Fertilizer for CantaIoupeS.

II manure is to be applied on the ground on which you are to raise can taloupes next spring, spread it now four or five inches thick over the en. tire land to be planted Then by means of an iron blow or spading fork mix well with the soil to at least one foot In depth as early next spring as possible.
 Follow this with a disk or tooth harrow or long toothed iron rake, using this implement until the soil is line and level. If irrigation is to be used, throw up beds or ridges six feet wide by five inches high, one foot apart, and the longer the better; or a simpler method is to open a furrow five inches deep and one foot wide every six and one-half feet, with a double shovel blow, thus leaving six. foot beds.

Scrapbook collecting is a form of nursery diversion that has fewer ad- herents than it once had. Time was when the youngsters devoted much time and thought to gathering mate rial with which to fill the books, and who would succeed in having the best collection was a matter of heat ed competition. It seems a pity that this form of collecting should have dropped into disfavor, for if rightly directed it may be the means of de- veloping traits in the child that would otherwise lie dormant.

Value of Sheep Manure.

An analysis of sheep manure indi, cates that 1t contains about 6.2 Der cent of nitrogen, 7.3 per cent of phos- phoric acid and 6.6 per cent of pot ash. It is higher in phosphoric acid than manure from cattle In other respects this analysis shows it to be not dissimilar in composition to or dinary yard manure At prices pre- vailing for commercial fertilizers, say. IS cents pound for nitrogen, four to five cents for potash, it would be worth about S3,55 a ton. Of course its value would depend on the care and skill with which it had been handled. It should be protected from teaching by covering and from fer mentation by keeping moist.

This the while each dish of the first course, then on the dresser, was being tasted by the stew ards and cooks under the direction of the sewer. The dishes then came to the high table and ''assaye" was taken by the carver and the sewer himself. Nothing was left to chance. Pieces were clipped from each loaf and corners from all meats. Pies were broken open and "cornets" of bread dipped into several places and swallowed by the tasters. Granted the well-being of these tasters, the feast could then proceed.

SCARCITY OF GOOD TURKEYS

 Ducks Also Decrease.

According to the census bureau, the forecast for the future holiday feast is very gloomy, at least as far as the tur- key goes. Instead, chicken or roast beef as a centerpiece will be used in- stead of the time-honored turkey. Ten years from now multimillionaire may be able to have a duck or goose on his Christmas table, but as for turkeys, they will exist only in fancy or at the National Zoo According to the cen- sus bureaus report, there were 6,954,- 695 turkeys on farms in the United States in 1900, and only 266S, 708 in 1910. At this rate of decrease indi- cated the turkey will be strange bird in 1920. The number of ducks de- creased with almost similar speed. Tn 1900 there were 4,785;850 and in 1910 there were only 2,906,525. The geese have gone more slowly. In 1900 there were 5,676,78S, and last year there were 3,431, ,9S0. Chickens are doing well, however, for in 1900 there were 233, ,966,021 and in 1910 there were 2SO,345,133, not counting the few that are hatching as this paper goes to press.
