The Value of Hog Melons

Inc value OF T1og MelonS
What can be done in what was
known as mo Mans Land" as
told by the Cosmos Pioneer: Il
plowed and planted one acre to
hog .melons-435 hills, two vines
to the hill, $40 vines. There was
over fifty melons to the vine, or
over one hundred melons to the
hill. One hill had 146 melons
and the smallest hill had 100 mel
ons. This gave me about l43, 800
good melons to the acre, some be-
ing two feet long and some being
only II inches, but they were all
good, sweet, tough MELONS, solid
all the way through. These mel
Ions belong to the pie-citron fam
lily, only much sweeter as they
had been crossed somewhat with a
yellow sweet water melon. They
are creamy white inside and
solid through and through like
a citron, not juicy as a water
melon, and keep far better than
sweet apples. On Jan. L, 1910, l
purchased a razor back SOW. On
March |, following, she had eight
pigs, and on September l, follow
ing, she had seven more pigs. In
December, 1910, l sold ten of the
pigs for 500, having sow and FIVE
pigs left, worth $66, or total val
ue of $176 for the SOW and all the
pigs. The SOW cost me So, and
the blowing and planting of the
acre of melons So, or a total of $1l
giving a net profit on one acre of
hog melons of $165.
The mother and these pigs were
fed on hog melons only, except
from January until melons came
in, and the feed used during that
time was paid for out of this melon
patch. If had known how to care
for the melons, | could have had
melons all winter. | have since
learned that if had put the mel
ons in a pit and covered them with
hay or straw and then with dirt,
they would have kept until the
next May, furnishing plenty of
green feed for my hogs and hor-
SEES. AS it was, | let hundreds
freeze and rot, but this year | will
take better care of them. Now,
you homesteaders in western Kan
sas and Oklahoma, where we have
but little rain, try an acre of these
hog melons and one or two sows;
it beats wheat, corn and broom
corn. Have a five acre patch of
milo maize, if you wish, to finish
the hogs, but / sold mine off the
melon patch. If you have a larger
and a better hog, so much the bet
ter. These hog melons will grow
anywhere. | had a neighbor who
had a small patch planted on white
gyp land and they grew and throve
finely there, growing to a length
of ~ to IS inches. He has been
feeding nothing but these melons
to his hogs and they are doing
nicely.

REBELS SHOOT UP TRAIN
DR.. Olssen-Seffer, Botanist, and
Two Other Passengers Killed.

Mexico City, April S-The week end
special train for Cuernavaea, seventy-hVe
miles south of this city, was shot up ana
wrecked by rebels last night at I'll Parue'
a few miles from its destination. Three
Messengers and negro porter were killed
and several others injured. The engineer
| is missing.
Among those killed was Dr.. Pehr OLSEN
serer a botanist OF repute. who formerly
was attached to department OF the Mexi'
can government as an expert IN ruooer
culture.
The tactics OF the rebels were similar to
those employed few days ago. Wnen they
held IN a train at Cajones. The engine
tnen we're signalled 10 ston but crowded on
steam instead fearing that an attack was
intended.
As the train rushed past the point where
the rebels we're stationed, volley was
hred through the windows of the chair car
once ont Of range Of the firing, the train
slowed down. but not in time TO avoid be-
ing partly wrecked through the tearing
up Of the track The locomtlve was over
turned and it was believed that the engi-
neer was buried beneath IT.
Running down 70 the right Of way, the
rebels ordered ell passengers not TO leave
the scene of the wreck. Crowded back as
far as possible from the debris, the men
women and children waited while the rebels
chatted.
In short time the reason for the delay
was apparent. There came in sight on the
heavy grade freight train Had any one
Of The passengers been permitted to leave
warning might have been given to the
freight crew.
Too late the engineer OF the freight saw
the wrecked train. The brakes were ap-
piled, but the grade was too steep ana
the heavy train crashed into the deralleo
Messenger coaches. The fireman was k!lled
and the engineer and a coal passer were
scaded
The action OF the rebels is accounted FOR
bv the refusal Of the government 70 heeo
their warning not 70 move troops over tHe
road II is supposed the rebels expected
70 find troops on the train. Last night
fourteen bridges were destroyed north OF
San Luis Potosi, on the National line
II is not expected that any international!
controversy will ensue as the result or the
killing of DR. Olssen-Seffer, for 1t is DOUBT
full If he could have established his rights
to citizenship in any country. His parents
who vet are living near Oakland, Cal. are
Swedes.
He was born In Finland but when boy
went 70 Australia, where he lived for many
years From Australia he went TO call
fornia where he became an instructor in
botany in the University Of California.

girl and some years ago came 10 Mexico.

Industrial Workers Of the World. a Chi

This circular, which will be sent all

was read here this afternoon by William
D Haywood to a mass meeting of 1000
Socialist labor unionists. According to
Haywood's plan, the Socialists are eX-
pected 10 organize the workers outside

to quite their jobs on the day Mcnamara
comes 70 trial. while the union men are
expected to Join the movement.
Following the Haywood meeting to-
day the socialists met and appointed a
committee Of 112, four from each st.

Madero Borrows lavishly.


Madero is said to have borrowed law
ishlv at ruinous rates wherever he could
ind capitalists to take a long chahce
on the successful outcome of his move
ment. One man in San Antonio enjoys
the distinction Of being venturesotie
enough to lend Madero $4,000 gold, on
his promise to pay back 100000 in gold
if the revolution succeeded. This man
has gone to Juarez to camp with his IN
vestnnent and be on hand when the pie
cutting starts.
One of the proposals which is being
depateG in connection with the peace
negotiations is that the rank and ME
Of Maderists take service in the army
and lend their assistance 10 the gov
eminent in subdung the eruption or
brigandage which prevails in severai
districts. Madero's reputation or MS
declarations that the quitting Of Presl-
dent Diaz was essential TO any peace
agreement NAV be attributed TO the I'M
com promising attitude Of the govern
ment on this and other points. The
government refused fatty to BE- a party
10 any terms compromising the reslg-
nation Of DaZ now or In the future or
any undignifed or humi!iating eonces-
sions by the administration. II caused
TO be conveyed 10 the rebel leader word
that while Diaz would not withdraw
himself from the government while the
rebellion was in progress, there was
every reason for believing that When
the country was pacified and VICE
President acceptable to Il majority OF
the people was elected he would De
ready 10 indulge himself with long rest
and absent himself from Mexico on a
vacation 70, a period of indeterninate
length
Peace should be consummated THIS
week. The government is already max
-hg plans for putting down disorders
outside the zone In the north where
Madero's authority is recognized. HIS
submission can reasonably be expected
TO have a discouraging effect on other
bands of so,called rebels. There are not
many of these. The chief trouble is now
caused by the bandits. whose depreda-
tions are unchecked for lack of rurales
and soldiers. who are az the front. the
necessity for a constant and effective
policing OF the country according TO the
system begun and successfully carried
out by Diaz is shown by the disposition
of the vicious and irresponsible clements
who commit outrages when the peace
guardians are away. The spirit Of law
lessness is waxing, ard, although now at
a point where IL can be controlled if
grappled with promptly, the bounds Will
become more difficult each day it con-
