Ila,y To Ira n Tomato Plants.

HOW I'D HI IL Iuhftto skstiaS
In all my experience and oblorva'
ton in the cultivation Of tho tomato
plant, I have never seen SO profitable
q way as il practiced by my next
neighbor. When his ground is mado
ready no sets tho plants in row about
fonr feet apart aud three feet in the
row. When about o foot high he
plsces q stake about six feet long
firmly driven into tho ground, loav-
ing about four AMI hall feet above
the ground. To these stakes the
stalks arc tied. pains being taken as
ia, plaa.s geow TO have n croch at
or near the ground. As thsso two
branches grow he entwines thcm
about the stake. When any branch
cs start out Of the main stalks, they
arc allowed to grow few inches
long, then headed in by taking of
tho terminal buds. In that way
many side branches are furnished
for bearing.
When planted in this way, the
plau.s are essiiy cultivated; light. air
freely circulstes in every part. The
tomatoes being thus favored grow
very largo, and being so far above
grouad. and free fs0m dirt, and oil
washing and cloaaiug are avoided
They are ready for market whom
picked. Where there is not suit
able branch formed near tho ground
one stalk Is wOund around the stake
aud does very well. When The stalks
reach tho top Of tho stake they arc
&c. allowed 20 so higher. On plants
set ont il this climate about The last
Of April or first ct May, the FIRST ripe
f,uis appears about the middle OF
July, and growth OF vine and yield OF
frni. contiau Until frost kills the
loaycs usually three mon'hs OF ripou-

Ny neighbor tells mo That in q
good growing season he has picked
from half = DASHED to three pocks
from each average stake, and no lar
ger or smoother tomatoes than his
uP?ese in market. Ha a.so tells mt
that hs would rather have tue stakes
tailor than shorter. In this way OF

leading man in the race for the Repub-

district, and seems to be growing in
strength day by day. 1t is more than
likely that Mr.. loud will receive the
nomination, for the contest is virtually
between him and Mr.. Hatch, of Bay
City, and there is no likelihood of the
delegation from Bay county uniting
upon the latter gentleman. Next to
Mr.. Loud, Mr.. Hatch is probably the
best Of the candidates thus far named,
but his chances are slim unless his
home delegates go into the convention
as a unit in his favor. Mr.. Loud ha,
been n worker in the Republican party
for many years, and is thorough
scholar and a successful business man

ioe and snow were common in June
throughout Connecticut, and the snow
fell five inches deep in New York, and
i'm Massachusetts, ten inches deep on
June 10. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. On the 5th ice formed
to the thickness of window glass in
Canton, Conn. and throughout New
England and Pennsylvania corn was
nearly all destroyed in many sections.
In August ice formed half An inch
thick in Litchheld. A cold northern
wind prevailed nearly all summer with

that n greater part was cut down and
dried for fodder. Farmers were Obliged
