When ono has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because sho re pented." How to Grow Watermelons, Query: IMoaso give the best me thods ol' growing watermelons on sandy land?" How much fertilizer should I use? Does it pay to prune the vines? Answer: There aro thousands of acre? in melons grown where I live. Our growers prepare tho land in De cember or January and check it out S by S feet and put half a bushel or more of manure in each check and let lt lie till spring to rot. Theni they add a handful of a good fertilizer on tills at planting time and mix it woll and make up tho hill and plant. When a good stand ls secured thin to two plants. Thou . scatter a table spoonful of nitrate of soda around each bill and cult?valo clean. Never prune tho vines at all. In tlie ab sence of man uro, put In tho hill about a bushel of black mold from! tho woods and then mix cotton seed meal and acid phosphate equally and put a handful of this well mixed in tho woods mold and cover and make the bill.

Last night thc Infantry diargod lu masses simul taneously from three sides, furiously engaging tho French battalion hold ing the village.

The charge Bit Malancourt was only one of three operations against the Verdun stronghold which the Germans have put into motion within a day. Northeast of the fortress they twice attacked at Douauniont with li quid lire, but, according to the French war office, were both times beaten off. Last night they developed renewed activity on the edge of the Woevre plain, beginning a drive against the French right flank and attempting to j take the fortification east of Hamlio ! mont, about niue miles southeast of !
