RcttinC OF Tomatoes.

There has been great deal of
complaint about tomatoes :otting this
yea. 1t is 4 dry, black rot that at
tacls the blossom end about the time
or just before the tomato begins to
get ripe. Some people think it is
caused by too much dampness when
the tomatoes are close to the ground;
or by vines being too thici.. My ex-
Derience is that 1t is dry weather and
hot sunshine that causes them to rot.
instead of the wet weather. When 1
trimmed my tomatoes to a single
stem and tied them up to stakes.
they rotted great deal worse than
they did when let the vines run and
fall down to shade the tomatoes. If
you have noticed. those that come up
volunteer" around the fence where
they are shaded from the sun are gem
orally the first ones to get ripe and
rot the least. So you see it is not
because they a:e shaded shat they
rot.
What caused the tomatoes to rot so
bad this year. think. was on ac-
count of the rot sun ant dry weather
when they first began TO iipen and be-
fore the vines had gotten thick
| enough to shade them. AS soon as
! the rains came and the vines got rank
enough to shade the tomatoes and
s2eo them damp they quit rotting.
Nature knows what is best and mas
given the tomato vine to cover her
fruit from the burning sun. When
We t-y 20 improve on nature by cut
ting away part of the vine to let in
| the sunshine we ruin the fruit IL the
weatha" is hot and dry. And the
vines that are rot trimmed will bear
f-ait Of better flavor. the tomatoes
not being so strong and sour as they
are when tie sun shines directly on
| them.
This IS my experience and we new

Saving Manure.

and this makes excellent bedding.
Liquid manure is available at once.
and the more quickly it is applied

Cotton Seed Meal Fo- Suirc

The supposedly toxic or poisonous
effect OF feeding cotton seed meal to
pigs comes from giving it in too large
amounts. Recent tests in Arkansas
show good results to all ages of pigs
IL the amount is properly regulated
For continuous feeding the following
allowances appear to be within the
danger lint: Pigs under fifty
pounds. ole-quarte- pound per day;
pigs from fifty to seventy-fve pounds,
one-third pound per day; pigs from
seventy-aye to one hundred pounds,
four pounds peT day; pigs rom 100
to $50 pounds, four aad cne-hcll

THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY FROM
NEW YORK TO ATLANTA.
The Route Has Just Been Definitely
Selected.

The Route Has Just Been Definitely
Selected.
After a thorough inspection Of the
various routes between New York
and Atlanta, the route for the Ma
tional Highway" between the two cit
les has been definitely selected. The
first public tour between North and
South has just been held over this
route. During the summer a thirty
horse power steamer made three trips
between New York and Atlanta over
as many different routes. and with
the aid of the data thus obtained the
omcial route has just been marked
out by the path-finding cars-a forty
horse power steamer, using kerosene
as fuel, and a twenty horse power
gasoline car. The steam car started
from New York on September IS and
made record trip southwark, reach
ing Atlanta on September 80. The
gasoline car started northward from
Atlanta, and the two machines met
AT Martinsville, Va, and from that
point proceeded southwark together.
This path-fiIding trip was the first
extensive public road performance of
the White gasoline car, and it made a
splendid showing. keeping quite the
same pace as its larger factory mate
over the mountains of Virginia and
through the sand, mud and fords of
Georgia and the Carolinas. In such
splendid condition was the gasoline
car at the finish of its arduous 11OO-
mile journey that it was sold at a
premium Immediately after its arrival
at Atlanta. The steamer also came in
for its share Of public attention. part
ly because 1t made the trip southwark
faster than it had ever been made be-
lore by a motor car, and partly be-
cause its use of kerosene as fuel was
an innovation in much of the country
through which it passed. The road
directions covering the National High
way were compiled by r. H. Johnston,

homa an automobile ride over the
good roads of New Jersey, New
Hampshire. Rhode Island, Massachu-

show them what sort OF roads they
ought to have in their native States.
The automobile trip started from the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel at Philadel-
phia on Tuesday, September 22, un-
der the auspices OF Frederick Gilky-
son, chairman Of the New Jersey
Highway Commission. Governor Fort

a short address on good roads to the
party at lunch at the Bartlett Inn,

trip ended September 23. and the
party left on the night train for Con-
cord, \. H., where the trip over the
New England roads commenced. The
Governor of New Hampshire accom-

was from Concord to Nashua, Nashua

Providence to New Haven, and con-

says:

In every State the commanding i'm

but just what kind to decide on and
how to go at the work to get the best
results for the least outlay is a prob
