There are several ways Of growing to-
matoes, hut a plan which is liked by
many and especially when not more
than an acre is planted. is as follows,
says The New England Homestead;
After blowing the soil thoroughly and
then narrowing in half or whole ton
of some good fertilizer, check off the
land five by five feet, and ut each inter
section Of the burrows drive down a
stout stake Is inches in the soil, leaving
three feet above In triangle about
this stake set three plants, l. or . inch
es from the stake Before the plants
fall over encircle them and stake with a
broad strong band, drawing the plant7
in just little If the band is placed
about - inches from the ground it will
be sufficient to hold up the fruit from
the ground, but if the vines grow very
large Il second band may be put ON later,
but one is usually enough Each hill

do not think that the size of the egg

that an i'll fed, half starved hen would

theory ON my part. AS to small eggs in

intellectual men and women have a

really pity that anybody should con-

What Miss de Lussan says of her pro-

Senator Stevens sent up a resolu-
ton which was drawn by the Patriotic
Sons of the American Revolution, and
was adopted. 1t is as follows:

statutory amount
Senator SevatSon said that he want

the session relative to salaries of file
clerks and door keepers, and increas-

Senator Greer contended that the
resolution was an ordinary one, in
that 1T fixed the compensation as pro-
vided for by an old law and not in ac-
cordance with a resolution on the first
day of the session. In view of the
ruling he moved the passage of the
resolution under a suspension of the
rules. The rules were not suspended.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on legislative expenses.
