WILT RESISTANT TOMATO SEED
CAN NOW BE SECURED
FOR TRIAL.

The fusan'um wilt disease is now
making it improbable to grow toma-
toes on thousands of acres in Mary
land. Prof. l. b.. S. Norton, of the
Maryland Experiment Station, has Sc
lected and grown now for three gener-
ations strains of Stone and Greater
Baltimore, which so far have been al
most free from this disease when
planted on infected soil. A small
amount of seed of these can be sup
piled this year to any one who will
plant them on wiltinfected soil along
side ordinary seed of the same variety
and measure the yield and healthful-
ness of each.

the narrowing bed during the greater
part of the day. In low shed roof
buildings such as are generally used
for the average farm hog house this is
easily accomplished by leaving the
greater part of the south wall open.
For those who may desire to construct
very large hog houses, the writer
would recommend that they procure a
copy of Farmers Bulletin No. 438 of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Mr.. Warren, the author of the
bulletin, has carefully worked out a
series of tables based on latitude, that
give the correct placing of the win
dows, for securing the greatest amount
of sunlight for all sections of the coun.
try.

SUNSHINE THE BEST TONIC FOR
LITTLE PIGS.
G. L. OPPERMAN.
Ridgely Experiment Station.

Pens which admit an abundance Of
sunshine are direct aid in growing
strong, sturdy pigs. Sunshine seems
to have wonderful influence in pro-
noting health. 1t is Natures best
disinfectant and helps to keep the
quarters dry and warm. 1t is very
essential then that the building be so
constructed that an abundance of its
health-giving rays may flood the floor
and walls. The openings in the south
wall of piggeries shown should be so
arranged that an abundance of sun
shine is supplied during the cold win
ter months. The Important point is
to have the openings and windows
high enough for the sunshine to strike

Various Views Of the Snow.

The farmer calls the snow the poor
mans fertilizer. It keeps the ground
warm and puts prospectively
in his vacant pockets. 1t is much
esteemed by artists, who use almost
every color except white when they
set out to paint it. Their favorite tints
for this purpose are pink, purple and a
slaty blue. 1t seems to be the chief
business of artists to inform us cour-
teously but firmly, that our eyes are
liars.-Exchange

LONG Enough ALREADY.

A rather fussy man travelling from
New York to Philadelphia had been
much annoyed by his opposite COM
panion, tall, lanky fellow whose
bony knees troubled him not a little.
There was stop Of several minutes
at Trenton and the tall traveller rose
from his seat, and said with yawn:

In some communities, the first fac
tor towards making your church a
success may be in getting better roads
radiating out from your church center;
for we all know that people will not
come to church at the seasons of the
year when the roads are impossible,
and If they do get to church, they are
not in a humor to enjoy spiritual
service. So that the man who said
that better means Of travel while on
arth will make better means of travel
hereafter, has certainly said great
truth.

Deserving Grown of Patience.

The crown of patience cannot beere

fering. If thou refusest to suffer, thou
refusest to be crowned; but If thou

without contending there can be no

Where's the Wheels?

Two-year-old Harry had never seen
a live lamb, his only knowledge of
that animal being derived from a toy
one on wheels. While visiting grand
father on the farm, he was taken to
the sheep pen to see the lambs Aft
er looking at them for few minutes,
he looked up at his grandfather with
a puzzled expression, and asked

Workman's Asset.

A workman owes it to himself and
his family to take care of himself.
His labor is his only asset in business.
When injured, he is for the time being
bankrupt. If killed, his family may
be left destitute and his children de-
prived of an education and forced to
seek employment before their matur-
ity. This philosophy is found in bull
letin of the Chicago bureau of safety.

A stopper for bottles that is espe-

of solid rubber cork that goes down

down over and outside the neck,
which it makes water-tight and air.

collar are all in one piece.

Why Paper Affords Warmth.

The value of paper as a protector
from cold is due, of course, to it's being
such a poor conductor of heat, quail

added to layer The best kind, for this
purpose, is fortunately that which is
most abundant-the one kind that
can be had for the asking, or even for
the taking.
