watermelons without Seeds.

The Wilmington, N. c., Stat
says: A gentleman informed
us yesterday that he was in
Florida on one occasion, during
the melon season, when he was
asked to become one of a party
who were about te commence
an onslaught upon some very
fine watermelons. These melons
he said, were perfectly seedless,
and upon inquiry how they
could be raised that way, he rn-
ceived this explanation from one
of the party, who was enabled
by practical experience to give
the necessary information:
"When the vines has commenc-
ed running" said he, "and the
branches have attained to some
considerable length, throw a
quantity of dirt upon one or
more of the joints Of the bran
ches, when they will shortly
take root; then sever such
branches from the parent stem
and the melons grown on these
branches will be devoid OF seed. "

How Animal. srow Pat.

Fat in animals, like starch,
sugar and oil in plants. contain
no nitrogen, and when an ami
NAL is not fed this fat wastes
away frst-in other words, is
consumed. 1.-THE animal be ex-
posed to great cold il cannot
fatten. The reason. therefore,
that animals protected from the
cold Of winter fatten much fast
er than when exposed is that
what would accumulate as fat is
used in keeping the animal
warm; The earthly or morgan
ic matter in plants is as neces-
sary for animal growth as the
organic matter. The bony skele-
ton consists chiefly Of calcium
phosphate, with a little calcium,
carbonate and other mineral
substances derived from plants.
While plants contain every
thing necessary for animal
growth some portions are richer
in salts and nitrogenous mater
ial, and are, therefore, consider
ed to be of more value, as the
grain Of wheat, corn and oats,
Foods differ greatly in value, as
every farmer knows. Many ex-
periments have been made to
determine the feeding powers
of the various kinds of food, and
elaborate tables have been
drawn up to express their COM
parative value. Every farmer
practically constructs such a
table for himself, at least, he
sets a different value on differ
ent substances, and buys and
sells accordingly.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

To Hon. Norman Buck, District
Judge, LIST. Judicial District, l. T.
Since having been empanelled ly
this court we have had brought to our
consideration four cases of felony, in
three of which we have found true
bills, and in one other we have not
found the evidence as sufficient to Sc
cure conviction.
We have examined the public re-
cords of the county and find them well
KEEP, and to the credit of the officer in
charge of them.
We find that the collection of taxes
has been made satisfactorily. That
the amount shown by the books, as
being in the treasury has been counted
to US by the county treasurer, but find
that it has been customary to redeem
county scrip without requiring the en-
dorsement of the party to whom issued
/
and we would recommend that such
endorsement should be required here
after.
We commend the late action of oul
county commissioners in not allowing
bills against the county, which, in thei
opinion, were too high, and woule
recommend to them, in the matter o
interment of county paupers, while al
lowing all expenses necessary for de
cent burial, to have those expense
confined to real necessity.
| We have also examined the count
buildings, and while there cannot b
any blame attached to any of the cour
ty officers in charge Of them, We fin
that the Jail and court house are in
decayed condition and inadequate t
l the wants of our fast increasing pop,
lation. The offices of the county Auc
l itor and Probate Judge, we find III

place. Both Of these prairies are now
occupied by settlers, the former having
been settled in fact, ever since 1862,
the latter has but recently been set
tied. AS We know not Mr.. Green,
having never heard Of him before, we
are inclined to believe that the gentle
man must be in South Idaho. We
have been informed that the Camas
Prairie of South Idaho has high al
titude, that it is cold, that SHOWS fall
deep in Winter, that they remain on
the ground till late in the Spring, and
therefore the writer no doubt feels the
contrast between the place and some
parts Of California. We think he
could not have alluded to the Camns
Prairie of Idaho county, where the
weather is mild and the soil is prolific,
and where every branch Of agriculture
hourishes vigorously, and all the COM
forts Of old settled homes abound.
But this Green says that he is settled
there for life, but not from choice but
from compulsion. We think he must
lack enterprise, for if the country is as
bad as he would represent it, he GER
tainly would get up and leave it. He
may be one of those fellows who
would growl and grumble if he were
in paradise. He would bee, me good
representative of no country, for he
would seem incapable Of approaching
anything good. Californians who
have their attention turned towards
Idaho need not be discouraged by the
discomfort of any men of his class
Camas Prairie of North Idaho is a
good, healthy and productive countr!
as can Le found on the coast, and on
where the earth yields to labor ant
energy as richly as in the most ia
vored places in California.
