LOOKS BEFORE MERIT.
Importance of Care In Sorting and Mar
keting Garden Crops.

Importance of Care In Sorting and Mar
keting Garden Crops.
1t costs no more to raise good fruits
and vegetables than it does poor. The
expenses of gathering, packing and
shipping and marketing are precisely
the same on the different grades. But
the returns are wonderfully different,
and, we take it, the farmer is in the
business for these very returns. Why
not then get the most out of them?
The only thing which makes the differ.
ence between the good and the poor is
care, but this selfsame care must be
scrupulously exercised from beginning
to end. From the proper preparation
of the ground for the plants right
through to the shipping of the crop,
every detail must be attended to; the
neglect of single one may render all
the others futile. 1t will not pay to
expend all the energy on raising good
crops only to gather and ship them in
slipshod fashion. OF the two evils
it is better to err in the other direc-
tions, for careful sorting and neat
packing will do much towards selling
an Indifferent article, all things being

then by their taste. Looks come before
merit in all cases.
When these are combined, as they
always should be, then the big profits
come in, for fancy ARTICLES bring fancy
prices. Too many farmers fail to real
ize this. They save their labor by fail
ing to assort their crops according to
size and quality, or economize in the
wrong direction, as when they use an
old soiled package, thereby disgusting
would-be purchaser and rendering
him suspicious of the fruit which a
clean new package would have set off
and rendered tempting and attractive.
All such saving, whether of labor or
money, is false economy, and results
In loss to the seller.-N. Y. World.

FISH ATE ElREEllEs.
The Flies Wcrc Alive and Continued to
Furnish Light for the Fish.


A New York doctor was at Lake Den
mark, New Jersey, recently studying
the fauna and fora of that wild and
beautiful section of Morris county.
While strolling around the shallow
shore of the lake one evening, he dis
covered marvellous thing, which made
his blood tingle with the hope that he
was about to add to the chronological
knowledge of the country.
He saw in the clear water near the
shore some bright objects flashing with
phosphorescent fire. The doctor knew
of phosphorescent fish in salt water,
and was aware, also, that nothing of
the kind had ever been noted as in
habiting fresh water. Consequently
he believed that he had discovered a
new species, and he made haste to get
his minnow net and capture one of the
lively little creatures. 1t was no easy
matter to do this, but after trying for
an hour he succeeded in catching two
of the fish in one scoop of the net.
Delighted with his great luck, he
hurried to the house and examined his
prizes by the light of kerosene lamp.
They were each two and three-quarter
inches long, and almost transparent
with a stripe of silvery sheen down
each side from gills to tail. Under the
lamp the phosphorescence could not be
seen, but this did not deter the doctor
from going on with the examination.
He dissected one of the fish carefully,
and then removed the lamp from the
room. There was the pAosphorescent
glow upon the card where he had
placed the viscera of the little fish;
moreover, they seemed to be imbued
with life. Sticking pin through the
center of the glowing sac he brought
the light back, and, opening the sac,
disclosed four or five of the large fire.
flies which abound at the mountain
lake. Two of them were still alive.
The doctors disappointment Was
keen, but he could not refrain from
laughing at the simplicity of the solu-
tion of the matter. The glowing in
sects had been taken in by the lively
little fish as they struggled upon the
surface of the water, and their strong
incandescence shone through the trans
lucent sides of their captors.-N. Y.
Sun.
