StoNE MoUNTAIN, August 23 - As a general thing, 1t is difficult matrer to send a ripple across the placid bos om of this quiet community, bui just now there is visible a simmer of ex citment and expectancy Me. John Miller, the ‘‘boss wa er-melon raiser’ has a melon which will be ripe by Saturday, and which for sizeis ex- pected to take the cake from the whole state. The melon is six weeks old and has grown to an _enormous #ize and has not yet called a halt. Tt now woighs over sixty-fivepounds, and it is expected that by the time it ripens it #ill weigh over seventy, and it may go to seventy five. The melon is of the “Cuban Queen” variety and is short and *quare shouldered.” In appearance it resembles the rattle- suake melon, excey x)m' it is not as “long drawn out, lu iing shorter and longer round. The Targest waterriels on thut Mr. Miller has cver raised heretotore was a sixty-four pounder, which was raised a vear or 1wo ago, and which when cut into sections like a barrel-hoop and the pulp remcved, left a rind through which the body of a large man could casily be slippod. T8 fuct, your correspondent saw Mr. Miller alip a section of the rind over his head and body. This feat wan easi- ly accomplished although Mr. Miller woighs in the neighborhood of two hutdred pounds. The next largest that he over raised was a_sixty-two pound melon, which was raised {n the year precoding that in which the wixty-four pound melon was raised 1 This steady increase in the size of his brag melons, from a sixty-two toa probable seventy-five pound melon, leads one to wonder where the end will be. Your correspondent asked Mr. Miller to give him the secret of his success. Taking the acribe by the arm he led him into the patch, where grow from three to five feet high and an inch in diameter. The roots 'are fibrous and extend from two to three foet first summer. This second year they have grown from eight to ten feot, with body thick as a hoe or fork handle, and are still growit g vigorous Iy. If ony one wants to sce a apeci men, and will pay the express on the stick, he will send a young catalpa He does this to proye that he is not telling a fish story. He has heard that oatalpa will grow from cuttings. He has proved it for himself. Last fail he buried cuttings in the ground to callous. Last April he set them out. Some of them have made a growth of two or three feet, which is much greater than that made from seed planted this spring. He says now he is convinced that fields may be planted to corn, and when the corn appears abive the ground, the cuttings of catalpa may be stuck into alternate hills. The cultivacon of the oorn crop will work the catalpa sufhi ciently, and the corn crop will pay for the planting of the land to catalpa He suggests that large plantings of this most valuable timber can be made more cheaply the first year with cut- tings and some other crop. This soems feasible where men wish to put corn land into timber-growir In Ohio wo have many bare side-hilis wnd gullies that can bo put into tim ber, but not into corn, We are put- ting a hillside into locust treea this year, and haye planted them eight feot apart, with arow of potatoes between. Tho trees and potatoes have done well 80 far, If Yon are Ruined in heaith from any cause, especially from the use of any of the thousand nostrums that promise so largely, with long fictitious testimonials, have no foar Resort to Hop Bit prs at once, and in a short time you wili have the most rosust and blaoming health. the vines ran in every direction, and tho bees buzzed about tho yellow blooms while the big melons looked lazy, as their backs, otreaked with groen and yellowish white lay upturn- ed to the sun The ground was covered with straw, and the finest melons were just visible through the straw that was piled about them to hido them from the buruiug rays of the August su . Beside each of the largest melons were sticks stuck into the ground to show how fast the melon was growing and when it had stopped growing—an evidonce that it was mipe. As Mr. Millor passed through the patch he reached down and “‘pulled” a shabby looking speci about twice the sizs of a man's bead. The newspaper man noticed, also, that there were quite a number of smailer melons Jytig around loose in the patch, and accordingly inquired the cause of such an apparenciy wanton deotruction of melous, 1§ T got two melons to tho vine 1 am satistied,” roplied Mr. Miiler, “1 try to make my vines bring me an av- erage of two melons, but T will v take even two at the sacrifice of their eize, I puiled that melon becauso it is dwarfish. It would never be any- thing itself, but it would damage the big meion you sce aver there near the root of the vinc, Ibelieve in the sur- vival of the fittest, therefore the bad melons mus’ go the walk. You asked me abou: the recret of iy success There 18 no gecret about it. The old tarmers shake their heads and sey there is some secret about my way ot cultivating wy crops, but I tell you if there is any secret 1t 18 the secrot of hard work aud ¢ mmon sense 1 go into this piece of ground to plant iy melon patch, and 1 dig the holes ten feet apart and about nine inches deop. Tuto cach hole, which I make about two or three feet across, I put a shovelful of stable manure, I then go around tha hole with my shovel and throw in the top earth, which 1 thor- oughly mix up with the manure in the hole. Then 1 plant the sced, aud whon the vines come on 1 pruue them and take care of them in acercful, sensible sortof way. 1 know when a viue ueeds pruving by its appesrance, but not deseribe it 1o you to sa T sumply know i1, and th the end of 1, I know this much, that if you prune a vine when 1t does not ueed it you injure it, and if you do not prune it when it neweds it it will be injured. That isall 1 can toll you 1t is a secret that wili huve to be learned by actual exper 1d 1 could not teach it to you in a dozen years, ualoss 1 could show you the vines when they needed pruning, Then, as I told you, Ioull the sorry melons wud throw them away ao that they wil not be a useloss drain on the vines.
