GROWING Tomatoes.

The middle OF May finds most OF
the tomato plants in the garden. The
man who was wise enough to grow
his own plants In hot bed will have
ripe fruit quite long while before his
neighbor, who has to depend upon
half.dried, discouraged seedlings from
a department store.
Stlll, by insisting upon getting the
best plants you can buy. big sturdy
fellows, with lots OF leaves and roots
full of water, you can do very well
with purchased tomato plants. Do
not secure them until you are all
ready to plant and get them in the
ground as soon as possible.
AS usually handled. the amateur
gardener gets a double crop of foliage
and half crop of ripe tomatoes. The
fruit splits, rots at the ends and
large part Of 1t fails to color up and
ripen before frost catches 1t.
The purpose of this article Is to tell
how to avoid these troubles and Sc
cure twice as much ripe, sound fruit
with no more trouble. 1t is a simple
~.
Tomatoes need rich. deep. rather
heavy soil. we'll fertilzed. Muriate
Of potash Is an excellent fertilizer, as
is also steamed ground bone. Use n
handful to each pint.
Spade and cultivate as for garden
crop and drive in strong stakes about
five feet long placing them two feet
by four feet. Set one plant four inches
from the south side Of each stake
covering the roots firmly and soaking
the soil with water after setting.
Allow only three branches to grow
on each plant. and tie them to the
stake with strips of cloth. When they
reach the top Of the stake, prune
them back. II smaller quantity OF
the very finest and largest tomatoes
are preferred. allow but one main
stem to develop. Keep the branch
ends clipped as soon as the plant has
attained good size, and all of its en-.
ergy will then go into making toma.
toes.
Now comes the secret! Where a
side branch leaves the main stem is a
fork In which the fruit develops. In
same place little shoots appear. Pinch
out these shoots as fast as they grow
and you cannot fail to get magnificent
tomatoes. DO not plant one Of the
tree varieties. but select n smooth.
even. meaty type like Matchless,
stone. and many others OF their kind.

Making an Asparagus Bed.

II you have suitable patch of ground
about IL feet long by or s feet wide.
you can grow enough asparagus on it
to supply a large family during the
spring. This does not mean one or
two messes that cost so much they
taste like money, either. 1t means all
you want to eat of one OF the most
delicious and healthful vegetables.
Plant a bed this year and you can cut
an excellent crop next spring. OF
course you could get some this year.
but 1t is safer to let 1t alone for a
year 80 that the plants may get a
good start.
Well drained, mellow. sandy loan is
best for asparagus. 1t must be warm.
rich and we'll drained. Heavy clay
will not do. II your soil is heavy,
your best plan will be to excavate
your bed to a depth Of IS inches and
fill in with loamy soil or mixture Of
loan and sand.
Land that has been used for a gar.
den Is better than fresh soil It must
be spaded as deep as possible, prefer.
ably from IL to IS inches. Make the
soil fine. but not necessarily as fine
as a seed bed. except right around the
roots. Do this the latter part OF
April or the first of May.
Next dig trenches or hills deep
enough to bring the crown OF the
plants eight inches below the surface
Of the ground. Have these rows y
to Is inches apart and set the plants
l2 inches apart in the rows. Cover
them with few inches Of well packed
earth and then put on stable manure
until just the tip of the stalk is visible
Keep the patch hoed and fill the
trenches in as the plant grows until
the whole bed is level DO not put
manure directly about the roots.

the state.
BE sure your match is out before
you throw it away.
2-knock out your pipe ashes or
throw your cigar or cigarette stump
where there is nothing to catch fire.
s3-DOn't build camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
Never leave it even for a short time
without putting it OUT with water
or dirt.
4-Don't build a camp fire against
tree or log. Build \ small one where
you can scrape away the needles,
leaves or grass from all sides Of it.
5-Don't build bonfires. The wind
may come up at any time and start a

W. l. NICHOLS
WAS ACQUITTED

w. l.. Nichols. who was arrested
last Sunday on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons and threatening
to shoot Ronald +. Coyle, was ac-
quilted by jury in Justice of Peace
Readel's court here on Wednesday.
1t seems that trouble has been
brewing for some time between Mich
OILS and Coyle over matters that will
usually arise between neighbOrs who,
it may be said, live in the same yard.
The difficulties came to head on
July 3, when the two men met on the
roadway in front OF the Nichols home
and Nichols drew his gun, as he ex-
planned, in self defense because
Coyle threatened to make him take
back some words.
From the evidence produced the
jury had to ponder for over three
hours to decide whether the gun was
concealed or not and whether or not
the roadway in front of the Nichols
ranch was the property of the ranch
even though it was outside the fence.
Two thirds of the jury finally de-
cided that the gun was partially con-
cealed and that Nichols was OH his
land at the time Of the trouble even
though he was outside his fence, OH
land which he had left for road, but
which has never been dedicated as Il
public highway.
Assistant County Attorney nus-
band, of Harlowton, appeared in be-
half af the state and Attorney Kirk
land defended Mr.. Nichols. J. II.
Lackey. John Conlan, Leo Bulen. IL.
d. Jones, John McCauley and Frank
Arth were the jurors who sat OH the
case.
Considerable evidence was pro-
duced showing that Nichols was i'll
the. habit Of carrying concealed
weapons ut all times, but OH tins oc-
casion the evidence was not conclu-
sive enough to warrant a verdict Of
guilty, 1t goes without saying that
upon the next occasion that William
Nichols has a firearm concealed
about his person of his own land he
will lie taken into custody and will
not fare SO we'll AS he did in this last
escapade.

COAL OUTPUT
IN MONTANA

According to a report of the Geo.
graphical survey the production of
coal in Montana in 1912 amounted to
3,043, ,495 tons, valued at s5,342, 1853.
This Is the first time that the output
OF the state has passed 5000, 600 tons.
The first record of coal productions
III Montana WAS made tIirty.two
years ago, in 1880, when the output
amounted to only 224 tons. Up to
1883 the development had been rather
slow. the output in that year amount
ing to Al .467 tons. 1t rose to 3t3, ,3O1
tons in 1889 and increased rapidly un-
til 1898, when it reached the total of
about 10000 tons. 1t averaged
approximately that quantity each
year until 1904. and has since shown
an increasing tendency, reaching the
maximum OF 3,O4s, ,A05 tons in 1912.
The report says the coal fields of
Montana are widely scattered and
their output ranges in quality from
Ignite to bituminOus coal of fair
grade. Nearly all of the eastern
third or Great Plains section of the
state is nnderlaid by Ignite and low
grade bituminous coal. Toward the
mountainous district the GOALS pass
into high grade sub-bituminOus Goals.
These occur for the most part in
small and much scattered areas. In
the valley region of the western part
OF the state the coal grades again into
Ignite. but unlike those of the east
ern part they are widely scattered
and at pl esent are not OF economic
importance.-I4ewistOwn Daily News.
