THE MUSKMELON CROP.
Proper Vradlaa; aad racklaar Ads
Very Mut-h to tho Profit to Ue
1 Derived from It.
To know jut vJieu to pick a musk
melon la a mutter of judgment, ac
quired only by a practical acquaint
ance with melons. Each variety baa
it charncteriHtiu coloring when ripe.
The Klein end colors and aoftens
lirtt. Thia purt furuishea the signal
for picking. The melon muat be
picked before it has softened at this
critical point. It is not less impor
tant to grade melons than peaches
or upplcx, and no progressive fruit

ing according to sie is a distinct Ad
vantage, becuuse it frequently hrtp
pens that one consumer desires a
small sie while unother prefers a
larger grade. The work of grading
and packing run be done best on a
properly constructed gruding tnbl
in the packing house or in a sh:!el
corner of the field. The packing
hou.se is the best place, howevor.
In western New York there nre
three types of puckages 12-pound
bankets, bushel baskets und crates.
The 12-pound basket usually holds
IS melons, the bushel basket un-l t "
erute hold from 30 to 45 uiel.-'M
each. A favorite size of the cr;i it
is 9 by 11 by 22 inches. Jlaslttts
are neat and easily bundled, but ure
not suitable for shipping fruit to
distant markets. For long-distance
shipment the crate is undoubtedly
the best package, economy of spare
and ease of handling conaidered. In
western New York most of the prod
uct is shipped by eanal boat. Net
ted Oem packs nicely in lt-pound bas
kets, while the larger varieties, like
Surprise, are more conveniently hand
led in bushel baskets. It is doubt
ful, however, if growers could af
ford to use this package if shipped
by railway. J. Craig, New York Sta
tion. THE OSAGE ORANGE.
It Fornlshe-s Excellent Timber for
Posts, Railroad Ties and Pur
poses of Like Xatnre.
Osage orange is undoubtedly the
very lest timber for posts, wagon
timber, ruilroud ties and for all pur
poses where the timber is exposed
to the weather.
The sap of this remarkable timber
is un cily caoutchouc, which renders
the wood impervious to liquids and
gases and not readily affected by ex
posure to air, acids and alkalies.
Osage orange grows rapidly in tho
low lands of the Missouri and Missis
sippi and their tributaries as fur
north as latitude 42 degrees, pcrhAps.
It is in its glory in the latitude of St.
Louis und farther south.
I had plants to grow 12 feet the
first year from seed and could not
use the plants, they being too largo
to sell. In three years they malio
line everlasting fence posts. In eight
or ten years they muke railroad ties,
When one post gets large enough,
cut it off and unother tree will
sprout from the stump and make a
straight sprout of 20 to 25 feet high
so you have nn everlasting patch
of trees and everlasting wood iu the
trees.i
llon't plant your patch on poor
ground; you will be disappointed if
you do.
There arc many thousands of miles
of railroads und new railroads are
being built they all need ties, no
substitute will ever take their place.
The islands in the Missouri river
will grow fine posts. In 1S74 Judge
Miller, of Uluffton, and the writer
were looking ut a fine lot, which
grew from where some one had set
a short hedge on an island. I think
we calculated that 2,000 good posts
could be grown on an ucre of island
land in three years, and then contin
ued Indefinitely. Julian Bugby, in
ltural World.
It Pays to Keep Accounts.
Hoard's Dairyman has found that
there nre herds of dairy cows, owned
by patrons of Wisconsin creameries,
that with good care produce from
$1.50 to 12.13 worth of milk for every
dollar's worth of feed consumed.
Other herds produce lets than this;
in a few cases $1 worth of feed pro
ducing only 83 cents worth of milk.
Either the care or the cow was not
what it ought to be in these latter
cases. We have an idea that the vow
has much to do with it. Do you know
what kind of a cow you keep?

Eev. K. B. fejer, pastor of Christ's
church, London, whose writings en
religious subjects are well known
and popular in America, is now pay
ing a long-promised visit to tha Unit
ed States. Ilia wife and Mr. Vlurcell,
who will act as his secretary and as
sistant, are with him.
Mr. Meyer went from New York dW
rect to Northfield,' Muss., where ha
will conduct devotional services and
also preach a course of sermons at
Moody's auditorium for a month.
On completing his work iu Amer
ica, Mr. Meyer will go to Norway,

REV. F. B. MEYER
(Famous KiikIImIi Preacher Now Vl.iitlns
(lie United Slates.)
Swede-i, Finland nnd the West In
dies on a devotional mission. The in
vitation to visit those countries has
been of long standing, but he means
to make up for lost time, lie hopes
to get back to London by next April.
.Mr. Meyer is noted iib a html work
er. During one fortnight, in pre
paring for his journey to America
und other places, he hus not gone to
bed before five in the morning and
he has been about again between six
and iU'vett a. m. He breakfasts at
eight, works again until luncheon,
has un hour or two's nap iu the after
noon, dines at seven and works up
to midnight all the year round.
On bis journeys across the Atlantic
he works even harder than when
within the seclusion of his own study,
because he limls that tho bracing sen
air as.-iists him in putting more vigor
into Lis work. Mrs. Meyer says:
'The pen to my husband is like tho
brush to the painter. Away from his
devotional duties it acts like a mag
net on hint and he really seems to
find in it his only recreation."
Mr. Meyer is one of the kindest
and most accessible of men. No one
has ever approached him on any reu
souable subject without obtaining au
Interview, and in this way he oftna
incurs the displeasure of his domestie
circle by leaving table in the middle
of a mcul to hear the story of some
wayfarer or to give his advice on
some disturbing question, lie neith
er smokes nor drinks, und it is de
clared by those most closely asso
ciated with him that pens, ink and
paper attract him more than the
most carefully prepared cuisine.
During the ten years he has been
at Christ's church the congregation
has almost doubled, und it is now
2,400. In connection with this church
there nre 10 schools, attended by
5.000 pupils, demanding the attention
of 400 teachers, who give instructions
in elementary and advanced knowl
edge. There ure gymnasiums and
other training establishments for the
social and physical improvement of
the children nttending these schools.
Mr. Meyer has assisted 4,000 pris
oners to reform nnd obtain honor
able employment in Kngluml, Amer
ica nnd the colonies. Dr. I'ierson,
who came from the roiled States to
succeed Spurgeon, fills bis pulpit

MENKONITES OK KANSAS.
Year A(t This Proaperoaa Sect Tries!
to Make aa Old-Wortd Coast?
la This Coaatrr.
Abandoned and falling into decay
Dear the town of liillsboro, in Marion
county, Kan., stands an old Dutch wind
mill, built in lb71 by the Mennonites.
Nearby is a settlement, or "dorf," cf
prosperous Mennonite farmers. The
mill, once useful in the economy of the
community, is now the home of owls
and bats. The weatherboards are
falling oft, the wooden cogwheels are
rotting away and the doors gone. Its
THE OLD MILL OF 1S71.
successor is a strum roller mill not
far awny.
The settlement is called (iiiadenau,
meaning the "Valley of the (Irnce of
God." It was regularly orgunized with
a "dorfschultze," who sat in judgment
on the disputes of the settlers. The
courts were open to them, but IT they
invoked thm they were in peril of ex
pulsion from the church. They tried
to reproduce in this country the vil
lages they hud left in ltussia and to
establish here the manners and cus
toms of their ancestors. They suc
ceeded for awhile, but the new genera
tion that has been born there prefers
the Americnn way of living; so the
windmill and the patriarchs of the
settlement are ull that is left of the
original "dorf."
The head of every funilly took lfift
acres of land. In the beginning the
tracts f ell were thrown together and
cut up into lC',-ucre "kegels." In this
way they were able to build the homes
close togegtlivr and farm the outlying
land. They made the "dorf" three
miles long, and fronting on a road
they built their houses. The walls of
their houses were made of clay and
were eitrht feet thick. The roofs were
made of "blue stem." a tall grass which
at that time grew abundantly in the
bottomlands roundabout. A number
of these houses, prettily whitewashed,
exist to-doy. but the most of the orig
inal habitations have been succeeded
by wooden farmhouses. The "kegel"
system hus been almost abandoned.
The Mennonites soon contracted the
American habit of "trading," and the
"kegel" system neee'aJtated the con
currence of too many persons in mak
ing deeds.
Estenalon of Hnral Delivery.
The growth of tho rural mail de
livery system has surpassed the most
sanguine expectations of Its pro
moters. At first it was doubtful if
the plan would prove a success, and
considerable opposition was stirred
up by cross-roads postmasters who
were nuturally anxious to hold their
jobs. The first route wus estub
! lihed only six years ago, but on
July 1, VM2, there were r,4ol routes
In operation. There were 530 more
on August 1, and 10,193 petitions for
routes are still under consideration.
According to population Iowa leads
' the union in rural free delivery
routes. There were 054 in that
state on July 1, and 32 additional
routes were placed In operation on
August 1. Arkansas, of the larger
states, is at the bottom of the line,
with only 20 routes.
Our Corn Milling- Industry,
The magnitude of the corn mill
ing Industry Is little appreciated. Ac
cording to official figures, a total of
241,000,000 bushels of corn was ground
into flour and meal in the census
year, or ulmost exactly half the con
sumption of wheat. Of course a very
large proportion of tho corn prod
uct was used for stuck fond; yet,
this granted, a very important quan
tity undoubtedly went into consump
tion for table purposes. What a pity
that Et rope, proverbially hungry for
cheap i ml wholesome food products,
does n t appreciate the beauties of
our corn bread nnd "rye and Injuu."
Orange Judd Farmer.
Itnral Mails Protected.
With the post office appropriation
bill passed by congress recently, a
section was adopted providing for
the punishment of persons injuring
or in any way defacing mail lout
on rural free delivery routes. Phis
went Into effect with the signing of
the bill by President Itoosevelt, ' und
is now. in full force. Previous to
' his the government had no special
ection covering rural routes, and
jirosecutions were made under; the
seon protecting post office- Mixes
in cities. Any robberies should be
reported to tho United States dis
trict attorney for the district in
which they occur.
In August we get after the borer
in the orchard. We find them by the
wood dust around the stem of the
tree. We go after them with a sharp
knife and a small wire. If we do not
get the job done in August we do it
in Sef tember. .
