Midway MethOd of Growing Tomatoes.
AS a grower of tomatoes for thirty
years, l do not hesitate to say that
until one has grown an acre or two
after the midway method he does not
suspect the possibilities of his plant
The plat for tomatoes, whether large
or small, is checked off three by three
feet, and Il stake firmly driven in at
each check. The seeds are sOwn in
well-made cold frames about six
weeks before the plants are wanted
for setting out in the open ground.
When the time arrives, three we'll
grown, stOcky plants are set around
each stake in triangle 12Xl2X12
inches. Before the plants are set the
soil has been we'll prepared with plow
and harrow. roller if necessary, har-
rowing in If necessary, plenty of
good ammoniated phosphate, with
potash. The tomato does its best in
soil well supplied with the mineral
elements. The crop is pushed from
the start with all necessary shallow
cultivation, going through with the
hoe once or even three times.
About the time the first fruit begins
to set, the vines are encircled with u
band of cloth or coarse Irvine, draw.
ing them slightly in to the stake. This
band, placed twelve or fifteen inches
from the ground, ordinarily keeps the
fruit from the earth. l split the STAKE
ON rainy days. They are made aboul
three feet long.
Sometimes l have varied the plan a
little by using two plants to the stake.
one on each side, and having the rows
twenty-eight or thirty inches. One
acre grown in this manner will usually
produce as much understandable fruit
as two acres in the ordinary way. II
is equally satisfactory also when only
a few dozen or few hundred plants
are grown.-Samuel y. Cook, in
American Agriculturist t.,

Farmer and His Mules
Special to the Evening Journal

Georgetown, March 1S.-John y.
Kendi, one Of the most prosperous and
up-tO-date farmers in this vicinity
had one of the most exciting expert
ences on Saturday ever heard OF in
this community.
Mr.. Kendi, who Is very early truck
or and farmer in general, contemplated
plOwing up his early white potato
patch in order to have 1T ready to plant
MS crop of potatoes this week. Upon
arriving at the place where he intend
ed to plOw with a pair of fine young
mules. and years old, respectively.
Mr.. Kendi noticed a number of bum
BILE bees of enormous size, but evil
IDENTIFY did not give them much
thought He succeeded in getting THE
I land laid of for plOwing as he desired,
when. to his surprise, he was made a
victim of a humble bee. which stung
him just below the eye. The wound
quickly became swollen to the size
a hens egg. He was somewhat un-
nerved by nhe occurrence. but was de-
! termined to finish his potato patch, re
gardless of humble bees. His eye was
soon bandaged, and again he went tC
work as before
He had not gone many rounds, wher
he was astonished to find that he had
unearthed a nest Of humble bees, which
had been sleeping through the Ions
winter months. He stopped his mules
to make an investigation, when h'
and the mules were covered with tins
angry bees Both man and mules were
in a predicament. Upon being stunl
the mules began to kick and run. MT
Kendi was unable to hold them, ant
he fed to a nearby pond of water
where he plunged i'm to escape beini
stung to death.
The mules. in trying to escape iron
their tormenters, came in contact wit
a barbwire fence, which enclosed TN
= field. One plunged headlong into tn
fence. and was instantly killed. Tn
animals head was cut nearly two
thirds Off The other mule receives
tremendous gashes, and had to b
killed.
Mr.. Kendi made his way to the hous
as quick as possible. and upon his al
rival there his wife rushed hither an
