FOR THE FARMERS
Useful Information Concern.
ing Farm Work.
NEW IDEAS IN AGRICULTURE
Few Condensed Rules ON Operat-
ing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

We reply to a request for hints ON
tomato culture as follows: For very
early fruit the seed should be sown III
a hot-bed about the early part of March
i'll drills five inches apart and half an
inch deep. Sufficient plants for
small garden may be started by sowing
a few seeds in a shallow box or flower
pot and placing i'll a window III the
house. When the plants are three or
four inches high they should be set out
apart, in another hot bed or cold frame,
OF removed into small pots, allowing
single plant to a pot. Expose to the
air as much as possible to harden.
Water freely at time of transplanting,
and shelter from the sun few days
until the plants are established. Gull
tivate thoroughly as long as the vines
will permit. Tomatoes will admit of
training to stakes or trelliSes of various
kinds, and the fruit is very much i'm
proved, not only i'll appearance but i'll
quality. This mode of cultivation is
quite common among gardeners who
grow for early market. The usual
method Is to set one strong plant to a
stake, using stakes five to seven feet
high, tying the plants up with wool
or other strong, soft Irvine, pruning
out quite freely as vines advance in
growth. By adopting this method
plants may be set much closer than III
the ordinary way. For fine, large spec
linens Of high color and attractive APP
pearance generally, grow the clusters
of fruit in paper sacks, as is commonly
practiced by grape growers. The sack
should be put on when the tomatoes are
about three-fourths grown.

Notes.

Never overfeed the pullet. No poul-
try should be overfed but overfeed-
ing the pullet is disastrous.
Unless there is some variety of food
the appetites of the hens will not be
maintained in the best vigor.
When hogs are fed upon alfalfa,
they can be finished up nicely on
Egyptian corn, and in some sections
where alfalfa grows, this corn grows
better than any other fat producing
grain.
Young animals should be fed consid-
cradle bulk in order to develop the
stomach. Heifer calves especially
should be fed considerable bulky food.
When concentrated food alone is fed
the stomach is contracted.
A poultry keeper has removed all the
roosts and furnishes clean straw for a
bed for his hens. This is taken ont
every day and the house swept. He
claims that this is preventive OF lice
and promoter Of egg-laying.
When eggs are high some one recon-
mends that they be marketed III neat
baskets holding a dozen. 1t is claimed
that the eggs will sell for enough to
more than pay for the basket. Appear
ances unquestionably have much to do
in selling an article.
1t is said that pruning potatoes to two
stalks in the hill has produced larger
tubers and a greater yield. This is
done on the theory that we prune vines
and trees and pinch back melons and
tomatoes. The theory is all right. Too
much energy can go into tops.
To make grating wax we recon-
mend the following which we find in
print: Take resin four parts by weight;
beeswax, two parts; tallow, one part.
Melt together and pour into pail of
cold water. Then grease the hands and
pull the same as molasses candy is pull
ed until it is nearly white, and make
into balls. When ready to use put into
warm water, pull out and wrap round
the graft.

THE ADVANCE IN OIL.
1t Continues and SO Does the Excite
ment Consequent Upon the Rise.

1t Continues and So Does the Excite
ment Consequent Upon the Rise.
Pittsburg, April 13-The oil excite
ment continues undated. The Stand
ard Company put the price up 5 cents
to $3.50. On change cash oil opened
at $3.50 and sold up to SLIGO May
options opened at 81. 80 bid. The first
sale was at Sl.60. 1t then broke to
$l.58 and rallied to SLIGO on sales. 1t
was then bid up to $1.6S without sales
at l O'Clock. The opening sales was a
cash order for 10000 barrels at 81. so.
The next sale was three-eighths niger.
The first sale i'll May options was at
S1.60 This is the highest oil has been
since 1887, when is sold as high as
So. 53.
Speculation hitherto confined to the
National Transit certificates has been
transferred TO the Mellon pipe line GER
titicates. and the sale of 10000 barrels
was made here today.
So far this week the advance amounts
to 40 cents a barrel by the Standard and
43 cents ON exchange for May option.
To the producers of Western Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia this means
$37, 800 a day more than they We're get
ting for oil last week, or an increase of
50, 800, 900 per month 1t has greatly
stimulated activity III the field, and
not only furnishes additional work for
hundreds of oildrillers, but has also in
creased the demand for oil and steel
supplies consumed in the business. SO
far the consumer has been taxed an adj
ditional cent per gallon for illuminat-
ing oil, but further advance is almost
certain.
For the first time i'll years there was
some trading today i'll oil on the local
stock exchange, and it is estimated
about 10000 barrels changed hands.
Heretofore few thousand barrels would
change hands now and then, but nothing
worth mentioning passed through the
clearing house. The producers are the
only people that are reaping a harvest.
In two days the price for not only Penn
sylvania, but all other oils, has adj
vanced about 36 cents barrel. From
a speculative point there could have
been very little money made, as no one
has been trading in oil for years.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 16-John
Thompson, an cX-convict, was arrested
late last night on a felony charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods. Thompson has
been a 'fence" for a gang of burglars
and thieves for Il year. In his room
We're found diamonds, gold rings, sill
verware and all other kinds of valuable
jewelry. A package of melted gold,
which he shipped to the San Francisco
mint was the means of locating the
stolen goods. The thieves have not
been captured. Thompson has served
terms in Sing Sing, Folsom and San

where Cleveland win Paw M. "a,

Washington, April 13. - There Is
much speculation as To where President
Cleveland will pay his income tax
There is a possibility that he NAV elect
to make his return in New York as
resident of that state, of which he is a
citizen and voter. The general imnres.
sion seems to he, in fact Private Score.
tary Thurber is said to have so stated
that the president will pay his tax as n
resident of Washington, and that his
return will go in with those from the
District of Columbia 1t is known
that the presidents tax will amount 70
at least 1920. He will be allowed q
reduction of $4,000 from his salary of
$50, 600, but will have to pay the ? per
cent ON the remaining $40, 900. What
other sources of income the president
may have which are not exempted bv
the recent decision of the supreme
court, are not known. While the pres
ident is expected to pay his income tax
here, that paid by the members of his
cabinet, it is believed, will be RENTED
to the collectors of their various home
districts, to be returned by them from
the states i'll which they reside.

THE MONTEREY'S TRIO.
She Left San Diego Suddenly and With
Much Secrecy.

San Diego, Cal, April 13. - The
coast defense vessel Monterey departed
this morning with more secrecy than is
usually the case when a vessel leaves
on leisurely cruise. The fact that
Lieutenant Baker, of General McCoOk' S
staff. arrived in haste from Denver, and
supposed to have embarked on the Mon
terey, adds to the mystery of her desti-
nation. A remark was dropped by one
of the officers before sailing that the
vessel was going to Corinto, and that
the authorities at Washington INDUCED
in little fiction regarding cruise to
Callao to keep inquisitive people off the
scent. The sudden illness of Surgeon
Whiting assumed SO grave an aspect
last night that a strong attempt was
made to secure another officer in his
stead for the cruise, but owing to the
short stay of the Monterey, it was i'm
possible, and he sailed with his ship.
The cruiser Olympia is not expected
until next week, and it is stated that
her stay will be as brief as that of the
Monterey, merely long enough to re-
plenish coal and hurry away toward
Nicaragua.

The STANDARD American Poultry
Book" gives the following condensed
rules for successfully operating incuba-
tors: /. Keep the temperature as near
1913 degrees as possible. 2. Turn the
eggs twice a day 3. Cool them well
once day. 4. Place wet sponges in
the egg drawer from which to impart
moisture. 5. Avoid handling the eggs,
using gloves if necessary. 6. Allow
plenty of ventilation in the room where
the machine is operated. 7. When
the chicks are coming out do not open
the drawer as cool air is injurious. s.
Let the chicks dry well before remov-
ing them to the brooder. 8. Select
eggs only from strong, healthy stock,
rejecting those that are very small,
very large, misshapen or otherwise inn
perfect. 10. Keep strangers away, es-
pecially if they wish to inspect the egg
drawer. II. Have regular hours for
doing all the work ~. Do not believe
that child can manage it. Persons
beginning with incubators will prob
ably have little success in operating at
first, but should not become discour-
aged. No one can take new machine
and run it successfully until he has
learned to manage it. Regulating
the heat and amount of moisture can
only be learned by experience.

Their Titles Defective.

Sioux City, Ia, April 16.-Great ex-
element has been caused here by the
belief among property-holders that
titles to all the properties in the bust
ness part of the city are defective. Ac-
cording to the records the original
plat is situated il. section Is, while i'll
reality the town is in section IS. All
the descriptions in the deeds of the
property are consequently worthless.
The trouble is further complicated by
the failure of Henry Aldren, the founder
of the town, to sign the plat, and the
omission of the surveyor, who laid out
the place, to survey it to correspond
with the government survey. There is
talk of an effort by the original owners
to force all the present occupants of the
property to vacate. An interesting
litigation is in prospect.
