squash seed just to one side Of where
melons are to be planted and do not
plant the latter until squashes are well
up.
The idea in planting squashes is OBJ
vious. The, chief pest of the melon
raiser is the little striped bug better
known as the cucumber bug. AS the
squash plant is more hardy than the
young melon plant use it as trap
for the bugs, as they seem to like it
fully as we'll as the melon. On it they
seem to thrive and breed. BY the time
the melons are up the bugs have per.
formed their work and disappeared.
Ny rule is to plant corn first, and
then make the major part Of the garden,
including the melon planting, says a
Michigan farmer in American Agricul-
turist. l sometimes use the hOtbed for
starting my melon plants, planting seed
In inverted sods cut in squares about
by 5 inches. and when plants are
grown to the proper size, say two or
three rough leaves each, l lift them
carefully, placing the sod on trays,
and set them, sod and all, in the per
manent hill. want at least eight good
plants to each hill, as some are sure to
die. As they grow the weaker ones are
taken out until but three or four are
left, which is an abundance. After
plants are we'll on their way the
squashes are removed.
The Montreal muskmelon satisfies.
First, it is model of beauty. being
almost spherical in form; second, its
deep, dense netting gives protection in
transit; third, its size runs usually very
even, averaging in diameter from five
to six inches, thus making two even
standard grades; fourth. the quality is
good; fifth, it is productive to a fault
when conditions are right, which means
good soil, good culture and agreeable
weather. l have never raised more
than one-fourth acre of the Montreal
at time. and that season | picked
1882 melons, nearly all marketable
specimens, from this patch. This is
the best l ever did
The hills We're planted 81 by 81 feet,
thus giving me 354 hills, which aver
aged eight nice melons each.

Black Rot In Tomatoes.

Black rot is often very troublesome
in our early tomatoes. A Georgia
farmer says his early tomatoes brought
Sc bushel last season, but most of
his first crop was unmarketable on
account of black rot spots.
We have not yet learned how to con-
quer this disease. Possibly we may
check it somewhat by frequent spray
ing with bordeaux mixture, but our
main reliance must be found In allow.
ing free circulation of air around the
plant by supporting the vines in such
a way as to hold the fruit up from the
ground. Last season our tomatoes
were free from rot or nearly so.-T. G.

designs sometimes run around the low

Narrow hemstitched frills are used
to finish off the front plat, and the

sets Of ruftle edged box plaits to run
the entire distance down the front Of
the waist and turnover collar with
cuffs to match, finished first with q
hem or scallops and set under this the
fine gathered or knife plated frill. The
latter, of course, is made from lawn

But far more fascinating to the fem
mime needle at this moment are the
many styles Of lingerie ties, cravats,
jabots and rabats. A rabat looks like
handkerchief, plain or edged with
lace, laid in fine plaits, so that it is
snug and narrow where 1t joins the
collar and flares out as the plaits I'M
fold toward it's lower edge. 1t gives
fat, tailored effect. The jabOt gives
cascade effect in lace alone or lace
and lawn and Is worn with dressy
rather than tailored waists.
The smallest lingerie cravats o.
made ties measure no moro than three
and half inches in length and less
than two inches in breadth. They are
made Of fine linen, batiste or lawn
edged with very narrow scalloped o.
pointed French val and laid In finest
knife plaitings. They are drawn IN a
very tight knot in the center to give a
butterfly effect. They can be fastened
on bit Of pasteboard covered with
the lawn and attached to the collar
with bit of narrow elastic. Or pat

satt, who managed the great loans that
were floated in connection with the
terminal undertakings Of the company.
Philadelphia is President McCrea's
birthplace, and he is fifty-eight years
Of age. He attended the private school
Of the Rev. John w. FARES and later
went to the Pennsylvania Polytechnic
school. Then he started out as rods
man and assistant engineer to make q
name for himself in the railroad world.
His first service was with the Connells-
Vile and Southern Pennsylvania road.
with which he remained from 1865 to
1867, when he became rodsman on con-
struction Of the Wilmington and Read
ing. Later he was with other roads. 1t
was in 1871 that he entered the service
of the Pennsylvania. Twenty years
from the time he began work with this
corporation he was first vice president
of the Pennsylvania lines west Of
Pittsburg and practically president OF
this part Of the system. In his present
draws salary of $4,000.
Mr.. McCrea has for some years made
Pittsburg his home. and his family
have been prominent in the society Of
that city. Mrs. McCrea was a Miss
Montgomery. The eldest son, James \.
McCrea. is married and lives in New
York Another son, Archibald Mont
gomery, lives at home. and there is
daughter who is an exceedingly at
tractive and well educated girl Mr..
McCrea himself is genial and fond of
good company, but is too busy man
to devote much time to society. He is
a member Of the Pittsburg Country
club and spends all the time he can
spare from business on its golf links,
for he is an enthusiastic golfer and re-
lies much on outdoor exercise for the
preservation Of his health and vigor.
President McCrea gave an illustra-
tion of the kind of man he Is shortly
after he had entered the employ Of
the Pennsylvania. There had been
freight wreck, and before he arrived at
the part of the system where it occur
red things were pretty well cleared up.
Anything l can do p he asked Of tho
foreman.
mo, / guess not" was the reply.
sWhat! Nothing?" exclaimed the
young engineer.
"Well, everything has been fixed ex-
cspt removing those ties in the ditch
over there"
Forthwith young McCrea strobe over
to where the ties lay and, shouldering
one after another, carried them up the
embankment until all we're in the
proper place. The wrecking crew gave
him the name "Cross Tie Jim," which
stuck to him for years afterward.
