The harsh, drastic purgative, once deemed
bo indispensable. h»Te given place to raildav
and more skilfully prepared laxative*: hew*
the great and growing demand for Ayer’s
i-omplaints, ^
orehardist as to see
nocent o^what they
doing, fnter as
stick their thumbs into the fruit un¬
til they come to that which is ripe.
They have no idea that they damage
more fruit than they eat. Yet that
is the case. Whenever fruit it brnis-
ed, whether on the tree or not, it
spoils the specimen and decnv starts
in.
Now, in the first place, persons
owning orchards should tie able to
tell, from the looks of the fruit,
whether it is ripe or not. A little
experience enables one to acquire
this, and whenever it Is necessary to
handle fruit with the hand to tost its
nmtureness, catch it in the palm of
the hand .carefully closing the fingers
over and around it, and pressing it
gently in that way you can feel
whether it it> hard or soft and
of ita maturity without injuring it a
particle.
On gathering pit frnits take hold
of them easily and raise them up
with a twist of the wrist, and not
grab at them catch-as-cateh-can,
breaking the tender flesh as is aften
done by inexperienced pickers; and,
above all things, do not drop them
into yonr basket. Handle them as
you would eggs. This may seem
like a rather severe caution, but
wherever the skin is broken on a
peach, apricot or any other kind of
fruit it is identical with breaking the
shell of an egg. It’s bound to decay*
and then the value of your fruit and
labor is lost. After picking lay your
fruit down, don’t throw it at all.
I have seen pickers throw the fruit
three or four feet into their basketB.
Now, a picker of that kind is damag*
ing to his employer to a greater ex¬
tent than his services are worth, aud
if after bring told once to correct
himself, should he pick in the same
way, he should be dismissed instant¬
ly-
Pears and apples being picked
somewhat green do not show the ef¬
fects of bad handling as soon as the
more delicate varieties of fruits,
less closely examined, bnt the
chardistsoon finds it out when
commences shipping, if they are held
any length of time. In emptying
fruit from the basket let your
take tliem out with their hands;
then lay them ou tbe pile ami
torn the basket upside down
throw the fruit down heavily.
There is a knack in handling
properly, which every old
knows, and these directions, if
ly followed, will be found
tedious at first, but will prove
you in time that more money can
made by careful handling, even
less is picked in a day, than by
ning the fruit off the trees as though
it was a lot of ten penny nails.
