Tho Rocky Ford Melon Business


Rocky Ford Melons occupy the top
place in the melon market, and the
name Rocky Ford" guarantees their
sale. or course nobody-especially
people in the eastern counties OF the
Territory-would ever believe that
Rocky Ford Melons grow in Beaver
county. Nevertheless it is fact that
from two to five car loads of such mel
ons are shipped out from this county
every day This has been going on for
several weeks, and will continue for
several weeks to come. These melons
are Grated and marked: Rocky Ford
Melons, from Rocky Ford, Colorado"
Now il you don't believe this state
ment write to the station agent at
Guymon or at Liberal for information.
The melons raised and shipped from
Beaver county are superior in size and
and quality to anything Of the kind
ever produced at Rocky Ford.

The Care of CABBAGE.

To have success with cabbage 1t
takes very careful attention at this
time of the year. The green cabbage
worms are its worst enemy, as they
are eggs one day and worms the next.
The cabbage should be examined al
most every day. If any worms be
found pick them very carefully and be
sure to find all of them. Then use
white heiebore-it can be bought at
any drug store. To one gallon OF cold
water take one teaspoonful Of hele-
bore and sprinkle the cabbage thor
oughly with mixture. Open up the lit
tie inner leaves so the mixture will
get on all the leaves. There is no
danger of poison if it be entirely dis
solved as the heads form from the in
side.
The spider is also to be watched and
is hard to handle. for if it is not killed
1t goes to other heads. Examine the
heads and if webs are found spider
is not far away. Kill it if possible,
then clean away the web. Break off
the large under leaves so the sun can
shine all around the plants. Taking
off the big leaves gives more nourish-
ment to:the heads and leaves no hid
ing place for insects.
8 A little salt sprinkled on the heads
makes them crisp, but this must not
be done when the sun is shining hot
on them, as the salt will burn the cab
bage. Early in the morning or after
the sun goes down is the best time to
make this application.-Cor. Michigan
Farmer.

Everybody in the Land of the chrys'

From time immemorial the bath tub
has been an honorable institution in
Japan. Instead of a cold dip In the
morning, the Japs take thier baths
hot in the afternoon. at about s
o'clock, and, beginning at 100 de
grees, the tendency is to raise the
temperature as one becomes acclim'
ated, so to speak. One traveller tells
Of the Kawarayn bathers, who stay in
the tub several weeks at time with
stones in their laps to keep their bod.
les from floating while they are
asleep.
The usual thing is to have the tub
on the lawn with charcoal fire be.

water at SO degrees and sit in 1t until
1t reaches 100 degrees. At this point

usually has to get out, for it becomes
literally too hot for him. But, after a
year or two of practice. he can man.
age lis or 120 degrees. The Japs
themselves can enjoy bath even at
1913 degrees. -
A traveller tells an amusing tale OF
how he visited a Japanese friend On at
home day, and accepted the offer of q
bath on the. lawn. He got in when
the water was tepid and enjoyed it i'm.
mensely up. to 80 something. Just
as he was thinking Of getting out. his
friends wife and daughter put in an
appearance and, began to wash rice
at well near By. Now the regula'
tion bathing dress Of Japan is like q

Girls In Successful Whale Hunt.

A great whale hunt in Nesting Bay.
Shetland islands, came to an end the
other morning, after having lasted
twenty-four hours. The whales, which
numbered about sixty and were from
ten to, twenty-five feet in length. en-.
tered the bay. Next day q number OF
boats went out, their crews armed
with guns and other weapons. There
was scarcity Of hands, owing to
most of the men being away at the
fishing. but girls volunteered in large
numbers, and from their boats kept
the whales from escaping by throwing
stones. Forty whales were in turn
driven near shore and either shot or
harpooned.

Soil Problem.

/, | once stood in decided awe Of
."just plain garden soil" attempting
to provide the best conditions for ca
pricious plants. Florists had such an
aggravating way of putting on their
you Observation-Disclosures
told tone, and advising leaf mold for
certain plants, well dressed garden
soil for others, and sandy loam and
heavy clay soil, etc, for distinct yari-
eties; and I didn't dare expose my
ignorance by confessing that did not
know the meaning of foam" when ap.
piled to certain conditions of flower
bedfpreparation, and. could not desig.
nates:the different varieties even j.
! they should be placed before me. But
at last a practical young florist, with.
out a particle of condescension or ad.

summer planting and fertilizing; and
he taught ME more in few minutes
conversation than had learned dur.
ing hours of reading of puzzling treat.
ises on soil requirements. "This is
excellent. loan for rose growing" he
said on taking up a handful from the
freshly dug bed, and l timidly In
quired, "Wha. do the florists mean by
loam? They seem to give it certain
characteristics far beyond any diction,
ary definition" and he explained the
meaning in few words. IF the
greater part of soil consists of sand
and the smaller part Of clay. then IT
is called sandy loan, or il there is
a considerable. amount OF shale-
small particles Of clay.rock mixed with
clay-it is called a shaly loam. II
there is a large amount of clay and a
smaller proportion of sand it is called
clay soil or clay loan, and II the
amount Of sand is very small, then II
is characterized as heavy clay SOIL"
He then explained the preparation OF
leaf mold, by collecting the leaves
that fall from trees and shrubbery,
and piling them In some out OF the
way corner where dish water or wash
water may be thrown upon them,
with frequent covering Of layers Of
garden soil to hasten the rotting pro:
cess. Street sweepings from the paved
streets of suburban towns, or a little
stable manure If the flower garden Is
in the country, will add 10 the rich.
ness, and hasten the decaying; and a
pile of leaves thus gathered and mixed
during the summer and fall will form
the rich. dark, friable soil so desirable
for the next springs potting and mix.
