WHAT IS LOVE.
Perhaps one of the most difficult
problems in life is to be able to de-
termine exactly when love begins.
There are so.many wretched counter-
feits, so many imitations, tbat we are
inclined, to be suspicious, and doubt the
reality of the first symptoms, and wait
until some more definite act, some
more decided word, should prove the
genuineness of the affections of him.

But when true love reigns supreme
there is very little doubt of its exis-
tence; and. when a man seeks a girl

he makes his own opportunities of
meeting her, when his eyes light up
when she enters the room, and when
she heara that he is gloomy and de-
pressed. at her absenee-she need have
no doubt that his heart is safe in her
keeping.

Nthese and sit:niter tokens are

rough and scabby, and Ls "waxy" rath-

either front blight:, or its foliage was

that are considerably injured by the
potato beetle. These the grower of
potatoes for seed will throw out by
themselves when he is harvesting the
crop. Potatoes thus grown will tut-
turally cost more ' then those taken
from. crops grown andi harvested the
usual way. It is not necessary for
seed potatoes that the tu.bers should
be lenge. If well ripenea, medium and
even smeil pet:aloes are as good, as any,

BIELON-CULTURE.
The best fertilizer for i'fatermelons
is 13arnyarct manure, well rotted and
disintegrated; fresh manure, especially
in dry seasons, is not nearly so effec-
tive. If e manure is scarce, use EOM-
thorcial fertilizers; a, good. mixture is
800 lb. nitrate of Soda., 1,000 lb. super-
phosphetea acid phosphate, and 260 lb.
-nzurLate of potiefi, making one ton;
uae, 500 to 800 lb. per acre. Water-
melons thrive best on sandy soil. It
manure is to be used, plough mid
thoroughly • harrow; oroes-xuark the
ground, rows to be eight feet apart.
The manure can be applied, two shovel-
fuls; or more if it can be spread, at
eachinterection, in either of two ways
-by spading or forking it in, or by
digging holes, placing the manure
therein and covering the soil; We pres
fer the latter plan, though it takes
rather more time. In the 'case of com-
mercial foreitizers, after ploughing and
once harrowing to level the soil, broad-
cast the mixture, then finish harrow -
hag thoroughly. If the soil is very
sencly, nitrate. of soda being so soluble,
it might he advisable to omit it from

PRUNING, •
In pruning trees the brenohes I'S -
moved should be sawed off close to the
main trunk or limb on whieh they
•grew. If e long stab is left the wound
will not heal over, but rein.ain open
subject to the ettaek• of diseaee germs,
• tvhich, when they have once gained en-
trance, are sure sooner or later to pro-
duce "Black 'Heart," which may ex-
tend. through -the whole tree.
• In cutting back small branches or
"leading -in' the cut should be made
just above a good strong bud so that
no stu.b is left to is back and invite
disease.
All large wounds should be painted._
over to prevent "(thee/ring," and. to
keep out germs while the healing pro-
cess is going on. When smaller
branchen have been replayed or out
back, it is well td spray the whole tree
with Bordeau,x 'mixture, which not
only prevents germs from entering the
wounds, but also checks their growth
on other parts of the trees.

'the curse of wur fell on hhe island,
Cuba exported 718,204 bons of sugar and
produced 815,894 tans. Its exports of
molasses to the United. States alone in
that year wore 7,654 hogsheads. Of
rum the expopts were 9,308 pipes. in
1893 the Cuban exports of leaf tobacco
were 227,865 bales. 01. manufactured
etgare 147,365,000 were exported enct of
• cigarettes 89,581,493 packages. These
are only the mai a experts. They' show
what may be done with the exhaustless
soil and climate of the island when its
people were in a condition of virtual
slavery at a time when chattel slav-
ery had bB021 abolished only • se:ven

growling in spite Olf the dirain upon her
