FertiIizing with Sugar.

There is a diversity of opinion as to the
land most suited to tho 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 good quality of soil with
out fertilizers of any kind, as the artifi-
cial ingredients contained in the ferti-
lizers detract from the native sweetness
of the fruit. They also claim that the
highly fertilized vines bear all their
fruit about the same time, making a
short season, while vines planted in I'M
fertilized soil will bear gradually one
melon after another, affording fresh
fruit for long period, even until 1t 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
expense was no object. South Carolina

1t will be we'll for the man who ex-
poets to sail smoothly into the matri-
monial port to continue those fiattering
attentions after his engagement which
preceded it. 1t will not suffice for him

save money for the future and to pro-
vide her with the flowers, books, bon
bons, theater tickets and other trifies
which he bestowed upon her when there
was no future to be taken into consider
alton.
He must treat her people with defer
ence, cordiality and tilial affection. He
must let her complain of all their faults,
retail all the family quarrels and point
out all the family imperfections with
out ever allowing the knowledge he ac-
quires thus to tinge his behavior. He
must listen to her abuse of them with
sympathy and never by any chance show
anything but tho highest regard for
them himself.
He must like all her friends. He
must treat "the girls" with the init
macy which never borders on familiar
ity; must enjoy their society, which
will be thrust upon him at all times
and places, and at the same time must
be prepared to agree with her estimate
of their shortcomings. twill be just as

In public he must always be prepared
to show her the attention she needs, but
must also be prepared to let her "have
good time, unhampered by his deyo-

her sit out dance alone, yet he must
never glover when she seems to be
dancing often with other men. His mail
ner must be a perfect mingling OF devo-
ton and noninterference.
Incidentally it may be added that an
occasional dose of neglect is wholesome,
and that a semioccasional quarrel is not
to be despised. philadelphia Times.

This was the case with young man
one day last week, and this is how he
got there. Boarding a Broadway car at
Twenty third 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 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 q 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. y And he got
off after three elaborate bits of acting

DAIRY FARMING.
The Necessity for Considering the Cost q
Transportation.


Transportation.
The fact of dairy farming" being
more profitable than grain farming"
is pretty well recognized in nearly all
parts of Ontario. For fear of there
being any misconception as to the
meaning of dairy farming, l would
give this definitions: Dairy farming
consists in having the dairy the prin-
cipal feature of the farm, and making
all other bran ches adjuncts to this; or,
you may consider it as special farming
if you SO desire. AS all prospects of
selling grain at remunerative price
at present have vanished, the farmer
must, of necessity, direct his attention
into some other channel, and dairying
appears to be the branch which is most
consistent with our circumstances in
this particular locality, says w. Carlan
in the Ontario institute report
We, as agriculturists, need more
knowledge, more originality, more Wig
ilance than any other class of people.
In order to be successful in any branch
of agriculture, you must have decision
of purpose. Good results are obtained
only by hard work, close observation
and persistent application. The farmer
must understand the machinery, as it
were, whereby he converts the raw
material into finished goods. There is
somewhat true saying that every
thing that is sold off the farm should
be able to walk off itself; but there
are exceptions to all rules, as believe
cheese is not of the best quality when
it is capable Of walking off itself. We
should endeavor to supply material OF
a high value according to its weight
For instance You might sell a ton ol
hay for IS, while ton of cheese would
probably bring $l60; but the cost ot
transportation of the cheese would be
about one-twentieth of the cost OF the
! hay according to its value.

SCIENCE IN THE DAIRY.
Systematic Testing of MILK Fat for Both
Butter and Cheese.


That the amount OF fat in milk is
true measure of the cheese-producing
value of the milk is the conclusion
drawn from $50 experiments and near
ly $4,000 analyses by L. l.. Van Slyke,
Of the New York state station (B. 6aJ.
1t was found that there is uniformly
about one pound of fat for every two
thirds of pound of casein in normal
milk. There is, however, an actual
difference in the amount of both fat
and caSeir contained in the milk of
different herds, So that the system of
N1ying for the fat In milk is the cor
rect method for cheese as well as for
butter making, and it was found ca
pable of practical application &c re-
CARDS the accuracy of the test en-
ployed and the necessary details.
When milk is paid for by weight
alone more money can be gained by
increasing the amount of milk pro-
duced without regard to its compost
ton. Under the latter system the
composition of milk has de:eriorated
in the last generation, for so long as
a premium was offered for increasing
the amount of milk produced there
was no inducement to pay any atten-
tion to the fat or casein, provided the
milk met the legal requirements.
These Investigations were with differ
ent breeds of dairy cows, and empha-
sized the fact that pound of fat in
rich milk is produced at lower cost
than in poorer milk. 1t is believed
that it would be easily possible within
few years to increase the yield of the
-SauaI American cheese product by an
amount equal in value to $1,000, 600,
with fewer thccgh better animals than
now, and at actually less cost.

and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

Columbus discovered America in
