TO CAN TOMATOES.

Let them be perfectly fresh; put
scalding water over them and remove
the skins. When the cans with their
covers are in readiness upon the table,
the red sealing wax, which is gener-
ally too brittle and requires a little
lard melted with it, is in cup on the
back of the stove, the teakettle is full
of boiling water and the tomatoes are
skinned, then we are ready to do the
canning. First put three cans on the
hearth in front of the fire and fill
them with boiling water. Put enough
tomatoes in a porcelain-li lined preserv-
ing kettle to fill these cans. Add no
water to them. With a good fire, let
them come to boiling point and let
them all be well scalded through.
Then emptying the hot water from
the cans, fill them with the hot toma-
toes, wipe off the moisture from the
tops and press the covers on tightly.
While pressing each cover down close
ly with a knife. pour carefully around
it the hot sealing wax from the tin cup
SO bent at the edge that the wsx may
run out in a small stream. Hold the
knife still a moment longer that the
wax may set.

OUR FARMERS.
MANURES FOB POTATOES.

Wherever potatoes are grown arge
| ly the manure question is one of great
Importance. There is little of value
i'll the crop to feed, and if it occupies
large part of the available farm land
the homemade manure supply will not
be large enough. By growing as
many acres of corn as of potatoes
and feeding both grain and fodder to
stock the manure pile may be increas-
ed and if clover is sown every third
or fourth year and clover sod is al
ways ploughed for potatoes the po-
tatoe crop will largely exceed the
average yield. But in wet seasons
stable manure causes rot in potatoes,
and they rot also where the land has
been enriched with clover. Thus, al
though the phosphate manures used
for grain growing are not especially
indicated for potatoes, we know grow
ers who have used small amounts of
phosphate in the hill do claim that the
crop of sound potatoes is largely in
creased thereby. But care must be
taken to mix thoroughly the phos
phate with the soil before dropping
cut seed into the hill. The sulphuric
acid used to make bone soluble does
not lose all its caustic properties, and
it will eat into the potatoe seed, often
entirely destroying the germ.
What is needed for the potatoe is
more potash, though it should be ap-
piled in combination not caustic.
Fresh wood ashes will rot potatoe
seed as quickly as will commercial
phosphate, and if applied in the hill
they may make the potatoe rot in the
fall where the germ lived to grow and
fill the hill. But if a very small pro-
portion of nitrates are added, as in
nitrate of soda, even fresh wood ashes
can be applied to potatoes without
danger of injuring them. If wood
ashes cannot be had, the best substi-
tute is nnuriate Of potash, which is not
caustic.
It is probably the lack Of available
potash in soil that is the cause Of
blight and rot, as well as Of most Of
the fungous diseases of trees and
fruits. There are fertilizer manufact-
urers who prepare special brands of
fertilizers for potatoes, and these
rlways include several per cent of
trash. 1t is worth every ones while
who grow potatoes for market to
give some of these brands trial and
learn how much the potatoe crop can
be increased by their use.-Anerican

WINDBREAKS ARE VALUABLE.

The value of windbreak has been
definitely determined. In order to Sc
cure con sensus of opinion from the
farmers and fruit growers, Professor
T. W. Card, Of the Nebraska Expert
ment Station, sent inquiries to resi-
dents in Nebraska and adjoining states
and also to number of localities in
New York, the idea being to deter
mine the comparative Importance Of
windbreaks on the western prairies
and the more hilly lands of the east.
The great majority Of the replies
favored Windbreaks, and the reasons
given are note worthy. The most
generally accepted idea of their BEN
eft is their protection against cold,
but SO far as the plains are concerned
this feature is of minor Importance.
In sheltering stock and dwellings
thhy have an important office to fulfil
gainst cold, but for the residents of
the prairie the cold is not sufficient to
cause much loss The greatest prob
lem of the plains is conserving to the
utmost extent the available supply Of
moisture during the growing season,
where winds are high and continuous
evaporation is most rapid and drouth
damage first felt. Occasionally hot
winds sweep over the western prairies
doing untold damage to the farm and
fruit crop. While windbreaks cannot
prevent these, they can lessen their
force and thus prevent much of the
injury which is due to the rapid evap-
Grafton of moisture.
Another important item is that
where orchards are exposed to the full
force of the wind during the fruiting
season a good part of the crop is
blown off. That there are objections
to windbreaks cannot be denied. If
close and compact they prevent free
circulation of air, and thus make pos
sible injury from frost, where it would
not occur were there nothing to pre-
vent the free movement of the air.
Fungous diseases and insects are Civ
en- a home. Where birds are liable
to damage fruit, it affords an oppor-
tunity for building nests and raising
young. In the east the windbreaks
should be placed to the north and
west for the same reason. A wind
break on one side of an orchard is of
little value.
AS to the kinds of trees used, the
Russian mulberry seems to be the
western favorite. Ash, box elders,
willow, red cedar, soft maple, and
Lombardy poplar have been used
with satisfactory results. Norway
spruce is most commonly used in the
eastern states.-Amaericun Agricultur-
ist.

Don't be Miserable any Longer.

Those who never had their vitality impaired have
no idea of the misery experienced by the person
who has lost that brightness of feeling, that elias
ITCHY of body and cheerfulness of spirits which
suit from i'll health. Depression, gloom, forebod-
ings and all the misery associated with them make
life burden. Now there is need of this The
condition described, which is often the result of
fooslshness ignorance, can be cured. Dr. Greene,
81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass, the great special
ist and most successful doctor in curing disease,
can change gloom to cheerfulness and give you re-
Dewed vigor and vitality. You can consult the
Doctor by letter, free. Write to him at once and
get his advice. You will never regret it.

WHY 4 UTUMN LEA YES ARE
COLORED.

The casting of the leaf is not sud :
den and quick response to any single
change in environmental conditions.
but is brought about with a complex
interplay of processes begun days and
perhaps weeks before any external
changes are to be seen. The leaf is
rich in two classes Of substances one
of which is of no further benefit to it,
and another which it has constructed
at great expense of energy, and which
| is in form for the highest possible
usefulness to the plant. To this class
belongs the compounds in the proto-
plasm, the green color bodies, and
whatever surplus food may not have
been previously conveyed away. The
substances which the plant must need
discard are in the form of nearly in
soluble crystals, and by remaining in
position in the leaf, drop with it TO
the ground and pass into that great
complex labatory of the soil, whereby
slow methods and disintegration, use
full elements are set free, and once
again may be taken up by the tree and
travel their devious course through
root hairs along the sinuous roots and
up through million celled columns of
the trunk, out through the twigs to
the leaves once more.
The plastic substances within the
leaf, which would be a loss to the plant
if thrown away, undergo quite
different series of changes. These
substances are in the EXTREMIST parts
Of the leaf, and to pass into the plant
body must pene trate many hundreds
of membranes by diffusion into the
long conducting cells around the ribs
Of nerves and down the twigs and
stems. The successful retreat of this
great mass of valuable matter is not
a single problem. These substances
contain nitrogen as a part of their
compounds, and as consequence are
very readily broken down when ex-
posed to the sunlight. In the living
normal leaf the green color forms
most effectual shield from the action
Of the sun, but when the retreat is be-
gun, one of the first steps results in
the disintregation of the chlorophyll.
This would allow the fierce rays of
the September sun to strike directly
through the broad eXpanses of the
leaf, destroying all within, were not
other means provided for protection.
In the first place, when the chloro
phyll breaks down, among the result
ing substances formed is cyanophyll
(blue) which absorbs the SUMS rays
in the same general manner as the
chlorophyll. In addition the outer
layers of cells of the leaf contain
other pigments, some OF which have
been masked by the chlorophyll, and
others which are formed as decompo-
sition products so that the exhibits
outwardly a gorgeous panoply of
colors in reds. yellows, and bronzes
that makes up magnificent display.

CAN'T BE DISPROVEM.
Honolulu People May Dispute This
But They Can't Disprove 1t.

When a lady allows her opinions to
be made public and prefaces them with
an introductory sentence like that
which follows she must have fncon-
trovertible evidence to back them up.
Whatever her neighbors estimate may
be of her ideas one thing cannot be
disproven, her conviction as far as she
is personally concerned cannot be
shaken. 1t certainly is tribute that
anyone interested in an article which
has come to Honolulu to stay ought
never to lose sight of, and at time
when so many preparations are before
the public, all claiming representations
that border on the miraculous, 1t

in Their Home at Perry, Ok.
WICHITA, Kan, November 1S.-A
report from Perry, Ok, says that two
children of a family of the name of
Henderson were killed by falling me-
teors there. Six meteors fell in and
around the house, one crushing
through the roof Other members of
the family were injured by the roof
falling in upon them. Each Of the
meteors weighed not less than 500
pounds. They were very hot. Several
fell in the high grass and set it on fire.
The two children We're crushed to death.
1t was some time before aid came to
other members of the family, as they
lived a mile away from neighbors. The
windows were broken in many houses
in Perry. The meteors made a great
noise flying through the air and the
sky was Illuminated.
