1t was one OF the great crowds of
Carlow's history. Since noon an al
most unintermttent procession Of pc
destrians and vehicles had been making
its way to the station, and every way
on, blackboard, buggy and "cut undel'
had its flags or bunting or streamer Of
ribbons tied to the whip. The excite
ment increa sod az the time grow shory-
er Everybody was struggling for n
better position. The people in wagons
and carriages stood upon the seats and
the pedestrians besiegcd them, climbing
on the wheels or balancing reckleSsly
with feet on the hubs of opposite Wag-
0ns. Everybody was bound TO see him.
When the whistle announced the com
ing OF the train the band began to play,
the cannon fired horns blew and the
cheering echoed and re-echoed till heav-
ems vault resounded with the noise
ahe people of Carlow We're making.
There was one heart that almost
stopped beating. Helen was standing
on the front seat of the Briscoe buck
board, with Minnie beside her. and al

politics when it is red must steel his
eyes to zee many a man with the heart
burn. After the men of Amo came the
HAIRLESS club of Gainesville, Mr..
Bencc In the van with the step Of q
grenadicr. There followed next Mr.
Ephraim Watts. bearing a light wand
in his hand and leading a detachmens
of workers from the oil field in THEFT
stained blue Overalls and blouscs. and
after them came Mr.. Martin and Mr.
Lands at the head of an organization
recognized in the "order of procession
printed ia the Herald as 1.-The business
men Of Plaitville.' The band played in
such magnificent time that every high
stepping foot iu all the line came down
with the same jubilant PUNK and lift
cd again with Il unanimity as complete
as that of the last vote the convention
had taken chat day. The leaders of the
procession set brisk pace, and who
could have set any other kind of a pace
when on parade to the strains of such
band playing such tune as "a New
Coon In rowu' with all its might and
main?
But as the line swung into the square
there came a moment when the tune
was ended and the musicians paused
for breath ard there fell comparative
quiet Among the ranks of the "busi
ness men, amblod Mr.. Wilkerson, sing
Ing at the top of his voice and now be

those near him to distinguish the nc!

The words. the air that husky voice,
recalled TO the men of Carlow another
day and another procession not like this
one And the song Wilkerson was
singing is the one song every northern
born American knows and can sing.
The leader OF the band caught the
sound. gisnaled to his mon, twenty in.
strumcnts rose as one to twenty
mouths, the snare drum ratified, the big
drum crashed, the leader threw his
baton high over his head. and music
burst from twenty brazen throats:

Tomato Growing.

tomato growing is popular with
gardeners, but to grow this kind Of
fruit to perfection requires more skill
than we generally suppose. Soils for
tomatoes should be light and rich
and should have good drainage. The
tomato, especially in the more north
ern part Of the United States. needs to
be pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible, so that the growers may get the
benefit Of the crop before frost comes.
On most Of our northern farms during
the past two years there has been
much complaint Of tomatoes not rip
ening. II is evident that II the plants
are grown on land that is cold, on ac-
count Of texture or lack Of drainage,
there viii be trouble of this nature.
The best time to transplant toma-
toes is when they are six inches high.
II they are left in the hot beds till
thoy have attained a height OF two
feet or more they do not bear trans
planting well. and growth is checked
to an extent that seems to render
void the start that had been made by
growing them in a hot bed. In fact,
when such plants are set out 1t is not
unusual to see volunteer plants that
grew In the open soil bear fruit as
soon as they, though the hot bed
plants had blossoms on them at time
Of setting out.
Generally tomato plants are set
about four feet apa-s each way and
permitted to lie on the ground. When
the plantation is small and consider.
able attention can 20 given to each
plant, a good way 70 do is to plant
them about three feet apart each way
and train the plants to single stems,
tying these stems to stakes. This lets
in the sun. and the tomatoes should
ripen more fully and be of better fav-
or than when allowed to ripen on the
ground under the shade of the thick
leaves.
II il is desired to avoid the trouble
Of hoeing out the weeds every few
days, old straw or other like material
even grass from the lawn, may be
placed around the vines. This also
acts as a mulch and keeps the moist
ure In the ground for the use of the
plants. This mulch will have to be
added to from time to time, as the
weeds will make desperate effort to
push up through it. In the care Of
green grass being used for a mulch
this will be particularly so. as the
grass decays very quickly. On the
whole, however. the use OF the mulch
saves a great deal Of labor and is
therefore very satisfactory. Besides
1t allows the gardener to walk among
the vines even after a heavy rain.

Potato FertIIIzer.

Most Of our farmers in the West are
not in the habit of using any kind OF
fertilizer for their potato field except
such as is made on the farm. Yet
more and more commercial fertilizers
are coming to be used. 1t is. there
fore. advisable 10 consider a few
points on the requirements Of potatoes
as TO fertilizers. The potato crop runs
all the way from nothing to 500 bush
els per acre, though the latter figure
Is very unusual. II Is assumed that
a crop Of 800 bushels Is about as large
one as we can hope to raise per
acre. A crop Of that magnitude will
remove from the soil about 55 pounds
OF nitrogen. 25 pounds of phosphoric
acid and IS pounds of potash. It is
certain that the potato does best in a
soil well supplied with all kinds Of
plant food. II we try to put back only
the amount Of plant food the potato is
likely to yield we will be unable to
place all Of it where the roots of the
plants will get It.: for the reason that
all Of the ground may not be fed over
by the plants and there is also much
fertility locked up in the clods that
exist on every clayey SOIL Then, too,
the weeds that get good start Of the
crop. when they are allowed to do SO,
take up much Of the available plant
food and lock it up in their own leaves
and stems. OF course II gets back in
to the soil when the weeds decay. but
that is months after the fertility has
been taken out Of a condition where
il may be reached by the roots Of
the potato plants. II Is therefore nee.
essary to have much more plant food
within reach than can be figured upon
to enter into the formation Of the
crop.
Potatoes need much nitrogen in the
first part Of the season when the zines
are making rapid growth. Unless we
have large amount Of foliage we can
not hope to have good-sized tubers:
for the material that is to form the
tubers must be elaborated in the
leaves and stems of the plants them
selves. Not only must there be much
nitrogen in the soil. but it must be in
a water soluble form. Plants do not
eat they drink. and they can drink in
the nitrogen only when 1t is soluble.
After the leaves and the stems have
made their growth the demand is for
phosphoric acid and potash. The
farmer that does not know the an
alysis Of his soils but feels that he
needs to put on some commercial fer
tilizer should select one that carries
about 3 per cent OF nitrogen, 5 per
cent Of phosphoric acid and 4 per cent
OF potash. It has been found that the
potato does best with an abundant
supply Of phosphoric acid even Tar n
excess Of the amount removed by the
crop,
