one exception, OH the ground. All Of
the plants used were started early, so
that they were of good size when trans
planted into permanent positions. By
SO doing earlier maturity and conse-
quent greater profit were gained. MI.
Rane says:
From tomato plants the seed Of
which was sown on March 10 and the
plants set into the ground beds be-
tween lettuce on April 9 we began pick
ing fruit on July 10. The plants were
set Ii inches apart each way and train
ed to one stem. The varieties used
were Early Acme, Beauty, New Liber-
ty Bell, Ignotum, Fordhook First and
Bonds Early Minnesota. These varie-
ties from past experience had proved
very valuable for forcing.
On examination Of data at hand it
was found that Aug. 10 could safely be
counted upon as about the ripening
period Of the outdoor crop in New
Hampshire. Figuring the yield per
average plant for each variety to Aug.
10 and then taking the average of the
whole the yield figured 2 pounds 6h
ounces per square foot. The average
price which tomatoes have brought be-
tween July 10 and Aug. 10 has been
at least Z cents per pound. Two
pounds 615 ounces at Z cents a pound
equal nearly 1853 cents, the income
from n square foot. Multiplying this

A Notion Worth Attention,

Prevention Of oat smut by hot air
treatment of the seed is a new idea
advanced by the Oregon station. Seed
was heated in a laboratory hot air ster-
iizer. 1t was found that exposure to
heat in a wide range (from 40 degrees
to 200 degrees F. for ten minutes did
not affect termination. It is suggested
that hop and fruit driers could be used
for this purpose. 1t does away with
all the apparatus needed IN the hot wa
ter and chemical solution treatment
and obviates trouble Of drying the seed
and the. danger OF injury to the seed
through termination, mold or decay,
which may occur with the wet method.
IN n instance seed 50 treated pro-
duced but a single head affected with
smut, and this might have come from
g kernel Of accidentally untreated
seed.

Greenhouses, more particularly fore

This may be overdone in time, but at
present it is a valuable source of in,

the prevailing custom to clean out the

idle until time to prepare for the fall

Some time ago it occurred to Frank

That Quantity of Alcohol Taken Daily
VIII Make Drunkard of
Any Individual.

I am assured from observation ex.
tending through 50 years of profes.
sional life that 2H ounces Of alcohol
or the equivalent in the finest bran
dies, whisky, wines or ales, used daily
for a period of time at all extended,
will not fail to make an alcohol hab-
itue of the most finely endowed man
or woman in the world. The nervous
system surely registers the abnormal
impression, no matter how carefully
the 2h ounces of alcohol may be
taken. Once an habitue and under
the control of the alcoholic mania. the
strongest man or woman becomes i'm
potent to escape from the tyranny Of
its power.
Thirty-six years ago two of the
noblest physicians. men of fine native
and physical powers, commenced the
use of two tablespoonfuls of whisky
to induce sleep when oyerworked.
They were younger than myself. One
gradually lost his standing and prac-
tice and died four years ago. filling
a drunkards grave; the other, pos
sesslng great native hardness Of con-
stitution, fingers yet. a hopeless and
helpless alcohol habitue. whom the en-
tire medical pharmacopoeia nor the
strongest moral aid has availed to
save. Two and one-half
oupoac of obxoIu+a alcohol ara aoua1
in volume TO five tablespoonfuls. This
amount of alcohol is found in ten Ia
blespoonfuls of the purest whisky or
brandy. l have recently secured the
services of two eminent chemists, who
have analyzed six varieties of the
finest wines, native and imported.
give the result of these analyses by
volume in common measurements,
each being somewhat less than the
measure stated, to avoid fractional
reckoning: Two Of our finest Calfor-
MIA wines contain six tablespoonfuls OF
alcohol in a pint. One much-vaunted
American wine has little over eight
tablespoonfuls of pure alcohol in one
pint. One brand of port contains seven
tablespoonfuls of alcohol 10 a pint.
One French wine, imported and much
advertised, contains five tablespoon
fuls of alcohol to pint. The lightest
wine, a California brand. contains four
tablespoonfuls of alcohol TO a pint

shooting GunsntHniIstorm..

Consul Covert at Lyons reports an
effort TO dissipate hallstorms over
vineyards by firing cannon at them:
50 cannons, manned by 1O4 cannoneers,
having been distributed over 800 acres
Of vine land, the cost being borne
jointly by the government, the de-
partmental council and the National
Agricultural society. some wealthy
vineyardists adding IA cannons. a
high point was selected as central post
Of observation a signal code adopted.
and when a shot was heard from this
post, the other cannons followed. 40
first twice a minute. then more slowly
after the first ten shots. Results were
so satisfactory that the system will be
extended. II Is said the practice was
known in France over 100 years ago.
and that it originated in italy.
