Many who pride themselves on a good garden and are fond of melons never attempt to grow them. "Cncnpor to buy at 25 cents each?" Mayo for the first two or three, but If you would like or dozen or two, enough that If company comes unexpectedly and there is no dessert' for dinner, the melons can richly replace the pastry that Is a different matter. . Despite theories to the contrary,' mel ons are as easily grown as cucumbers and there are a number of varieties which will mature unless the summer Is unusually short A rich, light soil, sloping toward the east , or south and well fertilized In the hill, will bring the luscious fruit. If there Is danger from dry weather fill an old pall or oyster can (first per forating the bottom with nail holes) with stable manure or poultry drip pings, sink it partly in the ground and keep It moistened. This will not only furnish moisture but food. The reser voir being below the surface will tempt the roots to grow down instead of seek ing the surface, as when water comes from ;re hose in only small quantities, and ttey will be less susceptible to drouth. If the plants go to vines nip off the ends, but do not try to heck vigorous growth by starvation. The Rocky Ford is one of the best early muskmelons and one of the easiest to grow, bearing In profusion. The Indiana Sweetheart Is a favor ite watermelon, ripening early and of excellent quality. Cnta Oat the Undesirable Seed. The real up-to-date farmer, following the most scientific methods In the op eration of his ground, Is taught to make use of the se lected material only In order that the species may be con stantly Improved, following the law of the survival of the fittest For In stance, in' the selec- i-OR seed cobn. tion of the seed to be placed lu the ground, he Is not con tent merely to secure the best species, but wherever possible he will go care fully over the i3eed and pick out only the largest specimens to be placed in the ground. In this manner the pro duct Is generally of a much higher standard. It Is difficult to carry out this selective scheme in the case of corn and similar seeds which are made use of In great quantities. In the case of corn, however, the small kernels are generally at the tip of the ears, and In order to get rid of these undesirable pieces a corn-tipper has been invented. The devlep aeems to have been sug gested by the familiar pencll-shappener. It Is operated by a small crank, and has a cone with a tooth Interior. The tip of the corn ear being placed In this revolving cup, all the small seed are cut off, leaving only the full-sized ker nels on the ear. Leg Weakne. Leg weakness is due to chicks be coming heavy rapidly, so that the weight of their body' is too much for their legs. This Is not always an alarm ing condition, for It denotes that the chicks are growing fast, and If careful ly guarded and fed properly they will pull through all right The cause arises from heavy feeding and forcing, which carries the chicks forward so rapidly as to cause the legs to fail. Change the food to a light diet of veg etables and feed bone meal in the food. They should also be well protected against the dampness, and the difficul ty will soon pass awray. Leg weakness is nearly always due to rapid growth of the body or from lack of "uniformity of heat in brooders, If the chicks are small enough to be kept In a brooder. Crowd ing and pressing together to keep warm at night is a main cause of little chicks having leg weakness. No great alarm need be entertained unless the trouble continues for too long a time, but change the food and keep the birds 4ry. Utilizing Waate Timber. The wood chemistry section of the Forestry Bureau has been giving some attention to the subject of production of turpentine from yellow pine waste. It Is stated that for the recovery of turpentine from waste wood the steam distillation . process Is far superior to destructive distillation, making a more uniform crude turpentine, and usually a higher grade refined product The wastage from the yellow pine cut each year would yield as much turpentine as the entire oresent annual output In this country, with a value of $14,000,- 000. At the present rate of cutting the supply of long-leaf yellow pine In the South will be practically exhausted In twenty years, but that the methods of exploitation now In use convert only about half the tree Into market pro duct DM I Feeding Com oi Gnu. Professors Stewart" and At wood, of the West Virginia Experiment Station, last year conducted some careful tests to determine whether it. is profitable to feed milk cows grain on grass. With out going into the details of these ex periments we quote the conclusions as follows: "This experiment clearly shows that there was no direct financial gain In feeding the grain to the cows while at pasture. It is true that the cows which received grain were uniformly in somewhat better flesh than those that did not receive grain, but as far as the milk yield was concerned the Increased flow was produced at an ac tual loss." Data obtained In similar experiments at other stations are sum marized, and from these in -comparison with their own investigations the au thors conclude "that unless dairy prod ucts are especially high in price It is not a profitable practice to feed grain to cows at pasture. It Is true that more milk. Is obtained and the cows hold up their yield better and remain In better flesh when receiving the grain rations, but under ordinary circumstances ther Is no direct profit from the grain feed ing, as the increased production usual ly costs more than it can be sold for." Hog that Make Bleat. The hog raisers of Kansas station made a test to show what kind of a hog grows the best me?t. The weights of bams In the test were as follows : Berkshire bams, : 23 pounds ; Du-roc-Jersey, 24 pounds; Poland Chinas, 25 pounds. These hogs in size were as near the same weight as possible to get them. The shoulders of the Berkshires weighed 21 pounds; Duroc-Jerseys, 19 pounds and Poland-Chinas, 19 pounds. The Berkshires have larger shoulders than the other breeds. The butcher who saw the hog slaughtered thought the Duroc-Jersey had the most fat on the back ; the Poland-China next, then the Berkshire. The Berkshire ham showed more lean and less fat than the Poland-China. The butchers considered the breed of hogs that had the most fat the most profitable hog, both for the farmer and the butcher. Orchard Work. A good test of a man's Christianity is to examine his apple barrel frorr top to bottom. A man may be a good woodchopper, but that Is no sign that he knows how to prune trees. An ax and a saw In the bands of au Ignorant man cause more damage to the fruit crops of this land than all the birds that are hatched. Fruit sells best when properly grad ed. The best will bring a better price and the lower grades will generally bring as good, a price as the entire lot would If mixed. For summer pruning of trees the besx time is from the 15th of June to the 10th of July, Just When the sap Is run ning freely. When the tree is In leaf you can tell better what to cut out . Some people imagine that all that U necessary to have a good orchard ts to plant a variety of good trees and "let 'em rip." It generally takes years to discover their mistake, bui. they finally discover it Milk Cooler. This milk cooler is arranged so that the milk flows In a thin sheet over the outside. Cold water enters at the bot tom. Bacteria la Cold Milk. M. E. Pennington of the Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, reports that experiments on milk kept at about the freezing point showed a continuous Increase of organisms for five or six weeks. At their maximum they numbered hundreds of millions per cubic centimeter, and occasionally they passed the billion mark. Although the milk experimented with was never solidly frozen, yet after ten days to two weeks It was a mass of small Ice crystals. No odor or taste Indicated the higher bacterial content, and evec on heating no curd was produced until the very end of the experiment Bora the Praalage.

The few scattering trees in the fence corners are frequently veritable breed ing places for Insect pests. They should be given Just as much attention as tht trees In the orchard. 11 .. v3fcgfe-t SO HE THING FOE EVERYBODY Canton. has fewer than 500 foreign residents.

If the real estate of Manhattan Island were divided equally between its inhabitants each Individual would own $2,020 worth, according to the as sessed value. Prof. Carl von Noorden, addressing a number of prominent scientists at Vienna on the subject of "Food and Nourishment," declared that the reason so many men begin to get fat immedi ately after they have married Is be cause their wives give them their favor ite dishes on every possible occasion. Tjondon Standard. "Vegetable milk" is used In Japan. It Is made from the soja bean. The liquid is exactly like cow's milk in ap pearance, and In taste can hardly be distinguished from it To make It the beans are first soaked and then boiled in water. Some sugar and phosphate of potassium are added, and it is boiled down till it has the consistency of con densed milk. , Alfalfa was first brought to Kansas by the late Harrison Parkman, of Em poria. Mr. Parkman first saw alfalfa growing In Chile. He brought the seed to America, and in the late seventies he went to Emporia to live. lie sowed alfalfa in a farm which he bought and the plant prospered. It was slow in gaining popularity In Kansas, but is now one of the State's most Important forage crops. In New Zealand everybody is bound by law to take a weekly half-holiday, and there must be no shirking the obli gation. The Grand Hotel, Auckland, was recently crowded with guests, and several waiters, Instead of obeying the law and taking their prescribed weekly half-holiday, remained at work on the promise of extra pay. But the authori ties came to hear of It and the proprie tor of the hotel had to appear In court, where he was convicted and punished. The death of Gen. Stephen D. - Lee leaves only two surviving lieutenant generals of the Confederate army. They are Gen. A. P. Stewart, ranking lieutenant-general of the Confederacy, of BIloxl, Miss., and Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky. General Stew art celebrated his elghty-Bixth birthday anniversary on October 7 last. Gen eral Buckner was a candidate for Vice President on the National Democratic ticket with Palmer In 1890. He was ?ighty-flve on April 1 last. The German Emperor has a well equipped pottery which brings him In $50,000 a year. The King of Wurtem berg owns two large hotels which yield him a yearly Income of some $40,000. The King of Saxony owns the famous porcelain factory at Meissen, and the Regent of Llppe Detmold runs a large model farm from which he sells butter and milk and eggs. The King of Servla is said to own a barber shop and an apothecary shop, in addition to which beholds an agency for mtotor cars. I once had a cat that did a rather remarkable ratting feat. He stalked two young rats on the eaves of a low flat stable roof, and caught one in the usual way. The other Jumped on to an elderberry tree just below. Bob, how ever, not satisfied with the one, grasped it firmly in his mouth, and then Jumped headlong for the other. Either he was very lucky or extraordinary agile, for he fell to the ground with one- rat still In his mouth and the other in his paws, and promptly killed them both. The Scotsman. A strange story comes from one oi the Balkan states, where commercial morality is still In its Infancy. At a recent banquet given at the house of the prime minister a distinguished dip lomat 'complained to his host that the Minister of Justice, next to whom he was sitting, had taken bis. watch. The prime minister said : "Ah, he shouldn't have done that I will get it back for you." Sure enough, toward the end of the evening the watch was returned to its owner. "And what did he say?" asked the guest "Sh-hl He does not know I have got it back," said the prime minister. Philadelphia Record "Instances of desertion from the arm) in Mexico are very rare and for the best of reasons," said Senor Jose de Mlrialdez, of Nueva Leon. 'The reason lies In the almost sure capture of the fugitive and the certainty that he will get not one but numerous floggings on bis bare back. These lashings are done In the presence of the comrades of the deserter, and when the men see how great Is the suffering of the miserable wretch who tried in vain to quit his military obligations, they are forced to conclude that It Is better to stick to the army than undergo such a terrible ordeal I" Baltimore American.
