In a large measure, what may be said regarding one of them will apply equally to the other. This distinction must, however, be made that cantaloupes and water melons are esteemed for their ripe fruit while a ripo cucumber! is worthless for the table. And in consequence, cucumbers may be grown successfully on lands containing an amount of n'oisture which would be totally ruinous to the quality of cantaloupes and to a less degree to watermelons. All these plants are vigorous growers and require thorough preparation of the soil. The ne cessity for this may be realized - better when we say that the ag gregate length of roots are many times that of the vines, and a single root will be nearly or quite as long as the vine. The ground must be well pulverized and in a good state of tilth. This cannot be done without plowing t'ae ground well and re peatedly harrowing it. Cucumbers shouad be planted in rows about five feet apart, with the plants four feet apart in the rows. The distauce for can t.aloupes should be five by five feet, five by six feet, or six by-six feet, while watermelons shouli be given ten by ten feet, or twelvo by twelve feet. When grown in ,frames, cucumbers may be planted three by four or even three by . three feet. Look w:.All to the draiiage of the land.

The prin c;pbo involved in the mainte i auce of the rural free delivery -ervice is practically identical with that involved in the foreign mail service mentioied, although, of cto urse, no international ques on o public convenience figures. .owever, the principle involved is iat of public convenience, and the goverument owes its own citizou at home as much cousid Oration of the kind as it owes its own e~i izens or foreiguers abroad. b ince the establishment of r,ural free delivery iuany of tne 1eInotI routes have shown marklce.d inprovement in many ways as the result of the improv ed postalse-rvice.
