A PERFECT ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE-
full crop, and by this / mean to allow
from six to eight weeks of ripening sea-
son. says correspondent of Orange
Judd Farmer In describing the growing
Of melons. After touching upon plant
ing he says: / use two row, pivot
wheel cultivator with which to do most
of the horse cultivating and begin as
soon as the melons are planted. not
waiting for the plants to come up.
Careful tests have proved that one
cultivation a week will develop twice
as much available nitrogen as compar-
ed with one cultivation in two weeks
Cultivate deep and get farther away
from the hills as the vines grow, as the
roots grow as fast as the vines. | keep
the cultivator going as long as | can
get through the field, using nine tooth
cultivator drawn by one horse to finish
the work, SO that within few days
after the last plowing the vines cover
the ground.
The first handwork should be done
with q rake three or four days after
planting and consists of lightly raking
the surface Of each hill, taking care not
to go deep enough to disturb the seed.
This hinders the grass or weeds and
enlivens the soil. The first hoeing is
done as soon as the plants are well up
and should be very thorough. The
plants should first be thinned out 80
that six to eight remain, and leave
them about two inches apart. Stir the
soil thoroughly around the hill and
draw fresh mellow earth up to the bot
tom leaves of the plants.
The grower must then water lightly,
after which the burrows are plowed in
and must be made again for each sue
cessive watering until the last plowing.
when they must be carefully plowed
out and left for future waterings. The
second hoeing is done when the plants
have four to six leaves, and at this
time the hills are thinned to two plants,
taking care to select the strongest,
standing well apart. The hoeing Is
done the same as before.
Care must be taken not to water too
often, as the plant gets into the habit
Of looking for surface moisture and
starts no long taproots, while IL forced
to go down after the moisture it be-
comes much more hardy and produces
q firmer melon of better quality.
The third and last hoeing Is done
when the vines average about eighteen
inches long and can be easily lifted
with the left hand while the soil Is
stirred about two inches deep and
drawn to the roots with light hoe In
the right hand.
Early In the season IL bothered by
the small striped beetle we dust the
plants with fresh slaked lime by put
ting small quantity in a loosely WOW
en- burlap sack and shaking 1t over the
hills. If bothered later by the melon
louse, I saturate the affected hills with
kerosene and then spread straw over
them and burn all the lice.
The vines must not be pulled, as the
lice will drop Off on other vines and
then continue to spread. In order to be
able to destroy these at once when they
appear 1t Is quite necessary to look
after all of the field at least twice q
week.

It is courting danger to stand under

to their cost. Every winter injury and
even death are reported as the result Of
this carelessness. But there is far
more popular way Of counting danger.
Every man or woman who neglects a

THE LIFE OF MOSES.
The First of Miss Blodgett's Two Lessons on
the Great Patriarch,

At the usual place yesterday afternoon
Miss Blodgett gave the first of her two
lessons on the life of Moses. She said
that four lessons had to be crowded into
two, or she must needs pass rapidly over
all but the most important thoughts She
touched but briefly on the times in which
the great law-giver was born and the
peculiar incidents of his babyhood He
was saved from death and given the pc
culiar training in the powerful court of
Pharaoh. But after forty years of this
study, learning and earthly glamor,
Moses deliberately chose to leave the
palace, refusing to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter, and casting his lot
with the children of Israel in oppression
rather than to dwell in the tents of wick
edness for a season. He saw how small
and insignificant were the glories of the
world when he beheld Him who is invisi-
BILE.
In his choice, Moses lost the compan-
ions of the palace to gain the fellowship
of God-he lost mayhap the beauty for
which he was noted, but to have his
face shine with the dazzling glory of God.
He lost all hopes of ascending the throne
of Egypt, but to stand before it and
Hdke the IHOndTCn thereon ITeHlDIe.
After Moses fully made the choice
he felt that he was the deliverer of his
suffering people, and, like many others,
he determined to deliver them in his own
way. This led him to Stay the Egyptian
who was beating the Isrealites. But af-
ter the act was co.. mitted what had
Noses accomplished? He had slain one
Egyptian and in no way lghtened the
burden Of oppression.
Thus it is the that we in our weak
ness, attempt to do something. Yet after
all we can do is done, how small and
useless it is. Like Moses we turn from
our little works locking this way and
that either from fear or for appreciation.
1t is not our work but what we do in
carrying out Gods plans that accom-
plishes that which is worth accomplish
ing.
After this deed Moses fled to the will
derness, there to labor for forty years.
He must have wondered if God, after all,
was not to use him for His peoples de-
liverance. 1t was only that Moses might
learn self-distrust and perfect trust in
God.
When he had fully learned that God
appeared to him again, calling him to
take up his work Moses conscience
was completely gone and he asked Who
am II" God did not care for the humility
that is but pride, but in Moses case He
was we'll pleased. So often now people
in false humility ask What am l to do
there" and again, 81 can't do it," AS in
Moses case God asks, who thought you
could 10 it?it is not you but l, who work
through you" Education, equipment for
work and outward advantages are not to
be dispised nor lightly thrown aside, but
all these without God are as naught.
Could Moses with his powers and knowl-
edge have rolled back the Red Sea-
Then God promises Moses the neces-
sary power and equipment for his work
and calls him back to his people. Be-
fore they scoffed but now they bow to
him as their deliverer.
