 With the inti oduction of the
 Fl Ceutro Fancy Melon Growers
 Association we now have at this
 place two associations which will
 grow and handle cantaloupes
 for the eastern market. With
 the two associations in the field
 the Press is inclined to believe
 there will be a larger acreage
 grown and inasmuch as there
 are two firms in the field to do
 the distributing of the crop, it is expected that better results will
 follow. Neither association will
 be burdened with an excessive acreage and no doubt greater care will be taken in preparing the product for the market. The forming of the new association insures the building of another packing shed and another spur track both of them being desira- ble additions to onr town. But the best feature regarding the matter is that there is no friction whatever between the two asso- citations and indications point to peaceful and harmonious action all along. The old association had its members and felt that they could not let in new ones without a cash deposit sufficient to offset the efforts of those who took the initiatory steps last year and while no one considered this as all injustice, still there were tho.e who believed they would rather start out new this year as did those last year rather than pay outright for the privelege of being on a par with the pioneers. The first organization has a good acreage in sight and still more in sight. They have just as good a contract as the new one, in fact the contracts are almost identical. The Press sim cerely hopes that all the growers will work for the best interests of the cantaloupe industry and will not in any way frictionize.

Here is the government recipe for
cleaning brass. 1t is used in all the
United States arsenals and is said to
be the best I'm the world. This is the
recipe: One part of common nitric acid
to half part of sulphuric acid. Keep
the mixture in stone jar, having
ready a pailful of fresh water and a
boxful of sawdust. Articles to be
cleaned must first be dipped in the
acid mixture, then into the water and
dried with sawdust. This process of
cleaning VIII change the brass imme-
diately to a brilliant color. If the metal
is greasy-as candlesticks would be-
dip first in q strong solution of potash
and soda, in warm weather This cuts
the grease and permits the acid to
work. This method of cleaning brass is
entirely harmless and is very satisfac-
tory.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

years time the most remarkable in
crease has come within the last six
years, when the value of the states
farm products has increased to the ex-
tent of $4,000 and more. In four
years time if present conditions are
not found wanting, the chances are
that the valuation of farm products

capacious glls opening and closing, the
half open round mouth, the luminous
brown eye, the ceaseless slow vibra-

adequately describe the startling sud
denness of the dart at some idle fly
touching the surface, the quick return
to the old position and the resumption
