FRENCH METHOD OF RAISING TOMATOES.

FRENCH METHOD OF RAISING TOMATOES.
AS soon as cluster of flowers is visible, the
stem is topped down to cluster, so that the
flowers terminate the stem. The effect is that
the sap is Immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which soon push
strongly and produce another cluster of
flowers each. When these are visible, the
branch to which they belong Is also topped
down to their level, and this is done success
fully. By this means the plants become
stout dwarf bushes, not above eighteen
inches high. In order to prevent their fall
ing over, sticks or strings are stretched hor.-
zontally along the rows, SO as to keep the
plants erect. In addition to this, all the
laterals that have no flowers, and after the
fifth topping. all laterals, whatsoever. are
nipped off. In this way the ripe sap is d.
rected into the fruit, which acquires beauty,
size and excellence unattained by other
means,

THE Dubuque Qowa) Democrat has the
following sad story: In 1859 there were
working in this Office four promising young
men, not one of whom is now living, and all
of whom died unusual deaths, none within
the reach of friendly aid: John Nicely died
of drowning in the river near French &
Davies mills; B. w. Burditt died of virulent
smallpox, where none of his friends were
permitted to enter in; Hamilton Thorington
was found dead in his bed one morning in a
St. Louis hospital; and lastly, George F.
Carpenter came to his death in the darkness
of the night at the hands Of an assassin.
Neither father, mother, brother nor sister nor
any friend, was with either in his last mo-
nent.

Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vermifuge Comfts," e.
though effectual in destroying worms, can 90
no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found TO be safe
ana sure in eradieating worms, so hurtful 70
children.
Children having Worms require immediate It
tention, neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Symptoms of Worms in children are often over
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use
of a sure remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com

How the Ready Relief Acts {!

In few minutes the patient will feel slight
tinoling irritation and the skin becomes red
dened; if there is much distress in the stomach,
the Relief will assist nature in removing the
offending cause,-a general warmth is felt
throughout the entire body, and its diffusive
stimulating properties rapidly courses through
every vein and tissue of the system, arousing the
slothful and partially paralyzed glands and
organs to renewed and healthy action. perspira-
ton follows, and the surface of the body feels
increased heat The sickness at stomach, colds,
chills, headache, oppressed breathing, the sore
ness of the throat, and all pains, either inter
nally or externally, rapidly subside, and the pa
tient falls into Tranquil sleep, awakes refresh
ed, invigorated, cured.
1t will be found that in using the Relief ex-
ternally, either on the spine or across the kid
neys, or over the stomach and bowels, that for
several days after a pleasing warmth will be
felt, showing the length of time it continues its
influence over the diseased parts.
