ToMAToEs-TRATSISG, PRUNING, ETC.-Of
the various ways Of training tomatoes we prefer one
two simple methods neither Of which is sufficiently
employed. One upon permanent trelises to be saved
aud used each year. They are conveniently made o.
three.inch strips OF board. six feet long one end
sharpened to be driven into the ground. Saw laths
into three pieces sixteen inches long, nail one on top
the others eighteen inches from this and each other
then set, with iron bar, eighteen inches into the
ground and the thing il complete. As the plants grow
spread out prune as needu aud tie to the central stake
and arms in fan shape. The shoots should be nipped
when they have reached the top OF the tels and u
OF large size and in abundance will be the result.
The other plan is to split barrel slaves into two or
three pieces and drive them into the ground short dis
lance around the plant farng outward from the bot
tom. Place q barrel hoop the top and tie or nail 1t
there and the thing is done. The branches aud fruit
will hang out between the slaves or bend over the up
but will rarely touch the ground. Trained In one OF
these methods the fruit rpens earlier being more ex
posed the 1t is useless to tie tomato to SIN

been attempted 1t is needless TO add that the police
are on the alert and will every endeavor to secure
