Early Tomatoes.

One of the southern experiment sta
tions has made trials with tomatoes
grown on plants that were started in
hotbed or greenhouse and transplantcd
compared with those grown on plants
started directly from seed in the field.
The latter came out ahead i'll earlineSs.
| hope my friends will not be misled
into the belief that such is the rule.
Much of the outcome of course de-
pends on the management of the plants
started under glass For my part | can
not get ripe tomatoes in July or even
| in August unless | start plants of ear
| ly varieties along in February, trans
plant them once or twice and give them
plenty of room to make them grow
stout and stocky, so that they can be
| trausplanted without checking growth.
But if you start the seedlings i'll hotbed
or cold frame in April and make them
spindling by inordinate crowding and
then set them out in May or early June,
with little root and tall, limp stalks
| where it will take them several weeks
to recover from the shock and begin
growth anew, the plants grown from
seed sown in open ground in May might
give ripe tomatoes in advance of the
others. If we grow the Earliana and
probably Nolte's Earliest and iIaules
Early and other first early sorts that
make comparatively little vine or foli-
age, we should bear in mind that they
need very fertile soil and more nitrog-
enous food than the later sorts, which
are apt to run largely to vine anyway.
Don't be afraid to use plenty of good
old manure in the soil where you plant
Earliana and others of that class. 1t is
the only way to get foliage enough to
make large, smooth fruit.-T. Greiner

How to Set pe,yberries.

Dewberry plants should be set six
feet apart A good plan is to run the
rows six feet apart and then cross at
right angles, with rows the same dis
tance apart. Right in the check, where
the cross comes, the plant can be set,
spreading out the roots well. Rasp-
berries, blackberries and grapevines
can all be set this way. Plants or
vines set this way can be plowed both
ways and hoeing almost entirely dis
pensed with in cultiyating the crop.
A good way to apply manure or fer
tilizer to plants set this way is to drill
it in the open furrow on the four sides
of the plant and cover with earth.
About the same manure can be used
on dewberries, blackberries and grapes
as on the strawberries. = American

The carnation.

The carnation has of late years be-
come a flower of vast Importance, and
it seems a question of rivalry between
the carnation and the rose for suprem-
acy. Carnations love new soil, and il
a newly broken up piece of land is
available it will always pay to use it
for this purpose. Set out the plants in
straight rows, with good strong labels
to each sort to avoid confusion. The
ground should be frequently hoed and
kept free from weeds. Care should be
taken, however, not to go too deep.
Later on a mulching of old and well
decomposed manure should be put be-
tween the rows. 1t will greatly assist
in retaining the moisture. If the wealth
er becomes very dry, one good water
ing will be found better than ten sprin-
kings.

The Rreeding season.

At this time of the year everybody
who is anybody at all with chickens is
planning for the breeding season. This
is the first and most important step in
breeding poultry, and the more serious
ly you look it in the face the easier will
the problem be solved. 1t is not time
for too much speculation; neither is it a
time when unnecessary risks should be
courted. The safest and best plan is to
select the cream of breeders at your
disposal and condition them in the best
possible manner. Spare nothing in at
tendance and watch carefully after
them, for it is first the breeders and
then the chicks. Good, active and ener-
getic breeding birds are what you
should select and avoid the overcrowd-
ing of the breeding pens. 1t is an un-
disputed fact that fewer birds will
produce in the long run more and better
birds than if twice the number were
kept in the same pens. Look well into
the conditions and plan everything ac-
cordingly The mistakes you made last
year should be avoided this, and to do
this you must ever be on the alert

Condition First Class Birds.

1t Pays to Send to Market In Good
Condition First Glass Birds.
But few have any conception Of the
number of fowls consumed in large
city during Thanksgiving and Christ
mas weeks. For Thanksgiving week
there were sold in New York city over
325,000 turkeys. In former years there
has been sold fourth more than this,
and as many as 425,000 have been sold
in one week, according to the New
York Herald. This season turkeys have
been scarce, not well finished and high
In price. This Is the explanation for
the falling off in sales. Last year tur-
keys sold at from to 5 cents per
pound lower in price than this year.
The same is true Of chickens, ducks
and geese, and even guinea fowls sell
higher than ever before. All this should
prove of advantage to the grower.
The day has about gone by for low
prices for poultry and eggs. All that
is needed now is for us to have good
quality in our poultry and eggs for
market, and they will sell well. Now
is the time to begin to plan for having
better than ever before. Pull away
from old time methods of poor quality
market poultry and work to have the
very best. For example, turkeys sold
in the New York market all the way
from 16 cents per pound to % and 30
cents per pound. Now, it did not cost
one cent more per pound to grow the
higher priced ones than the cheaper
ones 1t is simply a question of care
and feeding. Those who feed properly
and well have the finer quality and
the greater size or weight, while those
who do not feed properly and well
have the lesser weight and the lower
price. Quality controls the market to
a greater extent than is generally sup
posed.
1t is all very well to allow the grow
ing turkeys to hunt for bugs and grass
hoppers so long as they are plentiful,
but so soon us this kind of food dwin-
dies we must supply its place with 9th
er food as good, for two reasons-to
give them a full food supply and to
prevent them from walking the flesh
from their bodies going about in an
aimless way in search of food they
will not find. Just as soon as the cool
or cold nights begin to lessen the sup
ply of wild food of all kinds then we
must feed the stronger. Always see
to it that they have all the good, whole
some food they will eat at all times.
That is the way to grow turkeys. If
there are not plenty of bugs, worms,
grasshoppers, berries and nuts for
them, give them all the corn they will
eat every night and also good, strong
feed of it in the morning.

Peas For a soiIing Cron.

For the extreme southern limit on
which field peas are grown it is be-
leved that seed grown near by seems
best. North of that belt northern or
Canadian seed seems best. For the first
early spring sowing the pea should be
put in as soon as the ground is fit to
work and has been put in good shape
for seeding, weather conditions permit
ting. We haNe had heavy freezing and
snow after the peas were up, entirely
covering the plant, without serious in
jury. Drilling the seed, rather than
broadcasting or narrowing into the soil,
secures better covering and more uni
form stand. Use an ordinary grain
drill set for sowing oats; use only every
other hoe, or, if the ground be very
rich, every third hoe ard using six
pecls Of seed. Six pccks per acre of
oats of stiff strawed variety may be
drilled il. seven to ten days later than
the peas. so that both crops will reach
the milky stage together, says all Ohio

The Business way.

My fayorite way of growing straw
berries is in matted rows. This is the
business method. l set my plants far
enough apart so that get just plants
enough for the runners to make good
matted row with a good big patch left
between each two rows. This avoids
the necessity of cutting out many run
ners In small gardens l sometimes
set plants closer together, say fifteen
to eighteen inches apart in the rows
and the rows two feet apart. In that
case the plants must be kept down
to single stools. This requires very
close attention as to the removal of
the runners. The plants will run,
usually with great persistence, and
the runners must be removed just as
persistently to avoid trouble. These
single plants give a superior lot of
berries, especially berries of large size.
But for quantity the matted row is far
aheal, and we get good berries too.-

NEUFcHATEL CHEESE.


An Authority's Method of Making
the Genuine Article.
Following is the method for making
the true Neufchatel cheese:
The fresh mornings milk about 90
degrees) is set in a stone jar holding
about forty pounds or less, and only
rennet enough to coagulate it in about
twenty-four hours is added when stand
ing in a room of about GO degrees, and
shence it is necessary to use a reliable
rennet extract" The jar may be coy-
cred with woolen blanket or the like
to keep the temperature uniform.
When coagulated, the whole mass is
poured into a cheesecloth. which is Ell
ther placed in basket or hung up on
four supports fixed for that purpose.
Here it is left twelve hours to drain.
Then the cloth is gathered together
round the curd and placed in a square
wooden box with perforated bottom
and sides and pYessboard put on with
weights, say a few stones, and if more
weight is needed a small lever press.
1t is pressed for twelve hours and then
kneaded by hand on dry cloth into a
uniform stiff paste, and it requires ex-
perience to know the right consistency.
IL it is too moist, new dry cloths are
placed under it, and it is worked until
dry enough. But if too dry, it is a sign
that either too much rennet has been
used or the curd has been pressed too
much. In this case some new curd is
added and carefully mixed with the
other.
When of the right consistency, it is
put into the molds, little tin cylinders
of 215 inches diameter and inches
high. As far as that goes, any little
empty tin can may be used by unsolder-
ing the top and bottom. After smooth
ing both ends it is taken out again and
salted on the outside by strewing the
salt on both ends and lightly rolling
them between the hands covered with
salt.
They are then placed on a draining
board of any kind that is handiest and
left for twenty four hours. In the dry
ing room are lath shelves, on which
smooth, dry straw is placed, and the
cheeses are laid there without touching
each other. They are turned often
enough not to lose shape or stick to the
straw, and in two or three weeks they
are covered with their first skin,"
which is when the white mold showing
after five or six days turns into blue
mold. They are now taken to cellar
with similar shelves, where they are
placed on end on the straw and turned
every three or four days. After three
or four weeks in this place red spots
begin to appear, and the cheese is
ready for the market. 1t takes six
pounds of milk to one pound of cheese.
This cheese, like all kindred cheese,
is hard to produce uniform, unless spe-
cial rooms are provided, and describe
the manufacture just to give an idea
about the principle. Experimenting in
the making does not cost much, as
two or three gallons of milk is all that
is required, and the outfit need hardly
cost anything.-Monrads A B G of

MAKING

Simple folk who pride themselves
upon their gastronomic taste are some
times heard to speak scornfulIy of
American cheeses, but perhaps in nine
cases out of ten they eat and praise as
an excellent example of the foreign
product a cheese that never crossed the
Atlantic.
Camembert and Brie are the only
soft cheeses that are imported in con-
siderable quantity, and even they are
manufactured in the United States.
1t is confessed that the native Ca
membert and Brie are not so good as
the foreign article. but the cheesemak-
ers of New York and New Jersey have
come at length to produce admirable
Roquefort and good limitations, if they
may be so called, of many other fa-
nous foreign cheeses.
The French cheesemakers, with the
conservatism characteristic of rural
Europeans, have neglected to adapt
their products to the American market
The Brie cheese from abroad, for ex-
ample, comes in large disk that puts
it beyond any but those who consume
it In large quantities, whereas the ma
tive Brie is made in small cakes that
may be purchased for family use.
The sale of Gorgonzola cheese, which
is still imported, is much less than it
would otherwise be if made in smaller
parcels.
Only two or three English cheeses are
now imported in large quantities, and
the so called English dairy cheese is a
native product Meanwhile enormous
quantities of American cheeses are ex-
ported to Great Britain.
German and Swiss cheeses are imi-
tated here, though less successfully
than some others.
AS to the italian cheeses they are
made without any pretense of conceal
ment wherever there is considerable
Italian quarter though the limitations
are not liked by the Italians them
selves, and cheap Italian cheeses are
imported in great quantities. Parmesan
Is q great fdrorite with Italians, since
it is cheap and in various ways useful.
