Progress in agriculture and the care
and fostering of states has put this in
formation, to great extent, in the
reach of all, and daily more practical
information is being collected and dis
seminated by the bulletins of depart
ments, the agricultural and even the
political press. The farmer neglects
or refuses to inform himself, and
blames the government for his want
of wealth. When prices are low in
the public markets wise men in agri-
culture and manufacturing examine
and see if the cost of production can
not be reduced, or whether one line
should not be abandoned and a new
one substituted, or an enlarged diver
sifcation, curtailing all along the line.
Making cotton and buying corn, maxi
ing tobacco and buying meat, was
considered bad policy in the good old
days befo' de war" The agriculture
lists must look after their own calling
and it's interests, through every ave-
nue. accessible in the fields, in the
markets, in the public assemblies, in
the courts, in the legislatures, the
schools and colleges. When this great
body moves earnestly, intelligently
and tremendously on these lines there
will be agricultural success.-Thomas
Whitehead, commissioner of agricul-
ture, Virginia.

Pruned Tomatoes.

An experienced Georgia trucker
writes as follows in Home and Farm:
Most of the tomato raisers, who
plant with a view to marketing, advO-
cate the pruning of tomatoes. This
pruning requires prompt attention, or
else there is danger Of doing more
harm than good. Pruning should be
commenced when the plants are
about one foot high. 1t is generally
best to reduce them to one stem or
stalk
At every leaf there are two buds;
one is a bud for branch of the vine
and the other is fruit bud. By re-
moving the branch bud we readily see
that most of the growth it would
have taken will go into the fruit bud
and make the fruit on it grow rapid
ly, much larger, and ripen earlier.
Some men will tell you that by
pruning the vines they will die early
in the summer and bear no fruit, and
by not pruning the vines will bear
plenty of fruit till frost. All this is
true but one must remember [ am
discussing the raising of tomatoes
for market when [ speak of the prun-
ing process. When pruned the vines
will die about the first or middle of
July, but the profit of shipping has
about died out. The early tomato is
what the gardener makes the largest
profit on, and his profits generally
grow smaller as the season passes by.
BY pruning the tomato vines they
will bear earlier and larger tomatoes,
and that is what is wanted for mar
l1eting.
1t is not advisable to prune tOma-
toes for family use, as it is better to
have the vines bear till frost; early
large fruit is not in such demand for
home consumption. To keep an acre
properly pruned requires an outlay of
about SIS.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work.

hay, straw, grain and vegetables, by

crushed, and receiving the action OF
the acids of the animals stomach, and
farther decay in the manure heap.
Muck is likewise decayed vegetable
matter, not having served the pur-
pose of. nutrition, washed down by
rains into bayheads, swamps, or
ponds, accompanied by soil on it's
passage and where it has lain for
years, perhaps many centuries, with
it's plant food safely stored until
drainage shall have made it into tila-
BILE land or it shall have been carted
out to receive stable droppings or ap-
piled to lands needing hu1nus
The value of the muck is chiefly in
it's nitrogen, which is not avai,ab in
it's raw or sour state. To make muck
as available for plant food as stable
manure the muck should be compost.
ed with quick lime, say an inch Of
lime to every foot of muck, OF what
is better, good hard wood ashes, in
place of lime. With alternate muck
and ashes, make the pile as high as
you may find it convenient. During
the winter the pile should be forked
over. A small sprinkling of land
plaster over the top will prevent the
escape of the ammonia.
But as the Rural New Yorker sug-
gests, why not make the muck bet
ter than the manure while you are
about it? Your manure would be
much better if you could mix 100
pounds of bone and thirty pounds of
muriate of potash with every ton, be-
cause you would have more potash
and phosphoric acid. The muck needs
these substances more than the ma
nure does. If wood ashes are to be
obtained, use all you can afford-you
can't use too much-and mix them
thoroughly with the muck. The lime
in the ashes will answer for ''sWeet-
ening" the muck. If you cannot OBJ
tain ashes, use the lime alone, and as
the pile is made up, use two parts Of
fine ground bone and one part muri-
ate of potash, so that about forty
pounds of the mixture will be added
to each ton of muck. If this be we'll
mixed and worked over, you will GER
tainly have a pile of compost of bet
ter quality, ton for ton, than good
stable manure.

The points of resemblance and diff

Both are derived from decayed veg

nutrition than the original materials
from which they were derived. Sta

eral elements necessary to the produc-
ton of the different plants and the ac-
curacy of their combination.
The Weather Service, in it's record
backward for many years, gives re
liable average, and it's forecasts are
reasonable probabilities of what will
come. The speed of winds, storms
and rains, based on years of expert
ence, with notification from distant
points, give reasonable probability
that they will reach certain points in
their direction by certain hour. The
speed of the wind can be accurately
ascertained The distance is certain.
Past calculations in years of expert
ence render the forecast Of a cold
wave, frost or storm fully as reliable
as the average duration of life or the
number of conflagrations and ship
wrecks. Now most governments are
endeavoring to give to their agricul-
turists all the information possible
applicable to the production of crops.
This is wise, because the cultivation
of the soil is necessary to the exist
ence of governments. Gree cities" as
nations are thing of the past. Cities
are based on the country. Commerce
and manufacturers are results of and
adiuncts to agriculture. OverprOduc-
ton of the world is a humbug. Trans
portation by water and land with
steam prevents just such farming as
that cannot produce abundance of
bread and meat is poorly prepared for
war. Every wise nation secures a
basis of supplies, and the greater the
production in the heart of the country
the greater it's strength. Frederick
the Great fixed the limit of his resist
ance to his enemies on the duration
''of rye bread and gunpowder."
The better informed and more intel
ligent the agricultural population the
greater the product of crops both per
acre and per inhabitant. There is
good money in the work and Stats
tics, the publications of the expert
ment stations, the farmers Institutes,
the fertilizer analyses, the Weather
Bureau and the soil analyses for the
intelligent, practical farmer if he will
ONLY spend some little time in their
investigation and study. A full lInowl-
edge of the production Of crops in
Virginia for the last 100 years, and of
the prices at which they sold, and the
cost per acre and per hand, if accom-
panied with the cost of the articles
necessary to the farmer and which he
was compelled to purchase, showing
the average of the whole on each side
and the monthly averages in the
wears, would allay much of the agr1-
cultural discomfort in the state. In
fact, a table applicable to the last
thirty years under the changed con-
ditions of labor and loss by war
would. when examined under the APP
plication of averages, dissipate many
of the clouds that lower over the ag-
ricultural sky. Information and
knowledge, dealing with facts, rely
ing on experience and trusting in
Providence, are absolutely essential to
