To make tho tomato crop a paying
one earliness, size and quality are more
Important than bulk; hence market gar
deners start thoir seed early in hotbeds
As soon as the ground is warm enough
the Seeding should be transplanted to
the garden or field. Four feet either
way in the rows is good distance for
the plants to be set apart, and this gives
one plenty of space to work with the
hoe and later for the vines to spread. If
the top soil is kept loose and we'll pull
verified, it is an easy work to go over the
whole field once week and stir the
earth around the hills until the plants
begin to spread After that they need
hoeing only after rains when the ground
is apt to get hard, A little nitrate of
soda and wood ashes scattered in each
hill at the time the plants begin to VIM
will greatly help them in their growth,
and the result will be shown in earlier
and better tomatoes, according TO the tie
timony of a correspondent of American
Cultivator, who also makes suggestions
about stalking the plants He says;
The easiest way to stake tomatoes is
to drive a stake five feet long in each
hill and then attach the vines to it with
wool Irvine, adding more string as
new shoots grow and the vines begin to
droop in different places. The cost
this is very little-half a cent hill
and it will save enough tomatoes from
rotting and increase the rapid growth Of
all sufficiently to pay in the end. On tho
other hand, too expensive supports fail
to make proper returns. The outlay is
never really paid back.

Sounds at Night.

Sir David Brewster has given an
excellent account Of a mysterious
night sound which would have fright
ened most persons, but which proved
innocentand harmless when tested
by a steady observer. A gentleman
heard a strange sound every night
soon after getting into bed. His
wife. who retired earlier than he, al
so heard the weird sound, but not
until the husband had got into he'd.
For long time no possible cause
could be assigned. and the effect up
on the Imagination became rather
unpleasant. The husband discover
ed, some time afterward, that the
noise came from the door OF "a ward
robe which stood near the head Of
the bed 1t was his custom to open
and close this wardrobe when un-
dressing, but, as the door was lit
tie tight, he could not quite shut it.
The door probably affected by chan
ges in the temperature, forced itself
open with dnll sound which was
over in an instant
And SO many a good ghost story
could be solved BY little attention
to the sounds resulting from the ex
pansion and contraction of wood
work, such as doors, panels, window
frames, wainseoting, and furniture.
Heard at night when all is still. the
sudden creaking of furniture in a
room is often quite startling. until
one comes to know that it is due to
the weather. WI ". Clemens. in

Hay Fever, Catarrh aud Deafness.

Hay Fever has not the same cause
in all cases. 1t is positively certain,
that in many cases it is from over
sensitive branches of nerve in the
nose. Or. Sadler, S04 Penn Avenue.
Pittsburg, has found some eases where
touch on a certain portion of the in
side of the nose caused a cough in
simultaneously, with watery discharge
from the nose and eyes. Last season
several cases suffering from severe hay
fever were relieved Immediately, and
remained free from all the symptoms
upon application of electricity to the
sensitive parts. Catarrh of the nose
and throat predisposes to an attack,
and Deafness is caused in three out of
four cases by Catarrhal Inflammation
of the nose and throat. 1t is very
rarely necessary to remove the bones
from the nose, as being practieed by a
few specialists Of the radical class.
Distinctions Of the nose and mouth
breathing is most frequently caused
by thickening Of the soft tissues and
not deformity of the bones. Consult
Dr. Sadler before submitting to such
unnecessarily severe and expensive
operations. DIR. Sadler is conserva-
tive and thorough in his work, and
his 20 years experience make his
methods reliable and safe.

Pleasure in California.

During the winter months the resi-
dents Of the Eastern States make the
best Of forbidding conditions and
amuse themselves in various ways by
large expenditure Of energy. They
work hard, but they have sport They
must be careful to avoid the numer-
Gus dangers with which very cold
weather surrounds them. All Of their
efforts at amusement are a struggle
against a forbidding and uncOngenial
aspect of nature. They simply create
all the pleasure they get; nature, in
stead Of helping them, presents a
constant protest against their pleas
ure During these same months the
visitor in California simply has to sit
down and enjoy more pleasure than
his most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; and if he
wants to double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do so
with the least possible eXertion. At
all times he has abundant sunshine in
California, for the rainy days are few
and short, and there is neither snow
nor ice to make him prisoner. Flow
ers bloom increasingly in the garden,
and fresh fruits are always at hand.
Watermelons and strawberries grace
his Christmas dinner.
All along the coast of California the
summers are cold enough to make
wooden clothing comfortable. In the
Eastern States the wretched inhabi-
tant wears the thinnest of clothing
and then suffers from the heat The
Californian goes camping or strolling
through the woods with no fear Of a
drenching, for the California summers
are rainless. The mountain scenery
is Of infinite variety and unapproach-
able majesty and beauty. Large and
elegant hotels abound at all the sea
side resorts. Splendid vineyards and
orchards exist everywhere, and the
most gorgeous wild flowers abound.
All the most beautiful resorts and

A Word About Pastures.

Remember that close grazing is ruin
Gus to any pasture. There is no economy
in it, for what the close grazing does
not destroy the hot sun will finish.
Don It destroy these valuable portions Of
your farm by being penny wise and
pound foolish. If you haven't sufficient
pasture for all your stock, sell some OF
the stock or feed grain. 1t has been dem
onstrated at the experiment stations that
by feeding grain to COWS while they are
being pastured we not only save the
pasture land, but in the end save money.
A little grain fed to the dairy COWS
every day during pasturing makes the
cream richer and the butter much supe-
rior than If given nothing but grass.
But before the grass is destroyed and
close cropping begins the grain feeding
should begin. Feed little grain morn
ing and night and restrict the animals
in their grazing, SO that no one part of the
field can be cropped too close.

CULTURAL NOTES ON CELERY.
Several Points on which Eastern Grower
Agree-Concerning Fertilizers.


Several Points on which Eastern Growers
Agree-Coneerning Fertilizers.
That you cannot make celery pay
without plenty Of manure and an abund-
ance Of moisture are points generally ac-
cepted at the east Growers, too, as a
rule, give preference to fsrmyard ma
nure for this crop. AT least they do not
rely alone on commercial fertilizers,
though many advocate an application Of
nitrate of soda in midsummer at time
Of rain or of artificial watering
Following are some timely hints from
American Gardening:
Sow seed on a south border in the
middle Of April in drills six inches
apart. When large enough to handle,
transplant in feet beds, setting the
plants two or three inches apart. Celery
transplanted in this way never gets a
setback when put in the trenches. Grow
Henderson S White Plume for early, Hon
derson's Half Dwarf and Golden Dwarf
for late.
In regard to manure, farmyard ma
nure is better for celery than fertilizer
that from the COW stable, if possible.
Should it be laid up a time so much the
better.
If you intend planting large guam
tity Of celery, it is a good plan to run
off the rows with pillow, say, five feet
apart. Split open the rows with a pillow.
That will make a nice trench for your
manure. 1t is much the best way, fer
large quantities worked with spade IS
slow work After the manure is in th-
trenches and the soil worked into it it
is then ready for planting. The plants
should be at least two or three inches
below the level That gives a nice
chance to give plenty of water. With
out moisture it is impossible to grow
good celery.
Then, again, there is another cousid-
GRAFTON when winter comes on. After
growing it all summer there is a large
quantity of celery destroyed every year
through not being properly protected. A
very good plan in the falls to put three
rows together, ard then cover with
leaves or salt hay, but the best plan Of
all is for any one that has room to store
it away in frames OF course the frame
must be banked up to keep frost out
and ON all favorable occasions give air,
but the celery must DO put in the frame
before it gets cut by frost

The keystone Of the Arch

In the ediflee of health is vigor,
which means not merely muscular en-
ergy, but an active discharge Of the
various functions of the body, such as
digestion, secretion of the bile, the
action of the bowels, the circulation
of the blood. Nothing more actively
and thoroughly contributes to the
united performance of these functions
than the renowned tonic and regula-
tor, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The
result of its use is a speedy gain in
strength, together with the agreeable
consciousness that the tenure of life
is being strengthened-that one is
laying up a store of vitality against
the unavoidable draughtS which old
age makes upon the system. The
fortifying influence Of the BitterS con-
stitute it reliable safeguard against
malaria, rheumatism and kidney
trouble. Appetite and sleep improve
by its use, and it protects the system
from the effects of cold and damp.

WHEN A COLONY swARMs.
which Orders the Proceeding, the b
Onaen or the XnrkerxS

which Orders the Proceeding, the Bee
Queen or the workers.
A subject discussed in the columns Of
The American Bee Journal, which clio
tied opinions from some of the best bee
keepers of the country, was which or
ders the swarming-the queen or the
workers. Seven out of 23 apairists af-
firmed that the worker bees controlled
the proceedings, three thought that the
queen leads, several believed that both
worked together, and two did not know.
w NJ. Bsrnum said: II don't know,
but / think there is usually an under
standing between bees and queen. Pos
sibly the BEES create the emergency. and
the queen gives the signal.
Dadout & Son said: I'VE think they
are unanimous on that point The queen
is angry because young queens are
reared, and the bees are uncomfortable
for want of room F"
Mrs. ]. n. Heater expressed the opin-
ion that, with normal first swarm, the
queen is among the last to leave the
hive, while with after swarms with vir-
gin queens the queen is about the first
one to leave the hive.
E. T. Abbott remarked: Neither of
them. The economy of beehive is not
managed on the Debs plan, Each one
has mind TO work the best she knows
how, and when the time comes for doing
q thing they all do it without any or
dering. The workers generally go out
first, however. "
G.. W. Demaree said: THE worker
bees control the whole proceeding. Last
season l was watching for the qusen at
the entrance of hive where the bees
were in the act of swarming, and ii }
queen did not make her appearance I'M
til three-quarters of the swarm was in
the air, and when she did appear she
was being hustled out by force Of arms,

ment, and saw the queen make repeat.

the guards stood firmly and even used

that the queen leads out the swarm
looks romantic and all that, but it is
not according to solid facts.

The Duck and the Hen.

The question is repeatedly asked,
Which is the more profitable, the due /,
or the hen? In order to decide this mat
ter an enterprising poultryman, P. H.
Jacobs, Hammonton, N. J., made test.
The result is reported as follows;
AT week old the duckling weighed
4 ounces, while the chick emily reached
ounces. AT 2 weeks old the duokling
reached ounces, and the chick got II
to ounces. AT weeks, duckliHg
pound; chick, ca ounces All /
weeks, duokling l pound 0 ounce;
chick, 10 ounces. AT 8 weeks, duel,
ling 2 pounds 2 ounces; chicks II
ounces. At 6 weeks old, duekling 3
pounds II ounces; chick, pound ~
ounces AT weeks old. duekling 3
pounds ounces; chick, pound z =
ounces. At s weeks old, duckling 4
pounds; chick, pound 1 ? ounces. At
8 weeks old, duekling a pounds
ounces; chick, 2 pounds.
So it can be seen that in che same
time the weight of the chick was
doubled by that of the duck The prices
for dressed caroasses run very close to
each other, SO that the increased price
per pound makes the profits on the duck
greater, although it takes about twice
the amount of food to grow them.
