Fepti1;zers for Melons.

Growers of melons claim that if the
manure is put in rows or broadcast
ed it will be better than using it in
hills, as the cause of the vines dying
around the main stem, although the
branches may appear healthy for a
short time later. is the use of fresh
manure in the hill. In the rows or
hills the coarse litter is said to be
better than fresh manure. Lime is
not beneficial to watermelons, but
does no harm to muskmelons. Fer.
tilizers give excellent results. with
melons, and they should be broadcast

It interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that would be cured, as the doctors

it such high praise that ! decided to
try it. Although I started in with lit

and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail
to express, my gratitude. Perfect

many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tones are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

The good dairy cow is not always
the fat and sleek one.
Sudden changes in feed will cause
the cows to shrink in milk.
Ice-cold water is certain aid in di-
minishing the flow of milk from a
COW.
A tin vessel containing milk is much
preferable to crooks or stoneware YES

A good remedy for swollen teat on

in and lobelia.
Webster does not, in his definition
of butter, allude to oleomargarine as
a butter product.
Get the milk from the barn into
cool, well-ventilated place as soon
as possible after it has been drawn.
Get rid of that idea you have to
starve the calf if it makes good
dairy COW. It's a delusion and q
snare.
Raise all the food you can for your
cows at home on your own ground.
In that way you can get good money
for the crops themselves. - Rural

WORK FOR GOOD ROADS
In the Course Of One Decade
Of Agitation.

Ten years o agitation has resulted
in national movement for good
roads, but it is only within three
years that tangible progress has
been made.
Up to that time there had been .
number of state associations. Later
these were made to include number
of states, until in 1897 a national con-
vention was called at st. Louis.
Twenty-Five states responded to the
call, with over 1900 delegates. 9th
er and larger conventions were held
in 1898, 1899 and 1900. Several years
ago President Moore originated the
idea of trips of road instruction.
Last year he took train through
and other western states. The train
Travelled over $4,000 miles on the trip.
built 80 miles of model road, held 3S
conventions and addressed 100000
people. The trip was paid for with
$4,000 appropriated by congress for
the purpose. Following this trip, the
last national convention was held in
Chicago. Thirty-eight states were
represented.
It was then determined to secure
an appropria ton of S15O,0oo and ar
range a trip which would result in a
mile of model road being built in
each state in the union. At the same
time the convention secured the
drafting of a good roads plank III
the national platforms.
The association failed to get the
appropriation asked for, but with the
assistance of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson secured $4,000, which was
available for the work since July l.
After the failure to get the money
President Moore went to New YORK
and discussed the plan of Il southern
trip with President Stuyvesant Fish
of the Illinois Central. He was en-
| thusiastic over the plan. and at once
offered to provide the train and pay
large proportion of the incidental
| expenses. ..-.... ..-
The association intends t. push
| the good roads work. Congress anc
each state will be asked to pass leg
islation favorable to road improve
ment. Good roads are conceded to bt
the opening wedge for every othel
improvement to follow. One idea ad
vanced is to work the convicts of
state on it's road construction. Owe
200 miles of model road could thus
be built each year. Tramps and va
grants are forced to build roads il
Germany and England.
October 20 is to be Good Roads da!
in every state in the union. On tina
day instruction in good road building
will be given everywhere. IN schools
through the press, and. if the day il
on Sunday, the pulpit will be asked t.
assist the cause of good roads.

During the terrible Hood on the Gulf

During the terrible flood on the Gulf
coast in 1874 Col. Sandidge's heart was
touched at the generous aidlwhich the

would do what he could for the rest Of
his life to cement the bond of friend.

After his capture on the morning OF
July 10, 1861, Lieut.. Shurtleff was sew

and was then removed to the county
prison in Richmond, where he spent
about seven months, until he was
paroled. Mr.. Shurtleff did not reenter
the union service. He has never fully

Admiral Jouett was an officer under
Farragut. The following is his story
of the battle Of Mobile bay, as he witt
messed it:
Cruisers and gunboats were dashed
together, so as to guard against the
sinking of the outside vessel in case it
was badly damaged by the confeder-
ate guns. This required some time,
but at $3.50 O'Clock the signal to move

half an hour later, the leaders were

there is little protection from the
sun and flying dust, while all the ar
ticles composing the load are more
or less jumbled together, detracting
from their flavor. Again, Il rusty
looking old wagon is not suggestive
OF delicious fruits, vegetable or dairy
products. Bright paint and varnish
pay big interest when it comes to the
selection of a market vehicle.

'low-down" running gear that may
already be at hand The accompany
ing design of farm marketing wag-
on is presented for the consideration
of those who may find it expedient
to build. This wagon was designed
Cor the convenience of the farmer
and for the safe bestowal of his load
in manner to make the contents OF
the load show to the best advantage.
It has a 'deck" on which the bulky
articles, such as cabbage, squashes.
melons, ETC.. can be heaped up, while
"below deck" is covered space, ac-
cessible from four points, where such
articles as butter, cream, strawber-
ries, etc.. can be kept secure from
heat and dust. This interior space
can be reached from behind the cart,
the end letting down; from either
side through little doors, and by lift
ing up the drivers seat in front. Ice
could be used in one of these apart
ments to keep cream, milk. butter
and tender fruits in the best condi-
ton. A canvas cover over the whole
will not only add to the attractive APP
pearance of the outfit, but will pro-
tect the load from sun or showers.
With so handsome wagon, with a
driver clean and neatly dressed and
with farm products of No. quality,
there will be no lack of patronage.
and the money the consumer pays
will all go into the farmers pocket.

THE FIRST UNION FLAG.

rad taken to the woods. 1ordered him
to get up and call on his companions
to surrender. This he did, but they did
not appear.
"Shurtlef was badly shot. At the
time he was wounded he was carrying
a smal-sized union flag. This was used
to stanch the blood that flowed from
his wound.
sThe union flag captured on this &C.
casion was the first taken in the war
and was carefully preserved. After
having been displayed in Richmond it
was restored to me.
1.-THE sight of it naturally recalled
recollections of the union soldier who
had borne it so bravely, and often
wondered whether he had survived the
events of the war. 1t was my desire
to ascertain his fate, and if he were
still living to send back the bloody
trophy of civil strife"
This description of the ambush was
given by Col. sandidge in 1885 in New
Orleans. He had been trying to locate
Mr.. Shurtlef for several years, and
finally olo succeed IN learning al INC
summer of 1855 that the man he wished
to reach was a New York artist, who
had camp in the Adirondacks. After
an interchange of letters, Mr.. Shurt-
left received the flag in September OF
that year.
E. Col. Sandidge said in letter accom-.
panying the flag: "As mite from the
past to the future please accept the
aag-no longer of wax, but Of per-
petual peace, alliance and friendship"
Col. Sandidge died during the Span
ish-Amcrican war. He had been .
member Of the Louisiana legislature
from 1916 to 1855, and had been rep
'esentstivs in congress from 1855 to
90,

rr... R..tore Fertility

Many of the worn-out farms of the

growing forest trees upon them for
a series of years, and many of them
are better suited for the production
of timber than for any other pur-
pose. It is fortunately true that
WORKOUT farm lands throughout the

process is naturally slow, and the re.

FARM MARKETING WAGON.
Where Garden and
Dairy Products Are Sold Directly
to the C0nsuner.

Hundreds and hundreds of our most
successful farmers find the most
profitable method of disposing of the
farms products to be selling them at
first hand to consumers, direct from
the farm wagon. Where there is 4
city or numerous villages within
easy driving distance there can be
no doubt that this plan is eminently
wise. 1t enables one to market his
crops when they are at their best,
thus affording chance to get best
prices, while it saves to the farm the
middleman's profit. In following this
plan of selling crops it is CT great
Importance that the market wagon

came from the fort. Its garrison was
waiting for the shortest range. This
was afforded when, at 1907 o'clock, the
head of the squadron drew in to make
the turn at the red buoy. Flame and
shot, thereupon, belched from every
gun in the fort. They were, however.
badly aimed. Only one shot did seri-
Gus damage. That killed nearly all OF
gun crew on the Hartford.
"When the confederate squadron
opened fire, the monitor Tecumseh, at
the head of the union Zine, was abreast
of the fort. Before the advance was
begun, told Commander Tunis A. NJ.
Craven, the Tecumseh's captain, to
look out for the torpedoes which Wat.
son and I had discovered. The reply
was characteristic of the man. He
promised to try to pass the fort inside
the red buoy. I pointed out as the
westernmost limit of his sailing; but
he said he would get by, torpedoes or
no torpedoes. He tried, indeed, to
pass the torpedo line, as he had prom.
sed; but, at the moment the
Tennessee opened fire, the Tecum.
sch had her turret turned, with port
holes from the fort, while her guns
were loaded, and Craven, anxious to
quickly reach and engage the Tennes-
see, saw that if he kept to the passage
between the red buoy and the fort, his
route would be a crooked one. So, UNI
mindful of the torpedoes, he ordered
the man at the wheel to head the Te-
cumseh straight for the confederate
ram. The monitor, for few anxious
moments, held her course undisturbed.
Then we, who were behind, heard 4 dull
roar, and saw the stern of the Tecum'
sch rear in the air. A few seconds
later-ten at most-her nose dove deep
into the bay, and, with her screw whirl'
ing like top, she plunged toward the
bottom. A torpedo had ripped open
her hull. The only ones who escaped
were few men in the turret-eighti in

who told, afterwards, how he and
Craven met at the foot of the opening
