Messrs. Editors:— Once or twice before I have 
undertaken to tell my young friends who read this 
department of the Rural how to grow Melons. I 
do so with good confidence that I am not writing 
about an uninteresting subject, for all the boys and 
girls like good melons. The best soil for the melon 
is one that is warm and sandy; in fact, I do not 
care how sandy it is if I have a little well rotted 
manure to enrich it with. But all who would like 
to grow and eat melons cannot find such a soil as 
this, and therefore they must plant on the best 
they have. There are very few difficulties of this 
kind, however, that cannot be overcome, if wo try 
in earnest. This is a lesson that I learned long 
ago, and never have forgotten it. This is the way
