was no observable difference where
the two were used side by side on
our tomatoes last season.
Do not use stable manure directly
on tomatoes, as it tends TO produce
rot. If your tomatoes show signs of
this disease spray with Bordeaux
mixture.
Dwarf Champion, Imperial, and
Beauty are good varieties for early
planting.
THE SECOND CROP.
For the second crop the seed is
sown in rows one foot apart in open
ground about the middle of April in
our locality. We have tried plant
ing seed in the field where the plants
are TO grow, but this has not proved
satisfactory owing to the difficulty
in getting a uniform stand. Then,
too, the young plants are liable TO
be killed by attacks of the flea beetle,
and these insects are troublesome to
fight in the field. After the plants
are up they should be thinned TO
three or four inches apart, and in
June transplanted to the field.
Water the plants thoroughly before
taking them up and try to remove
them with some soil adhering TO the
roots. It is a good plan TO place the
plants in flats or small boxes, as they
are taken up and carry them thus to
the field.
The late crop is managed in a SINH
lar manner, the seed being planted
about the middle of June and the
plants set in the field the latter part
of July or the first of August. The
Matchless and Stone will be found
excellent varieties for these latter
crops.
GULL CAREFULLY.
Gull your tomatoes carefully no
matter whether they r to be sold
on the local market or shipped. Only
smooth perfect fruit will command
the top of the market. A mixed lot
will attract few purchasers and bring
Indifferent prices. Better sell the
culls by themselves for whatever
they will bring, or feed them to the
hogs. The tomatoes should be gath
cred at least every other day. Pick
into shallow baskets so they will not
bruise each other. If they are TO be
shipped, pick as soon as they show
signs of turning, but do not pick
them green. There we're a lot of
green tomatoes shipped into Atlanta
last summer which we're a total loss
TO the grower. The commission men
could do nothing with them, for by
the time they began to color they
were so wilted no one would have
them.
Wrap the tomatoes in paper and
pack in crates with the stats close
together TO prevent their edges out
ting the fruit. Or better still, use
the six basket-carrier. In n case
take pains when sending your fruit
to market if you hope to get good re-
turns. +. j. MERRIAM.

ANTRIM.

The wrecked steamship Whiteabbey,
which went down, with all hands, at
the entrance to Belfast Tough, on the
10Th Of November last, was, on August
IL, successfully raised and, after
spending the winter months at thu
bottom of the sea, continued her jour.
ney into port in tow of the steamship
Auckland, and discharged her cargo
of 24O tons of coal at the Belfast
docks. The wreck had taken place in
broad daylight; but so strong was the
hurricane and SO dense the rain that
the ship was not seen from shore, and
the washing up Of her lifeboat ana
matches in Ballyholme gave the first
forewarning of the sad news. None
of the bodies Of the crew We're recov-
cred, but the captains field-glasses,
spectacles, and sum of money were
found in his cabin. The ship was in
tact, and her engines perfect. The
cause of her being wrecked was re-
vealed in the breakage of a chain con-
nected with the steering gear, which
left her at the mercy of the heavy
seas. She was pumped dry and is
again fit for service.
CORK.
On the morning of August 9th Mr..
NJ. Fitzpatrick, of Milistreet, was re-
leased from the Cork County Jail, the
two months to which he was sentenced
under the Coercion Act, having ex-

Mr.. G. O'Callaghan, NJ. c. c., Mill
street; Mr.. J. D. O'Sullivan, secretary
Millstreet U. l. L.; and Mr.. T. Cor
coran. Eight o'clock was the time
fixed but the authorities, probably an
ticipating a demonstration, released
Mr.. Fitzpatrick an hour earlier. A
deputation from the Cork branch OF
the United Irish League had arranged
on Tuesday night to meet at 7:30 the
following morning, which they did,

Banner of the Gael.

Take again, o! Men Of Erin, take the
banner of the Gael,
Fling it to the winds Of heaven, high
DER mountain, hill and vale;
Sons of sires who never faltered,
never yielded to the foe,
Through thousand years of slaugh-
ter, bondage, famine, wrong and
woe.
Up again for home and freedom, side
by side in wars array,
What our fathers did for ages we
their SOILS; must do today.
What care we for Jail or gibbet-ours
THE battle for the right
What care we for persecution, for the
tyrant and his might;
Jail and gibbet, contiscation, fire and
famine, rack and sword,
Have but fired our love tor freedom
made our island more adcred
Have but swelled the mighty chorus
ringing all the ages through.
OF thy sons who'd die for freedom, our
dear motherland! for you.
Sons of sires who never faltered, let
your voice in thunder tone
Crash across the waste of waters to
the robber Saxon's throne,
Tell the monarch and his mi. ellngs
what they fail to understand,
That the Irish are united and today
their rights demand.
That with tongue or pen, or rife, on
the hills of Congress Hall,
Well have Ireland for the Irish or
We'll perish one and all.

+ FROM IRELAND !


A Tower Hath Fallen In Erin!
archbishop Croke, the beloved prelate
Of Cashel and Emily, died
July %, 1922
\ tower hath fallen i'm Erin, a pillar
tower of the past,
And souls of men are shaken, like
reeds in a wintry b.ast.
A tower hath fallen in Erin; long we
have seen it loo M
Like the pillar of fire DER Zion, to
save the land from doom.
Weep We in sainted Cashel, weep We
in Ormond's Vale,
Ye shall not find his equal, the prelate
and prince of the Gael
Slieve-Bloom and the purple Galtys, re-
echo the banshee's caoine,
BY the grass-grown tomb Of Cormac
her pallid face is seen.
Swells from the harp Of Erin, trem-
ulous dirge of woe;
The pride OF her heart, her bravest, at
Cashel today lies low.
Who joyed in her hour of glory, who
grieved her wrongs to see,
AS he joyed with his Lord on Thabor
and sorrowed on Calvary.
Noble his soul and lofty, his brow
was clothed in power;
His. voice brought strength and COM
fort in the nations darkest hour.
When We drain the unfathomed ocean,
when We measure unbounded
space,
Ye shall gauge the love of Banba for
the purest of her race.
Patriot, prince and prel;lte, true to his
land and creed,
Celt of the Celts, untainted, kingly in
thought and deed.
We in our grief are selfish; golden his
great reward
Who toiled tilro' stress of the noon
tide in the vineyard of the Lord.
There is rest in the blissful region
where our prelate and prince
has gone,
And only ours is the SORROW who wait
for the breaking dawn.

Those New Amendments.

tiers OF the state eight amend.
ments 10 the state constitution,
says the Columbia Herald.
The first amendment repeats
the amendment which was
adopted at the last general
election to the effect that all
property shouldabe liable for
taxation in the district where it
is situated. If this amendment
is adopted all property will be
assessed at the residence of the
owner 1t is strange that this
radical change in the taxing
system, causing so animated
discussion two years ago, is
now referred to.
The second amendment, if
adopted, would permit counties
to adopt township organiza ton
by a majority vote of those
voting upon the proposition.
The constitution at present re-
quires majority of all those
voting at a general election.
The third amendment refers
wholly TO st. Louis, changing
tnc method by which the char
ter of that city may be amend
ed and permitting enc instead
of two houses of legislation.
The fourth amendment also
refers wholly TO st. Louis. 1t
permits the city of ST. Louis to
levy for municipal purposes at
the rate as if the city was a
county.
The fifth amendment affects
only cities over 100000 inhab.
itants, st Louis. Kansas City
st. joseph. At present these
cities can only levy for school
purposes forty CENTS on the lone
hundred dollars valuation with
out special rate, the same as
other school districts, The
amendment allows a levy of
sixty cents in these three cities.
The sixth amendment has ref
erence to st. Louis and Kan.
sas City alone. If adopted it
will allow these cities to issue
bonds for municipal purposes
to an extent not exceeding tiv re
per cent of the value of their
taxable wealth, not including
in the estimate of bon4ed iu-
debtedness the bonds for water
works already issued. The
constitution at present includes
the waterworks bonds which
practically prevents the issu
ance of any further bonds for
public Improvement.
The seventh amendment is
the so-calied schoo! fund
amendment. 1t reduces the
present STATE interest tax from
ten to three cents on the one
hundred dollars, provides for
the eXtinguishment of the bond.
