Where Melons Grow.

Nashville American.
The best land for growing melons is a dark,
sandy loan, having gravelly subsoil, through
which water rises within two or six feet Of the
surface. Such lands are seldom found outside
OF the first or second bottoms of large or small
rivers. The high or upland which nearest ap-
proaches in character river bottom is the best
place to grow melons. The best manure is we'll
rotted stabledung in connection with that of
pigeons, chickens and turkeys; and the best fer
tiilzer, gnano, with or withoutthe acid phosphate.
fined in the fall, and laid off so the melon hills
will be from ten to twelve feet apart each way.
Where each Hill is to be- an opening should be
made a foot deep, and in circular shape, three
feet across. Into this the manure and fertilizers
should be put to The extent in quantity that will
a third fill the whole, the earth returned and
filing the remaining two-thirds. This should
DE done in the fall so as to give a chance for the
manures, fertilizers and earth to become in
corporated with each other. Plant dozen seed
in hill as soon as the earth is well warmed up,
and there is nothing to fear from frost.
Commence cultlvating as soon as plants are
fairly above ground, and when the eut-worms
have done their work, thin to two plants in a
hill. Continue cutivating aud keep the land
clean until the vines begin to run, but beware
of disturbing them in any way after that period
of growth has been reached. If our farmers
will find the right kind of land and will follow
these directions, they will be pretty sure to get
many difficulties in the way, and we advise
the farmer, before he undertakes growing melons
on any considerable scale, to take tour among
the melon growers, and remote, and he
will return home feeling the time and money
we'll spent.

a Mississippi why of bringing out
Aiiigators.--A Dnrkoy's Mar

From the Detroit Free Press.
We went out to Mississippi
swamp accompanied by several ne
groes, and as the colonel had prom
ised two bits to the first black who
should sight an alligator. there was a
feeling OF rivalry among them. The
day was awful hot, and though alli-
gators were as plenty as frogs, we
beat around for ali hour without
getting sight of one. 1t was their
hour for sleep. AS we finally gath
cred on long spit of sand which pro-
jected out into the bayou for 200
feet, the colonel called up one of the
hacks:
"Come, Moses, If you'll swim for it
III make the prize half dollar"
"Sure won't be cotched, NASSAU"
"Oh, there's no danger. Here are
five rides to protect you"
The negro went half way down the
spit, and then had deep, dark water
on each side of him. He closely
scanned the surface in all directions,
and then specdilydisrobedand plunged

colonel.

The black swan out about thirty
feet, kicking and splashing, aud we
walked slowly down the spit. All of
sudden he screamed out and turned
Tor the shore, and as we looked we
saw from ton to fifteen great saurians
making bee line tor him from as
many different directions. Every
body opened fire, and the yedorts of
rifles, the yclls of the swimmers, aud
the shouts of the other blacks made
an exciting scene. Two OF us took n
big alligator which was directly ia

kept firing away, but he turned and

two of the reptiles were floating belly
up, and they were hauled ashore and
