WHEN MELONS ARE RIPE.
Some Tests Which You Can Try Next
Year.

Muskmelons or cantaloupes are at
their best only when ripened In the
natural way on good, healthy vines.
] do not think melon ripened any
other way can be either wholesome
Or healthful, yet I presume great
many are eaten that are not ripened
that way, says writer in Farm and
Home. At least we see hundreds
Of crates In the markets obviously
picked green with stems hanging to
them like pigtails. A mpskmelon
picked with its stem attached has not
fipened properly and never will.
A genuine ripe muskmelon 10 one
that has left the vine perfectly free
from the stem, and it should leave at
the least pluck or pull. A muskmelon
picked in any other way is not ripe.
We cannot tell ripe watermelon
until it is plugged or cut open. 1t 10
simply matter Of judgment. Even
experienced growers are deceived
sometimes, especially when they first
begin to ripen. There are two or
three signs to Judge by when we ex'
pect them to be ripe. Some think that
when the first curl or tendril next
the melon is dead is a good sign.
Varieties differ in this respect. Others
!eontend that when they crack with
little pressure they are ripe. This 10
not good process to use If the mel
ons are to be shipped or kept a few
days.
The best sign is by the sound. II
the melon, when tapped with thumb
or hand, gives dull thud-l1ke sound
It is ripe. As the dark1es say: If dey
goes co-plunk dey's ripe, but If dey
does co-plank dey aint." The other
signs may or may not then be in evi-
dence, but they usually are. The stem
of the watermelon retains it's hold
as firmly when ripe as at any other
time.

A Simple Matter to Propagate Them
If Done Right.

I find it very simple matter to

propagated by means of cuttings made

Judd Farmer, but preferably before
cold weather comes on.
