PICK MELONS FOR SHIPMENT
To Reach Market In Firm Condition
and Retain Flavor Is Excellent
Trait for Farmer.
(By JOHN ". LLOYD3

CBy JOHN w LLOYD1
There Is considerable difference Of
opinion as to the exact stage OF ma.
turity at which melons should be
picked for shipment. II allowed to be-
come too ripe before picking. they
become soft by the time they have
reached the market, and often must
be sacrificed in order to effect an Inn
mediate sale.
II picked too green, the melons
reach the market In firm condition but
are lacking in favor, and not desired
by the best trade. 1t is a nice point
10 pick melons at such a degree Of
ripeness that they will reach the mar
Set in firm condition. and yet possess
the requisite flavor,
The rapidity of softening after pick
ing varies with the temperature to
which the melons are subjected. The
cooler they can be kept after picking,
the longer they can be allowed to re-
main on the vines and the better flavor
they VIII have, 1t is, therefore, essen
Hal that the melons be placed in the
shade as soon as possible after pick.
ing. and be kept shaded until they are
loaded into the car,
For the same reason, riper melons
can be shipped under refrigeration
than in ventilated cars.
The condition of the vines and the
rapidity OF ripening of the melons in
the field will also have a bearing upon
the stage Of maturity at which they
should be picked.
While it is true that no rule can be
given for picking melons that will APP
ply under all conditions, and that the
grower must exercise judgment in
reference to each days picking. the
ideal will be attained when the condi.
lions are such that the melons will
reach the market in the best condition
II picked as soon as the fruit will part
readily from the stem when the latter
is pressed with the thumb and finger
There is a tendency among growers
to pick considerably before this point
has been reached. In order to run no
risk of the melons becoming soft in
transit.
That proper grading results in the
securing of better prices than indis.
criminate packing is evidenced by the
experience Of certain growers who
have departed from the usual custom,
and practise regular system of grad.
ing whereby three distinct grades of
marketable melons are made, and
shipped under three different brands

LOOKING Back.

You will find. as you look back upon
your life. that the moments that stand
out-the moments when you have real
ly llved-are the moments when you
have done things in a spirit Of love.
AS memory scans the past. above and
beyond all the transitory pleasures Of
life there leap forward those supreme
hours when you have been enabled to
do unnoticed kindnesses to those
round about you. things too trifling to

The Best kiteHier In Town.

Some years ago there died in Ne. braska a man named Walsh, who, as a boy, started a suspension bridge. When Walsh was about ten years oltl the first steps for the construction of the suspension bridge at Niagara were taken. The first thing necessary was the stretching Of single wire across the chasm. Tl.e engineer in charge had thought of way to get it across.
 What boy is the best kitefier in town:'' he asked
 The Walsh boy was na1and as the best kitefier in tile town of Niagara Falls, ard the engineer accordingly asked that lle be brought to him. He was made to understand that he must fly his kite across the Niagara river. He flew it across and allowed it to come down on the other side. NIeE we're there to seize 1t. Then the en- giHeer attached a wire to the string on his side. anG the men on the other side detached the kite and by means of the string drew the wire across. By this, in turn, cable was drawn across, and the bridge was well begun.-Har- per's Weekly

AntiSuateS Customs,

There is no court in Europe more tenacious of it's etiquette-which was inaugurated several hundreds of years ago-than that Of Spain. It is said that King Ferdinand VII. once made a minister resign because he had ac- cidentally touched bis hand. One ot the Quaintest ceremonies is the closing of the royal palace gates at Madrid every night. Electric light has been in use in the palace for quite a long while, but nevertheless every evening at II o'clock the officiating gentleman in waiting appears, accompanied by several servants, who carry ancient lanterns, to demand huge key from higher official to lock the doors ot the palace. This Is all the more anus ing as the huge key does not fit the modern keyholes. The key is then re turned to third official, and every night gentlemen in waiting have tC patrol the corridors of the palace though sufficient guards are about, tc watch over the slumbers of their royal master.
