Tomatoes the Year Around.
Gabrielle, Fla.

The way to have tomatoes all the
year around is to SOW a dozen seed OF the
Turner's Hybrid or the LorillOrd varie-
ty in a box with rich soil. AS soon as
they put out the second pair of leaves
transplant into another box. setting
them six inches apart. After they are
three or four inches high cut square
around each plant with knife about an
inch from the plant each way, to.root;
prune them, letting them stand until
large enough for the garden. Then Olga
place foot square by ten or twelve
inches deep and fill with leaf mold or
muck and we'll rotted stable manure; set
out four plants and tie to stakes as fast
as they grow. You can pinch off all side
shoots if you wish to make the fruit lar
ger. Keep the box with the rich soil for
another dozen seed to be treated in the
same way for another dozen holes like the
first, as soon as they are full of fruit.
When the first dozen are through with
their best fruit, pull them up and put new
plants in their places. G. e. NENA.

moisture when blooming. When the
vines begin to run tie them to the poles
if necessary to keep them from the
ground. They will soon out run the
poles, swing few feet in the air, drop to
the poles and run up again, and become
a mass of bloom and pods. [ write that
which do know from experience You can
plant them from the first OF April to the
last of June They will bear abundantly
till killed by frost. The shape of the
structure is like the framework of the
roof of house, with section of inverted
roof each having a ridge pole, or in other
words the rafters project couple of feet
orso. This roof shapekeeps the ground
desirably cool between the rows ofbeans.
Plants requiring shade can be grown un-
der this shelter-tent of vines if desired.

Training Orange Trees.

The man who does not prune his or
ange trees at all commits almost as
grave an error as the OnewhO prunes too
much. If the object is to raise trees for
fruit, trim them so that the limbs will
grow nearly to the ground, but if for
ornamental purposes, trim "horse-high.' y
We must have the clearing surface"
and a tree trimmed low will bear twice
as much fruit, at same age, as one trimmed
high. But my object in this note is to
call the attention of orange growers to
the Importance of tieing up limbs that
grow down to the ground, as many of
our budded trees are inclined to do, in
stead of cutting them off. Take stout
strip Of cloth and tie them up where you
want them to grow, and by the time the
cloth rOts and breaks, the limbs will stay
where you put it, and many valuable
limbs can be saved in this manner. Try
it, and you will be agreeably surprised at
the results, and wonder why you have
not practicedit before. c. O. MYERS.

weeyils would not destroy it before spring.
He replied, mo, it is such O. hard flint
corn, that the weevils cannot hurt it,"
Yesterday he sent me a sample of the
corn. The ears are about eight inches
long, having sixteen rows of kernels and
a very small cob. The grain is exceed
ingly hard. This variety may be well
known to the native farmers, but | am
sure it will be new to many from the
North and it seems to be lust what they
need.
Experience has shown that the common
white sweet potato of Florida is more
productive on moist soil, under ordinary
cultivation, than the yellow varieties
usually grown at the North. Sweet po-
tatoes and corn are probably not the on
ly crops which have adapted themselves,
or been adal ted by careful selection of
seed, to theconditions surrounding them.
If you are from the North, and have not
been assuccessful as you wish, look about
among your neighbors and see if you
cannot find varieties of seed which will
thrive better when grown on your farm,
than those which you have been cultivat-
ing. If not get the best you can and try
to improve it by using the best each year
for seed. w. c. STEELE.

Varieties Adapted to Surrounding
Conditions.

Varieties Adapted to Surrounding
Conditions.
Native Floridians make a living from
the soil and gradually improve their con-
ditions. while in the same neighborhood
men who were considered good farmers
at the North make an utter failure. It
is not probable that the experience of
generations has evolved methods of
farming better adapted to this soil and
climate, than those common at the
North? Methods which may bel odifed,
often improved upon, but which cannot
be safely ignored by any one who wishes
to be q successful farmer.
The selection of varieties best adapted
to the soil and climate and surrounding
conditions is an important factor in the
farming problem. A neighbor formerly
from Missouri, raised a fair crop of corn
last year. When ripe the crows came, in
clouds, and gathered more than their
share. This year I noticed, few weeks
ago, that he had the same field in corn
again, and that it was nearly ripe. |
asked him if the crows were not troubl-
ing it this year He said, ''No, got a
variety this year with such thick husks
that the crows cannot get at the grain"
He said he had corn enough to keep his
horse all no--tt winter. [ asked if the

Lima Beans i'm Florida.

| have seen nothing in the agricultural
or other newspapers about the impOr-
t Ince OF Lima beans as q Florida crop,
nor any directions as to the best mode of
growing them. In fact it was not until
the present week that |. thought seriously
of the great Importance of the Lima
bean to Florida. They are grown in i'm
mense quantities in California and our
grocers sell them to us slow going Florid-
ians. We shall never prosper as State
until we stay athome and attend to our
proper business--the growing of.the larger
portion Of our home supplies. But to
beans! We ought not only to know
beans but, also, how to grow Limas.
The plan [ unfold is no theorybut has
been successfully practiced. Choose a
piece of good land make sure it is well
drained. Put the ground in thorough
state of tilth to a good depth; fertilize
rally-fresh, half rotted manure must
not be used. Mix thefertilizer thorough
ly with the soil, then give a liberal top
dressing andlrake inithorOughly. Lay
out the bean rows three to four feet apart;
set pair of good poles at each end of
the rows, opposite each other, incline
them to each other and wire together
sevenfeet from the ground. Set and wire
like pairs OF pole every ten feet. Into
the angle made by the crossing of the
poles lay poles horizontally for a ridge
pole. Then set your ordinary bean poles
one foot apart, incline them SO they will
rest on the ridge pole and project foot
or two. Poles laid in the angle thus
made will hold them secure. Plant your
beans between the poles, eye downward,
six inches apart and two inches deep,
press down firmly with the foot. That
gives two vines to each pole. Cultivate
frequently; water copiously when neces-
sary especially be sure they do not lack

In the Saddle.

Teach your saddle horse to rein by
the neck, or turn to the right or to the
left by the indirect Indication" rs
the riding masters term it. 1t makes
horses much pleasanter to ride than If
they have to be pulled around by the
bit. To teach horse this simple trick.
exert slight pressure Of the rein on
the side toward which you wish TO
turn. and an instant later press the
outside or opposite rein against the
neck, at the same time giving slight
impulse with the outside heel. that Is
with the left heel IL turning to the
right, and with the right heel II turn
ing to the left. This keeps the horses
Group In proper position. A lady rider
must make her whip take the place OF
the right heel. It is far easier to teach
horse prompt obedience to the indi-
rect indication, while riding him in an
enclosure, than when riding him in
the open; the fences, or walls, at the
turns making clearer to him what his
rider wishes him to do. Give the first
lessons at a walk and be certain that
your horse understands clearly what
the indications mean before attempting
them at the trot or canter.
