FARM NOTES.
How to Grow Seedless Melons-Other
Items.
A way to raise seedless melons
and pumpkins is a follows:
Plant the seed in good well-prepared
soil and when the . vines are
four feet long cover at a point about
two feet or midway in good rich
earth. Lave the tip exposed to air
and sunshine. Do not allow any
fruit to set on the. vine until after
it has been cut between the two
hills. As soon as it has taken root
at the covered hill sever the stem.
This will destroy the seed-producing
qualities in the vine.
At the Kansas Experiment
Station a strip through a field of
alfalfa was cut when one-tenth was
in bloom another strip was cut
after full bloom had passed. The
strip cut earlr was nearly ready
cut the second time when that cut
after full bloom was being harvest-
grew vigorously through the" season
and made three cuttings and a good
aftermath. The strip cut after full
bloom gave a low yield the first
eutting and did not grow sufficiently
to yield a good second cutting.
Earl' cuttings invigorate the plant.
The decay of posts is most rapid
at surface of ground and is probably
due to chemical action or bacterial
ferment stimulated by chemical
action of soil moisture and summer
heat. I suggest that a three-quarter
inch hole be bored at the surface of
ground threeor four inches slanting
downward with the post. Fill this
two or three times a year with
petroleum; cork with a wooden
plug. You never saw the staves of
an -old ash barrel rot. Perhaps a
strong potash solution in the holes
would preserve as posts orsalycilic
acid or calcium sulphate or copper
sulphate. If it be a fungus disease
Bordeaux mixture may be beneficial
or even painting the posts with
Bordeaux at surface of ground
annual!'. I think kerosene in the
augur hole to' saturate the post
thoroughly for a foot of its length
will be the best thing. It will be
found to be worth a trial.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF MINES
The New York democratic con-
vention has taken a very decided
stand for the permanent settlement
of the anthracite coal mining trou-
bles for all time by the adoption of
the following plank:
We advocate the national owner
ship and operation of the anthracite
coal mines by the exercise of the
right of eminent domain with just
compensation to owners. Ninety
per cent of the anthracite coal de-
posits of the world being in the
state of Pennsylvania national
ownership can but be in the inter-
i e i1
Fuel like water being a public
necessity we advocate national
ownership and operation of the
mines as a solution of the problem
which will relievo the country from
the AifTerings which follow differ-encl-
between labor and capital in
thewthracite mines. This course
willLmre peace in the mining re-
gions aggmove the cause for dif-
ferences leaaint only to suffer-
ing buf oft-times to bloodshed and
insurrection. It will relieve the con-
sumers of coal not only in this
state but throughout the whole
country; insure steady employment
andample compensation to' labor;
transfer children from the mines to
the schools; insure; strengthen and
preserve the stability of . the - busi-
VH?ss interest- and of thafjOuohiri
ever differences of opinion may
exist over other propositions of pub-
lic ownership the propriety of that
policy as applied to anthracite coal
mines must be apparent to every
.citizen. .
There is no doubt that mankind
has always recognized mining prop-
erty as occupying a different rela-
tion to private ownership from any
other kind of property. In many
countries mines are reserved entire-
ly for government control and oper-
ation and in others they are sub-
ject to special regulation and to the
payment of large royalties to the
government. In England formerly
all gold and silver found in the
earth belonged to the -crown and in
the British colonies in Canada
South Africa and Australia the
government requires the payment
of royalties that strike American
mines as very burdensome.
In this country the policy of the
irnment has been to open every
thing to private ownership. The
chief exception that has been made
is in the case of mineral springs
having medicinal qualities which
are now recognized as desirable
property for public ownership in
or ler that the public may have the
full advantage of them. It will be
remembered that the same principle
which the New York convention
proposes for the anthracite mines
was adopted a few years ago in re-
gard to the hot springs of the Ar-
kansas and aarge amount of prop-
erty which haclpassed into private
hands was rea Jjuired by the gov-
ernment. From tfcs point of view the pro-
posal does not involve the general
principle
of public ownership or
the idea of
a -general government
employment of labor. It is simply
a proposition that a necessity of
life which -exists in limited quan-
tity shall not be the subject of a
private monopoly which shows lit-
tle disposition to recognize any
right of the public to a
supply of
that necessity. And from that point
oftview many persons would not
object to this proposition who would
object to an- general scheme of
public ownership. The New York
plank will probably attract a great
deal of attention and receive very
general discussion. Indianapolis

KILLED STINGRAYS
ON THE BEACH.
Corpus Christi Tex. Oct. 7.
This morning thirty-odd stingrays
were killed bv Thomas N. Tinnev
on the beach in the extreme north-
ern part of the city. While a num
ber were of ordinary size several
were as large in circumference as an
ordinary barrel head. A stingray is
one of the most dangerous denizens
of the deep but owing to the fact
that they generally burrow into the
mud or sand at the bottom of the
water and never attack unless
trodden upon it is rare that any
one is harmed by them. While th8jr
are numerous in all bodies of salt
water it is rare indeed that they
ever come ashore. Those killed this
morning voluntarily crawled out
upon the beach. Mrt Tinney says
at certain times some peculiar
change in the water Tvill make them
leave the bottom and come ashore
but it is very rarejy one is ever seen
alive on. the beach. . .

TREAT ALL LAW-
BRAKERS ALIKE
From the Springfield Mass. Republi-
can (ind.) "
The hand of public authority
should be applied heavily against
all riotous strikers. And next let
it fall with equal force upon the
railroad coal corporations whose
law-breaking while of a more po-
lite and elegant kind is none the
less reprehensible. They are break-
ing state law in adding the business
of coal-mining to that of common
carrier. They are breaking federal
law in combining to regulate out-
put and prices. And they are vio-
lating the interstate commerce law
in charging unreasonable prices for
the carriage of coal. Let the law-
less corporations be suppressed
equally with the lawless strikes.
And beyond all this is the necessity
of action to prevent a recurrence of
like disaster.
