When to Pick Cantaloups

Cantaloups should be picked
carefully at least once every day.
and twice every day will be better
after they have started to ripen. For
local markets where the fruit is sold
the day following harvesting they
should be picked after the stem will
slip and before they have turned
yellow, and only the perfect speci-
mems should be packed. If some
have got too ripe and have turned
much yellow they should either be
packed by themselves or used to save
your seed for the next years plant
ing.
Where cantaloups are to be sold
several days from the day of picking
they will, of course, have to be
picked much greener. Just the right
period is somewhat difficult to ex-
plain. The cantaloup should be full
Melted, and the netting you will al
ways find a shade whittier when the
cantaloup is ready to pick for a dis
tant market. Really the only way
that you can learn this part of the
business is to pick a number at the
different stages, cut them and study
the character from the inside as well
as the cut, says w F. Allen in Farm
and Home.
An Eden Gem or Rocky ForG type
of melon when at the proper stage
of picking will be little pink or yell
lowish and the taste sweet when it
is matured to the proper stage for
shipping to a distant market. Only
neat packages should be used. and
if not sold at your station, they
should be shipped to some reliable
commission house whose rating and
standing is in itself a guarantee that
you will get fair returns.

Making Plum Preserves

Allow equal weight of sugar and
plums. Wash plums, prick the skins
with silver fork, and place them in
a large bowl or jar. Make a syrup of
the sugar and as little water as pos
sible, boil and skim, then pour over
the fruit. Next day drain off the
syrup and boil it again, and again
pour it over the fruit. Repeat this
process the next morning and the
last time put the plums and the
syrup together over the fire. Let
boil up quickly and then simmer
about 20 minutes, after which pour
into jars and seal while hot.
Wash and drain carefully selected
plums, cut small piece off the bios
som ends and then steam the plums
until tender Save the juice that
runs out for jelly. Place the steamed
plums In warmed glass jars and pour
over them a hot syrup made by boil
ing together one pint water one and
half cups of sugar. Fill the cans
full to overlooking and seal air
tight.
When preserving plums, stew them
first and then lift them out and pour
the sugar syrup over them. The
juice left from the first boiling makes
nice jelly, and prepared this way the
preserves are not so tart and much
more palatable.-Three Experts i'll

SCHOOL And COLLEGE WORK
Normal Training in the Stat.
School of Agriculture.
DETAILS OF THE NEW COURSE
Activities of the State Normal
Schools and Fremont College
Various Educational
Notes.

Beginning with the next school year,
normal training will be added to the
course. Of study in the School Of Agri-
culture, University Of Nebraska The
course as q whole has been revised and
the work OF the senior Year Of the four
years course will hereafter consist of
three groups, the technical. the uni
versity preparatory Of the first three
training The work of the first three
years will be required work, the technical
and cultural subjects blended in the
course in about the same proportion as
heretofore.
Normal training has been added to the
course OF study because the young
teachers who so into our rural schools.
and village schools in rural communities,
should all be thoroughly equipped TO
handle agricultural subjects and In
earnest sympathy with rural life and rural
conditions This is not the case at
present. The graduates of our normal
training high schools at present are
products Of agricultural knowledge.
gained from the one semester Of so-called
agricultural instruction required by law
in our normal training high schools.
Although normal training graduates as a
whole have greatly increased the ef-
ficiency Of the rural schools because Of
their knowledge Of pedagogy and methods
nevertheless the fact remains that they
are peculiarly untitled to meet the real
needs of rural communities because they
have no real training in a course Of study
suited to rural conditions, and their
sympathies and their ideals are born OF
the town rather than Of the country.
Every young teacher who begins her
career In the rural school should first
have a. broad understanding Of and sym
pathy with farm life; SIC should be
stepped in a course Of study thae is
adapted to farm conditions: and she
should conceive to some extent at least
Of a course of study for her own school
founded upon practical agriculture and
home economics instead Of upon "a course
merely preparatory for a high school.
This means that every normal training
high school should establish real course
In agriculture consisting of al. least ten
hours carried for two years. II means
that every normal training. graduate
should be required to take this course In
addition to the work now done in pro-
fessional training. To bring this about
in all our high schools will accomplish
one Of the great ends of agricultural
education. namely the supplying of
teachers to our rural schools who can
really teach children for and toward. sue
cessful farm life instead Of away from It.
