as that Of the muskm'ion, OF
canfeieup, which is euqally priz-
ed for its rich aromatic pulp, may
be traced back to remote antiqui-
ty. The former, which is general
ly considered as the melon Of the
Jews, mentioned in various places
in tho Bible, is believed TO have
originated in Egypt or Southern
India where it has been cultivated
from time immemorial. 1t would
appear that it was unknown to
the ancient Greeks and Romans,
as no definite information respect
ing it can be CLEANED from their
authors. The muskmelon, which
is represented to have been a ma
tive Of Asia, was known to the
Greek and Roman physicians, and
its properties and uses described
by them at length.
The kind Of muskmclon most
esteemed among amateurs in va
rious parts Of Europe, and describ-
ed, is the "Canteleup,' so called
from a place about IA miles from
Rome, the country seat Of the
Pope, where this fruit has long
been cultivated. This variety il

THE NECESSITY RON DRoUenrs.

The State agricultural chem
ist ofMaryland, Mr.. Higgins, pub
fishes paper, showing the neces-
sity cf droughts to replenish tho
soil with mineral substances, car
ried of to the seaby therains, and
also taken up BY the crops, and
not returned by manure. These
two causes, always in operation,
would, in time, render the earth a
barren waste, in which no verdure
would quicken, and no solitary
plant take root, ifthere was not u
natural counteraction by drought,
which operates to supply this
waste in the following Manner
During dry weather, continual
evaporation Of water takes place
from the surface Of the earth,
which is not supplied by any from
the clouds. The evaporation
from tho surface creates n vacu-
um, so far rs water is concerned,
which is ut once filed up by the
water rising up from the subsoil Of
the land; the water from the SUBJ
soil Is replaced from the strata
next below, and in this manner
tho circulation Of water In the
earth is the reverse to that which
takesplacein wet weather. With
this water also ascend the miner
ais held in solution, the phos-
pilates and sulphate Of lime, car
Donate and silicate Of potash and
soda, which are deposited in tho
surface soil as the water evapor-
ates, and thus restores the losses
sustained as above stated. The
author Of this theory appears to
have taken considerable pains Ia
verify tho fact having made sew.
eral interesting experiments
The subject is worthy the atten'
ton Of men of leisure and ofedu-
cation, who pursue the rational
system offending chemistry with
agricultural science.

Of cultivating melons has been,
first to plant the seeds on invert-

in the month Of April, and trans
plant them, sod and all, early in
in June. In this way the plant
will take an early start, and are

The Green-heshed variety Of
melon usually natures well here,
if planted in hot-beds, about the
10Th Of April, and carefully re-
moved to the open ground, June
10th. This is the mosteconomic-
al plan for the market gardener
The private gentleman, however,
should make a small hot-bed for
each hill, much earlier, from which
the plants should never beremov-
ed. The melon may always be
plucked in II weeks after plant
ing, with proper culture and the
ordinary season. In a long, dry,
and warm season, this edible fruit
may often be finally matured
in perfectly open culture. This
melon as produced here, is said by
travellers to be superior to those
usually seen in the West Indies,
or on the coast ofSouth America.
This is obviously due to superior
culture, and not to soil and eli
mate
Considering that the melon
may be so readily and cheaply
raised in this climate, and that its
best varieties are equal or superb
or 10 the peach, which cannot be
produced here, it seems very de-
sirable that it should be more gen.

it should supplant the old "Yel-

plants ofthis melon when pulled

Great care in shel:ering the plant
until it roots again, is of course
needful. This part | have often

thrive slowly, and fruit late
