HAS THE FARMER
TIME TO READ
By r. J. BALDWIN
Michigan Agricultural College.

eVvVVVV~VVVVvVV
When we say I'VE have no time"
to do certain things 1t would be well
to think reasonably long enough to
be sure that the thing being left un-
done is not of more Importance than
the things which keep us from doing
It. It Is true that every business has
its busy season when all surplus en-
ergy is used In the days work and
there is little time and less inclina
ton to read. Especially is this true
on the farm, but there is no business
man who has more valuable material
at his command than the farmer and
no business which is advancing more
rapidly in methods than agriculture.
The only way to keep In touch with
the latest knowledge along mans
line of business is to secure the pub
lications containing the experiences
and knowledge Of other men who are
also working and learning in that
particular line. The physicians, law
yers, engineers and other professional
men each have their journals and so
cieties; the bankers, merchants and
lumbermen each have their means of
distributing latest information; the
farmer has numerous farm papers and
journals, the bulletins of the depart
ment Of agriculture, Washington, D.
c., and the publications Of experiment
stations In every state of the Union.
All these institutions are investigat-
ing farm problems and methods and
every years work brings out new
points which ought to be known and
used by every farmer. Much old in
formation is unknown to some of us
because we have not formed the habit
of reading. Fortunately farmers are
becoming fewer who will not believe
that farming can be learned from
become fewer who insist that they
have not time to read; they will be
left behind in the keener competition
Of production. 1t is not a question
of having time to read, but it is an
undeniable certainty that no man can
afford not to read and keep up with
the best and latest information obtain
able.
The Michigan experiment station
publishes bulletins every few weeks
(from ten to fifteen per year) on the
various phases Of agriculture and
these may be secured regularly when
published by writing to Director
Michigan Experiment Station, East
Lansing, Mich.," and asking that your
name be placed on the mailing list.

Harvesting and Storing Apples.

Practically every farmer with q
small orchard on his farm, desires to
store a few apples for home use dur
ing the winter.
1t is one thing to grow q good crop
of apples and quite another thing to
properly harvest and store a good
crop. There seems to be as much ig.
norance and carelessness In harvest.
ing and storing as in the growing, re.
sulting in an inexcusable amount of
decay and waste of the fruit. A few
pointers, at this time, TO prevent such
waste, are worth considering.
Time to Pack Apples.
II apples are harvested too early,
they are apt to be understood and Of
poor quality. If harvested too late,
they will not keep as long in storage
of good size and quality when picked.
We do not expect a winter apple to be
ripe at harvesting time. 1t should
be full sized, however, well colored
and 1t should separate readily from
the spur. If, when picking the apples,
the stems are pulled out or the spurs
broken, it is too early to harvest that
particular variety.
Method Of Harvesting.
Apples should be handled like eggs.
Any break or rupture in the skin
caused by worms or carelessness in
handling is the starting point for the
various rots and other forms of decay.
No fruit harvested by shaking of
branches or knocking the fruit off with
poles, is worth storing. Hand picking
is absolutely essential. The fruit
should be grasped by the palm Of the
hand that no abrasion may be made
by the finger nails. BY slightly twist
ing the fruit and bending 1t upward, 1t
should separate readily from the spur.
Apples should be placed and not
thrown or let fall into the picking bas-
ket. A careless picker will ruin more
fruit by letting 1t fall into his basket
instead Of carefully placing 1t there
than his services are worth. A great
amount of fruit is also ruined by
barrels. If barrels are used, the bas.
ket should be inserted into the barrel
and carefully inverted that the fruit
may not be injured.
The fruit should then be stored as
soon as possible. Piling the fruit in
the orchard is wasteful practice. The
fruit heats in the piles and ripens
very readily. The aim in storing fruit
is to retard this ripening process that
the fruit may be kept longer. Do not
store fruit that has been piled IN the
orchard for any considerable time
after picking. Get a good spring wag.
on for hauling the fruit into storage.
A springless wagon, especially over
rough roads, will injure the fruit for
storing. II the fruit is packed In tight
boxes or barrels, 1t will store better
than IL open crates are used.
The storage house or cellar should
be we'll ventilated, well drained and
frost proof. A cellar that cannot be
properly ventilated to allow foul air to
escape, cannot keep fruit well. Drain
the cellar SO that II will never be wet
and remove excessive moisture with a
box OF quick lime. In cellars having
cement bottoms and where they are
apt to become too dry and cause the
fruit to shrivel up, supply water.
