neer boxes approximately 3 inchea

the growers. The boxes are placed ON

manure; after which they are filed
with light garden loan. TIE soil Is
then packed down with q "tamper,"

About Ave seeds are planted in each

perature of about 50 degrees in .he
daytime and GO to 20 degrees at night.
One of the most serious difficulties
is caused by the ''damping of" fun
gus. When afflicted with this trouble.
the plants wilt down during periods OF
closdy weather soon after the seed
leaves develop. Occasionally the treus
bEe appears befere thdt time. The
fungus is promoted by lack OF ventila-
ton and sunshine and by oYerwater-
ing. BY watering carefully, ventilat-
ing freely and keeping up the heat
during cloudy periods it Is checked.
The disease may also be appreclably
prevented by spraying the plants and
soil with potassium sulphide, using
enc ounce dissolved in' three gallons Of
water Soil rich in vegetable matter
may be expected to encourage the dis
ease.
Melons grown under glass are started
late in April or early In May. Care
must be exercised il the seed is sown
CAREER TO keep the plants from becom-
ing drawn and "leggy" The house
grown plants are set on the warmest
site possible for the first crop. The site
should be chosen with due regard to
Immunity froM late frosts.
Ordinarily. in Niagara county the
plants are set out during the third or
fourth week of May. The house grown
plants are set very expeditiously. The
boxeS>containing the plants are distrib-
uted by man or boy and the plant set
by ansther. In mellow soil hole is
made with the hand, the box qHickly
torn apart and the cube Of earth with
plants pressed into the prepared hill.
1t is important that the soil should have
been thoroughly titled so that the nat
uyal moisture shall have been con-
served. When good surface tillage has
been given, wasering will be unneces-

The first sowing will BE- ready to cut
about Aug. 90 and the second the first
week in September. When cutting be-

tons of drys matter containing 5000
pounds OF aoeual dgestible material.
II corn is grown extensively upon the
farm, one planting of corn and beans
may be sufficient, the farmer prefer
ring TO feed from his field corn afrer the

varietle. of cowpen. For the North.

AS to the varieties of cowpeas hest
for the north The Rural New Yorker
says: 1t depends on what you want
them for. If for seed, the early va
reties like EARLY BLACK, New Era and
Mount Olive, should be psedE These
will usually produce seed as far north
as central New York, but we doubt
whether seed growing will pay. Fhe
chief value of the crop 30 the northern
farmer will be In the vine, to be used
as pasture or for plowing under. For
these purposes we advise the later VA
netles, such as Whippoorwill, Wonder
ful, Clay and Unknown. These Will
make large vines, but are not likely 10
mature seeds, although we lfave grown
seeds OF all except Unknown in north
ern New Jersey. We think 1t will pay
the northern farmer to buy seed of
these later varieties from the south
rather than to try to grow sesd of the
earlier varieties on his own farm, The
cowpea looks much like bean. though
it is unlike any true bean in cultivation
except that 1t Is very tender and must
not be planted sntil the ground Is
warm enough for corn.
