THE MUsKMELoN CROP.
Proper Grading ana Packing Add
Very Much to the Profit to BE
Derived from 1t.

To know just when to pick musk
melon is matter of judgment, ac-
quired only by a practical acquaint-
ance with melons. Each variety has
its characteristic coloring when ripe.
The stem end colors and softens
first. This part furnishes the signal
for picking. The melon must be
picked before it has softened at this
critical point. It is not less impor-
tant to grade melons than peaches
or apples, and no progressive fruit
grower dreams of marketing these
fruits without grading them. Grad

THE FARMERS CLOTHES.
They should BE Neat and We'll Flt-
ting and Worn with the Man
ners of a Gentleman.

In this day of agricultural colleges
and agricultural journalism, ready ac-
cess to high-class literature, tele-
phones, free delivery of mail and elec-
trio railways, when the farmer is no
longer isolated and uneducated, but q.
man learned in the sciences, in art ana
literature, and embracing in his Voca-
ton the best that is in botany, chem
istry, geology and natural philosophy
the contempt sometimes shown the
countryman certainly proves thai
there is sonnet thing out of joint.
The cause of this attitude must lie
in the oddness of wearing apparel or
general carelessness or utter dasre-
gard of personal appearance displayed
by many a farmer when he visits the
metropolitan center. 1t is not expen-
sive clothing that marks a we'll
dressed man, be he from country or
city, but care, neatness and cleanliness
and avoiding of oddly in personal APP
pearance. There are no successful
farmers who cannot afford to wear
as good clothes as nine-tenths of the
city men.
The average farmer cannot follow
all the latest styles, put he need not be
aslouchy, gawking specimen of human
ity, bringing down contempt not only
on himself, but on farmers as class.
1t is hard for farmer to appear any
thing but farmer. do the best he can,
but this fact need not worry him any
if he will only strive to bring his call
ing to the point where it will be recog-
nized as it is. When he is at work on
his farm, when he goes to the home
village OF town market, and when he
hauls his produce along the highway
no matter how he is dressed, the farm
er is not looked upon with disfavor by
any well-bred persons; he is then mere
ly at work and is respected by those,
with whom he comes in contact the
same as any other good honest work
ingman is; but when he lays aside his.

city on business or pleasure it is IN

ton and to his fellow men to present
as good an appearance as his means
will admit. If he is to be respected by

estimating him, meeting him but cas-
ually as they do, than by his personal
appearance and manner, he must pay
some attention to attire, cleanliness
and manners. He must not neglect
those little courtesies that mark prop
er consideration of others. and that
belong to the well-bred man. He must
not be odd, nor rude, nor uncouth.
Good clothes and good manners will
obliterate self-consciousnes which
makes one awkward and i'll at ease in
the presence of others, and will de-
velop that proper amount of self
esteem which makes man scorn to be
odd or untidy or uncouth, and which
will enable him to easily adapt him
self with quiet imperturbed demeanor
to his surroundings. however polished
and cultured. 1t is easier to say this
than to do it, but like all character
development it must be worked for
with the hardest of effort and most
constant practice. G. Allshouse, in

THE Usage ORANGE.
1t Furnishes Excellent Timber for
Posts, Railroad Ties and Pur-
poses of Like Nature.

Usage orange is undoubtedly the
very test timber for posts, wagon
timber, railroad ties and for all pur-
poses where the timber is exposed
to the weather.
The sap of this remarkable timber
is an oily caoutchouc, which renders
the wood impervious to liquids and
gases and not readily affected by ex-
posture to air, acids and alkalies.

first year from seed and could not

fine everlasting fence posts. In eight
or ten years they make railroad ties.

cut it off and another tree will
sprout from the stump and make a
straight sprout of 20 to rs feet high
