Melons for the late crop are almost
entirely grown from seed planted

plants are removed except four or ave
of the strongest.
Sometimes instead Of planting the
seeds in hills they are sown in row rs
i've to seven feet apart, and the plants
are thinned to stand about two feet
apart in the row. When thus planted
commercial fertilizers may be sown
along the rows with drill at the time
Of seeding. The Arkansas station rec
ommends spreading barnyard manure
along the rows and thoroughly incor.
porating it in the soil by horse cultiva'

WatermelOns For Winter.

Watermelons are had at Christmas
in Georgia by selecting a thick rind
variety, planting late in June, han
ding carefully when pulled and stor-
ing on some dry yielding substance,
like cottonseed hulls, in a cool cellar
where the temperature is uniform and
can never drop below freezing. Some
of the choicest melons grown in the
south are such poor shippers that they
never reach the northern markets and,
in fact, never leave the farm. Lord
Bacon, Kolb Gem and Augusta Rattle
snake, so largely grown for Shipment
are distinctly inferior in quality to
many other varieties, but they have
tough, thick rinds, which enable. them
to reach market in better condition
than the choicer thin rind varieties.

American blight In the eastern con-
tinent because Of its destructiveness,
is a small plant louise, either winged or
wingless, and having the body covered
with delicate, filmy, wool-like coat
which projects in a brush beyond the
rear end Of the body. Apple lice were
so bad in Montana last season in their
effect on young orchards as to be very
discouraging to the apple growers.
R. H. Petit Of Michigan advises to
dip all young stocks in hot water Q3O
F.) or in tobacco water before setting
out new orchards. Kerosene emulsion,
diluted to the ordinary strength for
summer spraying, will also answer. A
liberal use Of tobacco dust or wood
ashes about trees will help to restrict
the lice. For the aerial lice on the limbs
a spray of kerosene, ten times diluted
and forcibly, applied, is recommended.
Mr.. Petit says trees grated on North
ern Spy stock have been found very
! resistant to woolly aphis.
Professor Slingerland has recorded
the year 1903 in New York as noted for
an excessive and unprecedented devel-
cpment of plant lice on both shade and
fruit trees Apples, ounces, .plums,
pears and cherries were 50 badly in
fected that the trees in many cases
were permanently injured. Apple and
sweet cherry stocks suffered most.
Sour cherries, besides badly injured
| sweet varieties, were not touched. But
the most surprising and destructive
work Of these little pests was in large
bearing orchards in western New
York. The young fruits were swarm
ing with lice, which had stunted their
growth and in some cases given the
fruits misshapen, knotty appearance
Ore large apple buyer stated in the au
tumn that it was very difficult to pack
good stock in the infested orchards
One grower reported his crop reduced
one-half by the lice. Many young or
chards were treated several times witt
the oil and soap mixtures with good
success when the work was thorough.

PRESIDENT OF De PAUW
OCCUPIES CITY PULPIT
DR.. Edwin Holt Hughes Says the
True Christian Is the
Natural Man.
MEN MUST GROW WEARY

The pulpit of the Central-avenue NJ z.
Church was occupied yesterday morning BY
DR.. Edwin Holt Hughes, president of De
Paw University. DR.. Hughes selected for
his theme THE Naturalness of the Chris
tan Life" In part he said: Men are not
prone to think of the Christian life as nat
ural They may regard the faith as true,
or beautiful, or useful; but they do not
often speak of it as being natural. Hence
it is not topic of ordinary conversation.
Even if we do speak of it we are apt TO
change the tone of the voice. Now, it
needs no argument to show that the pre-
vailing notion is bad. 1t puts the presump-
ton against us. The faith is at an enor-
nous disadvantage if at the outset men
regard it as unnatural
This notion has arisen in part from an
unfortunate translation in the New Testa-
nfent. Spiritual and Natural are set
against each other. Hence we are in
clined to suppose that if spiritual and nat
ural are opposed, then the spiritual is un-
natural A verbalism is thus seen to work
translated 'sensuous' instead of natural
much misconception would have been
avoided.
Therefore. it is well for us to consider
the naturalness of the Christian life II
religion is to be considered food that is
one thing. If it is to be considered medi-
cine that is quite another thing. Between
these two views there stretches an amazing
distance.
The Christian life is natural in its
terms. Repentance as not an arbitrary
rule chosen for mans humiliation. Ii is
rather a universal law of progress Men
must become weary of the limitations of
their lives ere they can improve. This is
true OF business, true of knowledge as
well as of religion. So il is with faith
Men must not only be tired of the imper-
feet thing. but they must believe i'm the
better things ere they will seek it, Given
repentance and faith. the effort at con-
version always follows. Its precise nature
we need not now debate. Ali these laws
have their touch of popularity i'm the re-
hslous realm; yet the essence of the laws
applies universally.
The Bible allows a full scope for this
view. Genesis represents mans natural
state as in communion with God our
first parents banished the natural life In
tended for the garden, they banished them
selves TO the desert. The New Testament
gives the same truth. Humanity i'm its
natural state is made the model of the
Saviors kingdom. Our instincts approve
this view also. We regard drunkenness
anger and cruelty unnatural Indeed
We call such things inhuman. If the most
of us would only go back to the fresh and
dewy faith of childhood, we would go bacI.
to Christ and back to our natural selves
So We read that the prodigal in correcting
simply came TO himself Ii will be 50
with all of us. The man who is the true
Christian is the natural man. He is in his
place and is meeting the purpose OF his
being

of the growing regard in which women doc

DR.. Ethel Vernon occupied a good deal of
space in the London papers recently, show
ing the rareness of prejudice there. DR..
Vernon was appointed to fill a vacancy in
the staff of the Western Dispensary, West
minister. but her appointment was Cancelled
at the end of six weeks because the honor
airy consulting surgeon, a man of high
standing in the profession, resigned rather
than serve with woman. 1t was frankly
admitted that DIR. Vernon's qualifications
were higher than the mans whose name
had been proposed for the appointment
that she was very popular with the rest
OF the staff and with the patients and the
board of governors came in for considera BILE
criticism from medical men. The consult
