Flowers to Bloom at Christmas.

Bulbs, to be brought into bloom
by Christmas, should be ported in
October, and as early in the month
as possible" says Eben E. Rexford
in the September Ladies Home
Journal. "Give them q compost of
equal parts of loan and old, we'll
rotted manure, mix thoroughly.
Narcissus, Eyacinths and tulips re-
quire the same soil and the same
treatment. These are the only
bulbs would advise the amateur
to attempt to grow for Christmas
use.
eff you plant your bulbs singly,
four-inch pots will be large enough
for them. In six-inch pot you can
put two bulbs, and in inch
ones four may easily be accom-
madated. Tulips and narcissus
should be just covered with earth.
The hyacinth should be about half
its depth in soil. Water we'll at
the time of poting and then put
the pots away in place that is
dark and cool, and leave them there
until they form roots. This part
of the treatment is very important,
and those who ignore it will be
pretty sure to make a failure of
bulb growing 80 far as flowers are
concerned.

The Tomato Crop.

The farmers of Green, Letterken-
ny, Guilford and other townships
who contracted with John Lovett
of the Martinsburg Canning Com
pany to grow tomatoes this year
are now hauling tomatoes to town
and shipping them to Martinsburg.
The crop promises to be very
large and the venture, at this time,
looks like paying one. The late
heavy rains brought the vines on
rapidly and the tomatoes now CON-
ing in are very fine. They will con-
tinue shipping until frost comes.
The large acreage planted herea-
bouts will likely make tomatoes
very cheap in Chambersburg this
year, especially those so ripe as not
to stand shipping to Martinsburg.
Baskets holding nearly a half bush
ell we're offered about the streets at
twenty five cents.-Daily Spirit.

The Heaviest Railroad Train.

Persons who take an interest in
the growth of locomotives and the
length of the trains they pull will be
interested in the statement of the
Railroad Gazette that q locomotive
of the Pennsylvania Railroad re-
Gently drew a train about three.quar.
tiers of a mile long, made up of 1870
loaded coal cars, from Altoona to
Harrisburg, 1872 miles, In 10 hours.
The weight Of the train behind the
tender was 5,2l2 tons, the locomo-
tive weighing 104 tons. This is said
to have been the heaviest train ever
moved long distance by single
locomotive. Two crews were re-
quired TO handle it. A train of so
cars is commonly called long one,
but ideas on this subject will have to
be revised, as improved grades, inn
proved roadbeds make, more eco
nomical railroading possible.
