Best Results from Tomatoes.

When pruned and staked. tomato
leesit BY iour is about the proper distance.
As soon as set in the field the plants
ought to be tied. Set strong stakes at
each end Of every row and brace care
fully. Smaller stakes may be set st in
tervals of two rods along the rows. These
stakes should be about 80 feet high.
Next stretch two wires. OF about the
size used in baling hay along the tops OF
the stakes in each row. Take ordinary
laths or small sticks of any kind, OF the
same length as lath and stick one just
at the side OF the place that each plant
is to occupy. The upper ends OF the
stakes are held in place by weaving the
wires around the tops of the stakes or
laths. This makes neat and substsn-
tial trellis. The plants are trained to
eingle stems and tied to lath supports.
Of course tying must be done at sue
cessive intervals, az the plants increase
In height, until the top Of the trellis is
reached, after which nothing further
need be done in the way OF training.
All side shoots near the ground, and
suckers. must be pinched OF, as the
object to be gained in stalking would be
lost otherwise. None of the blossoms
are to be removed. but simply the leafy
shoots and suckers, which bear no blos-
soms and come out near the ground, and
at intervals along the main stock.
Pruning away these surplus shoots and
tying the plants to supports exposes the
fruit to the sunlight and favora early de-
velopment to marked degree. Toma-
toes thus Jrained ripen about two weeks
in advance of those which are allowed to
lie on the ground, are freer from root
and larger. The crop per plant is less
than by the ordinary method, but be.
cause OF the higher prices obtained for
the fruit the profits are larger.

A pigeon fancler contributes 10
poultry journal the following practical
remarks:
The birds being paired. the next thing
to do is to make them become acquainted
with their respective pens. For this pur-
pose they should be penned up for few
days, or longer II necessary, in the pens
designed for them, during which time
they will match strong, and become we'll
acquainted with their habitation. The
fancier should then begin by opening
two Of the pens that are most remote
from each other; the birds finding no
entrance to any other, will readily learn
to know the place they came out ol.
When these two pairs are well acquaint-
ed with their pens, they should be
fas tened up again, aud two other pair
let out; remember to let out such as are
most distant from each other, by which
means they will be less liable to mistake
each others bone. He must proceed
till the whole are we'll acquainted with
their respective abodes.
Care should be taken to prevent q cock
getting master Of two pens; II once he
gets habit of going into another birds
pen, be assured he will never rect till he
has driven that cock and hen from their
house, spoiled their eggs or killed their
young ones. When this has become very
troublesome, the only remedy is to put
him and his hen into another room, for
1t 10 almost impossible to break him OF
this trick il once he gets master. Thus
the advantage OF dividing the loft is
clearly shown-without this convenience
he must be under the necessity of keep
ing that pair Of birds constantly penned
up, which would be very preiudicial to
their health and fill them with vermin.
During this period the young iancier
must bestow little time in watching
them and putting them few times into
their own pens, if they are at loss to
find them. By attending to these rules,
the birds will soon become steady and
settled. Particular care should be taken
always to give the cock ths same haDita-
ton he had last year, il not he will get
master of two pens and occasion the
difficulty just mentioned. The same care
is not necessary with regard to the hens,
a. they will always follow their cocks
when thoroughly matched.

The Coal Strike In England.

1t is only paralleled in recent time by
the strike begun by the wool shearers in
Australia several years ago. After three
months it has not yet entirely ended. 1t
lasted in its greatest dimensions three
months and forced the price of house
coal up to SO ton in London. Three
quarters of a million men, women and
children were toward its close dependent
on public charity for every bite of food
they got. In Lancashire alone 300. 900
persons were thus dependent.
The result at the end did not justify
the long privation. The striking miners
did not gain all of what they strove to
win. Those that were taken back re-
turned mostly at the old wages, it is true,
but in south Derbyshire and Leicester
shire they resumed work on the under
standing with the mine owners that they
We're to be cut down 10 per cent in De-
cember. The real gain of this long
struggle lies in the fact that it has called
public attention in Great Britain to the
way in which the mine owners impose
upon both the miners and the public.
In nearly every case where the men
went back to work it was as the result of
conference called by the mayors of the
large cities in their district. 1t has been
revealed that among mine owners exists
the keenest rivalry to secure large coal
supply contracts, such as are given to
them by railway, steamship and gas COM
panies. To this end they cut down the
great contracts to a price almost below
the cost of production. Then they make
it back by putting the rates up on the
private consumer on the one hand, and
cutting down the wages of the miner on
the other. 1t is time they came to the
end of their rope.

az sometimes think that if the United
States so willed it she might become the
mightiest naval power the world has
ever seen," writes Admiral P. II. Co
lomb of the royal navy in The North
American Review. That is what we
think of ourselves, Admiral Colomb.
The admiral believes further that our
situation and general policy" seem to
lead us at present toward the control of
the naval forces of the South American
states, seeing that it is apparently i'm
possible for those states to control their
own navies. Well, we would not think
of it, except in one particular case. That
/ would occur if the European powers
should themselves ever attempt to put
in hand and secure control of any of
those turbulent, half civilized states.
For instance, just now off Rio Janeiro,
England, France and German naval
ships are taking a much warmer inter
est in the fight between the Brazilian
congress and navy than the situation ap-
pears to justify. If they should under
take "'for the protection of foreign citi-

fat but discordant republic for them
selves, then there would be use for the
United States navy very quick.
Meantime we shall be glad to take ad-
vantage of the wise hints the admiral
gives us on building future naval ships.
| He calls the huge vessels of the type of
the i'll fated Victoria glorious mon
|
designing brain ON land in times of
peace. There will be a return to the old
broadside battleship of moderate di-
mansions without the tremendously
heavy guns. Lighter guns can do quick
er and deadlier execution than these
electricity can now revolve a whole ship
| as quickly as n gun can be revolved.
| Therei is demand for the two classes of
naval vessels still, the line of battle ship
| and the cruiser. He sees little call for
the cruiser and battleship combined, for
such vessel will he a failure in both re-
spects. Every vessel must be built to
fight those of its own class, cruiser
against cruiser, battleship against bat
tleship. Moderate speed is better than
terrific speed at forced pressure. The
practice of sheathing the steel bottoms
of naval ships with copper will proba-
bly, come in. The admiral also seems to
expect that the era of liquid fuel will
shortly do away with the great coal
room now required. He thinks Ameri-
ca needs at present cruisers with great
coal endurance and considerable often
sive power. Finally the fight between
the Monitor and Merrimac was in his
judgment the decisive battle of our civil
war.

How to Use Charcoal In Place of Ice.

For keeping large pieces Of meat and
poultry here is a simple device: Have a
large barrel or hogshead half filed with
charcoal. Put meat hooks in a strip Of
joist and place across the top of the bar
rel Have netting to spread over this.
This barrel may be kept in a cool place
and pieces of meat be hung on the hooks
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere
dry and sweet, and the netting will be a
protection against insects. Should there
be danger from rats or mice use wire
netting.
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt,
wrapped in paper and buried in bed Of
charcoal OF course the charcoal in
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once a month. 1t can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats or
fish. If, however, it it difficult to get a
good supply of charcoal, the old can be
purified by putting it into the stove with
few lighted chips and allowing it to
burn until redhot. At this stage open
all the windows to let the gas pass off;
then close the drafts of thestove, remove
the covers and leave the room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, it will be
ready for use again = Ladies' Home

hopeful of success. Mr. Turpin says Eng

The decline is already apparent. In the
