A New Method of WATERMELON Cul.
ture,

A correspondence Of the Rural New
Yorker describes the following method
hy which an extraordinary crop of wa
ter-meluns was raised; holes were dug
ten feet apart each way, eighteen inch.
es square and fourteen inches deep.
These holes we've filed with well rotted
manure, which Was thoroughly incor.
porated with the soil. A low, flat hill
was then made and seed planted.
When the vines where large enough to
begin to run, the whole surface was
covered to the depth of a foot and IF
teen inches with wheat straw. The
straw was placed close up around the
vines. M cultivation whatever was
given afterward; no weeds or grass
grew. The vines spread over the straw.
and the melons matured clean and nice.
The yield was abundant, and the ex-
pertinent was an entire success. This
is surely worth trying next wear.

ACROSS THE WHEAT.
MAURICE THOMPSON.

The wheat is flowing ankle deep
Across the field, from side to side;
And, dipping in the emerald waves,
The swallows flew in circles wide.
The sun, a moment tlarng red,
Shot level rays athwart the world,
Then quenched his fire behind the hills,
With rosy vapors DER him curl d.
A sweet, imsinuating calm
A calm just one rtm"ve from sleep,
Such as Il tranquil watcher feels,
Seeing mild stars at midnight sweep
Through splendid puppies deep, and swim
Their old ripe clusters down the West
To where, on undiscovered hills,
The gods have gathered them to rest
A calm like that hung over all
The dusky groves, and filtered through
The thorny hedges, touched thu wheat
Till every blade was bright with dew.
Was it a dream? We call things dreams
When we must needs do so, or own
Belief in old exploded myths,
Whose very smoke has long since flown.
Was it a dream? Mine own eyes saw,
And Ceres came across the wheat,
That, like bright water, dimpled round
The golden sandals of her feet.

Early Spring Work.

John NJ. Stahl in American Agriculturist.
"The early bird caches the worm"
rs general lule the early farmer
makes the money. The one who has
his oats first sown. his polat,e' firs,
planted, his ground first ready for thu
corn, his garden vegetables first III
properly prepared ground; in short,
who is the earliest in his work in it,
season, is the farmer who raises thu
largest crops and makes the most mon.
ey; and with good reason. He drive.
his work instead Of being driven by it,
and has time for doing it well Hi
products being early sell for better
price. Early vegetables, early poultry
early lambs and calves, always com
mand the highest figures. His corn,
wheat, oats, potatoes, vegetables, etc. +,
nave the entire season for growing and
maturing. But this early work re
quires earlier planning and prepara>

field operations begin this month.
Further North a good deal may b.
done even now. Let us enumerate, by
way of reminder, some of the many
things to be done or thought about be
fore the time comes for action: Corr,
stubble may be speedily broken down
while yet frozen, by dragging over the
field long pole with horse hitched
to each end. The manure may be
hauled to the field over the ground
while yet frozen, and no ruts will be
made by the wagon wheels. Plow'
and harrows may be repaired at home,
and taken to the shop to be Sharpened
Harness may be cleaned aud oiled
fields lain of into Glands" for blowing
washouts be filed; seed corn shelleC
and seed oats we'll cleaned in the barr
while it is yet cold and stormy outside
Drags, rollers, cultivators and seeder
may be looked after and got ready fO
use. Such little thingsa as whiffle.trees
chains oil cans and water jugs sHoulc
be gathered and stored where they cal
be reached at once. Spades, shovels
hoes, forks, ETC., should be frightened
sharpened, and repaird, if in need of it
The NOV may be filed from the ha
stacks. The summers supply of WOO
should, by all means, be cut and store
under cover, Rails, posts, or board
for repairing fences may be hauled
their places, and the wood lot cleare
up. The farm should be well supple
with gates, and now is good time I
make and hang them, or have ther
ready for hanging. Set the ash leacl
smoke aud store away the years SUI
ply of pork; strengthen water fenc'
and gates for the spring treshetS. Pi
and burn rubbish. and haul out II
chip dirt. Repair the fences blown b
winds, or torn down by stock. Lol
after the well and pump, and clean tt
cistern ready for the spring rains. Il
move garbage thoroughly from Il

and have new nests made. Have Il
