Mr.. Linton's Aphrodjte.

America, which exports it's native
beauties as wives for the European
aristocracy, has just imported Greek
Venus. The happy owner, Mr.. Linton
of New York, regards it as a master
piece of Praxiteles, and New York
society is worshipping at its feet. En-
vious critics, of course, throw doubts
on the antiquity of the statue, and re-
call the too-famous case of the tiara
of Saitapharnes, which, though really
a modern production, was bought by
the Louvre as an antique a few years
ago. Michael Angelo did not disdain
to hoax the connoisseurs of his day
by burying broken statue and allow
ing the friend who dug it up to sup
pose that he had found an antique
masterpiece, until the sculptor pre-
duced the missing limb in his own
studio. Perhaps some clever Italian
or Greek is hoaxing Mr.. Linton, for
less honest reasons.-London Chronl-

HOW TO SERVE ICES.

A charming way of serving ices at
child's party is to line common
flower pots, two inches and a half in
diameter at the top, with parafin pa
per, afterward filling nearly full with
ice cream. Sprinkle with grated
sweet chocolate to represent earth,
and stick a flower in the top.
Another pretty way is to make a
basket with four .adyfngers, cut
square at the ends, and fastened in
visibly with little wooden toothpicks
Tie a ribbon around the basket to
hold it firmly, and a flower on the
plate, and be sure that the ribbon and
the flower harmonic in color. Al
this season yellow ribbons and vel
low tulips, or green ribbons and white
narcissus, are especially pretty. A
little later apple blossoms and pink
ribbons will be delightful.

tive ways of sewing, proper taste sug

think two weeks longer than neces-
sary to keep the young turkeys con-
fined in the first place, though much
depends upon the weather. Their
pen or coop must be kept clean, and
there must be an untiring watch for

The best and easiest way to make
start in the raising of turkeys is
to buy couple of settings of eggs
from reliable poultryman or dealer
as early n the spring as possible, and
place them under common hens
which are known to be good settlers
When the eggs are Matched the
mother hen should be confined in a
close and rather well-sheltered pen,

couple of weeks old the hens may be
allowed to take her brood on the

turkeys are a month old they may be
given perfect freedom if the weather
is favorable. They may be given
cracked wheat in addition to their
other food and will need but little
further attention Turkeys thrive
much better if allowed to roost in the
open end expensive poultry houses
are not necessary. April and May
are the best months for Matching tur-

MONEY IN MELONS.

Although not a professional grower,
| have had considerable experience in
raising melons for home use to raise
and profitable. The land selected was
rich, blacky sand, loan which had
been used for a pasture. While the
land was new very little fertilizer was
needed, but after two or three crops
had been taken about twenty loads of
manure per acre were plowed under,
and a shovelful of well rottted manure
and a handful of bone meal mixed
with the soil of each hill. The ground,
which was sheltered on the north by a
hill, was plowed in the fall, cross
plowed in the spring, and well har-
rowed. When the weather was warm
enough to plant corn, the ground was
furrowed out, six feet apart each way
for watermelons, and four or five
seeds planted in each hill. We found
it better to take the chance of losing
the first planting by frost than to de-
lay until all danger was past, for the
profit in crop of melons depends on
the time of marketing.
AS the rough leaves appear, the
plants were thinned to three in hill,
and the ground cultivated thoroughly
till the vines began to run; then the
tips of the vines were pinched OF to
branches which bear the fruit. When
we had a fine early stand of melons,
and there was prospect of frost, we
covered the hills with pieces of paper,
held in place by chunks of earth, or
old berry boxes.
The enemies with which we had to
contend were the cutwOrm, the squash
bug, and the striped beetle. The green
lice that are found On the under side
of the leaf seldom troubled the vines,
and when they did appear they were
quickly disposed of by burning the
leaves on which they were found. To
destroy cut worms we mixed bran
with molasses or sweetened water,
added a little Paris green, and placed
some of the mixture near the young
plants as soon as they came througA
the ground. For The squash bug we
sprinkled the vines with gypsum. or
plaster, and renewed when it was
washed off by rain. Ashes or air
slaked lime will do, but are apt to in
jure the vines. The striped beetle
lays its egg on the stem near the
ground, and the small grubs go down
and feed on the roots. Strong tobac-
co water around the stem when the
beetles are first seen, and again in q
few days, will settle these pests. 1t
may be necessary to repeat the treat
ment of the vines begin to wilt.
Our market (besides our own table,
was a town of four thousand inhabi-
tants, and the kinds that suited our
customers best were Coles Early and
Sweetheart watermelons, and Early
Hackensack, Melted Gem, Miller's
Cream, and Rocky Ford muskmelons.
When the curl and small left next to
the stem are dead, and the fruit gives
a dull sound when thumped, you may
be reasonably sure that the water
melon is ripe. The indications of
ripeness in the musk melon are the
fragrant odor, the softness of the BIOS
som end. and the ready parting of the
stem. We did not make a fortune
growing melons, but after mistakes
and mishaps were reckoned with the
profit was more than 500 ali acre.

The Number of Presidents.

mistakes made in well-infOrmed
quarters" said a thoughtful man
Here is Boston paper which calmly
remarks that Mr. Theodore Roosevelt

idential term. The facts are thus
stated: The first Presidential term be-
gan March 4, 1889, though the Presi-
dent was not actually inaugurated till
April 80. On March 4, 1905, twenty
nine terms of four years each were
completed and the thirtieth term be-
gan. AS to the separate individuals
who have held the Office of President
of the United States, they are, in their
order, Washington, John Adams, JEFF
ferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy
Adams, Jackson, Van Buren,, William
Henry Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor,
Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln,
Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield,

and no more OF these nine have been
elected for second term; but two,
Lincoln and Mckinley, were killed
soon after the second term began,
Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur
became President without having been
elected to that Office, and each served

MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.

1t is we'll known that wet land will
produce only a few classes of aquatic
or semi-aquatic plants, and yet the
success of farming depends upon the
retention of moisture in the soil. This
apparent contradiction is not very
well understood by the mass of farm
ers. The ordinary farm crops will not
gov in soil that contains water-they
will not grow in soil that does not
contain water We must draw the line
between the sufficiency and the ex-
cess. And another marked feature is
the fact that generally the excessively
wet ground soonest becomes Excess
sivly dry.
Hence the ideal soil for cultivation
and for growing our important field
crops is that which soonest throws of
all excess of water and longest retains
the quantity which we call moisture.
The value of understanding is an aid
to this very thing. The fact that there
is a channel beneath the surface ever
ready to carry off the water after it
has pecolated through from the sur
face, keeps all the ground above the
drain porous so that the excess OF
water may readily find it's way through
to the drains, and, being porous, the
particles catch and hold minute drops
and thus retain moisture.
Deep blowing and keeping the land
constantly stirred has this same eff
feet, and that is the chief value OF
what we call cultivation. But clay
lands that have been long run to Gull
tivated crops lose their humus, de-
cayed and decaying vegetable matter
whose particles hold the earth par
ticles apart. and make the ground por-
Gus, and such land runs together as a
result of each wetting. The moisture
then quickly dries out and the crops
can not grow.
In such case, it is up to the farmer
to restore the humus to the soil and
make it porous again as IL was origi-
nally from the forest leaves and the
decaying roots and stems of the plants
of ages. This indicates the turning
under of green crops, and perhaps the
farmer has no surer and better means
of restoring the Productivity OF his
fields than turning under succession
of growths whether green or ripened.
The object is not SO much to add fer
tility as to restore the humus, to make
the ground porous so that it will read
lily give off the excess of water, but
retain with a giint's grasp the small
particles that COZ stitute moisture. For
this purpose the clovers and all the
legums are the most vah.sble, but any
vegetable growths that will decay
within the soil are valuable-Up-to-
Date Farming.
