How to Grow Tomatoes.

IN HE time to sow tomato seed for early crop
is about 10 weeks before it is safe to set
them out in the open ground. The seed can
be soWn in shallow boxes of rich soil in warm

covered with cloth and transplant the plants from
the box about four inches apart each way in

grown that fits in nicely with stock feeding
as cotton grown in rotation with good feed crops,

Lying Bushels.

David said in his haste all men
were liars. Scales all we the United
States seem to have a very bad habit
of lying. This is an old trick, for
Solomon said "a deCeitful balance is
an abomination." and in the proph-
e"v Of Amos We find: ..Hereare this,
o ye that would swallow up the
needy, and cause the poor Of
the laud to fail, saying, When will
the new moon be gone, that we may
sell grain? and the Sabbath, that we
may ::set fourth wheat, making the
ephah small, and the shekel great,
and dealing falsely with balances Of
deceit. -" And it Ezekiel we find:
"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah. ""Ye
shall have just balances and a just
ephah' "a measure for grain)
The dairy and food commissioner
of the state of Iowa notifies thresher-
men that their bushels must not lie.
One of our subscribers recently
threshed a field OF wheat, which he
did not expect to yield more than
thiry-fve bushels to the acre; but
according to the tire sherman
measurements it yielded forty-one
bushels. In testing it by weight
afterwards, he found that the thresh-
erman's bushel weighed only fity-one
pounds. Inasmuch as the wheat in
his neighborhood has been weighing
about sixty to sixty-three pounds per
bushel, evidently the thresherman's
bushel was lying. Possibly it may
not be his fault, or rather his inten-
ton +; but he should know whether
his bushel is correct or not.
After ascertaining this fact, we have
been wondering whether some Of the
very large yields OF wheat which we
hear-over fifty bushels to the acre.
are not lying bushels. We hope not.

tual pounds, not bushels. From
