Those farmers in the West and South
who raise grain and stock should GER

can be grown as OF corn. thus making
them the cheapest to raise They can
be easily grown on almost any kind OF
soil where water does not stand ut any
time. but on low land the ridges should
be made quite high. and plants OF the
Golden Queen and Red Bermuda set ut
least two feet apart on the ridge. The
above kinds are the most productive
and are excellent varieties for the table.

The Many Uses to which SON steel CAL
vanised Wire Can Be Put
Soft steel galvanized wire, such rs
is used for cheap telephones, Is won
dcrfully useful about the house or the
farm. With good pair OF pliers, II
can be used almost like string. When
this can not be had. common copper
wire will answer just as we'll, but is a
triie more expensive and not rs
strong. In the absence Of these the
soft iron wire used by stove men for
putting up stove pipe will answer.
The latter. however. Is rather large.
Having either OF these soft wires we
may sew button upon stiff cloth.
fasten the ear Of a tin pail in place. or
bind a volume OF periodicals. With
the copper wire leather can be fns-
tened in many places. as for example

Tomatoes can be supported by . pair
Of wires stretched along the row, one

before the vines begin to spread at the
