Melons should ho ripe wheu gathered and a long stem should be left on them. Choice melons should m Vi r be mixed with small nine, a lew small melons will injure the sale of good ones. It is better to give cullji to hogs. Melons should not be thrown into the wagon, hut should be carefully pitched to the driver who should plaoe them iD the wagon without bruising They should be in a like manner placed in the car. Melons should never hi roiled or jammed against on :h other but should always ha handled wuh the greatest cure There in nothing so important in load mg melons as good packing, M Ions should it jon desire them to appear well, be placed in a cur with as much ngnlarity as shingles on a root.

Many fine melons nre bruised by rubbing against tbe ear Put the best melons in the top layer tor the sake o| good appearance, but by nil means be honest in loading. Nothing is gained by putting culls in the ends or at tbe bottom If the melons are good four layers iu the car are enough If they are all small there should bo five.
