 In building trellis brace the end posts. Dust turnips with plaster or lime to keep off the flea.
 Allow no more melons to set than there is a reasonable certainty of having mature. Keep the tomatoes clear of the large and voracious green worms. Though repulsive to capture, the pest is harmless and should be taken, even if it must be done with gloved hand.
 Clear Up as you Go.-Whenever any gar den crop is past use for the kitchen it should be cleared from the ground. Such course keeps the garden looking well and prevents needless seeding. It should be remembered that seed crop exhausts the soil more than two crops taken off in a succulent condition. The refuse of the kitchen is not fit to saVe another years seed from.
 An Eye to the Weeds Yet.-Where the weeds have been closely kept down through out the season until now, little trouble will come from them after this. But few no doubt were missed, and these receiving the benefit of clean culture are soon of large size and ready to perfect vast quantity of plump seeds Just to prevent this we must not give up the battle yet, for few such plants would make endless work next year, while now it is no task to level them.

Attention is again called to the immunity of the Hebrews from contagious diseases and epidemics by their escape from the ravages of cholera in southern France Of the He brew community of 4, ,000 souls in Marseilles only seven have been attacked with the dis ease. Two of these were lifelong invalids; one was ninety-seven years old, and two others had not observed the Jewish law The American Hebrew ascribes the comparative health of these people to the dietary laws of Judaism, which is probably the correct key to the problem.
