The best land Tor growing melons is Il
dark, sandy. loan, having a grayelly sub
soil, through which water rises within
two or six feet Of the surface. Such lands
are seldom found outside of the first OF
second bottoms Of large or anal rivers,
The high es upland which nearest APP
proaches in character river bottom is the
best place to grow melons. The beat ma.
nure Is wellrotted stable dung, In cannec,
ton With that OF pigeons, chickens and
turkey and the best fertilizer, gusno, with
or without the acid phosphate. The land
should he plowed, narrowed, and fined
in the fall, and laid of so tho melon
hills will be from ten to twelve
feet apart each way, Where each hill ia
to DO, an opening should be made foot
deep, and in circular shape, three feet
across. Into this the manure aud iettil-
izars should be put to the. extent in guam,

two.hirds. This should be done In the
