TrellisinS Tomatoes.

When We grow tomatoes for market

would be out of the question, but when
it comes to the home garden I regu-

mato plant ladened with it's glossy,

up, trimmed and tied. is really

supporting a tomato plant for such eff
feet land this is my favorite way) is to
simply stake it, and keep it trimmed to
a single stalk. The stake may consist
Of a 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
of. 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

Brussels Sprouts.

A member of the cabbage tribe.
Characteristics are long central stem
surmounted by an open head of leaves,
and numerous small heads az inch, or
larger in diameter) arranged, around
the stem in the axis of tn leaves.
These small heads are termed
Sprouts" The vegetable originated
in Belgium and has been cultivated ex-
tensively around Brussels since the
thirteenth century. Requires the same
treatment as cabbage. Soil must be
rich. Requires considerable moisture.
The small sprouts must grow rapidly
or they will be tough. Sow seed in hot
bed and transplant. or scatter seed in
hills and thin. Plants must have
plenty of room. Rows should be thir-
ty inches apart and the plants not
closer than two feet. Ordinary culture
will suffice. Some authorities advise
that the sprouts should be frosted be-
fore using. Our experience is that it
causes a bitter taste. Sprouts half
inch in diameter are said to be much
more palatable than the large ones.
The top leaves are sometimes used as
green's. The aphis gives considerable
trouble. The best treatment is thor
ough washing with soap suds.

a good deal to be said on both sides,
and, after all. the question is one that
mus. be determined by circumstances.
II 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 is 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 il he
stacked and thrashed later. The price
of wheat 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
best to stack and begin thrashing as
soon as the grain is in the right con-
dition.

John Mcmillan Tells . Reporter
How He WAS Cured OF Most
Terrible Suffering.
From the Capital. St John, Kansas.
Your correspondent in an interview with
Mr. John Mcmillan, who resides at st. John,
Kansas, ELECTED the following information
concerning the wonderful curative proper
ties contained in Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. Mcmillan said:
I'm the fall of 1884, with another man,
decided upon hunting expedition into the
Indian Territory. Accordingly We started
south late in the fall. The weather was
damp and cold, and We were compelled to
sleep on the ground with nothing but tent
for protection. The exposure coupled with
the bad water, which in that country con-
tains o great quantity of alkali and gy psum,
caused me to contract bad case of kidney
trouble and rheumatism, something l had
never known before. After remaining in
the Territory for several months and con-
tinuing to grow worse, / concluded the best
thing for me to do was to come home, which
I proceeded to do. But after returning I
seemed to get no better. if anything worse.
Il tried several remedies without avail.
My nights were spent IL sleepiessneSs and
misery, and l became convinced that !
must have help immediately. Someone
told me tho benefit they had derived from
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and determined
to give them q trial, which did, and l can
truthfully assert to you that their action
was magical. From the first dose l com
menced improving and twas but q short
time until all pain had left me, and felt
entirely WELL What is more, have never
had q recurrence Of my trouble from tho
time Of my recovery until the present time.
! can certainly recommend DR.. Williams
Pink Pills as one of the best medicines en-
the market, il not the best"
In conclusion Mr.. Mcmillan asked US il
We intended making his statement public,
and upon our affirmative reply he remarked
that he was perfectly satisfied, as he had
often contemplated doing SO himself. as he
considered it duty he owed to suffering
humanity.

As yet Argentina has done but little
in the dairy line, yet the last year con-

dairy machinery makes it possible for

front in dairy production. The cows,
the grasses, the climate are there. II

acknowledgements 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 of the ber-
ries and gently mash: wash out the
pulp with water and dry the seed.
Sow the seed in early spring in rows
wide enough to permit cultivation.
Plants should stand about to 5 inches
apart. Select 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
we'll 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 a
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 on |
the 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.
