kind of vine fruit, says Denver Field
and Farm. The melons should be So
lected Of the right shape, deeply and
roughly netted, from those weighing
from one and one-half to two pounds,
never to exceed two pounds, with small
seed cavity and thick meated. About
one-third of the bloom end of the mel
on should be discarded, as it will be no.
ticed that the seeds in the bloom are
very much smaller than In the middle
of the melon, the same as the grains in
the tip of an ear of corn are smaller
than In the middle A good and safe
plan is to select one melon as near per-
lection as possible. the right size and
shape, netting perfect, discard the
seeds in the bloom end and plant these
seeds by themselves in some remote
part. of the farm. SO as to be sure there
Is 10 mixing or contamination with
other vines. Raise seeds from this one
melon for general planting and do this
every year to keep the stock up to per
lection

it is found in our great educational in

difference in the frequent changing of
mixers. Tracy found by good mixer
following a careless one an increase
with five cows of 244 pounds of milk
in two weeks.
Cows fed at milking time are apt to
hold their milk when the customary
feed is withheld. This may occur even
when the animals have access to abun-
dant pasture. This is so noticeable
with some of the station cows that il
is advisable to give them little grain
through the summer season to induce
them TO give down their milk. Emery
notes that COW that gave over seven
pounds of milk gave only two pounds
