Where to Raise Tomatoes.-The best soil
for tomatoes is a rich, deep, sandy loan.
The next best is a deep, rich, gravellv.
loan, but If the gravel comes too near
the surface, the crop in dry seasons will
be light Such soils are usually dry
and well-drained in their natural condi-
ton, and take in the heat of the sun
more than heavy soils. Muck soils may
sometimes grow good crops of tomatoes
If well drained; but they are apt to grow
TOO much vine and the fruit does not set
early and freely, so that the crop comes
in late, and consequently is seldom proft-
able. Clay loan may be made in fair
condition for crop by good under drain
age, using three-inch tile to put in three
feet deep and not more than thirty feet
apart Heavy clay soils should be avoid
ed, as they will not be profitable to grow
tomatoes on
Vitality of Seed.-In examining the
stores of garden seed on hand. 1t is well
to remember that some seeds lose vitality
early, while others are but little injured
by protracted keeping. As an average,
beans are good three years, beets six
years. cabbage and carrots five years,
celery eight years, cucumbers ten years,
egg plant and gourd six years, Indian
corn onions and satisfy two years, musk
melons and radishes five years, parsley
and peas three years, pumpkins and to-
matoes four years. squash and water
melon six years. II f. always best 10

Tug Gone to Bark India.

The tug VIM. F. McCauley Capt Van
B. Avery, left yesterday for the scene of
the wreck of the Norwegian bark India.
which was wrecked Monday in the break
ers off Warsaw Island. 1t is doubtful
whether any property of value will be
found, however as the rough weather for
the past few days has probably finished
the breaking up Of the vessel
James Foley has the contract to wreck
the India, il there is anything to get from
her. Judging from her position and condi-
ton at the time the crew left her, it is
not thought much, if any property, will be
there to recover. The officers and crew
of the vessel are stfn being cared for at
the Port Society,"

FeeiinrLittie Chicks.

Probably there is no better ration for
young chicks for the first three or four
weeks than bread crumbs, rolled oats

Rural Press, have found very little
Venetian red IA product of iron in the
water To be very beneficial This is
highly recommended by many Eastern
growers, and its efficacy has been found
by the writer As to feeding after the
first three or four weeks. tAe rule, as
laid down hv many practical expert
enced men, is little and often as, in
deed. during the first weeks OF the
birds existence. IT may seem heresy
to some. but think il GOOD plan to
keep always before the chie,i nj least.

Trees have a distinct value on a place
and add greatly to the enjoyment Of
the farm as home and also to its sell
ing value The worth of a well grown
tree win differ In different localities, of
course and there are few places in
the west, comparatively treeless az the
prairies are, where trees are worth as
much as in the Eastern States. In a
recent lawsuit In Niagara County. New
York, row of shade trees had been
destroyed i'm front of country home
by the building of a trolley liue, and
expert testimony was called to settle
their value. The trees had been plant
ed twenty six years and were mostly
maple, The testimony showed thir-
teen of them to be worth 500 each,
nine were worth S6J each and few
others We're appraised at Sl25 each.
These values We're Lot reduced by the
testimony of the defendant company
that had destroyed the trees AS a
country grows older adornmeuts of this
kind become more valuable because
more appreciated and it would be hard
to Predict what a good, well-located
shade tree would be worth twenty six
years hence.

Distance a part of Corn Hills.
When we were young we were taught
to make the burrows for corn hills four
feet apart each way, but later on we
decided tt VI 31g feet each way was bet
ter as giving many more hills 70 the
acre, and afterward when truck farm
ing we put sweet corn 31a feet apart
one way and three the other for all but
the large evergreen varieties, and we
found it TO produce just as many ears
to the hill and to fill them out just as
well as when we used more space. we
MANFRED literally, had the wide rows
run nearly north and south to let the
sun in, and used the cultivator only
one way. The difference between th
last method and the first one was the
difference between rs square feet to
hill and 11h square feet, or we had
3,7S7 hills to the acre instead of 2,T22,
gain of .0G3 hills or nearly a half
acre. We never weighed the crop or
counted the ears to know the actual
gain in production, but our observation
convinced us that there was a gain in
the closer planting If anyone has
made or will make the test carefully
to know the exact results we should
be glad to publish it, but we shall stipu
hate that 1t must be on god soil made
rich enough to produce good crop and
shall be well cared for. American Cul
