tic struck terror to the hearts OF the people
of old Bull Frog and Back Creek Neck,
but cross-eyed Ben, undaunted, gathered
up his loved Becky Jane, kissed his mother
and hied him away to do battle, for what
or whom he never knew; neither did he
know whether the fighting was to he done
with butcher knife. club or in puglistio
style, but one thing, many seem to recnllect
that Ben went armed with the very same
cruel knife which he had dissmboweled
honest old George with. Ben presented
his uncouth body to the recruiting officer
for enrolment, but the official wasn't
taking any of that kind at that particular
time, and Ben, full Of wonder as to why
Uncle Sammy refused to take a regular
man killer, ambled back to the Bull Frog.
Ben chafpd under the insult which his
Uncle Sammy put upon him by refusing to
take him as soldier boy, and he was
furious for many days and actually told
old Beck that il they could ever catch the
chance that he would take her and they
would go and fight for jeff Davis, saying:
81 like him." But there did come an
epoch, inst about one year after Benny
had receivedhis insult at the hands of dear
old Uncle Sam, when he was gladly ac-
cepted by his worthy old uncle, and even
this time his pockets were caused to bulge
out with a juicy bounty crowded therein,
which served as balm in healing the once
wounded heart of crooked eyed Ben. But
that was when honest old Abe found q
very large white elephant providing around
in his lovely pasture, and the terrible
quadruped was about to trample the very
life from the splendor which the magniti-
cent garden contained. Oh yes! This
was after Bull Run and several other SUI
prise parties had come off This was about
the period when Mr.. Lincoln's secretary
OF war asked him why certain general
was 40 long in taking an insignificant fort
which he had been storming for several
months at the front, when the same
general had taken SO many wonderful forts
in the Mexican War. The greatest man
that ever lived except Christ himself, sim
ply answered, because, Mr.. Secretary,
the very boys who helped take those
Mexican forts are keeping him out down
yonder."
All, yes! Benny was sworn in with
Becky Jane under his arm, and though
there were several hundred men standing
and moving about the camp, Bens crooked
ayes were peering at every one of them at
the same time. And what a surprise Ben
was to all who knew him because OF the
fact that cross-eyed Ben proved as good a
soldier as there was in the grand old Sixth
Mary land Volunteers.
Now, see, we propose to cut adrift from
the old Frog and its surroundings and fol-
low Ben and old Beck through the war,
for be it known that we were there as we'll
as cross eyed Ben.

TOMATO GROWING.

A Practical Talk Upon the Subject by

lnasmuch az there will be much tomato
growing in Crei county this year our
agrcultursts will reid with interest the
address OF Alfrei J. Wilson before the
Peninaula lInr 10 Ilt,ral Society.
Mr.. Wilson did not touch upon the early
market crop, bus confined himaelf to the
great crop for canning purposes raised on
81 hear the pessimist cry out that we
cannot grow tomatoes in paying crops any
more | must beg to differ with him, and
hope TO show his mistake
THE raising Of tomatoes, like All other
crops, requires the hest of our energie.
and the closest of attention, il you want it
to show in your bank account on the right
side. Begin at the beginning. Get the
hest seed that the market will afford; they
are none too good AS to the varieties,
there are the Paragon, Acme, Queen,
Stone, Royal Red and many others. Make
your seed bed in warm, rich soil and have
plenty OF we'll rotted stable manure and
use it plentifully. Fork it and put the
bed in as fine order as possible. Don't
SOW your seed too thick in the bed, for
when planting time COMES don t have your
plants twelve inches high and as thin as
knitting needle, but six inches and stout
and stocky.
''In regard to the land you cannot be
too careful. Select n plot of ground that
is naturally drained, one that will not sob
or scald. If you have not such land you
had better underdrain it or stay out OF the
business.
cone word about the manure; don't
forget it. After having selected your land,
which should be clover soil if you have it,
begin to haul the manure and give it a
plenty. Don't spare it, let the forkfulls
fall close together. Get your manure out
early, better in the fall. Then the first
open plough and drag, letting it lie until
the spring, and after the ground gets warm
and dry replough it and disc it both ways,
and drag again and keep it in good tillage
until planting time.
"In the meantime don't forget the young
plants in bed. Attend to them, for your
old friends the Colorado beetle will be
around.
"In regard to fertilizer, some prefer to
drop it in hills would advise broadcast
ing. Use a good bone fertilizer with
plenty Of potash and nitrogen in it. II
you cannot buy to suit you, mix it your
self, as compromising of fertilizer is no
secret. Put in from 400 to 800 pounds
per acre.

"As to time OF planting, I would say
nos earlier than the 18th Of May. Mark
off your land both ways not closer than
four feet and not over six. l would pre-
fer six feet. Give them room, and If you
have done your part they will cover

the beds before drawing plants, and il the
wind is south puddle the roots, being care
tul not to get any mud on the tops Some
Of you may smile at the idea Of planting on
a south wind, but all | ask Of you is to try
it and you will be convinced.
"Set your plants firmly in the ground.
Then in about four days start your fine
tooth harrow. 1t might be necessary to
go over with hoe and work close to the
plants before starting your wide toothed
harrow. That will depend on the season.
Don't spare labor Don't raise weeds and
grass, for packers don't want them.
"Some OF my hearers may say that his
father raised plenty OF tomatoes in the
waste places and along fence rows.

grandfather raised cattle on waste places
and without any grain. What would you
think il | should say to you, feed your
beautiful Jerseys Or your mammoth Short
horns on straw without any grain? What
would you get? | would answer, bones.
II any of my hearers wishe to raise
tomatoes like his father did, let him get
seed from his grandfather and he will sue
coed, Pve no doubt. But if he wishes to
raise tomatoes twelve inches in oircum-
ference, let him feed them, as he does his
Jerseys and his Shortborns.
zone grower of tomatoes says that if
we follow this advice the market will be
overrun with tomatoes. Is has been sew
eral years since packers of tomatoes have
been able to secure all the fruit they want
ed. The greatest trouble they encounter
ed has been the poor quality OF fruit A
packer said to me he would rather pay 80
ton for perfect, well ripened fruit than
So for such as he had TO take. The market
will take all the tomatoes we can grow. A
great many are shipped direct to Baltimore.
Baltimore packers are establishing houses
all over this Peninsula. The growers of
the Peninsula have great fight on hand,
as the growers of the great West are max
ing tremendous strides in the growing and
hacking of fruit and yppatahIes I wouId
remind members of this society to use every
effort to keep up with the times as these
are days Of expansion, as the history OF
packing will show. 1898 was the 51st
year OF packing tomatoes for commercial
purposes, when Mr.. H. A. Crosby, Of
Easton, Pa, entered the market and sold
them at so cents per can. Think Of it
Today they CAP be packed at 81 cents.
This comes from the use of steam and
