What is the best mode of growing to-

adapted to growing them1 Answer by

Mr.. Hayhurst: They will grow in any
kind of soil and my method is stalking
them, but, of course, that would not
be practicable in large patch.

best for tomatoes, dig hole, put in
enough manure to mature the plant, by
the time the manure is exhausted the
tomato will be grown and the crop will
then ripen.
Mr.. Pontius. There will be market
for an immense crop required lin Can
ton. want to know how to grow
on large scale, have planted 1000 plants
in moderately rich soil, think poor soil
would probably be best.
Mrs. Ramsey thinks beans and toma-
toes should be planted in poor soil.
Mr.. Grant recommends trimming the
vines after as many tomatoes are set as
you think will mature.
Mr.. Hayhurst has better results since
he trims the vines, has heard it recon-
mended to mulch with straw to keep the
tomatoes off the ground.
Mr.. Grant would hill the vine up be-
fore it fell, as soon as the vine falls il
spreads out and the sun gets a chance tc
ripen the fruit.
Mr.. Holl asks if any one has had any
trouble with grapes rotting2
Mr.. Grant reports plenty of it. 1t is
best to keep the vines cut off, when they
are too much shaded they rot more
easily.
QUERY NO. 2.
Is is beneficial to the crop to remove
the secondary stalk or suckers in the
corn field?
Mr.. Hayhurst says remove them every
time. Sweet corn, which suckers more
freely than field corn, is very much ben
eftted by having them removed.
COMMITTEE ON APPLES, PEARS AND
OUNCES.
There are no pears or ounces on exhi-
bition. Clayton Holl, of New Berlin,
has on exhibition a specimen of Red
Astrachan apples of somewhat irregular
size, but good for this season.
Mrs. NJ. A. Ramsey has on exhibition
fine specimen Of "Tetofsky" which is
one of the most valuable early varieties
of excellent quality.

MANY unsolicited testim onials have
been received from farmers praising
the Ideal Binder as the "Lightest
draft and most perfect binder that
ever cut a swath."
MORE DEERING HAY RAKEs are
made than the combined output Of

are the most popular because they
are the most economical, most easily

1t is Estimated by Treasury Officials
to Amount 10 About $275,000,000.
On Account of the Philippine Insurrectiou

Aggregate Over $500, 900 900.
WHAT THE WAR HAS COST.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (speclaD.-Treasury
officials sayit Is impossible to state exactly
The cost OF the war with Spain, but study
u the Governments expenditures during
the last year gives an approximation Of the
amount. Many items charged In the
Treasury statements as "civil and mlscel.
laneous" arc really, directly or Indirectly,
caused BY. the war. This Is conspicuously
true Of the 800, 600, 900 indemnify paid to
creased expenditures for clerks employed
OH the bond issue, and for employees re.
luired In several bureaus OF the War and
Navy Departments.
An approximate calculation places the
expenditures Of the Treasury thus far on
account OF the war with Spain at S275,-
BOO, ,OOG
Increased expenses on account OF the war
before tho beginning OF the fiscal year
amounted to about $55, 900 900. Since July
1, 1898, the increase hns been about S220,-
600 900. This includes the payment OF $780,
OOO, 900 to Spain and the expenses incurred
In suppressing the Philippine insurrection.
It Is expected that the war expenditures
for the remaining two months OF the fiscal
year will bring the total up to about $780,
60O, 900.
Expenses OF the navy are rapidly being
reduced to normal basis, but the Philip
pine campaign Is keeping up the War De.
partment expenditures, The Navy Depart
ment expenses In April were "a, ,62s, 900,
which is not largely In excess OF the nor
NAL. The War Department expenses are,
Of course, very heavy and they will proba-
bly, never again be anywhere nearly so
small as they were before the Spanish war.
The aggregate strength Of troops en-
ployed during the war was approximately
275,00O covering the period from May. 1898,
to April, 1899, inclusive. During this time
the deaths from all causes were 6190, or two
and quarter per cent.

Asserts That His Men Are Entitled to .
Double Reward For tho Manila Fight.
WARRINGTON, D. G. (speclaD.-The Navy
Department has transmitted to the COURT
OF Claims a report OF Admiral Dewey,
In which he contends that the Spanish
fleet that was destroyed by the
American squadron In Manila Bay on:
May l., 1893, was In combination With
the shore batteries. superior to the Ameri-
can naval forces. With the report Of Ad-
miral Dewey was sent the list OF the claims
for bounty by officers and men who parti-
cipated In the actions of Manila Bay.
Among the papers inclosed are those re.
lating to the cruiser Ralelgh's part in the
Manila Bay Victory, with list OF officers
and men OF that vessel entitled to bounty.
T. The report from Admiral Dewey Is the
most important communication In regard
to bounty claims growing out OF the war
with Spain. Upon the view taken by the
Court OF Claims Of Admiral Deweys con-.
tention will depend the amount Of money
to be paid to Dewey and the officers and
men Of his May-day squadron for destroying
the Spanish ships. Under the law on the
subject the Government Is required to pay
800 for each officer and man on an enc
my's ship destroyed by an American ves-
sci, when the American naval force Is gu
perIor to the enemy. II, as Admiral Dewey
holds, the enemy's force was the superior,
the bounty must be 5000 for each officer
and man on the enemy's ships. There were
about 1900 men in the crews OF the Spanish
vessels at Manila, and the Court OF Claims
must decide whether $3.50, ,0O0 or $3.50 900
shall be decided among the American
crews.
