The Toledo, Ohio, Trade, OF recent
date, contains the following decidedly
fOwery description OF the growth OF the
famous Melted Gem cantaloupe. The
writer has drawn on his imagination for
some OF the climatic conditions, but all
the same it makes good reading and
clips to spread tho fame OF Rocky Ford.
We suspect that Nat Wetzel must have
been the inspiring source Of this eulo-
CYSTIC and breezy letter:
1t was bred in Colorado-no more fit
ting home than in the state that WIS
born in our own grand centennial year,
1876. On Il strip OF upland, 80 miles in
length, and from . to 5 miles in width, il
grown this wonderful melon; on soil
that Inns given to men millions of gold
this little melon seems TO thrive and
thrive only in this small area.
The seed is planted direct. No hot
house growth, and then transplanted as
is its eastern cousin. At five thousand
feet above the level Of the sea, with
moisture added artiflcially only. aud with
tho dews OF night to nourish the tiny
plant, il grows; the melon forms aud then
begins tho miracle Of growth that makes
perfection In tho melon possible. Dur
ing the growing season the dews are
heavy and the nights are cold, md rs the
sun sinks behind the distant mountains
the uir grows cold rapidly. nll growth
stops, mud not until mid.iorenoon Of the
neat day. when the sun Inns vanished the
chill of the night nnd warned into life
tho dormant plant. does the growth go
on; then by id.afternoou, the mir grows
chill ugain md 10 on, day after dny. al-
lowing only about six hours OF cach
twenty -four, when the melon grows ut
all.
II is this wonderful slow growth, this
absorbing sunshine, tho dews and the
line qualities OF the soil for 10 few hours
cach day. that brings TO this small mug
get of fruit it's elegant flavor aud quality.
Allowing six hours for growth there are
eighteen hours Of the twenty. four when

A Big Problem.

Up in tho Fort Collins district the
principal subject Of interest among the
sheep feeders just now, is the best way
to buy lambs to feed. The speculntors
are already trying to get buyers to make
contracts for next fall, but most OF them
are holding back. With the market for
fat lambs advancing. worse time to
contract for lambs could not be selected,
for it is long guess from now until next
spring. There seems to be a disposition
on the part Of both buyers and sellers to
got closer together. Tho feeders want
to buy their lambs from tho owners di.
