How ruE JApxNEgE TRAIN Cucuu


How THE JAP4NEsE TRAIN CUcUN-
BERs.-The manner of training the GU
cumber was to me somewhat novel and
r appeared to me in some respects super
ior 20 our mode. Instead of sowing the
seed in hills, it is sown in double rows,
as peas aIe frequently done, only at a
greater distaAce apart, both between the
rows and the pisnts, say, three feet be-
tween the first. The vines are supported
by placing brushwco1 along each row,
forming an arch over which they may
grow. The advantages this method pre-
sents are, that the fruit is always clean
and straight, of uniform colon on all
sides. and can be gathered without incur
ring danger or injury to the vines By.

they employ a multiplicity of officers who
receive large salaries, yet they pay large

Q. The existing telegraph monopolits have
never sought to supply adequately the de-
mand for the use of the telegraph, much
less have they attempted to stimulate such
demand by an increase of facilities and a
reduction of rates. While their facilities
have remained about constant, their rates
have steadily advanced, until the use OF the
telegraph has come to be prodigious tax
upon the commercial necessities of thecoun-
Try. An advance in rates is their uniform
expedient for limiting the amount of their
business to their restricted facilities.
