An Alton, Ills, correspondent
Of the Western Rardl gives his eX-
pcrience in melon culture as follows ::
Commencing few years ago the
cultivation of the Nutmeg melon,
we grew in it, until it has become a
specially. But commencing green
in the business, very many were the
mistakes made. We planted too
soon, the ground was cold, perhaps
wet; to say nothing Of shallow
plowing-and the seed failed to ger
inmate. We replanted late in the
season; seed was scarce, and few
seeds went to the hill, and the bugs
took all.
When we got a stand finally, the
planting was too close, and to add
to the difficulty, too many plants
were in the hill, and the vines were
trampled to death at harvest. Weeds
would spring up and grow in spite
of our efforts flor we were short Of
help) to put them down with the
cultivator and hoe. We were just
little behind all through the season
and the result was not satisfactory
! The seasons rolled on. The meloI
is still planted, and sent to the mar

Corn Grown For Fodder.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman at Prospect Hill, Va,
writes as follows:
/ had seen corn sown for fodder
so highly recommended in the
Country Gentleman and Rural If
fairs, that l thought / would try a
little by way of experiment. On
June 25 l planted just one-third of
an acre, in drill three feet apart l
took my Wethersfeld drill, put in
the largest seed, and went over each
row twice, and then covered with a
cultivator. 1t grew finely. l cult
waited it twice with an A harrow, set
so as to take only to the middle be-
tween the rows, and ran it up and
down each row. By SO doing l
could run very close to the young
corn, and kill the weeds and not in
jure or cover the young plants. l
cut it with briar scythe, and one
man could not cut as fast as four
could bind. This was Sept. %. Put
it in small stacks, or rather shocks,
and let it stand. Commenced feed
ing it to my horses and mules G 81
Nov. 1, and it lasted them until the
Sd of December, and is by far the
best fodder l have. l shall put in
several acres next year, for it not
only yields a very profitable crop,
for the farm as the ground was
poor but it "kills the weeds" most
efiectually, which is q great point
here. / believe that shall make it
a paying crop in money. Fodder is
always salable at $10per stack (ton.)
Now l can get four tons on land
that will not produce more than ten
of corn per acre-Siving me
$40 per acre, at q much less cost
than corn at so. l shall therefore
have $40 for each acre, and allowing
SO for seed, cultivating, gathering
etc, l shall have $50 per acre to buy
Che best fertilizers that i can get /;
for that is the only proper mode of
using that money, and so l can
my farm without cost, kill
the weeds and improve the land at
the same time.

FARM AND GARDEN.
The lessons of the Past Year.

The year which has just passed
| away although it has net been very
| favorable to the fruit grower has
given some instructive lessons which
should not be forgotten. Ithas de.
monstrated the Importance Of drain.
ing land as a preparation for the
growth of fruit trees and also OF
mulching them 10 prevent bad effects
of the drought. Nurserymen say
that, after bad fruit season they
can scarcely sell any fruit trees in
the ensuing fall or spring, but when
the crop of fruit has been abundant
they can scarcely supply the demand
for trees, This fact does not speak
well for the judgment and fore
thought of the generality of farm
ers. An unfavorable season instead
of being a Encouragement to fruit
growing ought to be an incentive to
renewed energy and increased ex-
ton.

Treatment Of Horses when Heated
Men and horses are the only ami
mails that sweat. So say the medi ..
cal men, whose business it is to in
vestigate the wonderful living me
chanism of both. The OK coOls Off
by accelerated respiration; if heat
ed in the furrow, he partially opens
his mouth, drops his tongue, and by
rapid respiration, or short breath
ing, throws off the excess of heat
which has accumulated in the sys-

ket, and the lessons we have learned
in its culture are these:
| l. For field culture let hot bed an
pliances alone. They don't pay.
Delay planting till the cold, rainy
season is past, and the ground is
warm, then push matters.
2. Put into the hill Is to 90 seeds
enough for the bugs and yourself,
but with all thisprovision, you must
keep up the war with the striped
enemy, fighting him with dust and
ashes to the end. The warfare is
of short duration. The melon grows
rapidly, and is soon able to take
care of itself. When the danger is
past, leave two or at most three
plants in a hill
3. Plant in loose, mellow soil, in
rows eight feet apart and five feet in
the row. 1t is not necessary to ma
nure heavily as for cabbage or
other garden vegetables. 1t is
enough that the soil be simply good,
and most important that it have
deep, thorough preparation. The
roots of the vine ramble freely and
widely, in the loosened earth, and
seem to enjoy their freedom. Dig
no holes for hills. Give thorough
drainage. 1t is even we'll to plant
on ridge thrown up with the pillow,
eight feet wide. The wants of the
melon, the kind of soil, and in the
manner of preparation, are very
much like those Of the grape. And
it is fact, that our largest and best
melons have grown on the hill-sid
among grape vines. No crop stands
a drought better than the melon.
None is more seriously affected by |
cold, wet soil, or long seasons of
rainy weather.
4. Stir the soil often, with cult |
vator, or light harrow, which is
better. Never use the plow. Cul- !
tivate level and don't wait for weeds,
whatever you do.
The varieties we have grown
are
/. Skillman's Fine Nettled, which |
is a small, early, green fleshed mel
on
2. Early White Japan, which has
a thin skin and is good for family |
use.
3. Persian Melon. This is an |
excellent late variety.
4. The Minorca was obtained at |
a great price-"one cent a seed"
and planted. They grew like
pumpkins; were giants in the field;
perfect curiosities as to beauty and
We ate them and |

his "deponent saith not"
But the melon which we prize

hat We shall plant another season,

been grown for three years and
from its local habitation,
Alton Large Nutmeg. 1t is certain

the speech of Napoleon at the opening of

has raised is based on personal govern
