Ferti1izins With Sugar.

There is a diversity Of opinion as to the
land most suited to the cultivation of
melons. Sandy, light soil, very highly
fertilized with phosphate and with salt,
will produce an abundant crop of large,
fine melons, but there are many plant
ers who affirm that they should be
planted on a good quality Of soil with
out fertilizers of any kind, as the artif1
cial ingredients contained in the ferti-
lizers detract from the native sweetness
of the fruit. They also claim that the
highly fortified vines bear all their
fruit about the same time, making
short season, while vines planted in un-
fertilized soil will bear gradually one
melon after another, affording fresh
fruit for a long period, even until it is
so late in October that the first frosts
have killed the vines. An old planter
Of ancient days, fond of experimenting,
fertilized the soil in which he planted
his melon seeds with quantities of sug-
ar, producing most satisfactory result,
the melons being of unusual size and
sweetness. That was done i'll days when

A ButtermiIk Well,

Did you ever see a buttermilk wellS
[ mean well that yields buttermilk.
No, there are no buttermilk wells
about here that [ know of, but I saw
one out in northern Indiana once. 1t
was connected with creamery. There
is no market for buttermilk there, and
the inhabitants Of the town, who can
get all the buttermilk they want for
nothing by simply going after it, never
touch it. AS fast as the great revolving
churns have precipitated their wealth of
golden butter the milky residuum is
run off into the troughs that lead to the
buttermilk we'll. From thence it is
pumped up to feed hogs, being distrib-
uted by system of troughs among the
pens. These hogs are merely kept to
utilize the buttermilk, which would
otherwise go to waste, and the fairness
of these animals so fed defes words.
Very little else is given them. Butter
milk pork is said to be superior, espe-
cially when supplemented with corn.

HE TOLD THE TRUTH AT LAST.
Had Not a Nickel to Pay His Fare, but O
Conductor Trusted Him.


dead broke" is relative term.
Some men are "dead broke" on so.
Some don't call it dead broke until
they reach nickel. It's pretty dead
broke" when you haven't even the one
nickel for car fare, want to get from
twenty third to Fulton street, are in
hurry, couldn't walk for a fortune and
know there's money waiting for you at
the other end if you can get there.
This was the case with young man
one day last week, and this is how he
got there. Boarding Broadway car at
Twenty street among crowd Of
others, he walked forward and took his
stand beside the gripman. 1t was some
time before the conductor reached him,
when he fumbled for change, as though
he knew he had it in vest and trousers
pockets, finally remarking that since he
couldn't find it he supposed he'd "have
to get off. - The conductor saw it in
that light, too, and politely made way
for the young man, who by this time
had reached Thirteenth street.
Walking down a few blocks, he board
ed the third car following, and this time
the conductor called for his fare. Again
he affected the searching process, and
again the conductor waited patiently,
while the car spun along until at last
the young man anxiously declared that
he must have lost his pocketbook. The
conductor dinged the bell, deciding that
the best thing to be done was to step off
and look for it.
Eighth street was now reached. and
again at Fifth street a fresh car was
boarded. Another search after change
was gone through and another kindly
suggestion from conductor looked for,
but this one said: ''Ain't got no money?
How far are you going? Fulton? Oh,
no; you'd better get off. - And he got
off after three elaborate bits of acting
Just 20 blocks below his original point.
81 guess I'll try the truth now" he
thought to himself, and this time he
stood out ON the back platform and
| didn't make first dive into his peck
cts. He had got sick of it, and it wasn't
paying either.
''Look here, CONDUCTOR" he said,
''I'm dead broke. Haven't a nickel.
Will have lots when I get to Fulton
street. Will you give me your number
and trust me to ride DOWN."
''Ride you do, - said the conductor,
and that conductor hasn't regretted it.
He's got more than the fare since, and

A soldier applied in the usual form to

clear that there must be two parties to
an exchange. Very we'll, " he replied.
