THE FARMING WORLD.
TRAINING TOMATOES.

How to support the Vines to Keep Them
On the Ground.
a correspondent asks about the best
way to train tomatoes. We presume
our friend wants to know how best to
support them to keep them off the
ground, and prevent them from rot
ting, as they are apt to do when
allowed to fall down and grow unre-
stricted.
There are several plans that are
good, says the Farm. One is to drive
four stakes around the plant about
two feet apart and fasten crossties to
them, making square support and
training the vines to grow up over
these and droop down the outside.
This does very well if the vines are to
be allowed to grow as rankly as they
will, and where the crop is of any size
is about the best way we know of. For
the number of plants that are grown
in an ordinary garden we prefer to tie
each vine to single stake three feet
high, and keep it pretty well pruned.
We allow branch to start out and
grow until blossoms appear on it and
pinch it off just above the blossoms.
All the numerous branches that spring
out along the sides are looked after
strength of the vine is reserved for
few punches of fruit. This causes the
fruit to be larger and to mature bet
ter, and in the end about as much in
weight will be produced as would be
if the vine were allowed to run wild.
Tomatoes stand any amount of fertil-
izing and need great deal of water
if the weather is dry, they will survive
the severest drought. We cover the
surface around the plants with scrap
ings from the barnyard and gradual
iy work this fertilizer into the soil in
she course of cultivation. When we
have occasion TO water the plants we
put not less than two gallons to each
plant, and the next morning cultivate
the ground thoroughly. This liberal
watering will do for three or four
days, as the cultivation makes a mulch
of fine soil on the surface and prevents
rapid evaporation. Tomatoes respond
readily to good care, and it pays to
give it to them.

better), as follows: To a AKA timber.
4 feet long, are attached two circular
platforms feet in diameter; these
platforms are % inches apart. On the
lower one the cans containing milk
and cream are placed. on the upper
one crooks of butter or other articles
that one desires to keep cool.
The cans are made of heav-
lest tin 81 inches in diameter
and 20 in height. To them are secured
handles inches from the top; on these
handles set the can covers, which are
9 inches in diameter at the closed end,
1aring to 10 inches at the other end.
These covers are inches deep, ard
when in proper place on the cans there
is considerable air space over and
around the top of the cans, allowing
the gas and odors to escape, but pre-
venting the water from entering when
all are submerged in the well. Milk
is set for "a hours. Each morning and
evening the cage is raised, new milk is
put on, and that which has been on for
"a hours is skinned. This SKINNED
milk is always sweet. To the han dies
of the cans are hooked small wooden
tags marked respectively NJ, E, c,
standing for morning, evening, cream,
which enables one at glance to deter
mine the contents of a can and age of
milk The can is weighted with brick
attached to the bottom SO as. to give the
necessary weight to sink cans and con-
tents as deeply as desired, and assist
in maintaining their upright position.
This apparatus was used all through
the hot summer months of last year
and continued last winter, with the
result of always obtaining firm, sweet
and high colored butter.-J. 5. Fowler,

COURT ETIQUETTE.
That 1t Calls for Some Queer Proceedings
Is Here Shown.

That 1t Calls for Some Queer Proceeding
Is Here shown
In the Austrian court it is contrary
to custom for perishable articles to APP
pear twice on the imperial table The
result is large perquisites for the at
tendants. To one man fall all the un-
corked bottles. to another the joints,
to another still the game or the
sweets. Every morning a sort OF
market is held in the basement of the
palace. where the Viennese come read
lily to purchase the remains. And there
is no other means of procuring I'M
perial Tokay than this.
Long ago in England even the great
est men in the land were pleased to re-
ceive such perquisites. In the reign OF
Henry H., for instance, the lord chan
cellor was entitled to the candle ends
of one great and forty small candles
per day. And the aquarius, who must
be baron in rank. received one penny
for drying towels on every ordinary
occasion of the kings bathing. The
ceremonial that the revolution swept
away the first Emperor Napoleon was
careful to revive in a less extreme
form, and it is characteristic of the
man that he made special study of it,
and went SO far as to prescribe the
special forms to be observed on great
occasions.
Before his coronation, NJ. Isabey, the
miniature painter, gave seven rehearS-
ais with wooden dolls. appropriately
dressed, of the seven ceremonials that
We're to be enacted. And one cere-
mony being especially intricate, the
functionaries rehearsed it in person in
the gallery of Diana at the Tuileries, a
plan having been carefully traced with
chalk on the floor. This was the sort
of thing in which Napoleon especially
rejoiced, and he himself arranged be-
forehand all the details of the entry of
Maria Louisa into France, and of his
subsequent marriage with her. Among
other particulars, on reaching what
was then French territory the arch
duchess was conducted into the east
ward room of a three-roomed house
near Braunau; the French commits
sioner entered westward: while the
third room in the middle was occupied
by the rest of the party. And NJ. de
Bausset, who gives an account of the
proceedings, having bored holes with
gimlet in the door of the middle
room, had a splendid view of the I'M
conscious princess. But, he quantity
adds, it was the ladies who took adj
vantage of his forethought.
The ceremonial of the Chinese court
is somewhat eXacting. 1t used to in
clude, if it does not now, complete
prostration before the throne. Last
century Persian envoy refused to go
through the degrading ordeal. Di-
rections were given to the officials to
compel him by stratagem to do so. On
arriving one day at the entrance to
the hall of audience, the envoy found
no means of going in except by q
wicket, which would compel him to
stoop very low. With great presence
of mind and considerab BILE audacity,
the ambassador turned around and
entered backward, thus saving the
honor of his countrY.-N. Y. Post.

commons; a student of occult philos-
ophy and comparative theology, and 3
confirmed bachelor. Americans who
nave met him praise his gentlemanly
demeanor, under which. however, he
hides an unlimited amount of class
prejudice and traditional pride. He Is
nephew Of Lord Salisbury who, some
English writer's assert, would like to
see him his successor as head OF the
conservative party.
Balfour and Joseph Cham berlain-
the latter secretary of state for the col
onies-on accepting Office reproached
the Rosebery government for not dis
solving parliament instead of resigning.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in his address, added:
''The unionist leaders have absolutely
agreed that the wild projects for con-
stitutional change and destructive leg
islation which formed the staple pro-
posals of the last two administrations
shall be laid aside. The unionists will
devote their principal attention to q
policy of constructive social reform,
and at the sanc time will maintain the
full efficiency of the defensive resources
of the empire
Chamberlain is the shrewdest MEM
Der of the Salisbury ministry. He is
not quite as scholarly as Balfour, but
what he does not know about the
ways of politicians and their tricks
is not worth knowing. Not SO many
years ago he was, next to Gladstone,
the most influential man in the LIBERAL
party and looked upon as the coming
leader of the forces collected by the VEN
erablc sage of Hawarden. His radical
tendencies frightened Gladstone, how
ever, and he was re1cgated at time
when his prospects seemed brightest.
Chamberlain never forgot the affront.
and remembered it at time when
Gladstone needed him most, and united
himself with the unionists when the
liberals began to advocate homo rule
for Ireland. Since then he has become
a devoted tory, and it is possible that
he will combat with Balfour for the
honor of becoming leader of the house
in case of conservative success at the
election. Mr.. Chamberlain has visited
the United States several times, his
wife being the dau9hter of one of the
oldest New England families.
The new president of the council, the
duke of Devonshire, is better known to
Americans as the marquis of Hunting
ton. Like Chamberlain he is distin-
guished ex-ibera1. In 1875, when Mr..
Gladstone announced his intention of
giving up the party leadership, he was
chosen leader in the house of commons

AaxisahiIitx OF Dehornins.

If there is any doubt of the advisable
fly of dehorning cattle in general,
shere can be no doubt of the advisa-
oility of dehorning the bad-tempered
Animal that is prone to drive his fell
lows from the water or feed trough. or
from the shelter. This animal does
not profit from the hurt it does others.
The quarrelsome animal never makes
as much fat or milk from its feed as it
would were it quiet and peaceable, and
it reduces the thrift of the animals it
deprives of feed, water or shelter, if it
does not injure them. In nearly every
case such an animal will be thorough
~ reformed by dehorning; it will be
among the most peaceable among the
herd. In the few cases in which this
effect is not produced the animals ca
pacity to injure its fellows is much

THE NATIONAL ROAD.

A Historical Highway Partially Built by
the General Government.
Are you old enough to remember the
national road?
Before railroads were either plenty
or much needed, the general govern
ment undertook that historic highway
starting from Baltimore and going
through Wheeling and Cincinnati to
the Mississippi river. The work was,
in general, SO good that it took several
years of neglect on the part of the
local authorities, after the highway
was surrendered to the counties, to
make the national look like the other
roads in its vicinity. That road was
built for military purposes, and now
the people are asked to 90 work of the
same kind for their own pleasure, con-
venience and profit.
Pioneers viii tell you what an adj
vantage the national road was to them
in the early days. 1t will be found
also that the prosperous new state in
pioneer times was known by its su-
perior state roads By tradition and
almost by hereditary instinct the Amer
lean people ought to be q nation of
road builders.
The trouble is that, inathe general
rush and hurry OF Improvement IN 9TH
er directions, the steam railroad and
even the trolley lines bid fair to take
the item of road building out of the
hands of the people altogether. Sure
ly. besides these means of transit and
transportation, a neigh borly, civilized
nation like this needs good roads that
will be, so to speak, the peoples own
private thoroughfares for their use in
the friendly intercourse OF life.
The shiftless road maker has long
been a subject OF ridicule; but the
good-roads movement finds him pui-
sance and an obstruction His methods
must be summarily swept aside--Once

In the spring, before the canes start,

Hf water. Later, spray the new cane
with Bordeaux mixture, proba bly,

Two weeks, commencing as soon as the
new canes are one foot high. Care
should be taken not to get the Bor-
