a SUMMER SUGGESTION.
WatermeIons should Not BE Pulled
Until Ripe.

Until Ripe.
Editor Morning News: As the time for
shipping watermelous is close at hand,
desire word that can, as I believe, be
made mutually profitable, both to the
growers and consumers of the melons.
Melons pulled prematurely, even when
quite green, win ripen that is, the meat
will turn red and the seed have the APP
pearance of a ripe melon. The sound,
too, when thumped. cannot be told from
a properly ripened melon In fact, 1t re-
quires an expert to distinguish between
the two
If melon remain on the vine until ripe,
the outer edge of the portion that lays
on the ground will contain number OF
small bumps, or freckles; but if pulled
green, 20 ripen afterwards, these bumps
will never be SEEN the surface invariably
remaining smooth.
Watermeons will not only ripen when
pulled green, but will ripen faster than if
left on the vines. / have my reasons for
believing that they are sometimes cut from
the vines and left in the patch to ripen,
thus gaining several days on the market.
But watermelons pulled prematurely will
never ripen properly, the meat remaining
hard and indigestible ! have seen at the
North some lots of melons from which
good melon could not be selected, all SEEM
ingly having been pulled green. Such
melons become tough and are consequent
ly in a good condition to ship, the loss
from breakage being but little, if any.
While the temptation of an early mar
ket and high prices is great, more would
doubtless be gained by permitting the
melons to remain on the vines until suffi-
GENTLY ripe. Melons, even for shipping
should not be pulled until in an early stage
of ripeness.
A Recipe for Producing Cholera
MOrbus.
Eat heartily of watermelons pulled when
green, swallowing the pulp, and follow
with a few pears. Result, cholera morbus
in ten minutes.
Water Melon Commission Needed.
l have often wondered that the Northern
cities do not have a proper commission
to examine and condemn all lots of wa
termelons that may have been prema-
turely pulled.
Christmas WatermeIOns.
David F. Werner, of Gwinnett county,
Georgia, is noted for his Christmas water
mefons. He prefers for late melons the
Georgia Rattle Snake, planted from the
18th to the 30th of June (further north they
should be planted earlier, say about June
I'D He places in dry cellar on bed of
cotton seed q suggest covering also with
cotton seed. or adopting any other meth
cd, such as placing in dry sand, to ex-
clude the air,) The melons should not be
fully ripe when pulled. l have several
times set out to keep Christmas water
melons, but failed-melons too good 10 keep

account of no shells. never saw so many
birds in one cover before and 1 never ex-
pect to again. As soon as we struck the
ground the dog commenced work and our
shooting kept them moving, and the con-
sequence was that he was pointing and

1 am still of the opinion that a gun is
q needless article of encoura cement to a
well-bred pointer. How is it that these

against each other, where every movement
of the dogs is noted by the keen-eyed
judges and the honors distributed accord

From Public Opinion.

terrible battle was recently waged in
the aquarium at Bayeux between two croc-
odiles, who tore each others hind legs off
in a struggle, while hundreds of visitors
looked on. 1t was a thrilling scene for
those who happened to be Present. in the
aquarium when the two brutes engaged
each other. According to the keeper they
were comfortably sleeping on the sanded
floor, where they have been on exhibition
for many years, and the flies were buzzing
around just as though the two amphibians
were pine logs.

his eyes and glanced sideways at Pierri

THE GUN AND THE POINTER DOG.
Going to Show That the Dog Points
Chiefly for the Fun of 1t.

ChieHy AOr the II un OF III.
Joe English in Mirror and Farmer
/ think a dog enjoys being shot over,
but I do not think that they so so far as
to reason that, if the master does not shoot
to go home; neither do 1 doubt that to
continually miss would unstring the dog
to some extent. A writer about dogs
brings in the matter of retrieving as
sort of stimulant to the dog. This is
another question and is something that
nature has not provided the pointer with,
any more than it has an ordinary dog.
You can teach a bull dog or a shepherd
dog to retrieve as readily as you can
pointer but TO point is something which
does not have to be taught the latter. 1t Is
his nature. When they get the pure es-
sence of bird flavor into their muzzles,
especially fitted to hold 1t and "boil IL
down" to such a degree that every cord
and muscle is as rigid as steel, and their
excitement is such that you can't call
them, and they will stand for half an hour

with standing will sit you can't make
me believe that a high blooded" pointer
has to have gun along in the hands of
a master that will never miss, in order
to enjoy to the fullest extent what ma
ture has fixed for them. And right here
