Trellis for Tomatoes,

While the tomato can be and often
is grown with its vines on the ground,
the fruit ripens more evenly and per-
fectly, besides producing a larger
crop, if the vines are supported by a
trellis of some kind. It may be Moth
ing more than a stick forked like a
''y," and with long enough stem to set
firmly in the ground. But if the soil
is rich and the toma to vines are heavy,
a row Of strong stakes with a wire
wound around each at the height Of
is. inches will give better satisfaction.
When the vines turn to grow down
wards the part below will blossom and
fruit more abundantly than before. #

CLEANING WET SEEDS.
After Being Thoroughly Dried They
Should BE Kept In a Moderately
Warm. Dry Place.

For preserving seeds in feshy fruits
they should be mashed and placed in
barrels to sour. In fireplace Of cucum-
bers, melons, ETC., the interiors only
are scraped out. In from 80 to 100
hours, fermentation will have adj
vanced sufficiently to admit Of the
ready separation of pulp from seeds.
The mashed fruit is placed in coarse
sleeves and suspended in tubs of wa
ter. The seeds will drop to the bottom,
while the light pulp will float and can
be thrown out; they should be then
sent through a finer sieve, and after
three or four washings can be taken
out, spread upon cloths and dried.
With many seeds it is well to wiring
them in cloths, and thus remove the
surplus water. Many persons do not
take the trouble to wash seeds, when
growing a few for home use, merely
scraping them out ~ pom piece of
cloth and drying them in their pulp.
Most vegetable seeds keep best, after
being thoroughly dried, in moderate
" warm, dry place. Paper or cloth
sacks will answer to hold them if hung
up or placed in boxes, where mice can.
not get at them. arm and Home.

A Bismarck "Reminiscences.

Prof. sEegidi, who was for many
years the chief of the press bureau, I'M
der Prince Bismarck, has just pub
'lished the following "Reminiscences Of
Prince Bismarck and the car, Alexan-
der H.: Before the outbreak of the
Franco-German war the car was with
King William at Ems. They were to-
gether one evening, and Prince Bis
marck was standing at the other end
of the room anxiously watching the
car, whose more or less friendly atti-
tude toward Prussia's policy was a
matter Of very great Importance. Sud-
denly the cars big dog which had been
lying silent under its masters chair,
rose, prowled about the room, stopped
before Prince Bismarck, looked at
him, wagged its tail affectionately,
and licked the hand he held out towaryl
it. The czar, who had attentively
watched its movements, called out to
Prince Bismarck at this moment: You
see, the dog knows his masters
friends Prince Bismarck, VINO told
Eegidig ttlh1ii this story, added: 81 felt re-
lieved. That was a historical mo-
ment Tor our policy. London Stand

many failures to get durability and
satisfaction from attempts at road
building. The Importance of drain
age is not fully appreciated in most
sections, but it is at the bottom Of
successful road construction, and
neither permanence nor economy Il is
possible if it isnot amply provided for.
q wet spot must be thoroughly
drained before road is carried over
it, or it will always be wet, at least in
the wet season, no matter what else is
done to it.. Water under a roadbedis
as fatal to the life Of the road as water
in a mans lungs is fatal to his exist
ence. %s 's--...
The not uncommon practice of al
lowing roadbed to be lower than it's
sides makes it little better than mere
drain, for water settles on the surface,
quickly softens it and prepares it to
be cut up by every passing vehicle. A
raised and crowned roadbed which,
will shed water readily is essential. A
dry base with a slightly arched cover
of stone, capable Of shedding the rain,
IS requisite for dry. permanent
structure.
The stone roadway is not only to
serve as a roof for the natural base be-,
heath, but is to take the wear of traf-
tic, and not to be covered with other
material as a protection" to it. In
places where earth is used for 'bind-
ing" purposes, and little regular at.
tention is paid to the roads and
sprinkling is not done in dry weather,
the road surface breaks up rapidly I'M
der the influence of the sun. It is.
then that it has heaped upon it, to
protect" it, quantities of fine screen
ings. or earth and stones, and some-
times even clay and sod from the gut
tiers. The. result is a poor road, for
months, unworthy of the name ina
cadam." &
q complete drainage is secured at
the outset, the road crowned and sys-
tematically cared for, with sprinkling
in dry weather, and is thoroughly
rolled as laid, without the, use of clay
to bind it, it will perform it's functions
satisfactorily and prove valuable in
vestment of lasting worth. - Good
Roads.
