A PRACTICAL gardener makes the
following statement: IA year ago,
as y test of frequent practice among
growers of melons and squashes, /
pinched the ends Of the long main
shoots of the melons, squashes and
cucumbers, and left some to run at
their own will. One squash plant
sent out single stem, reaching more
than forty feet, but did not bear any
fruit. Another plant was pinched
until it formed . compact mass Of
intermingling side shoots eight feet
square and it bore sixteen squashes.
This last year q musk-meIon thus
pinched in covered the space allotted
to it and 1t set 23specimens of fruit,
the most Of them were pinched of.
The pinching causes many lateral
branches. which latter produce the
female or fertile blossoms, while the
main vines produce only the male
blossoms. The difference in favor
of the yield Of an acre Of melons
treated by this pinching process may
easily amount to 100 barrels.
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1885-07-24
The Manners Of Boys.

Boys at a certain transitory age
are apt to be awkward. Outdoor ex-
ercise and sports do much to make
them strong and straight; yet it is
very common among those who are
growing fast Especially il they read
or study good deal), to find the
head thrust forward. the shoulders
round and STOPPING, and a sIouch-
ing, ungraceful carriage. Until
these things are corrected no boy
can be thoroughly strong and vigor-
Gus. Biting the nails is one OF the
most annoying habits. and yet one
which almost any boy will fall to If
his mother does not "nip it in Che
bud. !" Not only is it almost unen-
durable for nervous person to sit
in the room with one Of those nail
biting boys, but the young mans
hands are injured In appearance,
and IL the habit be carried into ex-
cess, they will become almost de-
formed. In these days of profess
sionai manicures, mothers ought, at
least see that there are no ragged
nails and raw fingers among their
children. A habit of snufiing or
scraping at the throat, OF of tipping
the floor with the foot. or the table
with the nuckels, comes on gradually,
but, once fixed, is exceedingly hard
to overcome. eternal vigilance"
should be q mothers watchword, for
the true secret of curing bad habits
is in never allowing them to be form
ed. The ounce of prevention is
worth more that the pound Of cure.
1 would not take away anything Of
boyishness or naturalness. A real
boy is worth half dozen fops or
dudes. But ! do not see why boys
should not be as graceful and well
hammered as their sisters why they
cannot sit down at q table without
lifting it and jarring the dishes as
well as the tempers of the whole
family; why they cannot eat slowly
and noislessly; why they cannot
cross a room without stumbling
against the furniture; or close ad0or
without slamming it.; or sit quietly
while reading or listening. 1t should
be perfectly natural for boy to
lift his hat to his mother or sister
when he chances to meet them on
the street; to rise from a comforta-
BILE chair when older persons enter,
tie room !; to entertain visitor when
the rest of the household is occupied.
Do not say it is to much for boy to
know all these things? II the moth
er has trained him from babyhood,
constantly and carefully. he will do
them without thinking. Good man
ners are a growth, and boyhood is
the time and home the place in which
they should grow.
