Time For Apple Picking.

There is much value in knowing when
to pick an apple. The future usefulness
Of the apple depends great deal on this,
whether tits to be kept or used at once,
There are three periods at which an ap-
pie may be picked-before maturity, at
maturity or when tits fully ripe on the
tree. Our best horticulturists tell us
that the maturity and ripeness OF an ap-
pie are not the same, At least these
words do not mean the same when used
technically by experienced apple grow
ers, A mature apple is one that has at
tanned its full size and whose seeds are
black. An apple is not ripe till ii has
attained its proper color, its desired mel.
lOwness and has reached the point where
its favor is at the best.
When then should an apple be picked,
before maturity, at maturity or when it
is ripe? 1t is quite generally agreed
that the best time to pick an apple is at
maturity, unless it is to be eaten at once,
In that case the apple should be left on
the tree till it is not only mature but
ripe. And here is where the family
orchardist finds the advantage to his
family He can pick his fruit fresh
from tine tree at just the point where it
is most luscious, when it has the most
flavor and full quantity of juice. No
matter how we'll favored an apple may
be month after picking, it l0oses its
supply of of juice continually after pick.
ing, for evaporation isgoing on aud there
is no way of supplying the deficiency.
But for packing or for storing an ap-
pie should be picked at maturity, at
which time it will begin its ripening
process If picked before that time the
ripening process Won't 20 on, for that can't
begin till the apple has matured, and If
it never natures it does not ripen. The
apple picked before maturity remains Of
the same color and does not improve in
in favor. Its texture becomes rubbery
and as the moisture in it evaporates, it
shrinks. Who has not been disappoint-
ed when biting into such an apple to
hLd not the delicious flavor expected
but yiuegary Juice that is anything but
pleasant? The city buyer of apples has
this experience frequently. If on the
other hand an apple is allowed to hang
on the tree beyond the maturity time
and till it is fully ripe it generally proves
to be poor keeper. This is especially
true of the summer or fall varieties
The Grimes Golden, if allowed to ripen
on the tree, will keep but few weeks
after picking. But if it is picked al
maturity it will keep for months under
proper conditions. This is the reason
why so many Grimes Goldens prove tc
very poor keepers-tuey have been al
lowed to hang too long on the tree after
the time at which it was possible to pick
them.
Some varieties, such as the Ben Davis
need to be left on the tree as long al
possible. These are all winter apples
and take iong season to mature. Thr
Ben Davis takes all the time it can ge
to mature on the tree, and after lht
ripeniug process goes on for some weeks
There is little danger of picking thi
variety and Willow Twig too late, pro
vided frosts are not imminent Tn,

The Statehood Issue.
Boston Herald

Boston Herald
Senator Quay is reported as taking the
position that while "stand pat" will do
for the tariff and possibly the currency,
the statehood fight must be revived, aud
he announces that he will do everything
in his power to urge the acceptance to
statehood of Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona In this matter Quay is moved
by no patriotic feelings that it will be
for the benefit of the nation to admit
these territories as States, but solely be
cause he has personal interest in the
matter. 1t is reported from Washington
that the Republican managers may be
willing to pass statehood bills if Arizona
and New Mexico are consolidated into a
single State. move which we believe
would not be favored by the majority of
the residents in either Territory. En-
tirely aside from the justice of the claim
of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood,
and we do not question that, il the for
mer we're considered safely Republican,
it would have already been admitted,
there can be no denying that, from
every point Of view, both as regards the
total number and the condition Of the
citizens, Oklahoma is entitled to state
hood; in fact, better entitled TO such ad-
mission to the Union than were many OF
the States previously accepted, 4

Most OF the hubbbu about marital

that there is nothing so noble in all the
