ground and use plenty Of fertilizer.
Pillow or spade deep and when ready
to set out the plants mark on in rows
two feet one way and four feet the
other After the ground is marked
of, set stakes or small poles not less
than five feet high for each plant
In choosing the plants do not Sc
lect tree tomatoes, as they are not
prolific. but pick out some good,
smooth, meaty variety. Set the plant
on the south side of the stake. about
four inches from it, and train same
to stake as it grows. tying with binder
twine or cloth strings, which are pre-
ferable. Many times when the vines
are very rank two branches will start
to grow from the top, but clip one on
allowing only one to grow to a
height of FIVE feet, then clip the tops,
and keep them clipped, which will
hasten the ripening, and convert all
the strength of the vine into fruit.
When the plants are eight or 10
inches high. little runners or shoots
will appear in the forks. Here is
where the whole secret lies. These
runners sap the main vine and turn
all the strength into vines instead of
tomatoes. When they appear pinch
them of and allow only one main vine
to grow. The fruit buds or blossoms
will also appear in the same fork, but
DC not disturb them. Keep clipping
out the runners every time you find
any or when you cultivate them The
fruit will be nice, early. clean. handy
to pick, and as shown by the picture,
great improvement over the old
way.

KNELL OF OLD STYLE PAII
Farmers Who Apply Intelligence and
Scientific Methods to Their Ven
lures Prove Merit.

A wonderful system Of ventilation
has been devised for diaries, and its
general adoption by all farmers who
apply intelligence and scientific meth
DDS to their ventures proves its merit.
But pure air alone is not SUFFICIENT for
the COW barn. No dust must be per-
mitted to accumulate, the barns
should be kept in perfect sanitary
form, and the animal must be subject
ed to frequent cleaning operations.
Scientists have sounded the knell Of
the old-fashioned milk pail with it's
faring edges. The small-topped pail
Is in favor. 1t offers less Of an open
Ing for bacteria that may fall into the
milk during the process of milking.
Some bacteria Invariably are found
In milk. The laboratory shows, how
ever, that these germs are beneficial
rather than injurious to the human
consumers. But the presence Of bac-
terra directly traceable to filth and In
sanitary conditions is at once q source
Of danger and a signal for medical
warfare on the undesirable dairy.

Of the most progresafve dairymen.

A professional gentleman, who
was accustomed to taking his
morning glass, stepped into a sa-
loon, and going up to the bar called
for whiskey. A seedy individual
stepped up to him and said: 81
say, squire, can't you ask an IN
fortunate fellow to join you?" He
was annoyed by the mans farni-
liarity and roughly told him: 81
am not in the habit of drinking
with tramps."
The tramp replied: "You need
not be SO cranky and highminded,
my friend. / venture to say that
| am of just as good a family as
you are, have just as good an edu-
cation, and before / took to drink
was just as respectable as you are.
What is more, / always knew how
to act the gentleman. Take my
word for it, you stick to John
Barleycorn and he will bring you
to just the same place l am"
Stuck with his words, the gen.
tleman set down his glass and
turned to look at him. His eyes
were bloodshot, his face bloated,
his boots mismated, his clothing
filthy. "Then it was drinking
that made you like this?'
Eyes, it was, and it will bring
yon to the same if you stick to it. y
Picking up his untouched glass,
he poured the contents upon the
floor and said: "Then it's time

Grand Jury Report.
CoIfax. La, June IA, 1872.

d;c;aI District Court IN and for the
Parish of Grant, Louisiana:
We your grand jurors selected
for the June term of district court
for Grant parish, beg leave to sub
nit herewith our final report.
Since we filed our second partial
r.port we have concluded our la
bors.
We beg to advise that we have
examined in total 103 cases, find
ing So true bills, aud 4S no true
bills. Having previously reported
35 true bills and 80 no true bills,
We present herewith 20 true bills
an,l Is no true bills, a list OF which
we herewith attach.
We have carried over a list OF
"a no action cases, which we leav'
il, the hands Of the District Attnr-
hey. For the want of sufficient
testimony to dispose of these cases
we have been unable 10 pass OIL
the same, and hence they are car
red over for further action of the
grand jury.
We beg TO advise that we have
examined the parish Jail and prem
iscs adjacent thereto, and find that
the same is very unsanitary aud III
kept. That there is stored around
and scattered in the Jail yard va
rious old plumber, blankets, cans,
etc, which should be removed, and
We recommend that the same be-
removed and the Jail cleaned up
and put in sanitary condition.
We have examined the treasu-
rpr's books and find the same well
kept and correct; as we'll rs the
sheriff's Office and the accounts of
the tax collector, finding that all
taxes due have been promptly and
correctly accounted for.
We have diligently inquired in
Ia the public road system and the
condition of the roads in general.
The country roads need much at
tention, especially the rural roads
leading into the model roads. and
recommend that the police jury
give close attention to the country
roads that are not adjacent to the
recently constructed roads, and to
provide for the maintenance OF
these roads, as they have not been
worked for practically over twelve
months.
We have learned that parties
have trespassed on the public
roads by cutting timber promiscu-
onsly into the bitches and turn
outs along the model road, aud we
recommend that the matter be
further investigated and action
stopped. At this time we have
not been able to give the matter
thorough investigation.
We find the crimes of the par
ish mostly confined to misdemean-
ors, and that there has been no Sc
rious amount of felonies within
the past few months.
We call the attention of the
court to the number of cases re-
turned for violation of the prohi-
bition. law, and recommend that
the fLH limit of the law be given
to the violaters of this Law.
We find that the court house is,
fast deteriorating, and is in need
OF a Janltor, or some attention from
some source. Cob webs, dirt and
other accumulations are gathering
In the walls and should be cleaned
up and repaired.
We beg to thank the court for
the courtesies extended during
our labors and for the prompt SER
vice rendered by the officers of
the court.
