which other powers of Europe may

and the protection of the murderers
by the man who was the beneficiary
OF the assassination is too much for
civilization. King Edward will be re-
spected in all sections where decent
people thrive, for delivering this re-

sTIMULArINe MELoNs.

In the northern limits OF melon cu1-
ture 1t is desirable to so stimulate the
plants that they will produce fruit as
early as possible and this may be
done by constantly feeding the plants
during the whole season. Nitrate of
soda where ii can be got. Is a good
stimulant, and While it is pretty
costly way to supply the plants with
nitrogen it pays with as valuable a
crop as melons. Stable manure spread
over the surface Of the soil and work
ed in is good. and is is hardly possible
to overdo this kind Of fertilization.
especially II the plants can be watered
freely.
In cUltiyating melons OF any kind
do not disturb the vines more than is
absolutely necessary, as to do so re-
tards growth and makes them produce
smaller and later melons.

CITY AND COUNTRY.


We frequently hear about the "slav-
cry OF farm life True, farming if
properly attended to often means hard
work, and on some days long hours;
but II rightly and successfully man
aged it cannot be otherwise than a
labor of love, requiring the use Of
brains, of thought and study The
right kind of farmer masters the soil
with his head more than with his
hands. The city merchant, the store
clerk, the city iaborer generally--and
this includes physicians, teachers. pro
fessionals, and often millionaires-al
have far greater reason to talk about
the Slavery OF city life than the mod
ern farmer, who has no boss, is not
kept imprisoned for ten or twelve
hours day in dingy room, and
whose whole life is the most satisfac-
tory combination Of congenial work.
both of brain and hand, with perfeo-
ton independence. and the purest OF
life's pleasures and blessings, has no
reason to talk about the slavery of
farm life" Let us appreciate our ad-
vantages and make the most OF our
opportunities, rather than indulge in
such slurs ON our occupation as that
which is expressed in the absurd
phrase Slavery OF farm life"

Some of the advantages Of having
some of the mares drop their colts in
the fall is that the team need not be
so badly broken in the spring, or the
mares subject to too severe exertions
The colts can be weaned on grass and
so suffer the least from the change Of
food. and are out of the way when the
mares go to the field. AS the mare
usually does not have to work so hard
during the winter she can better
suclSle her colt.

The question has been discussed
considerable as to whether Angora
goats or sheep are the more profitable.
1t is idle to discuss this question, as
the profit from one or the other of
these will depend almost entirely on
the conditions under which they are
kept. When much brush is to be con
sumed, the goats will be found to
answer the purpose much the better OF
the two. On the other hand. If grass
pasture is to be grazed, sheep viii be
found more profitable than goats The
great matter in choosing the animals
is to choose them with a view to the
fitness for the place which they are
intended to fill.

Plank boards Tor horse stalls are
not a good investment. They wear
out too quickly Cement floors prop
eriy made with the proper slope are
preferable These floors should be
made little rough so as to hold the

It is well to remember that model
udder is usually an indication of a
good COW; however. an ideal udder or
an extremely large udder is occasion
ally found attached to very ordinary
COW. A well-balanced udder with we'll
placed teats is as good an indication
as abnormal size, as size does not
always indicate quality. As COW
ages her udder usually becomes long
err even though she gives no more
milk than formerly, hence the age OF
the COW should be considered when
giving credit to the size of her udder.
We also remember that the udder
neither indicates quality of milk nor
persistency in milking.
