GROWING MELONS.
A Crop Which Requires Cultivation Unit
Late i'm the Season

A Crop Which Requires Cultivation Until
Late in the Season.
The best land for growing melons is
dark, sandy loan. having a gravelly
sub-soil, through which water rises
within two or three feet of the surface.
Such lands are seldom found outside
of the first OF second bottoms of large
or small rivers. The high or upland
which nearest approaches in character
river bottom is the best place to grow
melons. The best manure is we'll
rotted stable dung in connection with
that of pigeons, chickens and turkeys.
and the best fertilizer, guano. with or
without the acid of phosphate. The
land should be plowed, narrowed and
fined in the fall. and laid off so the
melon hills will be from ten to twelve
feet apart each way. DWhere each hill
is to be an opening should be made
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 hole, the
earth returned and filling the remain
ing two thirds. This should be done
in the fall, so as to give chance for
the manures, fertilizers and earth to
become incorporated with each other.
Plant dozen seed in hill as soon as
the earth is we'll warmed up and there
is nothing to fear from frost. Com
mence cultivating as soon as the plants
are fairly above ground. and when the
cut worms have done their work. thin
to two plants in a hill. Continue cul-
tivating. and keep the land clean till
the vines begin to run. and beware of
disturbing them in any way after that
period of growth has been reached.
If our correspondent will find the
right kind of land, and will follow
these directions, he will be pretty sure
to get large, if not early melons. But
still he will find many difficulties in
his way. and we advise HIM before he
undertakes growing melons on any
considerable scale to take tour
among the melon growers, far and re-
mote, and he will return home feeling
the time and money well spent

THE COWBOY COSSACKS;
Following Fortune Through the Flames,
A Story of tho Great Wars of To-day.

Following Fortune Through the Flames.
A Story of the Great Wars of To-day.
When the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia,
visited the United States he was captivated
by the wild life of the far western plains,
and took great fancy to the cowboys, who
reminded him of the famed Cossacks of his
own country. There were three cowboys
of whom he became so fond that he in
vited them to visit him il Russia One Of
them was Jacques Dardeville, from New
Orleans; another was Robert Macy, from
Nantucket, and the third was Rory o. Brien,
who came from Dublin when baby They
all had nicknames, Dardeville's being
Daredevil jack" Macy's ;, Buckaro Bob"
and O'Brien's Little Bricks" from his
small stature and gamy qualities in a row.
These cowboys liked the Grand Duke SO
well that they resolved to accept his invita-
ton, and as soon as they could get ready,
they went to Russia, and hearing that
Alexis was in Moscow. they fastened thith-
er. Shakespeare's Macbeth was to be played
at the theater in English on the evening Of
their arrival, and they went to see it.
General Skobeleff. the celebrated white
General" he was called, who was the
idol of the Russian army, was present, and
Daredevil Jack, Buckaro Bob and Little
Bricks happened to sit in the parquet near
him and his friend General Krapotkin.
Skobeleff, who had been told much by the
Grand Duke of his cowboy friends, sur
missed who they were

Manuring the Best Land.

There is one way i'll which farmer
can curtail his expenses in times of de-
preston. This is by seeding more and
cultivating less. Il makes great diff
ference if this is done what policy the
farmer pursues in selecting the land
on which to expend the manure and
labor. OftentImes some parts of the
farm are run down so that they do not
seed readily. The great temptation
is to continue cultivating, then man ur-
ing heavily and trying to get a catch
of grass or clover. In most cases it
will be far better policy to sow grass
seed thickly and early. and get as fair
a catch as this will give. reserving the
manure for the fields in better tillage.
and thus seeking greater profit out of
them. 1t is only the extra big crops
that pay when prices are low. The
farmer should restrict his tillable area
until he can safely count on a maxi
mum crop of any thing he undertakes
to grow. When this Is done the
seeded portion of the farm may be
heavily manured, little every year,
until it is all brought under cnltiva-

The Basis of Ethics.

ways. Granting the unity Of exist

preston of movement originated, sus-
tanned and consummated in the mani

there be an ought applicable to the

there be any thing but the inevitable?
On the other side. granting that pleas

of moral law. Man is 10 himself the
greatest mystery in the universe-a
mystery destined to break up philo-

the progress be secured which is the

HOME AND FARM.

For canker sore mouth. one table
spoonful of borax dissolved in half a
pint of water is excellent used as a
wash.
Wash fiat irons in soapsuds and
dry thoroughly. if they at all trouble
you by dropping black specks.
Picked Fish: Spice the vinegar,
cooking the spices in a bag; when hot
put the fish in and let it boil slowly
until tender. Take out carefully and
lay away in a stone jar.
Try salt for sore throat, and
onions for diphtheria. and cream of
tartar and saleratus for rheumatism.
These are simple home remedies. but
they are sometimes very effectual.
Salad of String Beans: Trim one
pint of string beans, put in a sauce
pan, cover with boiling salt water.
When tender drain and let cool, cut
each bean in four pieces, lengthwise,
arrange neatly on salid-dish, cover
with French dressing and let stand
one hour before serving.
Spanish Fritters: Trim the crust
from some stale bread, bakers. or if
home made should be very light Cut
in any pretty. fanciful shape and soak
in a mixture of one beaten egg, one
cup of cream or milk, two tablespoon
fulls of sugar, and little nutmeg and
cinnamon. Fry light brown and eat
with stewed fruit or asweet sauce.
"A contributor to Good Rousekeep-
ing thinks boys should be taught to
make beds, sweep. cook common fare,
darn stockings and mend their trousers
if need be. while the girls should learn
to drive nails. saw boards, make q
joint. and use the glue pot neatly and
effectively.
When the hens appear droopy it
may be traced to one of several causes,
which are large lice on the heads and
necks, colds from draughts of air, or
indigestion. The best treatment is to
separate the SICK hen from the others,
and put her in dry, warm place, and
as warmth is often more effectual than
medicine.
Tomato Salad: Peel six tomatoes
and put them on ice until very cold.
Make the dressing of two uncooked
eggs mixed wit h half teaspoon of
mustard, salt and little cayenne pep
per, into which drop slowly half q pint
of olive oil; then add a few drops of
lemon juice and little vinegar. Wash
and dry the crisp part of a head of
lettuce. Whel ready to serve cut the
tomatoes in halves, arrange on dish
with lettuce leaves around each half,
and cover with the dressing and serve
at once.
If person is tired of white walls,
it is easy to put another shade in the
whitewash. Take two ounces of
cochineal and steep it in warm water
two hours, when add to it one-half
ounce of cream tartar. Put as much
or as little of this decoration in your
white-wash as will make the desirable
shade. A cheaper and handsomer pink
may be made from madden. Take one
pound of madden and soak over night
in brass or copper kettle; set il on
the fire and let it come to boil, when
use the same as above.
