THE CHURCH DEBT REDUCED.
Financial Report of Catholic Church
at Salina Is Good.


Yesterday Father Maher read his
annual financial report OF the Catholic
church of this city The report was
better than could have been expected
of the congregat ton and shows that
the church debt has been nearly wiped
out.
on the first of last year the total in
debtednes of the church was $4,000.
on the first of this year the indebt-
edness was $4,700. This latter amount
viii be wiped out by the congregation
during this year
The expenses of maintaining the
church during the year are heavy but
tn csc expenses where kept paid up de-
spite the fact that the congregation
reduced the church debt by $500.
Already over $1,000 has been SUB
scrfbed to help pay off the balance, the
regular church money during the year
will pay off a least 81, 500 more.
When the debt on the church has
been cleared, work viii commence on
the many improvements contemplated
by the Catholic people in this city. 1t
is probable that one of these will be a
handsome academy or school building.

Game Of California.

There are few, if any, of the states
of the Union that have such diver
sity of game as California. There is,
however, one of the game birds dear
to all sportsmen found in the East
and Middle West that California has
not-the elegant and gamy prairie
chicken (Tmpanuchus americanus).
Why this bird does not thrive here
do not know. Many attempts have
been made to introduce it, but with
out success. The same may be said
of the Eastern quail, the plump and
saucy Bob White. The California quail
valley quail, as it is called here, is an
attractive little creature, not so large
and "chesty'' as the Bob White, built
on somewhat more slender lines ana
of family blush tint Its head is
ornamented with a plumeslike top
knot of about an inch in length.
There is no daintier, prettier bird. All
the pictures l have ever seen repre-
sent this top-knot as standing upright.
AS matter of fact, when the bird is
quiet is falls forward over the bill,
floating backward during Tight. IL is
capable, however, of erection when
excited or alarmed. Its call has not
the clear cut, decided tones of the
Bob White and sounds somewhat like
the words Look out, there; look out,
there" as pure contralto voice as
perhaps bird ever has.
Anyone who has ever hunted this
little fellow will bear witness to his
gamy qualities. He is, in my opinion.
a much more difficult bird to kill than
his Eastern cousin. His flight is fully
as rapid, and his skill in putting shell
ter between himself and the hunter
can not be excelled. These quails
often pass the night in trees, which, /
think, the Eastern quail does not

MoNTREAL's FAMOUS MELONS.

Crop Limited and Each One Number
ed-Bring as Much as So Apiece.
The average New Yorker accustom-
ed to the small melon that grows in
Jersey and Connecticut knows little
about the possibilities of the canta-
loupe unless fortune leads him to
some restaurant during the weeks in
which the famous Montreal melons
may be had, writes the Montreal (Ca-
nada) correspondent of the New York
Sum-
The Montreal melon might be call
ed a thing of beauty and JOY for
ever if it would only continue to grow
all summer. In the first place 1t Is
from three to six times the size OF
the ordinary melon and it excels its
smaller brother in taste and flavor as
much as it does in size.
In all about 5000 of these luscious
fruits find their way into the dining
rooms of a few New York hotels every
summer. Every one of them is mark
ed and numbered and every one is
contracted for early in the spring.
The man who is accustomed to buy
ing a Rocky Ford melon for Is cents
would shy at the prices paid for
these products of Canada. They COM
mand from so to 70 cents here and
double that amount in New York.
Sometimes they may be found in
small numbers at the best fruit
stores, retailing at as much as So
each.
The limited supply accounts for the
price, and as the years go on they
bid fair to become more and moro
expensive until they pass out of exist
ence like the dodo. The growth OF
the city will be responsible for the
calamity. Already it is fast encroach-
ing ON Outremont, suburb back OF
Mount Royal, where the soil and the
heat form an ideal combination for
the growth of the melon. The de-
mand for building lots has already
caused the destruction of scores of
orchards from which not so many
years ago the world got its La Fam
euse applies.
There are La Fameuse apples now,
but any one of the old timers Will
tell you that they are nothing at all
like the fruit that grew on the trees
on the other side of the mountain.
The number of Montreal melons is
likewise growing smaller and smaller
each year, and it is likely that ten
years from now the Montreal melon
will be a morsel not to eat, but to
reminisce about.

ROTTEN POTATOES.

The infection of the potatoes with
the fungus which produces rot occurs
chiefly, if not entirely, in the field be-
fore digging; the infection is usually
the result of diseased vines and in
most cases the disease is not trans
mitted directly from the vine, but in.
directly through the soil; also, pota-
toes may be infected directly in the
field from spores introduced into the
soil the preceding year. Experiments
with dry Bordeaux mixture and sol.
uble Bordeaux mixture show that
both these are less effective as pre-.
ventives of blight and subsequent rot
than the regular Bordeaux mixture.

INTENSIVE HORTICULTURE.

On a farm OF nine acres in eastern
New York, f. P. Powell has been try
.sg intensive horticulture with the fol-
lowing results:
Zach year marked some stage OF
prCgress, not only in my conception
,, of country life, but on the road to-
ward financial success. To renovate
old trees; to make worn out soil grow
peas md sweet peas; to set new trees
and plants; to work out ideas that
were novel took time-years of time.
Of the twelve sorts of orchard and
garden fruits that l now raise, exper-
fence has taught me that about three
will totally fail each year-cut off by
frost or by blight. Yet you see there
will still be nine sorts left each year.
This is where intensive horticulture
comes in ahead of extensive farming,
which takes account of only two OF
three crops-all Of which may fail in
a single year. and leave you short OF
food and cash.
After ten years the balance sheets
would read something like this. Rasp-
berries, net, $3.50; currants, $500;
cherries and plums, 500; apples,
$500; pears, $100; blackberries, with
gooseberries, ounces and grapes,
500; miscellaneous-inclu eggs,
chickens, honey and surplus trees
sold, 5000. Here is a snug little in
come of $3.50. Now you may knock
out of this estimate any three of the
hot T1lo fha
contribution to fungold and insect en-
emies, drougSts and other hindrances
to horticulture. Only bear in mind
that the raspberry failure will never
be complete; and the apple failure,
with proper care, will rarely decrease
the crop one-half In other words,
we are sure of an annual surplus OF
from 5000 to $1,000.
Perhaps best of all from every
standpoint has been my experience
with plant breeding-that is, creating
new things and improving the old.
Calling the bees into alliance, to pol
lenize my flowers and cross varieties
in the garden and orchard, l soon
found that it was possible not only
to be grower of what others mad
originated, but to be plant creator
myself. And now it has come about
that my nine acres are conspicuous
for new fruits, new vegetables and
new flowers, originated by hybridizing.
Hundreds of new crosses have been
thrown away as not eminently ahead
of old sorts; but we have one currant
that stands in the bush third larger
than Fay, while the fruit is Of the
largest. OF 400 varieties of beans or
iginated, a half dozen crosses are OF
value to the world. Seeding grapes
include some of great promise; and
the story is the same with berries of
all Sorts
