How the Lemon Is Cured.

All lemon-cErinS structures have
either double walls filled between with
sawdust like icehouses-or heavy,
thick walls of cement, and are dark
within, with abundance OF cool air
constantly circulating about the fruit.
There are ventilators in the floor and
through the roof, aud nearly every
grower has some patent or device of
his own for creating draft Of air in
the curing houses. When the fruit
has been taken to the curing houses,
1t Is gone over more carefully, and
four grades are selected, varying from
the smooth-skinned. unblemished and
perfect-sized fruit down to that which
has rough, thick skin and is blem-
lshed. The lemons are washed and
soft brushes remove any weather
stains. Then, when they are dried.
they are placed with care in alright
and padded boxes. SO as to "sweat"
for few days. When that process is
over they are taken out, dried by
hand, and with careful handling are
placed on trays a yard wide, two
inches deep and having bottoms of
Stats SO as to permit easy circulation
of air. These trays are slid into great
racks in the cellars of the curing
house, where constant temperature
OF 60 degrees aud darkness are MAIN
tained. Several packing houses in San
Diego County. California, will each
accommodate 5000 boxes at once.
In three or four weeks the fruit bas
turned yellow, and is ready for pack
ing for market. But every other day
in the curing period the 81 successful
grower goes over all his lemons, and
by the light Of lamp sees that each
particular one is curing SO that it re-
tains its citric oil, that its skin is soft
and pliable, and that it is hard and
firms for such properties make lemons
the best "keepers' until they get to
the consumer, weeks or months hence.
All fruit TINT shows the least signs Of
decay is cast aside at once. 1t is com
parative(y easy to grow and cure lem
ons that may be rushed 10 market MS
soon as the curing process is finished
but only patience and experience cure

and guests, the venerable Judge Wat

professional career.
