SHIPPING WATERMELONS.
Picking and Loading In Cnrs-Hints
to Commercial Growers

y south Texas truck grower has
given this advice Oil picking and ship
ping watermclons:
The proper condition for picking is
when not quite ripe enough for good
eating at the time. 1t is easy to tell
ripe melon, but more difficult to
know just when it should he picked
for shipment, An expert can tell by
humping them. Also see that the curl
near the stem of the melon is dead and
if the bottom of the melon is of proper
Wilderness.
Tie melons should never be pressed
on with the hand to test them, as this
Injuries their ripening. In very early
picking several melons should be cut
as samples to test the accuracy of APP
pearances. The stem of melons should
be clipped with "A knife and left on the
fruit.
In loading there should be three men
with each wagon. one to select. clip
and place the melons and the others to
load the wagon. The bottom of the
wagon should be bedded with dry
straw or hay. and care should be used
to prevent injury to melons from the
sides and ends OF the wagon. The car
also should be well bedded before load
ing.
When three or four rows of the first
layer of melons have been placed in
one end Of the ear. the second layer
should then be commenced not by
placing melons against the end of the
car, but by placing them in hollow
spaces made by four Of the first layer
and 50 on with The other tiers or layers.
This will cause the load Of melons to
slope from each end OF the car. This
space can be filled up when the upper
layer of the load is placed on if neces-
Sary.
Loading should progress from each
end ut the same time and finish in the
center of the car. and boards or Stats
should be nailed on the ear to prevent
the melons from resting against the
ear doors
Each ear should contain melons of
the same size and variety as far as pos
sible. When this cannot be done. then
different sizes and varieties may be
separated in opposite ends of the car.
The little fiction or fraud so common
of placing the largest melons on the
top layer of the load deceiyes no one
and is hardly permissible or honorable.

Feed tine young ducks five times per
day. Keep them in dry quarters out of
the hot sun and supply water in limited
quantity in shallow dishes so as to pre-
vent them ducking into it.
After three or four weeks reduce the
rations to four per diem AS the duck
lings grow the rations may be added to
by house waste, ground bone, beef
scraps or cooked meat. Small pieces of
charcoal are aids to digestion.
TO fatten feed on ground grain, meal,
beef scraps, etc, made into a mash.
Barley meal is excellent in the soft
food. Nothing should be fed that will
give the flesh bad flavor.-A. G. Gil
