The Governor signed the claims and
appropriation bills on Thursday Of lAst

checks out to pay the various amounts

islature, presumably for mileage, but
coming under the head Of expenses at
ending Of the sessions Of the two houses,
ranges from S94 down to less than $40
bill, and it was expected that State
Treasurer Rswlins, who is q close
student Of the affairs of his office and
State, guards every dollar Of State s
money as though it were his own, would
never pay it.
The secretary Estate and other coun-
sci, however, who were called upon by
the governor, failed to find anything in
the Constitution precluding the men,
bers Of the Legislature from submitting
expense accounts and thus putting it
before the Legislature to say what are
the "expenses attending the session Of
the two houses" for which they even
have right to draw direct on the treas
ury.
Since the passage Of this omnibus
claims bill, having in it this allowance
for millage, as it is undoubtedly, and |
was so explained by Senator Sparks in
opposing its passage, there has been
much comment on the matter, but a
unaRimOus opinion that the
legislature where entitled to draw their
mileage. The grsngers, particularly.
who have abhorred the use Of the rail.
,osd pass, are so glad to he rid Of that
hey willingly favor the allowance for
Mileage. In order that the State may
continue to secure her best men Of
hought and busIness-busy men and
lot idlers looking for job-it is argued
hat it is nothing more than just, if !
hey are to be paid bat $500 for nearly
hree months work, that they be
lowed at least their car fare. The {
'gislatOrs have to go through a heated I
ampaign, as nearly all the legislative c
istTicts are close. They have to con.
'ibute to party expenses. They must
rOvide and pay their board at Dover I

that were instituted by Mrs. Sarah
Walls for the recovery of her nineteen
year.Old daughter, Matte Walls, who
since she was years of age has been
with the family Of William G. Sullivan,
of Frederick. As the girl is past legal
age and has the right to choose with
whom she cared to live, Judge Penne-
will had no other alternative but to al
low her to decide. Without any hesita.
tion she elected to live with her foster
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan. The
parting Of the mother and child, each
Of whom had not seen each other for
many years, was affecting. There was
an understanding, however, that the
mother could visit her child whenever
she desired, and that the daughter
could do likewise.

Grangers Discuss Tomato Culture.

3 AT the meeting of Milford Grange
} last Saturday, Charles Sackett finding
: it impossible to be present, the discus.
sion on Tomato Culture" was opened
by Charles Barker.
There is no crop grown on the PEN
insula that has gained so rapidly in
favor. 1t used to be thought they could
not prOfitably be grown for less than
$l20O per ton but they have since been
sold for $500. 1t is to be hoped that
will never happen again.
The earlier the ground is plowed the
better and it should be worked until
very fine. The finer the soil the more
moisture it cOnserves. The seed should
be sown from the fifteenth to the twen-
tieth of April. II sOwn too thick the
plants are spindling but they should
be thick enough to raise the crust and
come through. The best plants are
stoeky and bear transplanting better
than the spindling ones forced too
much. Spray during the growing of
the plants three times with Bordeaux
mixture. This drives away the flea-bug
and prevents blight.
Mr.. Barker prefers a clover sod well
manured. Plow early and work often,
the ground fine as possible, be-
fore the plants are set. On ground so
use commercial fertilizer in the
row. On ordinary land without clover
sod scatter broadcast, per acre, 900
pounds Of bone meal, 800 pounds of
rock, 800 pounds Of fish and 200 pounds
)f muriate Of potash. In the row on
both sorts Of land put 800 pounds of {
'ock and 200 pounds Of muriate Of pot
Ish per acre. Some use nitrate Of soda
broadcast. This has been recommended
y some lecturers on horticulture. It is
letter to set plants when the ground is Il
ry and water the plants, than to trans. D
liant when the ground is wet. Culti- 81
alton plays an important part.
Tomatoes should not be cultivated s.
% deep, particularly towards the last. a.
t the last cultivation make it very 81
lallOw and be sure not to injure the G.
,Ots. Five and six tons to the acre is "
fair yield, seven to eight tons good Tt
nd ten to eleven especially good. The so
Op is not exhausting to the land and Ss
crops are best on tomato
nd. 1t is the best crop in which to
" crimson clover.
Mr.. SeydelI uses one quart of nitrate ~
soda to fifty gallons Of water when ~
and it gives the plants a "a
eat start. When the soil is right the 20
Gather has more to do with size of the
)p than anything else. Rains at bios .o s'9
ming time washes of the pollen and ST- ~
events sets. Beside washing off the 4A'
lien rains cause blight and scald. 1t
