HINTS ON PLANTING.

The TOmatO.-Tomato plants
should be set out about the first OF
June; the ground should have
been made very rich, and if 1t is
kept free from weeds, no further
attention will be required. Just
before frost the vine may be taken
up with all the earth that can be
sept adbering to the root, and
transferred to the cellar, where all
the fullgrown tomatoes not already
picked will ripen.
Pole or Running BeaaS.-These
cannot be planted until settled
mild weather, say from the Goth OF
May until the LIST of June. -Four
plants in hill, with hills four feet
apart each way, is as close as they
should be grown, as they require
plenty of air and light. Limas
and sievas beng very tender should
not be planted before June l. For
shell beans, the best kinds are
large white lima, sieva or small
and pole horticultural. Either the
black wax pole or Indian chief is
an excellent snap or string beam
The dwarf kinds are far superior
for the latter use to the pole beans.
Bush or D'earf BeGnS.-ThOugh
somewhat harder than the pie.
ceding, they should not be planted
until settled weather. All beans
do best in warm light soil, but will
flourish in almost any soil or situa-
ton unless shaded or very vet
Early yellow six weeks and dwarf
horticultural are the best among
the green-podded kinds. For yellow
varieties, golden wax. white wax
and black wax take the lead. OF
string beans, as we need a bountl-
full supply, plant One.half row of
early yellow six weeks and one
half of golden wax, say May co.
Then wait till about June 10, aud
plant at that time another half
row of golden wax and half row of
dwarf horticultural.
The Beet.-It requires a deep,
sandy loan should be sown as
early as the ground Is in good
working order, and the plants, az
soon as we'll up, should be thinned
to eight or ten inches apart for the
early crop. Sowing for the winter
crop should be about July l or n
little earlier. Less thinning will be
proper than tor the early CROP
Four to five inches apart will be
enough. The early Bastian and
Dewlng's early turnip are stand
ards for both early and late crops.
Beet tops used as greens are by
many preferred to dandeliOn or
spinach the Swiss chard or silver
beet is grown entirely for this
purpose. 1t sends out fresh sprouts
continuously during the season, no
matter how often cut Of.
CdbJdge.-One had better buy
the few plants he will require for
the early crop than attempt to
raise them from seed, unless he
has hOt-beds or chooses TO raise
the plants for the pleasure of grow
ing them. They should be set in
the ground about the Goth of April.
Winter cabbages can be raised
from seed sown in open ground be-
tween the 10th and Goth of June

FARN and HOUSEHOLD,
Are There Sufficient Reasons for Our
Young Men to Remain Farmers


Tread before the Convention of Farmers of
Northern Virginia by G. T. Lukens.
The first reason for a boy remain
ing on the farm should be, because
he prefers the lite Of a farmer TO
any other.
The second reason is, because he
has been raised on a farm and his
early training, If it has been such
as most farmers boys get, has
formed habits which are requisite
in the making of successful farm
er, but which to city boys would
seem exacting and unbearable.
Another reason is, 1t is the most
healthy life he can lead. He will
not be confined in an Office or
store all day, but will be out where
he can feel the invigorating in
duence of pure and wholesome
atmosphere.
His opportunities for amuse-
ment and social enjoyment are as
good, if not better, than no would
have IN the city. If there is to be
an exhibition of great talent on the
stage or elsewhere, why in this
age of railroads it Is almost as con-
venienU for people living in the
country to visit them as it is for
the city people, And most Ger.
tainly a young man IN the country
is not Oeset on all sides by the evil
temptations he would be if in the
city.
To be sure there are, occasional
ly, young men who go to the city
and become rich, but to one Of these
how many are there who see the
time when they bitterly repent of
ever having left the farm with its
hard work and poky ways
1t is only the few who do get
rich that we hear about and not
the great majority who are striving
on after wealth only to meet with
disappointment, until of sudden
they find they have grown old and
wo' n out. So, they give it up and
go down to their graves thinking
what a hard world this is.
Therefore let every young man
carefully consider what his pros
poets are, and what he has the
ability and liking for, before he
pulls mp his stakes and leaves the
old bOuestead.
