CANTALOUPE CULTURE.
Proper Kind For Planting and Time
to Plant. .
? ?' .'*.vV * r'-; y- . ; ? . . "*t
Cleuison College, April 18. ? Ah the
Cantaloui>e is a very tender plant, the
seed should not be planted until after
danger of killing frost 1* over. In the
eastern part of the state .they may
,be planted ax early as April 1st, In
the central and western part, from
April 15th to 25th, In case they are
planted ettrly and injured by frost,
plant again Immediately. The land
should first lie thoroughly plowed to
a depth of from eight to twelve inches,
and very heavily manured with well
decomposcd stable manure. This
should be thoroughly incorporated with
the soil by harrowing. The rows
Should lie laid off six feet apart and
the seed planted In hills 18 to 24 inches
apart in the row. " As soon as the
plants have formed the third leaf, they
should be thinned out to one plant In
place. Cantalouiies are frequently
planted six by six feet, but it Is not
necessary to give them so much space
except on poor land. The melons are
rreq lien t iy iTTTa cke<l by worms Just be
fore they reach maturity. In case
worms attack the melons they may
In? protected before the worm enters
by bagging the melon in very much
the same way as grai>es are bagged.
For a medium sized melon, a number
five bag Is tbe proper size to use. The
bag should be made of heavy manlllu
pajier In order to prevent the heavy
rains from beating holes In It. When
the melons are about the size of a
hen's egg, tbe hags are slipped over
them and pinned closely around the
stem, and the melon placed on a slight
mound of "soil about two Inches high.
Tills affords drainage ami prevents the
bags from remaining wet long after
rains, which would cause it to decay.
Tills method of saving melons has long
lieen practiced and found very satis
factory. One can easily tell when the
melon is rij>e without removing the
bag, b.v examining the vine. If the
stem slips easily from the melon, it
Is3 ready to pulL.-,. . / ,
The following "varieties are especial
ly recommended: Hockyford, < Netted
Gem), EinerAld Gem, Nixon, and Acme.
The Rockvford is probably the most
I?opular of all- melons and is grown
more extensively for commercial pur
poses thau any other variety.
THE FOUR P's.
Pastures, Peas, Peanuts and Pigs Sug
gested For "Live at Heipe."
Clemson College, April 17.-^-If your
policy Is "live at hanjboand board at
the same place," nothing, probably Is
of more Importance in the meat pro
duction side of such a policy as the
four P's ? imstures, peas, peanuts and
pigs.
Now Is the Ideal time for starting
l>ermuda pastures, and little later
grazing ero|>s of jieas and peanuts. A j
l>ermuda pasture with a few ears of
corn or an equal amount of good rice
meal dally will give a gradual profita
ble growth of pigs after they are four
months old. Previous to this time
they should have a full ration of shorts 1
preferably f?nl In slop. Feed them all
the surplus butter milk.
i'eas and iieanuta planted at inter
vals from now on, shocrtd furnish
cheap finishing croiwt which will pro- !
duce i*irk at n profit if finished with
corn for two or three weeks in con
nection therewith. ...
