DWARF TOMATOES.

~ six pounds. : The special advantages
of the dwarf or upright form of the
garden tomato are that the plants are
more resistant and manageable than
the long, sprawling kinds. They can
be grown to good size in small pot
or box and suffer much less when set
out in dry and unfavorable weather.
They can be planted much nearer to-
gether. thus getting a larger yield from
limited grounds. The dense foliage
shades the fruit and greatly lessons

preserved by the slower ripening dur
ing extremely hot weather.
Mr.. T. j. White of New Jersey gets
the very first ripe tomatoes from this
variety as against all the extra

plants to sufficient size in four inch
pot under glass to set one or two clus-
tiers of tomatoes. which hold on and

Properly Preserved and Turned Into
Reef, Mutton or Butter. sf8
The tive has now arrived when the
fodder OF the corn crop must be saved.
The worlds demand for meat products
has outrun the supply. and apparently
the shortage will not he corrected for
years II ever The workingmen of the
cities are threatened with meat hum
ger. and the farmer must plan to in
crease his output of meat products at
fair prices rather than to profit by I'M
reasonably high prices on smaller
output, which would place the most
wholesome meat beyond the means Of
the workingman. sei
A ''tenderfOot" might fancy that the
fodder is not wasted If cattle or sheep
are turned into the cornfield for twin
ter pasture" after the husking Is fin
ished. But the practical farmer knows
that hay or any other crop must be cut
at just the right time to be of value.
Domestic hay would be worthless If it
stood uncut until winter, and the same
is true in practically the same degree
of corn fodder. If cut and cured at the
right time, corn fodder is rich in nutri-
tious juices that make 1t a better feed
when shredded for milk cows or sheep
than the best timothy hay. and horses
do well on it. But If this fodder stands
uncut it bleaches and dries out. the
blades and tops blow away or fall and
rot. and the nutritious sap dries up into
fiber that is as indigestible as plank.
Hence we find that fodder as winter
pasture" has only a nominal value Of
30 cents to ST an acre. while the same
fodder If crlt at the right time and
shredded is worth SIS to $25 an acre If
fed into beef or mutton or into butter.
says Farm. Field and Fireside.
Since cattle, hogs and sheep are
bringing better prices. the farmer is be-
ginning to take more thought for his
fodder crops. At present prices of live
stock corn fodder is the gold mine for
the farmer.
Does this mean that the meadows
are all to be plowed up and good old
fashioned hay discarded? By no means.
The same reasoning which would in
duce man to save the fodder part of
his corn, cut it cheaply and thoroughly,
cure it perfectly. with the corn sifted
out to prevent heating and molding.
and shred Improperly so that the ami
mails may get all the nutrition there is
In the stalk-the same array of argu-
ments makes it a matter of common
sense to save all your hay, cure it well
and put it where it will keep dry and
sweet for winter use. @
Where silo is practicable there are
many who will preserve silage and add
this relish. especially for dairy ami
mails. But. since many cannot well
have silo or at least do not have one.
it Is well to remember that properly
shredded cornstalks are now found to
be good substitute at all times Of the
year for silage. Shredder fodder will
keep. 1t retains it's nutrition. and it is
keenly relished by the stock. -

Sugar Beets.


1t Is stated that it does not necessa-
rily follow that sugar beets are lost
even if they should be frozen solid, as
the factories can readily work them
frozen. and. in fact some factory SUI
perintendents have said that they pre-
fer to work frozen beets. The one
thing to be guarded against in the case
of frozen beets is that they must not be
allowed to freeze and then thaw. s In
California. where rains or freezing is
not liable to occur. after the beets have
ripened and have gone into this state
of rest they are allowed to remain, in
the field until the grower is notified by
the factory tnat his beets must be de-
livered when they are harvested and
taken to the factory:

AS to the danger of pasturing rape
access to salt at all times and to an adj
jacent pasture have been helpful as
preventives. according to the Ontario
station. On frosty mornings, when
sheep eat freely of rape, especially of
the leaves of plants that are immature.
there is some danger that bowel disor-
ders will be induced. which may cause
death. When the heep have been re-
moved the previous evening and get a
moderate feed of oats in the morning
before they return, the danger is to
some extent lessened. 1t is at least
questionable If there is any profit in
pasturing rape after the stalks have
been made brittle with hard frost.

Jesse James Jr., has grown up IN Kan

that was left the widow when the IA

mortgaged and there was nothing to sup

TO get his schooling in the odd moments
when he was not earning money for his
mother and sister. When he became
larger he got a place in Armour's pack

sending his sister through school, and
thus enabling her to pass a teachers ex-

clear that home from the debt until its
title is now undisputed. Feeling that he
wanted to be in business for himself, he
left the packing house and set up cigar

And then came the train robbery. The
announcement that Lowe had turned

the citizens of the place. They had
