A yellow color however slight,

The most trou blesome disease
of canteloupes is leaf blight,
which begins as small brownish
spots upon the foliage, the whole
leaf finally dying. Spray ing

of S1.9S per acre. The Bordeaux

rotation of crops are advised.

Education and Ignorance.

In the Dairyman of Jan. %,
page 1888, you ask the good read
ers what ails these COW farmers
who DOR want to learn. Just
this-ignorance, Indifference and
lack of gray matter.
Among all classes, are people
who unhappiiy for themselves
disregard knowledge, who have
ing little or no information are
content to live and labor under
every disadvantage. They nev-
er equal nor rise above their fell
low men, for as neither pleasure
nor profit can be derived from
them, they are compelled to la
Dor with strong application OF
physical force, but none of mind,
The least intelligent among the
lowest scale of farmers is sure to
think he is the best of all farmers
and that his multitudious mis-.
takes and. .mishaps are owing not
to his lack of skill or knowledge,
but tothe circumstances in which
he is placed. He holds books
and book farming in utter c,u-
tempt. Professors AID gentle
men farmers, who milk and feed
with pen and ink in sumptiously
furnished Office, can neither
teach him nor cater to his. needs,
which, God knows, are many.
He has no idea of business
methods and no inclination to
learn. His experience of 20, 80,
or 40, years is conclusive evidence
that he knows that money maxi
ing along dairy lines is a delusion
and a snare. He never weighed
a quart of milk or feed in his life
and never will, but his knowledge
on dairy topics is freely dispensed
from the top of a dry goods box
in the village store, while bis COWS,
if they have life enough in them,
are bawling for bundle of dry
corn stalks or a little straw.
He does not know that the
successful man of today, be he
farmer or merchant, is ever on
the alert to increase his business

seed required by an acre is about

Of the best quality.
Several fer tilizer experiments

to the, recommendation of the
following formula for sandy land
in the southern part of the State;
8 per nt'phosphoric acid; 7 per
cent. potash. 3 to 4 per cent. nj

the use of 1000 pounds of cotton
seed meal. For middle and

amounts of muriate of potash and
cotton seed meal, about. 1900
pounds of acid lphosphate tie
added. The. fertilizer should be
applied'scveral weeks in advance
of planting, except nitrate of
soda, which . may be uapplied
during'growth. The"amount OF
the formulas recommended. i to
be used is six to eight hundred
pounds per acre.
In he.fertilizer tests the rows
were six feet apart with single
plants four feet apart in the
rows. In an experiment to test
the best distance, one, two, three
and four plants per hill were
left. The largest melons were
made with single plants in the
hills, and this was considered
better than thicker planting. 1t

SYMPATHY CHARGED.

It then states that the bricklayers are
in thorough sympathy with the striking
street car men. and that the said brick
layers malciously conspired together to
do the plaintiffs a wanton injury. which
was accomplished thus: Each Of the de-
PENDANTS simultaneously notified the con-
tractor for whom he was working. that
II the contractor used any OF Sftterdings
lime he would quit work. knowing very
we'll that II he did the contractor would
be unable to get other bricklayers and
would therefore be unable to perform
his contract and would probably be
ruined; that the purpose OF this was
to intimidate Sitterding and make him
use his influence with the street car COM
pany to make 1t yield to the demands Of
the strikers. That their malicious and
unlawful action has caused the contrac-
tors to stop buying lime and other build
ing material from the said plaintiffs.
and have prevented the sale of much OF
the material. which the contractors would
otherwise have bought.
