Early Melons.

GARDENERS generally find it difficult to
get as early melons as they would like,
for the reason that they will not bear
transplanting. have tried a way by
which they can be started early and trans
planted when wanted. Save all the paste
board collar boxes and fill them with the
best soil. Any kind of boxes will do /
they can be made of wood with bottoms
tackled on. Afler warming the soil, plant
the seed, about five to the box. They can
now be sunk in the hot-bed, or, if you do
not have one, they can be kept in the
house by the stove. When the young
plants are large enough they can be trans
planted. After making the ground mel
low, make hole the size of the box I;
then slip out the bottom and the earth
with the plants will slip through without
being disturbed. This plan will do for
other plants besides melons, as cucum-
bers, etc, the tender egg plant and some
varieties of flowers. BY starting plants
early in this way several weeks can be
gained.-OOr. Prairie Farmer.

meth, that the Normal Institutes be

A thorough and competent con.

would be held responsible Tor the

may be necessary. The duration OF
The institute should not be less than
three weeks. and many Of the coun

or more weeks.
The State Superintendent suggest

clases should be induced to take up

several such persons in Tama County,
who will thus give. US their assistance
in this direction.
The subjects to be taught should
