Watermelons and Their Require
mentS.

Water melons require a warm,
rather sandy loan, thoroughly
ploughed and narrowed, Run fur
rows twelve feet apart each way;
dig the soil out with a hoe at the
crossings about six inches deep,and
two feet or more in diameter, and
fill with good, strong stable
manure, or a compost of muck or
leaf-mold, composed with hen
manure or guano. Tread well
down and cover with about two
inches of soil. Drop eight or ten
seeds, scattering them, and cover
about one inch deep, pressing the
soil down on the seed with the
back of the hoe. Dust with Paris
green, the same as muskmelons,
being sure to get it well under the
leaves. When they have made
the second pair of leaves, thin out,
leaving four or five of the strongest
plants. When they begin to make
runners give the ground a good
dressing of fine, well-rotted manure
or fertilizer over the hill, and ex.
tending about two inches all around
it,and work it well in with hoe OIL
cultlvator. Pinch or cut off al,
weak or imperfect ones, and thin
down to from one to three on each
vine, to have large mes. The
large ones are the most desirable
and the only mes that are worth
sending to market. 1t will pay
best to use plenty of good, stronE
manure to attain that purpose. l
shipped In barrels, place them enc
down and tightly together, to pre-
vent shifting and cover with coarse
bagging.-American Agriculturist.

He celebrated mass in the rink and partook
of about two teaspoonfuls Of the wine, when
he was at once seized with great pain and a
burning sensation at the stomach, which he
regarded as symptoms of poisoning. He
quickly retired from the altar, and making
known his situation, sent Immediately 10 a
drug store for an antidote. The emetic had
the desired effect of relieving his stomach,
but none too soon. A physician was sum
moned and applied the best known remedies
for poison. Father Kelly was deathly sick

One Of the parishioners went TO Syracuse

presence of arsenic in large quantities. The
theory is that some one entered the rink 10y

night and put the deadly drug in the small
bottle Of wine left there, as arsenic was
found scattered on the altar.
