WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW! 
'F YOU DON’T 8EE WHAT YOU WANT, A8K FOR IT ! 
The Atlantic Cable.—H ow large is it ? f. a. b. 
Ans.—Y ou don’t say which one; there are sev¬ 
eral. The first one put down was six-tenths of an 
inch in diameter. Another later one was 1% inch 
in diameter, and we believe the others are about 
the latter size. 
Parchment Butter Paper.- —Who manufactures 
paper for wrapping butter ? ■/„ a. 
New Jersey. 
•Ans.—A. G. Elliott & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 
Muskmelons in Heavy Clay.—How can I raise 
muskmelons in thick, heavy clay ? Will a bed of 
building sand and horse manure do it ? 
Watertown, N. Y. quercus. 
Ans.—Y ou can’t raise first-class melons in such 
soil. The soil should be light and warm. The best 
you can do is to underdrain it well, and work as 
much humus as possible into it. The sand will 
help. Read what is said about starting imisk- 
melons in hotbeds in The R. N.-Y. of March 23, 
page 201 . 
Preventing Buggy Beans.—How can I plant 
beans for winter use, so that they may be kept 
without getting buggy ? h. g. s. 
Yantic, Conn. 
Ans.—P lant as usual, and after harvesting, sub¬ 
ject at once to a temperature of 145 degrees F., or 
subject to the fumes of bisulphide of carbon, 
gasoline or benzine.
