A citizen Of Los Angeles, Cal, has

escope, to be used by the Carnegie
Observatory on Mount Wilson. The
glass disk from which the mirror
will be formed has already been or

is expected that about four years will
be spent in making the disk and ar

When to Pick the Fruit.

When to Pick the Fruit.
The fruit consumer and the fruit
grower are usually too far apart.
Too often what is sweet, juicy, lus-
cious fruit IN the orchard and vine
yard of the grower is on the table
of the consumer an overripe, pulpy
or partially decayed product, 1t is
a lamentable fact that many of our
finest fruits are very bad travellers
and present on arrival in town very
unattractive appearance. Many grow
ers do not know the proper time to
pick fruit; that is, the stage OF ma
turity that puts it on the market in
good condition. Very often one sees
fine, large pears and peaches that
are rotting when the packages are
opened because the fruit has been
allowed to get too ripe on the tree
before picking.
Sometimes when the early mar
ket Is slack there is a demand for
immature fruit for cooking purposes.
The first early summer apples may
be protitably picked when they get
big enough for cooking. This will be
while the seeds are white and before
the fruit shows much sign Of color
ing. The market is always looking
forward to the earliest apples. Des-
sert and winter apples should not be
picked until we'll colored. Those
that stay on the trees late are better
favored than those picked early.
Winter apples will usually keep bet
ter II allowed to ripen in the cool
weather of the fall, though by this
waiting there is danger of heavy
windfalls, Apples should not be
separated from the twig by straight
pull, but by q twist upward or side
ways, The ease with which some
fruits separate from the twig by
nip sideways gives a good idea of
maturity, With summer apples two
OF three piekiRgs are generally made,
Pears should always be picked from
the tree before becoming mellow and
be allowed to ripen after storing.
The time at which the first full-sized
fruits begin to fall is the indication
of PROPER picking time. Peaches are
picked for market when they show the
clear or bright colors. They should
not be pinched to test maturity. The
experienced picker has a way of roll
ing the fiat of his hand over the edge
of a peach and the feel means the
same to him as grain in the sack does
to the miller's thumb. Plums can be
picked greener than any other fruit,
With plums size is about all one
needs look for, as the fruit seems to
ripel as well off the tree as on it.
Grapes, on the other hand, should
never be picked from the vine until
fully ripe and sweet, for they will
not develop sugar and ripen after
they are picked / have known I'M
principled growers TO spoil the mar
ket fol- white grapes by shipping Nj
agaras before they had become ripe

With grapes. Cherries are picked
with the stems on as soon as they
are big enough, and they always
have the color with the size. A day,
or even few hours, too long or the
tree may mean the loss of the whole
cherry crop by brown rot, Color is
the shippers test with Strawberries.

Buying Meat and Corn on Credit.

Buying Meat and Corn on Credit.
We feel an interest in every phase
of farm life and conditions and high
prices are to our advantage we
manage well. but our sympathy GER
tainly goes out to the farmer who has
to buy corn and meat on a credit at
the prevailing high prices. It is an
old saying "a pound OF cotton for
pound Of meat" but at twelve and a
half cents to fifteen cents as many
will have to pay, the meat keeps
ahead Of cotton. in value. Then
think of poor man toiling to make
money to buy corn at 81 per bushel,
when, If he would but learn he could
grow It for twenty cents. It is GER
tainly sad comment upon our be-
nighted condition--our slavery to an
unwise system. Many are breaking
away from this old one-crop system
but we must keep preaching against
and working until at least a great
majority are raising their own sup
plies. Friends. Il any Of you are buy
