NOTES ON MUSKMELONS.
her of Fresh Facts About Them.

Their Culture Very Popular-A Num-
Der of Fresh Facts About Them.
Professor f. William Rane Of New
Hampshire, who has carried on consid-
erabIe experimental work with musk
melons at the state station, says IN a
recent report that next TO the straw
berry there has been no garden crop in
which the public has shown more In
terest. Among other valuable points
from his experience Professor Rane
notes the following:
Among the interesting things found
out IN studying the muskmelon is that,
while we have considered this fruit TO
be monpcious, generally speaking, /
find It is perfect. out of 93 varieties
examined the pistillate. or female bios
sons, contained stamens ana pollen In
50. The remaining ten to all appear
ances were mOnpcious.
Upon consultation OF the literature
upon the subject as far as l was able
to go the fact IS not recognized. Gray 5
Manual of Botany" says, THE flow
ers are dipcious or monGcioUs.'
Planting and transplanting were
made out of doors on June l, the hills
being similarly prepared. The trans
planted plants were obtGned by start
ing the seed in thumb pots and then
transplanting into q four inch pot. from
these hardening off IN Il cold frame,
then transplantinG. The transplanted
hills were earlier and up to Sept. :
were in advance from point Of yield.
Subsequently. however, the planted
hills outyielded The experiment IN
point of earliness shows but compare
lively few fruits. but ten days In the
extreme of cases and but few days
In the majority In favor of transplant
ed plants.
AS to "pinched" versus ''unpinched"
vines, the conclusion points to but lit
tie If any gain from pinching or head
ing In" the muskmelon when grown
out Of doors.
The hills We're thinned to three plants
each on July 12 Cultivation was kept
up at frequent intervals until the
plants covered the ground. During ex-
tremely dry times the melons were II
rigated from the main college water
system. Not much was gained, how
ever, as n neighboring plot, under SINH
lar conditions, but without water, was
equally productive. The melon appears
able TO withstand drought as we'll ms
almost any garden crop.
The striped squash beetle was very
numerous and troublesome. We found.
however, that old slaked lime and
gypsum were equally as valuable as
tobacco dust in keeping them away.
When they were very thick, the young
plants were completely busted or coat
ed with these substances. Even wheI
tobacco dust is used 1t is necessary to
watch the young plants closely and
repeat the application whenever neces-
sary. This trouble, however, does not
last long, but for week or so, until
the plants get a few true leaves, 1t
must be attended to.

The Onion Thrtps.

The effect of the thrips on the onion
is known as the white blast" from
the fact that the tops are prematurely
whitened and become wrinkled and
shrlveled. Onion growers are familiar
with the fact that the depredations of
this insect appear earliest and are the
most emphasized along the margins Of
fields or plots or in spots over the
fields. The reason for this is that the
insect winters over in these places. 1t
makes its way from the grassy mar
gins or from the grassy banks of ditch
es to the rows of onions adjoining. 1t
winters over IN the piles of culled or
ions and refuse in the fields and begins
its work there, spreading from thence
outward. Wherever the grass and
weeds along bitches can be rooted up
ing of this pest. Wherever the old, dry
grasses and weeds along the margins
of onion plantations can be burned the
effect will be to destroy myriads of the
pest and to prevent their breeding the
coming season. With frequent drench-
ing rains there is not much likelihood
Of a severe outbreak, but in case Of
drought the insect Is likely to work
more or less serious injury in the eX-
tensive onion fields Of Ohio, says a
bulletin Of the state station, which rec
ommends the following remedy:
A spray of one pound of whale oil
soap dissolved in eight gallons Of wa
ter will destroy the pest, and the use Of
this mixture Is recommended on the
first appearance of the insects in the
fields. At time of first appearance 1t
will probably only be necessary to
treat very small areas along the mar
gins of fields or the small, isolated spots
previously mentioned in order to per-
manently check their increase.

EfPeproOf Safes.

"For city use in modern buildings ~
said safe manufacturer, safes are
nowadays made thinner walled than
formerly, thus giving them more room
inside in proportion to the space the
safe occupies. The modern building
is flreproof. or substantially so, and In
case of fire the safe does not fall,down
through the burned floors into atmass
of burning debris In the cellar, but II
stays where 1t has been placed, >sup-
ported by tine steel floor beams 1.-THE

subjected to comparatively less heat
Under such conditions the thin wall

in which 1t is used In the old style
buildings, for use In which the thick
walled safe is still commonly sold-"-

TAKE WATER FOR MEDICINE.
Health Producer Which Is Avail
able Everywhere.

able Everywhere.
There is no doubt that we do not
drink enough Our bodies consist
largely Of water, and the average man
needs to drink from four to six pints
health. This Is the amount Of water
eliminated from the body by means Of
the kidneys. the skin and lungs. 1t Is
evident that fresh supply is constant
ly needed to supply this lost aid In the
process of digestion and carry away
waste matter.
If the amount of water imbibed ls
not sufficient for all this, the health
must suffer. Air, water and food are
the essentials of life in the order given
A person can fast a long time-ex-
periments have proved this-but that
same person could not get along with
out water for that length of time.
AS usual thing women are the ones
who suffer the most from an INSULT
cheney Of water. Mothers should see
to 1t that their children have plenty Of
water to drink.
There is n diversity of opinion re-
SdruIuB uTluhluS dt me~iis. Cohe Us
sert that the practice Is injurious, as 1t
dilutes the gastric juice. Others again
claim that glassful of pure drinking
water taken during the process of mas
tication is healthful. On one point,
however, all authorities agree-namely,
that ice water is injurious.
Generally speaking, the theory advo-
Gated by the best physicians nowadays
Is to drink often and much. It,cleanses
the system, Increases circulation and
helps to make a clear complexion.
Therefore, We men and women, the lat
ter especially, drink. Take clear, pure,
sterilized water and be thankful so
simple a remedy Of nature is near at
hand.-TAble Talk.

THE LIMIT PASSED.

CordeIla Pasdetout clung wildly about
her fond but obdurate mothers neck
and rained kisses upon her cheeks,
while Anastasia. her sister, did like
wise TO her father
But their pleading seemed Of no
avail. The elder Pasdetouts shook
their gray heads firmly In negation,
though 1t was evident that the neces-
slty of refusing their daughters re-
quest panied them beyond measure.
Gently, but with decision, as one
shakes hard shelled crab from out
scalp net, the parents disentangled
their daughters arms from their shoul-
ders; then, mastering his emotions, the
father said:
mo, Anastasia and Cordelia, what
you ask of us is too muchl Never be-
fore have we refused request Of
yours. We have moved from city to
city, from state to state, to the injury
of my business and the destruction or
your mothers health, in order to de-
ceive people as to your ages. For the
last ten years 1t has been nothing but
move on for us, for every time the peo-
pie OF one place would begin to suspect
your true ages you have insisted on us
packing up and going elsewhere, that
you might start anew at % and %, re-
spectlvely. We have submitted to this
nomadic life for our love Of you, but
your most recent demand is too much
We absolutely refuse!'
The daughters sobbed like anything
In fact, they sobbed like everything.
But their firm parent remained firm.

The Cowpea In the North.

A good thing is injured and brought
into disrepute by too Jealous advo-
cates. The cowpea is one of the most
valuable plants that have been brought
INTO public notice for a good many
years, but there Is n northern limit to
it's region of growth beyond which 1t
Is not profitable to grow 1t. Because a
single grower in Wisconsin has obtain
ed some growth on the cowpea Is no
sign that 1t will do to grow generally
In that state. In fact, 1t has been found
that as far north as the northern part
Of Illinois the season Is too short to
permit the cowpea to obtain a growth
that will make it even serviceable for
blowing under, much less for the max
Ing of hay.
The seed must always be purchased
In the south If good results are to be
expected. The plant seems to be Il
natural ally of red clover and the two
plants overlap each other from the re-
gions where each does best--Farm,
