In order TO accommodate Confer
ence delegates who meet in Dover next
month, the Wilmington Conference
ton one week earlier. aud about seven
ty~five men will be entertained there.
This will be great help TO the enter
tainment committee. and the delegates
will be comfortably qrarterei in the
students rooms. Quite a number of
persons from this section expect to at
tend Conference.
In more respects than one the APP
preaching session of the Wilmington
Conference will be more interesting
than usual. Among other matters 10 be
considered is the amusement question.
In various parts of the country this sub
ject has been widely discussed by min
listers and laymen. and sentiment has
been created to a more liberal attitude
of the church toward worldly amuse-
ments, such as dancing, the theatre, card
playing. This question was preached in
the General Conference four years ago,
but no definite action on amendments
was taken. Inasmuch as the present
agitation presages that the amusement
question will occupy a prominent place
in the discussions of the next General
Conference, both lay aud annual con-
ferences of the Wilmington Conference
will take formal stand on the questio n
in Dover in March. Several members
Of this conference favor the movement.

ROCKFORD MuskmeIons.

The Rockford muskmelon, which is
now so extensively sold in the markets
of the United States, is simply the
Melted Gem variety as selected and
improved by growers in the region of
ROCKFORD, in the Arkansas Valley,
Colorado, where they are grown under
irrigation and where otherwise ideal
conditions apparently exist for the
production of melons of the highest
quality. The Rockyford variety is now
grown exclusively in other parts of
the United States, and probably a
large proportion of the melons sold in
eastern markets under this name are
derived from this source or are simply
the ordinary netted gem produced by
local growers. The true ROCKFORD
melon does not come into the market
in any quantity before the middle of
August.
According to p X. Blinn, of the Col
OradO station, a perfect ROCKFORD
cantaloupe should be Slightly over 4
inches in diameter and about 4 So
inches long; it should have silver-gray
netting that stands out like thick,
heavy lace, practically covering the
entire melon, save the well-defined
slate-colored stripes; these should run
the whole length of the melon, clear
cut as if grooved out with a round
chisel, and terminating at the blossom
and in a small button. The interstices
in the netting should be light olive
green, that turns slightly yellow when
the melon is ready for market.
The flesh should be thick and firm,
of a smooth texture, and free from
watery appearance, rich and melting
in flavor. The shipping and keeping
qualities depend largely on the solidity
of the melon, so the seed cavity should
be small and perfectly filled with seed.
The color of the flesh near the rind
should be salmon or orange in color.
The flesh is often notified with sal
mon, and not uncommonly the entire
flesh is of that color"

of them they will come through the
moult as bright as young birds.
If you can buy birds out of the yards
of a reliable breeder you can get big
bargains for your money, as he is
not using birds to breed from that are
of the ordinary quality known as
breeders. AS for ourselves we never
breed from a bird that we would be
ashamed to put in show room.
The popular fowl is not necessarily
better than the unpopular one. Tooth
pick shoes were the rage long since,
and l pinched my toes painfully to be
in the popular swim Now the tooth
picks have disappeared and the COM
mon sense toe is the popular shoe. So
with fowls. Popularity depends on a
voluminous spread of printers ink,
and things are boosted into popularity
that way.
Gull out as soon as possible all birds
that do not give promise that they will
develop into good birds for the show
room or breeding pen. Place these
in yards by themselves and feed them
to produce rapid growth and so to
get them on the market as early as
that there is more money in market
fowl to sell it before it reaches matur-
ity Of course this does not apply to
capons. By thus culling out the poorer
birds you will be able to keep your
flock up to the standard.
Perhaps you are preparing some
birds for the show ring. AS your
birds develop some will be noticed to
be especially fine ones. Study them
carefully now each day and select
out those that are good prospects for
the show room. Put them in pens by
themselves-only few in pen and
give them special care Do not feed
them too much corn or other fattening
foods, but such as will make bone and
muscle. What you want now is to
bring your birds up to the standard
weight without making them soft and
flabby. In order to produce beautiful
plumage they must be in perfect
health To keep them so, fat-forming
foods must be largely withheld.

Notes for Poultry Raisers.

If you have stock to sell, advertise
it, and if you want to buy any, buy
now, for those who have birds to sell
put a price on them that is not more
than half what you would have to pay
for the same birds next January.
Separate your cockerels from the
pullets now or as soon as you can be
sure of the sex. This is necessary if
you would secure the most rapid and
fullest development of both. Keep them
separate until the next breeding seas
on arrives.
At this time in the season there is
tendency to neglect the old stock.
Keep them clean; give plenty of fresh
water and lots of shade, also feed
some oil meal and beef scraps in the
mash, and if they have the blood back

Poultry that are subject to temper
allure of zero during the long winter
nights and conditions but little more
favorable during the daytime, require
an additional amount of food, rich in
carbonaceous or fat-forming elements,
through the agency of which normal
temperature is maintained. Produc-
ton and health are the offsprings OF
iudicious care and are the direct
source of profit in poultry culture, and
health is maintained to an almost I'M
limited degree by complying with nat
ure's laws While our poultry is sub
ject to the ravages of vermin and dis
ease, the result of which greatly les
sens our flocks each succeeding year,
we are usually able to trace the cause
of our loss to either ignorance or ne

always contended that there is more
disease and consequent death, as
result of ventilators, in our poultry
houses, we do not claim that there
should be no ventilators but do lay
claim to the long and we'll established
fact that a direct draft in poultry
house to which the fowls are subject,

without ventilator, if opened up and
aired out twice day, requires no 9th

My advice is to close the ventilator at
night during cold and damp weather.
In summer time the houses should not
be closed to become sultry and sicken-
