ONE MELON EXCHANGE.
Macon Telegraph.
Mr. T. Skelton Jones, of Macon,
is Dot only a prominent broker,but
is also a large melon grower. He
talks very entertainingly on a sub-
jact in which many in Macon are
interested. Melon growing has
become a great industry. Mr.
Jonessays:
It is. a well-known fact that the
melon growers of Georgia have
never received adequate returns
for melons, because no system has
ever been adopted by’ means of
which .the immense production
could be judiciously distributed
throughout the whole country.
To move a crop of perishable
fruit, amounting to 8,000 carloads,
in the short space of sis weeks, is
a herculean task, and 'necessarily
requires the most judicious man
agement, with every detail careful
ly watched, so as- to sequre the best
results. It cannot be done, as
heretofore, by every grower work
ing in .the dark, shipping indis
criminately wherever they think
the market offers the best induce
ments, and generally resulting in
overstocking'markets and produc
ing inadequate returns.
The interests of the railroads
and the producers are mutual, nei
ther can have a profitable and
healthy business without co-opera
tion upon a fair basis of profit to
each. The railroads reap a rich
harvest at a season when other
business is dull, and it is to their
interest that no markets should be
overstocked and freights lost to
them.
Their service was very efficient
lasttseason, and it is likely it will
be equally so the coming season.
Kates of freight, it is thought, will
- be adjusted on a reasonable basis,
and if the transportation lines can
be assured they are likely .to meet
■with very few losses on account of
markets not being overstocked, so
they will not lose their freight
money, they might be able'to re
duce rates. * ‘;
Co-operation—In order to ob
tain the best results all the grow
ers of melons should-unite in one
melon exchange, established at the
Central City, with the head to
manage and control the distribu
tion. The duties of this exchange
would be:
First and foremost, to sell every
car of melons at the stations at
best prices obtainable, to ngenls of
northern and western bouses who
maybe induced to come out and
buy.
2. To sell by daily telegrams to
all cities and -towns by * daily quo-
. tations.
3. To establish .reliable connect
tions with, the best-commission
houses in all parts of the country,
and consign the surplus of melons
not sold at home, encouraging
commission merchants who make
the best returns by increased con
signments.
At each station where the mel
ons are grown, an agent shonld
be selected by the growers, whose
duties would be to look after every
car of melons, see that they are in
good condition and well packed,
and report to the central agency
each day the number of cars ready
for shipment
The central exchange would then
know where every .car"of melons
would go, and be able to regulate
the supply, so there would.be veiy
little danger of markets being over
stocked and melons sold for- net
enough to pay the freight
The objects of this co-operation
would not be to restrict any mem
ber from disposing of bis melons
to whom he pleased,- and collecting
for same himself, or shipping them
to whom he pleased in any part of
the country and receiving returns
-direct, but to assist those who can.
not dispose, of them satisfactorily.
Many large shipping points, such
ns .Quitman, Valdosta, Camilla and
Albany,; where the melons come
into the market earlier than at oth-
-er points, have their own associa
tions, and are better able to dis
pose of their early melons at remu- :
merative prices than those, located
»t points where they' ripen later,
tint by the Fourth of July most
points are ready to ship, add all
are then in the same box, not
knowing where to ship (thongh
many think they know, to their
Sorrow), and all trusting to luck
rather than to sound- business
methods. On accout. of the low
price of cotton, the present outlook
for money in the pockets of the
Ranters in Georgia is not encour
aging,.and if by judicious co-oper
ation on the part of the melon
growers they can save to them
selves §100,000 or §200,000, which

FRUIT EATING ANIMALS.
Oreville (Cal.) Register.
Comment has lately beeq made
abont mice eating oranges; of
horses and dogs.- also, .eating the
same. It is not generally known
to what extent animals' are fruit
eaters.
The fig is the favorite fi^uit
among animals, and horses, cows,
hogs, sheep and goats will eat this
fruit as readily ns man. The ele
phant considers it a dainty, while
all the fowls greedily devour figs.
The apple ranks high in favor, and
horses, cows, sheep," goats, hogs
and many of the wild animals eat
apples with avidity. The elephant
and deer are fond of them, while
others become accustomed to them
after a trial or two.. All the do
mestic? fowls, and many of the wild
birds are fond of apples.
The cherry is a delicacy much
sought after by the whole feather
ed tribe. The ostrich will^consume
half a dozen kinds of fruit.
Peaches are. not a favorite ex.
cept with a few animals, thongh
rabbits fancy them- It is well
known that rabbits, rats and squir
rels all eat apples.
The Esquimau dogs will eat al
must any of the dried fruits. The
sour or acid fruits, such as the or
ange, lemon, lime, shaddock, etc.,
as well as the sour plums and the
bitter olives, are rarely eaten.
Nothing, we think,, is so bitter as
an olive freshly picked, yet after
they turn pnrple or black, hogs
soon learn to devour them.
The sweet and lnscions grapes
are eaten with great relish by
horses, cows and sheep. Deer are
fond of grapes, and often do much
damage in California vineyards.
Hogs will fatten upon grapes; rab
bits love them,- and a number of
the wild animals, as the elephant
and camel, will eat them. The
camel will eat figs with all the rel
ish that a person will.
will come at a time when it will be
beneficial to the whole state.-

others -who may be interested in
this subject.
