Trel1ising Tomatoes.

When we grow tomatoes for marke,
at ordinary prices we must economic
in cost of production in every way
possible, and trellising the plants
would be out Of the question, but when
it comes to the home garden I regu-
larly every season trellis at least a few
plants, as they can be made a great
ornamental feature Of the grounds,
writes T. Grenier in exchange. A to-
mato plant ladened with it's glossy
high-colored fruit is pretty object
anyway, and a row of them, we'll held
up, trimmed and tied. is really j" a
sight, One of the easiest ways OF
supporting tomato plant for such ef-
feet (and this is my favorite way) is to
simply stake it, and keep it trimmed to
"a single stalk. The stake may consist
of plain bean-pole, seven or eight
feet high, or of sawed stick, say two
inches square and eight feet long. Be
sure to set these stakes in straight
line, and all uniformly perpendicular,
or, perhaps, slightly leaning. Then
trim the plants to one or two stalks.
uniformly. Keep all branches nipped
off. Tie the stalks and especially the
fruit clusters. with soft string, as for
instance, strips of muslin, calico, or the
like, and see what an ornament this
tomato patch" will be to your gar
den.

the stack or the shock? There is
! good deal to be said on both sides,
and, after all, the question is one that
must be determined by circumstances
= the grain can be cut in good time,
we'll shocked, the weather settled, and
the machine and help available when
wanted, we believe it is best to thrash
direct from the shock. This, however,
occurs only once in a while. The
weather east of the Missouri cannot be
depended upon, neither can thrashing
machines nor help at this season of the
year Even when help can be obtained
it us higher priced than later. The
farmers by stacking their grain and
letting it go through the sweat can
change work and get through with very
little outside labor. The probability is
that the wheat will be put in the mar
ket in better condition and bring as
good or better price. Forty years ago
the man who was near the mill had
an early variety of grain, and thrashed
from the shock in nine cases out of
ten got better market than if he
stacked and thrashed later. The price
ofzwheat now is not determined by the
local mill. but by the general market,
and this again is determined not by the
supply in the county or state, or even
the United States, but by the markets
of the world. Before any Iowa farmer
can thrash his grain now, grain will
be pouring in from Texas, Kentucky,
Kansas and Missouri: in fact it is be-
ginning to come into market already.
Our conclusion, therefore, is that ex-
cept in exceptional circumstances it is
besstss to stack and begin thrashing as
soon as the grain is in the right con-
dition.

Friend Shepherd looks just as neat and
smooth as the Mr.. Harrison whom we
knew as president. He always orders a
whole section in the sleeping car long
beforehand when he rs going to or
from the Adirondacks, so as to have
the use of the upper berth in order to
keep the creases in his trousers in
state of rigid preservation. He is quiet,
thoughtful and correct. Like the ex-
president, he is celebrated for general
5tacitnrnity and for particular Verbosi-
ty in asking multitude of questions
about when the train or boat goes
while waiting for it.
AS either is opposed to taking the
Initiative in "a conversation himself,
the natives wonder how they can ever
talk together; but this popularity may
explain how they get on so we'll, like
the two old army officers who, on be-
ing introduced after spending the after
noon together, became the fastest of
friends. One had said: "The service
is going to the dewil''; the other re-
piled, Eyes, d it, it is;" and that
was the extent Of their conversation.
''Son Russ" who WAS so festive in
the earlier part of his fathers admin
istration, has been almost forgotten by
the public and is growing more sedate,
and some say more wise. The ex-
president is, if anything, more portly
than ever. I'm his shirt sleeves, with
out the gracious folds of a f1;ock coat.

1e appears as round as a ball He

he appears as round as a ball. He
takes no exercise, except pushing the
baby carriage and clearing away UNDER
brush. Unlike Mr.. Cleveland, he has
no naphtha launch When he travels
on the lake it is in a rowboat, his guide
and man of-all-work being at the oars.
The new law which prevents the
~hounding'' of deer, the Turing of them
to certain spot with salt or attract
ing them with lack light is a dis
appointment to Mr.. Harrison, who will
now have to hunt the deer, instead of
having the deer brought to him. Form
erly his guides and their dogs bounded
the deer into the water, where they
were kept swimming until the ex-presi-
dent from the bow Of his boat dis
patched them. Or else at night he was
rowed along the shores with light in
the bow of the boat. Often in this way
the prey is brought within two or three
yards of the muzzle of the rifle. AS
the guides say, *You can almost reach
| out and touch them" Both hound
ing" and "jacklighting' are scarcely
considered legitimate sport by Ameri-
| can sportsmen. What Mr.. Harrison de-
sires more than anything else is the
venison for his table, it is said, and he
sees no more cruelty in getting it in
one way than in another.

Bulletin 10, Idaho Experiment Sta
ton:
Descriptive-This popular and valu-
able vegetable needs but very little de-
scription. 1t is a native of Europe,
where it may be found growing wild
along the borders of sea marshes. Ger
tain species are grown as ornamental
plants. The undeveloped stem is the
part used as food.
Culture. by means of
seed. The seed may be bought of seed
dealers or taken from the small red
berries found in autumn upon the
mature stems of old plants. If the
latter method is adopted proceed in the
following manner: Select the largest
and incest branches; pick off the ber-
rles7 and gently mash; wash out the
pulp with water and dry the seed.
Sow the seed in early spring in rows
vide enough to permit cultivation.
Plants should stand about 3 to inches
apart. Select a rather rich soil for the
seed bed. The young plants may be
transplanted In the permanent bed the
following spring, or the transplanting
may be deferred until the second
spring. Too much care can not be
given to the preparation of the per-
manent bed. Select an open situation
where plenty of sunshine falls. Natur-
ally, the plant prefers a damp situa-
ton, but can be made to thrive very
well on dry soil, if proper cultivation
is given. The soil should be rich. Sub
soil or trench the bed, adding large
quantities of manure (well rotted cow
dung is preferred. If the plantation
is large the rows should be at least 2
feet. apart. Put the plants IL inches
apart. The roots OF the plant must be
spread out equally in all directions.
This is best attained by constructing
small mound of earth in the center
.of the. hole. place the plant upon the
top OF the mound and let the roots
extend down the sides. Cover with
earth and firm with the foot. The
crown Of the plant should be two
inches under ground. During the grow
ing season cultivate and keep down.
all weeds. At end Of season cut off
Ihe tops and cover the bed with coarse
manure. Remove the litter in early
spring. Cut the young shoots at the.
surface of the ground using a strong
bladed knife. 8.s..

AS TOLD BY HORAT1O SEYMOUR
FREDERICK PALMER.

The Thanksgiving Proclamation That
the Caergymen Condemned.
Speaking of Horatio Seymour, an old
New York politician recalls the follow
ing anecdote, which, he asserts, the
Governor used to tell on himself:
II had just taken my seat in the rail-
way carriage when I noticed two minis
terial looking men in front of me-"
said the Governor. ~ADo you know
this Horatio SEYMOUR asked one
Nc came the answer, although I have
seen him. Have you? Then I pray
you to tell me how he looks We'll,
he looks what he is-a great drunkard,
answered the one who had seen the
Governor. <Um,' said the questioner,
sadly, it's great pity that he should
be Governor. understand that he
owns an interest in more than half the
rum shops in Utica Yes was the re-
sponse, and he has to look out for
them in the morning, as he is always
too drunk in the afternoon to attend
to that or any other business I
pricked up my ears" concluded the
Governor, "for. | was curious to know
what had caused these two to go for
me SO severely. Presently I discovered.
Have you seen his Thanksgiving proc
lamation?' asked one. Yes, and
think it scandalously infdel.' so do
L. And yet that proclamation was
written by the rector of the leading
Episcopal church in Albany"
