and staple both top and bottom wires
to them. These serve to support the
weight Of crop and hold the trellis
against winds.
Just before the vines are ready for
the first tying put on the string, or
trellis proper. l prefer some soft
string, such as wool twine, which af.
fords the tendril of the plant q firm
hold beside being cheap. The distance
that these strings are spaced apart at
top and bottom will depend on the
crop to be trellised; ten to twelve
inches for beans. when plated in
drills and Is to 20 inches for toma-
toes, for which heavier twine should
be used. In passing over the wire
the twine must be knotted to make It
cling to one place, else the first gust
of wind will blow 1t into punches and
SO make 1t worthless. The knot that
l use is simple, after one gets the
hang" of the twist. Pass the twine
up over the wire, carry the ball over
the opposite side and down, then up
and over both the wire and the string
the loop left large enough for the pur.
pose and draw taut. when yiu will
have a simple crossed knot on top,
not under the wire, that will depend
for its security on the tlutness OF the
string. The same sort of knot Is
made at bottom, except that the move
ment is reversed Since / have had
considerable trouble caused by the
slipping of the string as result Of
careless workmen, l suggest that
enough pains be taken with this part
of the work to insure the permanency
of the twine when once placed. II you
will try one Of these easily made trel-
Uses you will find that the satisfac.
ton and ease with which you are able
to gather the crop will more than pay
for the trouble and slight expense In
putting it up.

flesh to their carcasses. but II will

Of the string, may be used year after

Those who have never trellised up
their tomatoes, either for home use or
for a select market supply, do not
realize what very considerable gain
in yield and quality is secured by this
method. ! do not hesitate to say
that under ordinary conditions l have
been able to more than double the
yield, and In some cases triple the
marketable product. over the bush
method, to say nothing of the in
crease in quality, which invariably Sc
cures for the grower the top OF the
market, It being possible to secure an
earlier and more even ripening and
greater uniformity in the size Of
the fruit; all of which are desirable
factors in gardening for profit. In
tying up, many of the bloomless lat
erals may be cut out, giving the main
vine more strength and allowing the
sun reader access to the fruit to hast.
en- ripening Trellised fruit is always
bright and clean, and almost exempt
from blight and rot. In planting to-
matoes for trellising the plants are
set at less than half the distance usual
when grown in the ordinary way.
This trellis may be made to cover
almost any length Of row; the longer
the run" the stronger the end posts
need to be. The end posts should be
solid and about nine feet long, so they
may be set two and half or three
feet In the ground. or even deeper,
depending on length OF row, with at
least six feet above ground-this
height applies especially to the tall
growing lima and string beans. 1t is
best to sharpen and drive the post,
but II set in hole tamp firmly, and
plant dead.man eight or ten feet
from post in line of row. This may
be large stone or chunk of wood,
buried deep enough to hold the
strain. The dead-man and top post
are connected by two doubled strands
Of heavy wire, that may be twisted
with stick In the center totake up
any slack remaining after wires are
stretched and remedy any sag from
strain after vines grow heavy.
Stretch the bottom wires first, ten
to IA inches from the ground, and Sc
curely fasten. Next stretch the top
wire five and a half to six feet from
ground. taking extra care to have IL
as taut as 1t can be made. Drive
stakes or strips one by two inches
firmly In the ground along the line
of wire every twenty to thirty feet
