new METHOD OF
TOMATO CULTURE
Entire Strength Of Plant Gen.
tered in Few Fruit Clusters
by Good Pruning
Ry NJ. n. EDGERTONO

The new method of tomato culture
consists in combining the growth of
the plants to a single stalk or vine,
these being trained to stakes.
Pruning should begin as soon as
branches begin to appear, growth be-
ing confined to the main stalk.
In this way, instead of dissipating a
large share of its strength in an eff
fort toward vine growth the entire
strength of the plant is conferred in a
few fruit clusters.
Under ordinary culture, that is,
where plants are allowed to branch
at will, the first cluster of blossoms

Newspaper Reporters Ought to Civ,

spohsible for Brutal Crimes.

In New York city recently a man
murdered his twelve.yearold daugh.
ter and wounded his wife. We quote
from his confession as printed In the
Evening Malls account Of the
tragedy:

to make sure who was there. ."
We wish we could bring about a
state where no newspaper or report
err in case Ike this, would consider
his story complete until he had found
| out the brand of whisky that the
murderer drank, and got the name
and photograph OF the maker Of II.

plotting human weakness.-Collier's

We agree with Golfers that the
reporter should in such cases tell
the brand Of whisky which caused the
crime, and give the name and photo
graph of its maker. But the story is
not complete even then. Let it be
told who 1t is that makes possible
the liquor manufacturer and the
liquor seller: who it is that says to
the whisky-maker Go ahead-you

A white opium user may start by
taking laudanum as medicine. AS the
habit grows on him he increases the
dose until at last he can swallow it
as drink.
Under it's influence not only is pain
deadened, but a sense of intense in
terest is awakened in him. Every
concern in his life is displaced for
the time by that interest.
A crowd of thoughts arrive, bring
ing a succession of splendid ideas,
and up he ascends, as if to take
seat on cloud where he can serene
ly look down on this poor mundane
sphere, feeling himself quite above
it's fussy littleness.
. After the effect has passed off it
is succeeded by a sense of horrible
vacancy, which causes restlessness
that nothing can relieve but more
laudanum, or by opium itself, in the
form of pills, instead of its laudanum
extract.
Does this baleful agent injure his
body? Not. much. Nor does it per-
ceptibly injure the mind, for many
of these poor creatures can talk
beautifully and write elegantly. But
in them the. Will can no longer rule.
That is why the man is ruined. The
drug has dethroned his will; and
when the wills falls everything good
in the man goes down with it.

The owners of the ships are doing

officers often connive with the sailors
and get their percentage for helping.
And government employees earning

It's a pretty lucrative business, too.
The Chinese sailor pays about SO for
tin box of "hop" weighing third
of pound. He pays SIS more to get
it smuggled over from China. In the
United States he may sell it for any
sum from $25 to $50.
The government has had much
trouble, too, in trying to prevent
opium smuggling across the north
ern and southern borders. From
Mexico the stuff reached Laredo, Ell
Paso and Calexico by trains, auto
mobiles and runners. Once it gets
aboard Pullman car, it is especially
den by Pullman porters, who know
many secret places for keeping it.
On our northern border we have
been more successful. The Canadian
authorities are cooperating with us,
as the Mexican officials will not do,
and are also keeping close watch on
ports. The Japanese lines of steam
ers are also fighting it.
Conditions have improved much
from the days when sailors used to
throw the opium overheard, attached
to floats, as the ships came in, and
leave it for their confederates to pick
up. The government cutters and
launches put an end to that practice.
But there is still need of great vigil
ance and of new laws to do away
with the present loopholes.

VIII Hold Waterglass

Waterglass or Sodium Silicate
Frequently the albumen of water
glass preserved eggs is less viscid
and occasionally slightly pink in ap-
pearance. These abnormalities are
thought to be due to free alkali con-
tained in some of the poorer pre-
parations of waterglass sold on the

mately one part of sodium oxide to

Strength of Solution
The proportion OF waterglass to
water required for preserving eggs
Varies. Some have successfully pre-
served eggs in proportions of one
part of waterglass to 20 parts OF
water; others have used more con-
centrated solutions. The proportion
to be used will depend largely upon
the length of time desired to keep
them preserved. For the shorter
periods perhaps the weaker solutions

Vegetables for Relish

In the absence of oil meal a small
amount OF vegetable substances usu-
ally will be eaten with a relish. For
this purpose mangels answer very
we'll and sugar beets answer still bet
ter; pumpkins are good and squash
with soft rind are still better. Such
vegetable food gives variety and acts
as an appetizer, but it is not neces-
sary to feed it in large quantities.
The swine should be fed all they
will consume. 1t is a mistake to feed
them so that food is left uncon-
sumed in the trough. Such feeding
would have a clogging effect upon
the appetite and this would be preju-
dicial to the fattening process. Care
should also be taken to keep the
swine amply supplied with pure
water. The am cunt of this called for
will depend upon the consistency of
the slop that is fed, and in some de-
gree on the character of the weather.
Care should be taken to watch the
relative gains made. The farmer can
do this accurately if furnished with
scales, when the increase falls below
a certain point fattening will be un-
profitable. 1t will certainly reach
this point if long continued, and in
the absence of scales it may not be
possible to tell exactly when it is
reached. When increase slackens the
cost of increase in weight runs up
proportionately 1t may soon reach
point where the cost of production
will not nearly equal the value of the
food fed.
