-
ca They are said to be not so good At
all events one finds no better fruit in
texture and flavor than the best of our
own markets. But every lover of this
fruit knows that its quality varies ex
traordinarily as It is offered to us. This
is due partly to the different sources
from which it comes
The best that is brought to us comes
from Jamaica 1t is also due still more
to the condition of the fruit when cut.
Bananas which are perfectly full will
ripen mellow and delicious, but those
cut when immature, as too many are,
will turn yellow, yet never truly ripen,
retaining always their hard texture and
unripe taste In Jamaica, as elsewhere,
the competition of buyers leads the I'M
scrupulous ones to accept fruit of any
sort, even when totally unfit, and this
sort of competition makes all the more
unavailing the efforts of honest buyers
to raise the standard and to teach the
people to withhold their fruit until it
is properly developed. Americans can
give more moral support to these efforts
by accepting only such fruit as is ma
ture at any price, A little pains will
/ soon enable one to distinguish good
! from poor fruit, though it is difficult to
i give a general statement of the distinc-
/ tive differences. But, as a rule, it will
/ be found that bananas which are lar
gest deepest yellow and least angular
are the most mature and best -Popu-

why They Are Painted Signs to Repre-
sent the Hour of $40.
1 saw in a newspaper a statement
that the hands of dummy or sign clocks
generally indicate 10 minutes past
O'Clock, because at that minute and
hour Abraham Lincoln died This il
an error, for history tells us that the
martyr president died at 1893 in the
morning, fact which can easily be as
certained
Some time since the editor of The
Literary Digest asked our opinion why
these clocks were thus painted, and oul
answer was printed in that journal II
seems that dummy clocks or watches in
dictate o'clock and 1915 minutes be-
cause that is the position on the dial
where time can be shown, the hands be-
ing on opposite sides and making a per
feet angle, and also being equally dis
tant by minute marks or degrees from
the figures 10, taking these as a starting
point We admit, though, that the
hands can be reversed indicating 8
o'clock 41 11minutes.
There is but one other place ON the
dial where the time would be correct
and show the hands equally distant
from the figures H. That is at 1871
minutes past o'clock or, with the
hour and minute hands reversed, but
this would not be so desirable, as the
hands would be almost directly at right
angles across the face Of the dial. This
can be easily tested by any one with his
watch.
1t must be remembered that while
the minute hand makes the circuit OF
the dial of go minute degrees the hour
hand moves but five minute degrees.
Therefore the movement of the hour
hand one minute degree necessitates the
movement of the minute hand 2 min

QUEER PHYSICAL PHENOMENON.

Friend In Graveyard.

next station Miss b., who did not
know Mr. Tate personally, at once look

remarked that instead of going into the
church, as / had thought was his inten-

Where the breeder of fine pigs has a
dairy he should plan to have his COWS
calve at such time as to be able to sup
ply liberal quantity Of milk to his
pigs before and after weaving. By be-
ginning early with warm milk the little
fellows will learn to drink when only a
couple Of weeks old, and if the feeding
is liberal they will make far less drain
upon the dam than if they are forced to
look to her entirely for sustenance.
Weaving time comes on easily with the
pigs growing rapidly. Pigs properly fed
with milk fill the eye of the buyer and
open his pocketbook easily. Those who
are planning for exhibits at fairs can
not afford to ignore milk as an adjunct
in the preparation of their stock for ex-
hibition.
But there is another use for milk to
which it is rarely put. l refer to the
feeding of milk to foals We all con-
cede the value of cows milk for pigs,
for calves and for human beings, but
for some reason it strikes us as odd to
think of feeding it to colts. have
talked with a number of horsemen who
have at times given milk to colts, and
all spoke highly of the practice. Last
summer while at Palo Alto, the great
Leland Stanford horse farm, l was told
that occasionally milk was used for colt
feeding there. Beautiful Bells last
colt had been given some milk, though
the amount was not large, owing to lack
of supply. The managers expressed
themselves very favorably to milk feed
ing, especially where colt was little
out of order or not making as thrifty a
growth as was desired. Any colt will
soon learn to drink milk and become as
greedy for it as a calf or pig.
In this communication have endeav'
ored to treat the subject from the side
of the breeder of fine stock. We all
know that milk as a waste product Is
satisfactory for calves and pigs that &c
/. to the s1anbles. l believe that there /:
a higher use for it ON many farms where
we wish to push animals ahead IN build
ing up fine bone and muscle and put
ting them in first class condition fol
sale and exhibition. TODD this we mus
get over the notion that skimmilk OF
buttermilk is simply swill to be dis
posed of in the most direct manner pos
sible by means of dirty swill barrel:
and dirty troughs. Let the milk, wheth
en- full milk, skimmilk or butter
milk, be regarded as the choicest prod
uct on the farm and dealt out generous
" in a clearly manner to animals tina
will pay large returns for it, The breed
er of fine stock who uses milk properly
will come to appreciate it highly anC
regard it as a great aid in increasing
the reputation of his stock for high quail
ity.-W. A. Henry in Breeder Gazette

Reasons why Cows should Be Dehorned.


There are two facts which should have
great weight in settling this question
of dehorning. First, no owner of a
herd of cattle can tell of an instance
wherein horns on domestic animals have
been productive of any good either to
themselves or their owners; second.
nearly every owner of COWS or other an
imals of the bovine race has suffered
more or less damage financially, and IN
many cases great bodily injury, from
the horns of vicious animals.
The evil resulting from horns on cat
tie so far outweighing any good from
their possession it seems should fully
Justify their removal. Admitting that
the operation causes no little suffering
on the part of the animals for mo-
ment, it removes a constant menace e4
danger and injury. Selected
