WatermeIOnS as Food.

The watermelon stands perhaps only
second in public estimation to the GU
cumber, for its bad effects as an article of
food. Like all other traditional opinions
there are some grains of truth in the
belief. Melons picked before they are
ripe, and transported by rail hundreds
of miles, and then allowed to lie in the
store on the sidewalk until they are
" mellow" are undoubtedly among the
most vicious of fruits that can be taken
into the stomach. Allowed to ripen on
the vines, picked early in the morning,
and kept cool until eaten, there is no
fruit of its season more gratifying to the
taste, or more healthful to the system.
Like the tomato they are mild aperient,
but may be eaten literally every day,
not only with no i'll results, but with de-
cided benefit. 1t is said of the Egyp-
tians, that during the season of ripening,
the watermelon is regular article of
diet for the poorer classes. In all the
oriental countries, and especially in Per-
STA, they are cultivated with the most as
siduous care, and freely eaten by all
classes. The onl y reason why they are in
so ill-repute here, where the soil and eli
mate are entirely natural to them, can be
from no other cause than the one men,
toned, that of being stale before they are
eaten.
In this respect the farmer need have
no fear. They can have them fresh and
in perfection. and may eat them morning.
noon and night, not only with impunity,
but with decided benefit to the health.
But, like any other ripe fruit or vegeta-
BILE, they should be eaten judiciously.
That is, the stomach should not be glut-
ted. If eaten daily through their season
and in moderate quantities, we consider
them the peer of the tomato, Lot only in
the promotion of health, but as among
the most valuable of fruits, in keeping
the system clear of those bilious disorders
incident to our climate, and which are
often intensified by an irregular indul-
gence of those fruits and vegetables,
which all farmers should, but unfortu-
nately do not raise for themselves

The Country of Roses.

In the Bulgarian language, Schipka
means wild rose. The village, which is
at the bottom of the Balkan Pass, cross
ed by the Russians, and bearing the
same name, consists of about 500 houses.
the inhabitants of which are OCCUPIED
in the cultivation and sale of roses.
The principal town of the Valley of
hoses, at present rayaged by war. is
kazanlik, which the troops of General
Gourka lately seized. Count de Moltke.
IN his letters on the east, has the follow
ing remarks on that region:
The little town of Kazanlik is hid
den In small forest of gigantic walnut
trees. Even the minarets do not sue
coed in rising above the mountains of
foliage and branches under which they
are buried. The abundance of water in
that district surpasses all conception:
just as in Lombardy all the fields and
gardens are irrigated by bitches and rivu
lets. kazanlik is the Cashmere of Eu-
rope, the Gulistan of Turkey, the
country of roses. The flower is not cul-
tivated, as with us, in pots and gardens;
but IN fields and in burrows. like pota-
toes. Nothing can be more charming
than such plantation of roses. Mil
lions upon millions of red leaves are
spread over the bright green of the
rose field. and yet at this moment not
me quarter of the buds are opened. At
hazanlik is m:,de the oil of roses which

How to Get Rich.

This is an important and interesting
subject for farmers as well as all other
men, and as the making money by all
hooorable means is commendable. we
give the following practical suggestions
from Michigan farmer in one of our
exchanges:
Being asked what the farmers of Mich
lgan most needed to increase the value
their lands, crops and herds, "they
want" said he, Gust what the mer-
chants, the manufacturers and the me-
chanlcs want, just what the railroad men,
the lumber men, and the mining men
want, they want labor, capital and
brains. There is not farmer in the
state but will stand an application of
this trlO-wOrk, money and thought"
We asked him again, what simple and
easy methods he would recommend to
the farmers from which they could get
the quickest returns. and he replied
First, would recommend that every
COW in the state be crossed by a thor
oughbred bull. | calculate that would
add 81 800, 900 to the wealth of the state
in two years, and that it would double
the value of the cattleof the state in four
years. Second, l would cross every
breeding eve in the state with thor.
oughbred ram of approved pedigree, and
L calculate that it would add one pound
of wool to every shearing in two years,
besides improving the focks in many
other respects. You can can calculate
the gain yourself. Third, l would have
every farmer select his seeds of every
aSpo.inI1x, 6 III
is, to pick out the best and discard the
inferior. The profit would be immense,
for there is no telling how much can be
gained by the selection of Seeds" Now,
here are three things within the reach of
almost every farmer. They require a
little money, some work and a good deal
of nerve and will power. Was the old
man right? Let every farmer adopt
these precepts and then contradict them
If he can.

CamphOr as Remed for Canes.

The Poultry Bulletin says that it has
rather discredited the idea of any cure for
gapes in chickens, but now confesses, af-
ter examination, that it has reason for
faith in camphor. The camphor acts
upon the worms by a vapor, the same as
in inhalation of carbolic acid fumes. and
being very strong vermifuge, it kills
the worms. 1t is usual to give the rem
edy in pills about the size of an ordinary
pea, and also diluted in the water they
drink. The chick will smell of the
camphor for long time after taking it,
and the fumes cannot fail to penetrate
the windpipe and lungs. Naturalists
use camphor to keep out mites and
various museum pests from their cabi-
nets, and we see no good reason why its
fumes should not be destructive to the
cape worm.
