even an aspiring tomato would reach
that height, but if trained to it they
will do so, and the so-called climbing
tomatoes are likely not different from
the ordinary ones, only from the fact
of their training. Having set the
poles, the plants should be put at the
base of them. Now, given a stocky
plant at the outset, there will be
branches enough upon it, so that il
will need pruning once week any.
way, to keep it in climbing order.
When plant is we'll started in its
new location it will send ont new
shoots above each leaf, aud these new
shoots must all be kept pinched out
If these are left they will grow to be
as large as the main stalk, and will
take great deal of strength away
from it. Keep the main stalks tied to
the stake or pole with strips of soft
muslin or something of the sort-a
string is liable to cut them. Keep
the laterals pinched of, and you will
find your tomato plants bearing in
good season, and fruit far superior to
that which would be borne if the
plants were left to themselves practi,
cally, or allowed to grow in the usual
bush form. New York Tribune.

Best Time to Cut Clover.

We always like to have the clover
cut as soon at least as most of the heads
are in blossom, without waiting to
have some begin to brown. The hay
will dry away more if cut as early as
this, but the second crop comes for
ward so rapidly that its value more
than makes up what was lost in the
first crop, We believe this rapid
second growth is in part due to the
manuring which every clover field gets
after its crop is cut from the wasted
clover leaves which are broken off in
curing and fall to the ground. These
clover leaves are very rich, and as
they dry their fertilizing value is
washed out of them by the first rains.
Who ever secured clover crop with
out getting it more or less wet? Some
times after a heavy rain the heaps OF
clover hay will be completely wet
through, saturating the soil beneath,
and especially on the edges of the
heaps, where most of the rain had run
off. Often, while the clover will be
smothered where these heaps stood on
all the border round, there will be a
growth of Glove so green and vigorous
that it shows as plainly as would a
heap of the best stable manure exposed
to like conditions.

THEY WANT TO TELL

Women who have suffered severely

furious to poultry; and if they,
through neglect, become lousy, the
cattle and horses will be almost sure
to be affected.
As poultry can be kept more cheaply
when running at large than when con-
fined, it would be better to put the
chicken house at some distance from
your own dwelling, so that they will
not litter up the stoop or doorstep.
If they have good quarters they will
not be likely to bother much if table
scraps and food are not thrown out Of
the back door to attract them. To
save all risk light fence of lath or
wire netting may be built about the

tain arrangements for separating the
sitting hens from the others, take
pains when hen is set to fasten her

disturb her, and when you let the sit

others are shut out of the house or
some may enter the nest to lay, and
the "sitter" on returning make such

painting them different colors to as
sist the hens in finding their own
nests and they assure us they have
much less trouble with hens getting
on their neighbors' nests than when
there is nothing to tell the nests
apart.
Sitting hens should be allowed to
come off every day, but do not disturb
them if they do not seem inclined to
leave their nests. Some hens will
not feed oftener than once in three
days. Have plenty of grain and fresh
water at hand.

A Home-Made wheat Fertilizer.

This is made in the poultry-house,
but by many is allowed TO collect un-

muck to collect the ammonia, at time

spreading the pen manure from a
wagon on the wheat ground, covering
but limited area. This gives the
wheat an uneven appearance, and is
about as sensible as an uneven spread

Tn. India Postal serrice.

The postal service IN India c-tends
as far north as Kolghur, village of
the Himalayas. Beyond this point a
letter is sent by a native runner, who
carries the missive for days in the
split end of stick, and delivers it at
the end of his journey as clean as
when he received it. These runners
are so honest that money is intrusted
to them, which they will carry for
days, along wild mountain tracks,
where they could never be traced,
and then deliver it into the right
hands.

Caring For Tomato Plants,

The method of tying tomato plants
to poles is not wholly new one, but
it is valuable one. The plants being
stocky to start with, mcst excellent
results will accrue. In the first place,
it is good plan to set in one long row
If only few are to be grown; but if q
great many they should be set about
two feet apart in the rows, and the
rows made three feet apart. This
gives the plants room to grow, and
also gives room for sunlight and air to
reach to the inner rows. Before the
plants are set poles should be set very
firmly III the ground. These should
be some eight or nine feet above the
ground. 1t does not seem as though

The Cost of One Drink.

Some men are so made that the mere
taste OF liquor will kindle In them a raging
thirst for more.
A doctor and his friend we're once talk
ing together in front OF a saloon when a
master mechanic, a man OF amiable and ex-
,ellent character, nrst-class workman,
lull OF business, with an interesting family,
respected by everybody, and bidding fair
to be one of the leading men OF the city
came up to them and laughingly said:
well, have just done what never did
Sefore in my llfe."
"Ah, what was that2"
"Why, Mr.. - has owned me n bill for
work for long time aud duuned him for
the money till l was tired, but minute
lgo caught him out here, and asked him
or the money. Well, he said, T'll pay

However, finding he would not pay the
bill, rather than lose the money, Just
vent in and got the drink" Aud he
aughed at the strange occurrence as he
concluded.
