A Timely Suggestion.

This Is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful house wife re-
plenishes her supply Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when 1t is kept at hand and
given as soon as the cold is contracted
and before 1t has become settled in the
system, In almost every instance a
severe cold can be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as the first indica-
ton Of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving it to children for It
contains no harmful substance. 1t is
pleasant to take-both adults and chill
dren like it. Buy it and you will get
the best. 1t always cures. For sale

some Noise and a Banquet.

The approval OF the Cornell agricul-
tural hall bill by Governor Odell of
New York state was made the occa-
sion for a celebration on the part of
the students of the university and the
friends of the measure. Church bells
were rung and whistles blown through
out the city of Ithaca, N. Y, and the
student body turned out in full to eel
citrate the event. 1t is estimated that
there were 5000 people on the campus
in the evening watching an immense
bonfire and the display of fireworks
which followed All departments Of
the university were represented by
floats, with farming machinery and
live stock much in evidence. 1t was a
novel feature of the programme. A
banquet was spread in the armory at a
later hour, at which everything served
on the table was grown on or taken
from the university farm. Covers We're
spread for 800 guests. Several state
grange officers were present, and at
the close. of the banquet the agricul-
tural students presented Professor L.
III. Bailey with loving cup.

The New Jersey experiment station
several years ago made experiments to
determine whether it is more econom-
ical to grind corn, cob and all, for milk
COWS than to feed ear corn. In this
experiment one COW was fed twelve
days ear corn that had been run
through feed cutter, and another was
fed corn and cob meal This process
was then reversed, giving each COW
the other form of grain. The yield Of
milk on the corn and cob meal ration
was 90 per cent greater than with the
ear corr, while the yield of butter fat
was 40 per cent greater Breeders

GROWING MuSKMELONS.
The Industry ON the Increase-Points
Of Culture In Various Regions.

The Industry ON the Increase-Points
of Culture In yarious Regions.
Only about one-third as much land is
devoted to muskmelon culture in the
United States as to watermelons, but
the area devoted to it is rapidly in
creasing. Owing to its smaller growth
the muskmeIon is more easily grown in
northern localities than the watermel
on. New Jersey leads in acreage, fol-
lowed by Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Ma
ryland, Virginia, Arkansas and Colo
RADIO
Successful muskmelon growers in
Niagara county, N. Y, secure their
early melons by starting the plants Ell
Their in the hotbed or greenhouse late
in April or early in May and trans
planting to the field when all danger
from frost is past. usually during the
third or fourth week in May. Trans
planted melons usually produce the
bulk of their crop somewhat in adj
vance Of the field soWn crop, and the
advantage obtained in price is usually
more than enough to counterbalance
the extra expense of growing the
plants under glass and transplanting.
Melons for the late crop are almost
entirely grown from seed planted
where the crop is to mature. In field
seeding ten to fifteen seeds are dropped
in each hill Gin the soil of which fork
full of manure or a handful of CONNER
cial fertilizer has been worked and
lightly covered After danger from in
sect and other pests is past all the
plants are removed except four or FIVE
of the strongest
Sometimes instead Of planting the
seeds in hills they are sown in rows
five 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
emmends spreading barnyard manure
along the rows and thoroughly incor-
porating it in the soil by horse cukiya-
tors. This does away with the hand
work of forking the manure into each
separate hill and seems to give fully as
good results.
The field culture of muskmelons is
practically the same whether the plants
are first started under shelter or wheth-
er the seeds are sown in the field di-
rect. and it consists of thorough cult
walton in the early part of the season
before the vines become long enough
to interfere with this work.
