Water Melons For Home Use.

While thick-rind melons are desirable for
shipping purposes, the thin-riud melons will
serve well for home use. Among the best OF
these for general culture is the Mountain
Sweet. round fruit of scarlet flesh and suga-
~ flavor. The Black Spanish and Peerless
are other desirable thin-rind varieties. Select
warm light, ground-sandy land Is best-and
plant in hills about eight feet apart In pre-
pairing the hills let them be dug out broad and
oughly decomposed stable manure mixed well
with the soil The hills should be raised a few
inches above the level, this makes them
warmer and Will also prevent flooding and
packing of the hill during heavy rains. ii the
seed fails to terminate freely or the striped
bugs interfere with gaining a satisfactory stand,
repIant until a stand Is obtained. The bugs
which disturb the first planting often fail to
touch the second one. Use plenty Of seed to
allow for all emergencies, and when the plants
are well up, thin out, leaving two or three vines
only to hill, and cultivate thoroughly. An
bunee of seed is sufficient for about one hun
bred hills The plants viii fruit better By oc-
casionally pinching the leading shoots off the
vines. Tar water sprinkled over the vines
when thy bugs first appear often proves efiica-
cious Better still is mixture of SCOT and
wood ashes busted ON the plants when they
are wet with dew. 4 correspondent in the
Practical Farmer says that his remedy for the
striped bugs on melon vines is a free use OF
bran As soon as the vines appear above the
ground, he puts a handful of bran on each hill,
taking care to cover the leaves and heap il
about the stem a little. Ii there comes heavy
rain to beat it off, more bran is applied. Heavy
clay lands devoted to this crop may be greatly
improved by the addition of sand to each hill,
Incorporated with the manure and native earth.

Agricultural Fairs.

the following on the subject Of fairs: Some

earnestness and an equal assumption Of knowl-
edge. that agricultural fairs are useless. and
exhibitions offarm products a failure. Now,
We can not agree with these wiseacres. We tai

his products, the comparison OF methods and
results and the encouragement OF friendly rIy-

lence in his work. We do not think that other
matters should be allowed to crowd out the real
interests OF the husbandman by turning the
whole thing into an agricultural horse trot

HoneYSuckle.

There are few plants in the garden that de
mand less care than that favorite climber, the
hunevsuckle but there are none on which 1t
can be more advantageously bestowed. 1t
needs roomv trellises, and does best when the
branches are prevented from twinging about
each other. Whether allowed to remain on
the trellises through the winter, or laid down
under cover, the best time to trim them, ac-
cording to the experience OF some gardeners, IL
in the spring after the sap has begun TO flow.
The dead wood should then be cut nearly TO
to the living part, but II Is best not to cut so
close a. to cause the branch to bleed. 1t
would seem that for more artistic trimming
the late fall would be better time, but there
appears to be little scientific information on the
subject If any Of our readers can furnish any
facts or hints concerning the honeysuckle,
they would be very welcome.-Boston Jour

Something About Heifers.

Just at this time the opinion OF the Nation
al Live Stock Journal is appropriate: There
can scarcely be d doubt that breeding heIters
at one wear old has tendency to check growth
to some extent; and you must be your own
Judge as to the expediency of breeding your
own at that age. If you are more exious to
increase and grade up your herd than you are
to make fine show cows out of your heifers,
then you should breed them. There Is no
danger of seriously iniuring the heifers in so
doing, and there is usually no percepuble dif-
ference in the calves produced by these young
mothers and those from older dams. The
practice is not unusual among short-horn
breeders to have their heifers come in when
two years past, and our Western ranchmen
permit Nature to take its own course in this
matter.

CarboIic Acid and Weeds

As a weed destroyer carbolic acid seems
likely to prove boon to gardeners. Such
weeds as dandelious are killed by one appli-
cation; the mode Of applying it to destroy sin
gle plants being to make a hole in the crown
with iron Point-and then to pour in a little
of the liquid from u bottle. For paved yards
and also for garden paths, the carbolic acid is
mixed with from ten to fifty times its quanti-
ty of water in a bucket, according to its orig
inal strength and applied with brush o.
broom or from a rose watering-can; sunny
day being the best.-Florist and Pomologist
