rReLLIs FOR GARDEN CROPS.
Is Easily Constructed and Provides
Ample Support for Plants.

After using bean poles, Stat frames,
another for years; until the supply OF
poles was exhausted and prices for
wooden frames became prohibitive, l
began using a combined wire and
drawing, says a writer in Farming.
This arrangement serves equally as
well for either beans tomatoes, peas,
cucumbers (under glass;, or other
climbing plants, being especially de-
sirable for sweet peas, nasturtiums,
fancy gourds, etc. 1t is desirable, too,
because all of the material used in
its construction, with the exception
of the string, may be used year after
year.
Those who have never trellised up
their tomatoes, either for home use or
for a select market supply, do not
realize what a very considerable gain
in yield and quality is secured by this
method. l do not hesitate to say
that under ordinary conditions / 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
Ii 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
and the "dead-man' or guy post will
need to be. The end posts should be
solid and about nine feet long, so they
may be set two and a half or three

TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA.
Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles Of
Two Illinois GirIs-knother Sis
ter Took Cuticura Pills.

II must give much praise to all the
Cuticura Remedies. I used but one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box OF
Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that
was required to cure nay disease. I
was very much troubled with eczema
of the head, and a friend of mine told
me to use the Cuticura Remedies,
which I did, and am glad to say that
they cured my eczema entirely. Ny
sister was also cured of eczema of the
head by using the Cuticura Remedies.

a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer,

feet in the ground, or even deeper,
depending IN 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 If set in hole lamp firmly, and
plant a dead-man eight or ten feet
from post in line Of row. This may
be a 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 a 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 it
as taut as it can be made. Drive
stakes or strips n by two inches
firmly in the ground along the line
of wire every twenty to thirty feet
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. I prefer some soft
string, such as wool Irvine, which af-
fords the tendril of the plant a 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.

be used. In passing over the wire
the Irvine must be knotted to make It
cling to one place, else the first gust
of wind will blow it into punches and
so make 1t worthless. The knot that

"hang" Of the twist. Pass the Irvine
up over the wire, carry the ball over
the opposite side and down, then up

for its security on the tautnesS Of the
string. The same sort of knot is
made at bottom, except that the move
ment is reversed. Since I have had
considerable trouble caused by the
slipping Of the string as a result Of
careless workmen, l suggest that
enough pains be taken with this part
of the work to insure the permanency
of the Irvine when mi 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.

Care in Feeding.

If the hogs are in a dry pen, start
in by feeding them a little green
clover at once. As o 0 as the corn
is hip high, give them q little of 1t to
eat. 1t may not add a single ounce Of
flesh to their carcasses. but 1t Will

can be fed a great deal of green corn
when it becomes large enough. The

corn is that the change from dry feed
to it is made too quickly. BY start
ing in gradually now with corn and
green clover. this rapid change can be

Soda Water Religion,

Rev. Jos. A. Serena, pastor OF
Syracuse, N. Y, has established a
soda water fountain in the vestibule
of his church to attract people IN
warm weather. Bishop Potter con-
secrated a barroom in New York, or
went through the mockery Of conse-
Grafton, in order to win drinking peo-
ple to- a life of decency. When
churches called Christian use adven-
titious and sensational methods to
draw people to church the inference
is plain that the kind of religion pro
fessed is very poor sort. People
will never get into the kingdom OF
heaven through such circus methods.
The church South as well as North
has to put up with much foolishness'
but it survives all this. The great
est enemies the church has today
wear ministerial robes, or sit on front
pews. This soda water religion may
attract some people, but the spirit
of love, truth and life is wanting: 1t
is about as evanescent and worthless
as the foam on the glass. s.-Carollna

Negro Arrested.

GREENWOOD, July 20.-The negro,
John Suber, who made the savage
attack upon Rev. R. Foster Bradley
at Troy Thursday, was captured this
morning at Clinton by Chief Reed Of
that place. Chief Reed did a splendid
piece of work in capturing the ne
gro. He received a postal card de-

in cell. He brought him to Green
wood shortly after on the Seaboard
southbound vestibule. The negro con-.
fessed the crime to Chief Reed.
Sheriff Mcmillan, not knowing that
Suber had confessed, had a son OF
Mr.. Bradley to identify Suber.
The young man says his father IS
doing as well as could be expected,
but that he gets very little rest.

the negro drinking water at pump

he noticed the bow legs and he felt

Negro Girl Assaulted.

BATEsBURG, July 23.-Two ne
groes, John Jay and Smith, were ar;
rested here this afternoon charged
with criminally assaulting an ll-year-
old negro girl, an adopted daughter
of Jim Wright, colored. 1t seems
that the assault was committed some
days since. The child for the last few
days has been in a serious condition
and it was not until her foster mother
had made an examination that sne
found out what was the matter with
the child. After questioning her she
admitted or told her foster mother
that John Jay and Smith was IN the
room and one of them had accom-
plished his Infamous purpose.

over the affair.
