MUSK MELONS. 
, Mue1 '' Melons should be more largely grown in the Northern States. 
Their culture is not difficult, and our seasons are long enough to produce a 
fine crop of the best quality of Melons, if given good culture and a rich mel- 
low soil. To prevent the attacks of insects when young is the greatest dif- 
ficulty in growing all vine crops, but by planting plenty of seed to the hill 
and thoroughly dusting the young plants wilh air slacked lime, land plaster 
or fine road dust, will always insure a stand; when danger from insects is 
over, pull out all but three plants to the hill and keep ground well cultivated 
without disturbing the vines. Plant in hills 4 to 6 feet apart.
