TO TIGHTEN WAGON sPOKEs
When Tire Becomes Loose It Is Al
ways Easy to Find Stick for
Lever and Piece Of Leather.

Various methods Of tightening
wagon spokes have been used, but
possibly the one described herewith
is the quickest If not the best. II
one is on the road and has no tools
at hand and a tire comes off or is
loose 1t is always easy to find small
stick for n lever and a piece of
leather can be cut from part of the
harness.
A small stick is placed against the
hub for fulcrum and n second stick
is used for lever. The felloe is
raised up off the spoke and small
piece of leather placed around the
lennon and the felloe allowed to again
drop back in place.
This Is repeated until the wheel is
tight. Wheels should be treated to a
bath of hot oil twice or three times
a year and they will last much longer.

ening the field to which the tomato is
adapted, varieties present other i'm
portant differences manifested chiefly
in the fruit.
Early ripening sorts are frequently
irregular in shape. have comparatively
thin walls. large seed cavities and
numerous seeds. The fruit is apt to
color and ripen unevently, remaining
green around the stem. or to contain
hard, green core. Later-ripening
sorts, while not all superior to the
others. have as a rule thicker and
frmer walls, smaller seed cavities and
few seeds.
Owing to the fact that in canned
tomatoes it is difficult for the average
consumer to note any deficiencies in
the appearance of the original fruit,
many labor under the delusion that
any variety will answer for this pur-
pose. This is a mistaken idea, as
quality in canned goods is now an i'm.
portant factor. and 1t is quite as neces-
sary that a good quality of product
should be used for canning as for
growing for the early or general mar
ket, although from the field side 1t is
natural that tonnage should be the
primary consideration.
In the matter of varieties, too much
dependence should not be placed upon
the name or upon the fact that a
neighboring farmer secures good re.
suits from given variety. There are
SO many variations in the character of
soils. even in the same locality, which
exert an influence upon the size and
quality of crops that the best variety
Is usually one that is, in part at least
developed by the individual grower
The main point is to select varieties
that produce large, smooth, solid
fruits, with thick walls. small seed
cavities and few seeds.

CULTURE OF TOMATOES
Each of Numerous Varieties Has
Some Point of Merit.
Demands Of Market and Soil and clI-
matIc Conditions vary-cultlvator
Enabled to Select Sorts for
Special Purposes.

There are large number of sorts
of tomatoes. each one possessing some
points of merit or difference which
distinguish it from all others. These
differences enable the intelligent culti-
vator to select sorts for special pur-
poses, as well as for special soils and
climates. The varying demands of the
markets and the different soil and eli
matte conditions presented in the vari-
Gus sections where the tomato is
grown can only be satisfied by q vari-

tions. 1t is fortunate that domesti-
Gated plants present SO many different
forms, otherwise the cultivation of
many crops would be restricted to a
few favored localities Besides broad

To Wash Feather pillows.

It is possible to wash pillows with
out removing the feathers. Boil in
borax water, to which small guam
tity of ammonia has been added. Use
half teacupful of borax to a boiler
full OF water and add teaspoonful Of
ammonia. Boil 15 or 20 minutes.
After removing pillows from the boil
or, scrub the tick, II badly stained,
by laying on washing board and ap-
plying suds with a stiff brush. Rinse
in two or three waters and hang out
on the line in a shady place to dry.
Shake pillow and change ends two or
three times a day. Bring pillows into
the house before dew falls or it rains,
as It takes long time to dry pillows
at best. This process makes the
feathers light, fiaky and sweet smell

It Is greatly to the credit of Mary
that in the midst of all this adulation
and worship. she remained the modest,
simple girl she had been when OBJ
scure. At the age of twenty-three she
was unspoiled, although the most cell

the earl Of Hopetoun, and nova mem

Now, in order to do Justice to this
story. 1t would be necessary to write
a book Of normal size; and 1t would
make such an interesting book that
somebody ought to write It, In such
brief sketch as this, 1t is only pos

and SO the narrative loses those ele-
ments Of romance which have made 1t
an immortal folk tale in England.
The glittering stranger was accept
ed at his own valuation by the people
of the lake country, with few excep-
tions. Among the exceptions were
Coleridge and Wordsworth, who sized
him up as a faker and shook their
wise old heads gloomily whenever he
was mentioned. Hope explained that
he was taking a little vacation, and
travelling without servants because he
wanted to lead the simple life while.
He made friends everywhere. Two of
those friends were Mr.. Crump and
Colonel Moore. The latter was guar
dian to an Irish heiress, and was
greatly pleased when he observed that
the distinguished Hope was falling in
love with her. Such a match was to

In the year 1892 a wandering poet
blew into the celebrated lake district
of England. and put up at a humble
hostelry. When he called for fiagon
of brown October ale, 1t was brought
to him by Mary Robinson, the daugh-
ter Of the host; and Mary was beau
tiful creature of fifteen years. Her
form was slender and graceful, her
hair brown, waving and abundant. and
her complexion perfect. The poet was
so enchanted that he forgot to drink
his ale. He just sat there and ques-
toned her. and marked her cleaning
white teeth, and her shining brown
eyes, and made up his mind that there
was nothing to compare with her in
England.
When he returned to the demnition
grind in London, he wrote a piece for
the Gentleman's Magazine, describing
his great find. At that time shepherd
esses and rustic maids were popular
with poets, and with the myriads who
tried to be poets. and the magazine
article stirred up great interest in
Mary of Buttermere. Most of the
bards headed for the lakes the next
summer. when they took their vaca.

lived up to the specifications in every

thing went on. and Mary became the

ALL VOTERS IN CITY
MUST RE-REGISTER
FOR STATE PRIMARY
RECORDS AT OFFICE OF REG
IsTRATTON OFFICER SHOW
LARGE NUMBER WHO HAVE
NOT QUALIFIED.

Voters residing in the city Of PEN
sacola, or large number of them,
do not seem to appreciate the fact
that they must re-register to take
part in the state and county election,
for the records in the office of the
supervisor of registration develop the
fact that very large number of good
voters have not thus far looked after
this very important and necessary
duty.
The law requires that all voters
must re-register who reside and have
their voting place in cities of 10000
or more people. This makes it COM
pulsory that every voter in the city
Of Pensacola must re-register, and
an examination of the books of every
precinct in the city shows that men
who ought to know better have thus
far neglected to qualify for the COM
ing primary.
Voters have until the first day Of
May to re-register, and for the state
and county primary have until the
second Saturday in May to pay poll
taxes, but to qualify voters for the
city primary, which takes place on
June IL, all poll taxes must be paid
not later than Saturday, April 1.
There was some surprise occasioned
during the past few days when it was
learned that so many voters had not
re-registered, thus conforming to the
law which requires such duty. An eff
fort will be made during the next
few days to interest a good many who
have thus far not re-registered.
