About Pears.

Editor Roswell Record:-A word
should be said to all people who buy
and use pears as to the best manner
of treating this noble fruit. Not five
persons in a thousand seem to know
that pears differ from all other fruits
in this respect-that they should new
er be allowed to ripen on h tree
Peaches, plums, apricots, cherries,
etc, are far better when left on the
tree until fully colored. Pears are ru-
med when so treated. They should
be gathered when fully grown, Or a
few days before, and stored in some
dark place in a confined atmosphere.
In from one to two weeks they will
be fully colored, and more or less sof-
tened for use, and will be full of all
the rich refined flavor and sparkling
Juice of which the variety is capa-
BILE. To allow a pear to fully color
on the tree is to sacrifice all of it's
delicate delicious qualities.
This is true of all varieties in all
countries and climates. Some varie-
ties become entirely worthless when
so treated-as the Clapp's Favorite,
Flemish Beauty, and Howell. They
decay at the core when left to color
on the tree, and become the most de
luSive Of all fruits-mere shells OF
beauty holding a body of decay. The
Bartlett. Duchess Inc Rutter will en-
lure this kind of ripeneing, and not
rot at the core; but they will never
have the rich fine flavor that be-
longs to the variety.
The Bartlett is the great market
Dear of the world-as a pea for the
fruit stand or the dinner table; and
our New Mexico climate and soil
produces the finest Bartletts for eat
ing quality that are grown in the
world. They are incomparably better
than California ever grew. But for
canning, preserving, or any other
form of putting up" it is the poorest
lid 10 SSHSI ally SioWA. ne pSCul-
lar musky flavor which, mingling with
the acid and sugar and aromatic qua
lities of the Bartlett. makes it the
most satisfying table pear for most
tastes, is accentuated in preserving
it, with a loss of the higher qualities.
inc it is at best but a second rate
preserving pear. For this purpose
the Seckel, Howell, Duchess and Rut-
ter are the finest pears that are
grown. But for any of these purposes
or with any of these varieties, it is
a grave mistake TO let the fruit ma
ture to softening on the tree. Have
your pears gathered while they are
still hard as winter apples. Keep
them in tight boxes until colored full
ly. when they are ready for the Ia
BILE or kitchen, and they will be a
delight to the eye-and the mouth.
Yours for the best of all fruits.

The Artesia Advocate man is this
week covered all over with sore spots
But he can't be blamed. When a man
attempts to thwart the will of the par
ty of his county as he did at the Las
Vegas Convention, and receives such
a singing rebuke at the hands of the
Territorial Democracy it is little won
der he is sore. And at the bottom Of
that funny little protesting telegram
he sem to Las Vegas, was a little real
estate deal. 1t doesn't pay to mix per
sonal spite and real estate deals in
politics. Our friend down the val
ley will feel better when the sores
heal but the Democrats of the Teri
tory will always remember the little
trick he tried to play to prevent an
Eddy county man from casting the

will of the Eddy county Democracy.

Los Gatos Board of Trade Says Gar

Glory at st. LOuiS


SAN JOSE. July 27.-The Los Gatos
Board of Trade objects to San Jose
claiming the lions share of advertising
at the Santa Clara County exhibit al
the ST. Louis worlds fair. Monday
night the Los Gatos Board of Trade
passed a resolution protesting against
San Jose appropriating the whole
credit for the county exhibit at the fair
and demanded the removal of the bic
inscription, San jose" from such ex-
hibit In case this city refuses to re-
move the sign the Los Cations demand
that the $1,000 received from the county
for the fair exhibit be returned to the
Supervisors.
Los Gatos people maintain that the
whole of Santa Clara County contrib
uted the exhibits and funds to make
the display, and not San Jose alone.
and that the attempt of this city to
appropriate the credit is unjust to all
other portions of the county
A division of the $4,000 annually ap-
propriated by the Supervisors for ad-
vertising the county is also demanded
by the Los Gatos Board of Trade.
Heretofore this sum in the whole has
been given to the San Jose Chamber of
Commerce. This they claim is county
funds, and should be divided equally
among the various Improvement clubs
and boards of trade in the county
Whether the San Jose Chamber of
Commerce will remove the sign San
Jose" from the worlds fair exhibit is
not known, but much interest attaches
to the controversy between the two
towns.
