Now for Tomatoes.
Cotton Plant.

The tomato IL an important article of food.
They are easily raised. One may have an
abundance of them from July ! until q xii
ling frost comes. When planted In rich soil
II is better TO prIne them and tie to stakes
about four feet high. II the soil IN not very
rich they will do about ~ we'll 10 grow an
they incline. They should have more room
than when stsked and pruned. They ARE
easily canned. and they retain their flavor
well. When put up In glass they are nearly
as good as fresh tomatoes from the vines.
Every family should plant enough for the
winter. Seed sown up To the middle Of June
and planted out In July will make a fine late
crop. An energetic housekeeper can pnt up
n few dozen cans which will prove O luxury
when the scare. times OF spring come.

yesterday afternoon Lewis came back
and was accompanied by another party
whom he learned was Bob Cotton.
They commenced 20 make a rough
