to be allowed to hang till ripe, because they be­ come gritty with mineral matters under this con­ dition. Generally speaking it is best to pick ])cars as soon as they have attained to their full size, and before they commence to colour. The proper time is indicated by the ease with which the fruit stem parts from tlie s]iur, the mere turning iqi of tlie pear, held in the hollow of the Imnil, being enough to snap it off from the fruit spur on which it has been grown. Having care­ fully gathered one’s pears thus, they may easily, be ripened in any dr)-, cool room, being placed on racks or even up to three deep on the floor. Too much ventilation and too great heat both conduce to the promotion of rujiid drying and consequent shrivelling ol the fruit. When To Pick Peaches.—If a pencil be gently


l.iken into the hand, and the ball of the thumb be very softly pressed upon one. side, the fruit is fit to pick if there is a slight springy feeling. This will be when it is fully grown and partially coloured. If the flesh of the fruit feels lined, it is not yet in picking condition ; anJ a soft feeling on tlie other hand indicates the necessity of pick­ ing nnd using soon. The gentle pressure of an c.vporienecd hand will n»t harm the fruit, which would be absolutely spoiled by iiinching or crush­


ing. Wlien To I’iek Plums Ami Cherries.— Plums


and olierries must be harvested before they arc perfectly fit for consumption, because the matur­ ing fruits arc soirietimes attacked by the brown or fruit rot, a serious fungous ilisease which causes the decaying of fruit when ripening, es- peci.allv in moist, warm weather. Affected fruits turn brown, and .-i])penr as if decayed ; and sliort-


Iv they become coverc.l with a greyisli coating of fuhgns spores. The trouble also attacks small twigs, so tliat ilricd clierrics, plums, and peaches z.;,i, sometimes he fotiml attached to branches killed liy the fuagus. The whole of this loss can be preveHted in the case of cherries by |iicking tliem a few days before they soften and ripen. The Manner of Picking.— Im liarvcsting all soft


,'riiits, like plums, clierries, etc., take them by tlie stems onlv, so as not to bruise tlie fruit, or to destroy its bloom. This precaution cannot, of course, he taken with ni>ricols or peaches, because the stem does not naturally remain joined to the (ruit. It is tliejcforc nccess.ary to take the frnit gcnily into the hand, being very careful not‘ to press or bruise it. Fruits like apple and pears, growing on single stems, must have the stems left atiaelied to ilie fruit if it is to be used for dessert purposes, as tlieir absence is conclusive evidence lliat lire frnit Iras actually been iiandlerl.

Notes on Manures.—Natural manure supplies


nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, amUs the best means of improving soils of every kind of cul­ tivation, as it enriches them in liumus-forming • compounds, and makes tlieni more porous, mois­ ture retaining, and easily pemcable to surface roots. Hence artificial manures must in no sense be considered as substitutes for stable dung, hut rather as useful additions, to be employed in con­ junction witli it. Guano should he purchased only by anaivsis, as it is extensively adulterated. Su­ perphosphate, basic slag, and bone manure supply liliosplioroiis. Basic slag is to be preferred to su- jierpliospliatc for all wet, peaty, clayey, and rich garden soils. Its action is slower and more last- ing tlian that of superphosphate. Kainit, sulphate of potash, muriate of potash, and phosphate of potash jirovide the necessary ]iotasli. Nitrogen can he applied in the forms of sulphate of ammo* nia, phosphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda, and nitrate of potasli. Sulphate of ammonia and ni- trate of soda are exceedingly active fertilizers, both being desirable if used as top dressings for grow­ ing plants. In dry, cold seasons nitrate of soda is best, but sulphate of ammonia is to be pre­ ferred during wet weather. Fish refuse possesses a good percentage of nitrogen ami some phosphoric add, and blood, shoddy, herns, etc., contain large preportions of nitrogen. As a general rule ma­ nures rank in tlie following order for rapidily of decomposition :—Bone-meal, flesli-geano, and the dfopjrtngs of birds, straw and stable manure, leather scrapings, horn, dried leaves, and saw.liist,


and peat. Selection of Artificials.—Low lying, moist and


rich soils are likely only to be deficient i* plios- jiliates, wiiile nitrates and jjotasli will jirobahly he lacking in lighter, liighcr situated and more ex­ posed lands. Rapid foliage growth denotes the' jiresence of abundant nitrogen, and very succu­ lent leaves indicate a need for pliospliates, and probablv or lime. On the other hand, when plants _^under normal conditions—malie only meagre growth, and achieve early maturity, sufficient pliosphoric acid is present, but nitrates and pos­ sibly potash are wanting. Tlie necessity for potash may be saiil to generally vary with the foliage develoimieiit of jdaiits, such robust growing crops as cabbages and potatoes rc(|iiiring large quanti­


ties. Liming.—Lime, a necessary component of all


good garden soils", aids in the dceeinposition of orjjanic inamirtrs, ami

ma,le for il, .2ml, «cncrnlly speaking, any room or


cellar where butter keeps well during warm weather ^vill answer as a storage place for fruit. Of course, there arc always some risks incurred b\ storing, but at the same time if especial care be taken that no over-ripe fruit be «tored, it is usual­ ly a iirofitable use to put one’s apple crop to. It is essential to convev the picked fruit to its des­ tined store room at once, as e.vposurc to the sua will most likely spoil it for keej^ing against win- •ter and early spring. IJoin'e Storing of Fruits.—The cellar Is nearly


alwayn the domestic store for fruits, and if it be tolerably well ventilated, cool, and moderately dry, it ahiwers every purpose excepting perhajis that it is better for sanitary reasons for the fruit to be kepi right away from inhabitecl rooms. A perfect fruit cellar shoiiM be safe from actual trojkt, have jiroper ventilation, and a slightly moist


■ itmosphere, a»d must be very cool indeed. A 'erv dry atmosphere naturally causes fruits to.

slirivel, because evaporation goes on unchecked ; ttnd on llic other hand, improperly ventilated, wet storage chambers induce mould and other fungous


ahjeascs. Bnefiy, fresh air is necessary, and the '*^Ilar must be kejit slightly moist. Most jieoplc


lime), limestone or ordinary .alr-slaUqd builders qiiick-limc, must .always be well dug in, since Its contact with nitrogenous manures sets free am­ monia as a volatile gas, thus causing waste. Green-Manuring.—The cultivation of quick-


growing plants, to be dug in as green manure, is most advantageous on all light soils, csiiecially when stable manure is not identiful. Beans, peas, clovers, an<l utlicr leguminous plants, possessing the power of assimilating and storing up the free nitrogen of the atmospjhere, are the inost suitable


f(/r tliic purpose.

T H E G L I T H E R O E T IM E S ; what boys do for bicycles.


The .average schoolboy will work his fingers to


the bone if he has reason to think that a bicycle will crown his efforts (says a writer in “ Chums” ).


By way of experiment, a schoolmaster once pro­ mised to give a beautiful machine to the boy who proved himself most worthy oMt, and stipu­ lated that all who entered the competition should work hard for a whole week, at the end of avliich time they would be required to submit an ac­ count of the way they had spent their spare hours. Excitement reigned supreme during the next six days, and many a home was turned topsy-turvy by zealous competitors for the coveted bike. Every


lad chose a different method of showing his abili­ ty, and some of the claims handed in were de-. cidedly original. One hoy built a substantial workshop, hut discovered when he had finished it that he had forgotten to leave a space for' the window;, another made a coffin!— “ Just your


size, sir,” he told the master naively; while a third constructed a pretty gingerbread model of the ‘village church, the chances of which were slightly spoilt by the marks of some predatory teeth on the spire. The majority of the lads, however, selected scholastic subjects, and the most marvellous achivetnent in this line was that of a fifth-form hoy, wlio, without any previous know­ ledge of shorthand, tackled an old-established stenographic system, and mastered it so thorough­ ly that at the end of the week he could write sixty words a minute, and transcribe his notes accurately in the bargain. One musical genius confidently claimed the bicycle because lie had learnt the Jew’s-harp, the tin whistle, and the trombone, and was Indignant when the schoolmas­ ter passed him over. The prize was eventually .aw.arded to an athletic youngster, who, with in­ exhaustible patience and skill, taught , thirty per, sons swih within the, stipulated Itime. The verdict in favour oF jtlic last-named feat was


practically unanimous, and the disappointed com­ petitors, gallantly crushing their feelinj^ down, gave the smiling winner a royal ovation. The youngest boy of an aristocratic but needy family used to feel dreadfully ashamed when his chums invited them on their rides, for he hadn’t a bicy­ cle of his own, and his father was utterly unable to provide him with one. Thinking that this state of things had existed long enough, he one (lay resolved to make a bold bid for fortune, and daring carried his plan into effect. It was the beginning of the cricket season, and the boy, having completely hidden his identity by disguis­ ing his features and wearing well-fitting but shab­ by clothes, went day after day to a popular county cricket ground and sold penny packets of sweets to the spectators. There was something in his easy ond graceful manner and refined accent that attracted general attention to him, and in a very short time it became quite the conventional thing for the ladies in the pavilion to hold converse with him, and he was often given sixpence for a bag of sweets costing only a halfpenny. At this rate matters prospered exceedingly wth him, nnd long before the conclusion of the season he liad purchased Ins bicycle and confessed the decep­ tion to his parents. They were very angry with him at first, especially when he coolly stated that he had on several occasions sold sweets to his own relatives, but after a timle they saw only the smartness of their son*s risky plan to rai<ie money, nnd graciously condoned his violation of the family honour.
