' , ' CULTURE OF, THE. MELON.',
Thele is no fruit that enter so, largtljr
itito the ilail' cmuumnOoo nf our peuple as
the meluD, and none tlut seems to be go tit
tie understood or appreciated in its culture.
A fine flavored water or mubk melon should
not be planted within one hundred yards of
any other melon, or any of the. melon family.
Gourds, souashes, or cucumbers should never
be plant1 a in the same garden or field with
melon, for thj volatile nature of the pollen
of each wilt mix making hybrid of the
next erneration. giving the melon a pnurdv,
squashy flavor, and solte ning the shell of the
gourd. . The melon delights in a sandy soil,
and t have them in their greatest perfec.
lion, the ground should be .deeply pded
or sub-soj ploughed. The hjlls should be
about Uu, feet apart ; Ur-'.Man' '
The watermelon vine is very suhiett .to
injury from waters heavy ami coni.nueil
ra.ns give the vines the appearance ol having
been kcslded, hence the necew;ty of lunbr
;n on hillt instead of on a level. . Holes
should be excavated and filled in with well
rotted manure, with a mound made over the
manure at least twelve inches higher in the
centre than on the outside on the centre of
this mound, plant the seed, plant some six or
eight, ami when they have four leaves, thin
out to three plant in a bill. Aa the vines
begin to run, branch and bloom, p nrh out
the terminal bud, whxh will throw , the
whole vigor of the vine into the young fruit
just set; as the fro't increases in sixe, take
off all bat one to a branch, and allow but
one melon to ripen on one branch vine, ,
An overloaded melon vine will produce
but inferior fruit The cultivator should
bear in mind that root of melons run just as
fast and as far as the vine extends, and that
the pract ce of laying bick the vines over
the lulls, is very injurious to the crop. . The
milua ground caonot be broken too deep
before the vines beg:n to run, but it is a
pos t.ve injury in the vine for the plow to
go three inches below the surface over which
thrin Iiaa alrr-ady run. . tirear car about J
be taken in handl.ng the vines when work
ing aiming them with the hoe. For every
tendril broken or oruiseu on tue vine, me
fruit is retarded iu its maturity. Keep the
ground clvan around the vines, and as fast
as the vine elongates a brain h, peg it down,
su that the winds mvv not blow t:iem aoout
and break them. : ll the striped bug is
troublesome, m.x one portion uf guano to
tun of gvpsuin.and dust over the vine when
the dew'ia on the bugs w.ll quickly depart.
The first melons that set on the vine w.ll
mature in four weeks from the time of set-
t.nz. The second settings in about three
weeks. As the season auvances, iney win
mature ill less than three weeks. Fine
crops of in. Ion are made by using bruh for
the vines to run on, and cl.ng to. The see l
of the first melon that ripens ahould be saved
lor the next season's planting, if it grew
where no o'.her member of the melon family
could impregnate it. CiJltm rWrrana Ao...

WHEAT AM) OAT. .
Mr. Editor f Some lae a prejudice
againut oats, because they imagine the crop
tit be a great exhauMer of the soil, don't
tiunk muihuf them, and believe wheat the
more nrofitable. S"nie like the oat crop
and always ww oats, and follow with wheat
mi the oai stubble. They make cood crops
and ssy their lauds are not exhausted by the
Diaittie.
The probability is, that most of the crops
planted in the pnng, are more exhausting
than tliio-a which crow thro' the winter. The
winter plant takes deeper root, draws inure of
its siibrtsnce irnin me sudi.i, sooner cm ere
the land iu the soring, and protects it more
from the killing tftVcis of a hot sun upon
the naked tmund. I Lit no one, lor this rea
mm. would th.nk of abandon. ng all spring
ernDt YVhv. then, eive ua oat? It is
certainly excellent food 5 those who rs.be
the crp, generally have fat hordes and never
Kate to buy corn i white tho-e who reject ir,

turn.ng under the stubble for wheat. Hy
...av.n.r nea iiiimed.atelv sfler the oat are
cot, and turning umier tne vines to w me
wheat upon, the land would be enriched,
and all succeeding crops increased. My
opinion is, oats and rye might both be very
profi aby raised for hogs as well a horses.
Jaet particular fields be seeded for hogs, so
divided t -at the hogs will first take the oats,
and then the rye neither be-ng cut thus
returning the straw to the laud. By the
time the rye is exhausted, peas and potatoes
will come on and 1 have not doubt pork
may be raised in many sections of our .State,
by pursuing this plan, at much less cost than
nv i,itiir now i rarticed.

I hope some, aye, many of your reader
will give thi plan a fair trial. It may bring
out lavorable and important results.

j ii k.. DON'T D-aS.'KOY THE EIRDB. ... ,
JIow often have we uttered the injunction
to our readers, and especially our agricultu
ral ones, that they should not kill the birds!
'Hey are the fanner's best friends in k ril
ing them be is injur, ng himself. And still,
though tins has been pressed upon their at
tention, too otten do we see heartless indi
viduals putting them out, of the way by
wholesale, i Again we would request the
farmers of Lancaster county, in the language
of a well-informed writer, to "spare the
birds.", " Summer is close at hand, and
w.th its Dleasures will come the daily nui
sance to those who dwell amid rural scenes
of hearing the soft notes of the shot-gun."
Kvery one who has paid attention to tne
matter koows that even the crows and black
birds are productive of more good than
barm, and tlut the vast increase of late
years of destructive insects isowmgentirely
to the wanton destruction of birds which are
not even legitimate game. A thousand
plans have been suggesiea tor me aestruc
t.ou of the curcul.o, all of which have
proved worthless. We have one which we
know tu be laUliUle -" protect the birds."
. "ihe bwalluus are the natural enemies ol
the sw;inn.iii insects, living almost entirely
uj.on them, tak.ng the.r food upon the wing.
The common marUus devour great quantities
of waps, beetles, and goldsmith. A single
bud wil detour live thousand butterflies in
a week. The moral of this is that the hus
bandman should cultivate the society of
swallows and martins about his land and
buiid.ng. i The sparrows and wrens feed
upon the crawimg insects which lurk within
the buds, loliageaml flowers ol plants, ine
wreus are pugnacious, and a little box in a
in a cherry tree will soon be appropriated
by them, and they will drive away other
birds that feed upon the fruit, a hint that
cherrr-2i owers should remember th.s spring
and act upon. The thrushes, blue-birds,
i.ivs. and crows prey upon butterflies, grass
hoppers, crickets, locu-its, anu me larger
. - i i -i - r
beetles. A Sinile family of jays w.ll con
suine twenty thousand of these in a season
of three months. The woodpeckers are
armed with stout lung bills to penetrate
the wood of trees, where the borers deposit
their larvae. They live almost entirely upon

which rec
regulate the intercouse of civilized
people, it is not to be denied that under
this rough shell there is sometimes sweet

viduals astonish those who feast expect it by
the evidences of feeling heart. It il un
fortunate, however, that they confer a favor
with so ill a grace that it is really pleasanter

the hab.tual enormity of conduct of such
individuals: "If a man indulges himself
in murder, very mob he comes to tninu

comes next to drinking, and from that to
iocivil.tr and ororraatiit.ition." This, to be

to hie friends in particular. No wonder
that sensitive man like De Quincey con
siders this the acme of moral obliquity.
If it were easier to be ursine than urbane
it would not surprise us that the indolent
preferred the rough to the smooth ; but com
mon sense and aU experience show that the
easier. is the polite way. If it were cheaper,
in these dollar and cent days, that were
some excuse for want of oourtesy. But the
Yankees good authority in such matters
have a proverb that politeness costs nothing,
and is therefore a most excellent kind of
small currency. It goes for change for a
dollar in small dealings, as civil retailers
know, and will readily procure a hundred
cents to him who dispenses it; while the
curt dealer demands seven levies, and does
not even obtain that lesser price. In large
bargains it ia worth about the same ratio,
twelve per cent., equal to one per cent, a
month -no small premium fur a purely credit
capital. We were about to w rite fictitious,
but the casuists would pick a hole in our
argument. True politeness is not fictitious.
It is simply a sunshiny habit of look.ng and
speaking, arising from a heart will ng to
take the whole world in. Silence, you cav
iller! We don't mean take in, as you pre
tend to understand it. Evidently you are ,
one of the crusty sort ; but politeness never j
beggared any one, while rude manners have
spoiled many a fortune in the getting. ,
The other offence which l)e (juincey puts
in the same grade of evil, procrastination,
is essentially impoliteness. We are so con
nected with each other, in all our relations
of society and business, that the unpunctual
man or woman ia pepper in every bodyV
eyes and ice in every one's coffee. To wait
for one who is always behind, and to find
that engagement unfulfilled by another on
which your arrangements depend, are among
the crying evils of human life, the worst
kind of miseries ; because, while to endure
them docs not get you any credit for mar
tyrdom, they are really the peine fortt tl
dure of social torture. We are not sure
that even the polite man ia required to pre
serve his urbanity under such inflictions;

"My dear," remarked the gentleman,
mildly, "you have spoken rather hash! to
the ch.ld; see, her eye are filled with
tears."
The lady looked around. , The little vio
let giil, whose eyes were aa dark as the
flowers she sold, was weeping silently. In
an instant MrB. Y.'s warm southern nature
gushed out, and turning, she clasped the
poor l.ttle child in her arms, and endeavored
to assuage her grief. :
" How very, very like our poor Alfred
this child is," said Mrs. Y., looking atten
tively in the face of the poor violet girl.
Alfrid was their only son, who had come on
to New York some five or six yean ago,
where he died of dissipation.
a Mr. Y., attracted by his wife's exclama
tion, examined the little girl attentively. -,
" There is a strong likeness," he repl lied.
Ther questioned her. She had little to
tell, tier mother and father were both dead.
What was her name f She was not certain,
but her father's name was Y. It was enough.
The old lady and gentleman took the child
between them in a carriage, and straightway
drove to the house of her grandmother,
with whom she said she lived. There they
discovered that their son had absolutely been
married, some time before his death, to a
pretty sew.nz girl, who did not very Inns
s irvive him, and who died, leaving behind
her this one child. Mr. and Mrs. Y. were
bo h rich and childless. This little creature,
rugged and uneducated, was more welcome
to mem than a fortune. She was instantly
washed and dressed, and teachers had for
her. Her fortunes changed as the seasna
changed. It had been winter with her for a
long time, and it was now May. I have no
daubt but in a few years more, I shall have,
perhaps, the pleasure of meeting with her
at some party in Fifth Avenue.
