Having tested all the different kinds
OF tree labels now in use, have never
found any so simple and perfect as
small glass bottles. | have used these
for several years in the nursery and
field and found them satisfactory in
every way. as the whole record of the
tree can, by their means. be preserved.
MY attention was first directed to the
bottle as a useful label by seeing one
that was picked up on the shore that
contained written memoranda. It had
been in the water for years and still
the paper was sound and readable
Labels made from such material as
copper, tin. zinc and wood do not keep
well In this climate they are greatly
affected by the salt air. Copper. with
the name stunned through Il With
steel stamps does very well where a
record OF tho names only H. needed
use the label by first placing the
record in the bottle, then I put In the

finger about one and one-half inches
leep, drop a seed therein, sprouted end
down and cover gently. Two, or at
most three, sprouted seed are enough
for a hill. If the ground is sufficiently
warm the plants will soon be up.
Sprouted seed should not be planted in
a cold soil
Some years ago l had nineteen seed
of a choice melon. l sprouted them,
planted the sprouted ends down and
procured seventeen plants.
While the plants are small, they
should be thinned ito one or at most
two plants to a hill. Some old melon
growers are in favor of one plant.
While the plants are small, an addi-
tional half pound of fertilizer may be
applied to each hill and worked in as
aforesaid. The fertilizer can now be
applied close to the plants without in
jury. l have thus at two applications
used a pound to a hill with excellent
results, and never saw any injurious
effects by reason of the quantity used.
1t is generally conceded that COM
mercial fertilizers produce melons of
finer flavor than other manures, hence
the necessity for using them.
1t is deemed best to cultivate melon
vines fast until they commence rum
ming, and thenceforth not move them
The crust however, can be advantag-
eously broken after every rain by a
long narrow blade passed gently be-
meath the vines, until the first crop of
melons get half grown, or even larger
l have worked them thus with fine re-
suits.
Bad Effects of Thinning Il believe
that melon vines should not be thinned
after they have attained considerable
size-run two or three feet. The past
season / drew a vine from each OF
two hills that contained three plants
The vines left, dwindled and did nc
good while those in the immediate
vicinity continued to flourish I be-
lieve that the roots left in the ground
did the damage. Therefore, when
necessary to thin, believe the plants
should be dug up, thus procuring all
the roots, possible, and that the plants
should then be removed from the
ground.
If mole cut vine that has run SIX
or eight feet, causing it to die, every
vine that crosses a branch of the dead
vine will soon become affected, and the
disease may spread over the entire
patch 1t is well known that water
melons cannot be successfully grown
two years in succession on the same
land; the dead vines and roots appear
to affect the next crop.

In the first place get good stock. I
favor the Bronze, because they are so
healthy, and weigh heavier at six or
seven months than any other breed.
The first day they hatch they do not
need to be fed. and the next day I cook
an egg, beat it up, and add a little milk
and cook it in pan till it thickens;
this is fed about every three hours. and
one egg will feed thirty turkeys the
first day. If the weather is damp add a
little black pepper to the egg custard
After three or four days l feed on corn
batter bread: l pint corn meal, l pint
sour milk, egg and one teaspoon level
full of soda beat in soda last and bake
in creased tin or bread pan; this ration
is fed softened with sweet milk or clab-
Der until three weeks old, and then I
leave off the eggs, but always put soda
in my corn bread, as the bread the least
bid sad is fatal to turkeys. If it isn't
right feed to chickens, but cook an
other pan full for the turkeys. A little
grain, kafflr corn, sorghum or wheat is
good after two or three weeks. Mine

They usually rum i'm the coop during

The coop should be moved every three
