Ralph Heller Seeks
 Long Lost Brother

Ralph Heller is looking for his brother. He is full of hope that he will find him sooner or later, although it has been 20 long years since he left home
 "I often wonder if he is as anxious to see me as I am to see him. he said "If he were, we would get together pretty quick MT. Heller speaks with a slight German accent, as he is a native of that country, and though he has been In this country for Il years without seeing his brother, who left the little home in the ''old country 20 years ago, he is hoping for the best
 He must be 30 years old by now" he continued, and went on to say that he was last heard of in 1908 at Elberton Ga and that he must be still in the south. He goes under the name of Sam uel Fine.
 MT. Heller will appreciate any infor- nation that may lead to the location of his brother.

TOMATO GROWERS HAVE BIG
 CONTEST IN BIRMINGHAM

Then found lady who had grown on one vine 57 fruits, many of them as big as 8 quart measure. l began to feel smaller.
 Then I got talking to MT. Rothpletz the bookbinder in the Potter building, who puts in some of his early hours in his garden on the South Highlands, and he told me he had done well with the Pom derosa tomato, that many dozens of his weighed IS to 19 pounds to the dozen, that one dozen weighed 2S pounds and another dozen 271a pounds.
 After that quit bragging and "quied up," fearing if I pursued my inquiries would either find still larger toma- toes, or lose my faith in my fellow man. But Birmingham is great city. and we have demonstrated that there can be
 grown in the back yards on the South Highlands as fine tomatoes as can be grown anywhere in the world, so far as have investigated. Out of our crop we saved a lot of seed and Mrs. Hard sent to the introducer of the variety we plant for some extra fine seeds, so now her hot bed is full of plants and we probably have more than we have ground to put them in, but if the star tomato growers
 of the district do not get up early and keep a-going we are going to capture that S5 prize offered by Mayor Ward for the finest tomato grown in private
 garden in Birmingham.
 MT. Rothpletz has an excellent way of starting his plants; he puts the seed in a little paper box like an ice cream or oyster carrier, then when he gets ready
 to set them in the garden, they are not disturbed by the moving, and they start right off growing. The plants do not wilt, and the cutworms will not go through the paper to get to the stem, and the loss from that pest is reduced to the minimum.
 There are many methods of culture; some prune and pinch back the offshoots, which is said to produce larger fruits;
 others do not, holding that the leaves are the lungs of the plant, and that un- less they are well developed the body suf- fers. Some of the most successful grow CTS simply prepare the soil we'll give plenty of fertilizer, firm supports and plenty of water, and get quantities of fruit of good size. Circumstances must govern to great extent, space and loca- tion must be considered, but there is not residence in the Birmingham district which has not sufficient space for few plants, which with ordinary care (for na- ture' is very, generous) will produce enough to amply justify the time and trouble spent in getting results Try the experiment and get the pleasure Yours truly, JAMES H. HARD

Hints to the Housewife

thC AAOhOCNAAO
 q am a reader of the Corner and think it fine to help people, if they don't ask for too much. For stains on porcelain sink rub fine sandpaper on the stain. Have the sink dry before using Che sandpaper. J. F."
 q wish to tell T. H. that sine can make biscuits without soda I, too, de- test soda in bread and have ceased to use it. l use a level teaspoon of bak- ing powder, the same of salt to scant teacup of sour milk; lard the size of a walnut. As there is differ ence in flour and baking powder, she may have to experiment, as have had to, to get it just right. I have been never made good bread in all that time until left out soda. l get lot of comfort out of the Corner
 ~E B. H."
 I bracket these two helps to the housewife with grateful ackncw1- edgment of both. I wish more of our practical cooks and housemothers would contribute these nuggets of wisdom learned in the hard school of experience. Tell us how you overcame this or that difficulty in acquiring the worthy profession of housewifery. A word of encouragement here and warning there may be a veritable lift to sister in the trade over pebble or rift or quagmire. We cannot have too many of the right sort

 Lemon Pie
 Here is a recipe I cut from your Cor ner some years ago and it has proved what we like. I am selfish enough to want to have a new clipping in my per sonal cookbook. as the one I copy from is yellowed with age and altogether nasty to look at. It is signed Grace K. M H. who calls it My Lemon Pie Recipe. One medium sized potato, grated and put on to cook with one cup of boiling water Beat yolks of two eggs with three-quarters of cup of sugar, stir into the grated potato; add the Bake in q good crust and when done cover with the whipped white and return to the oven for few minutes to brown.

 Corn Bread
 Here is recipe for corn bread made of northern meal: Two cups of corn meal, one cup of flour two and one half cups of milk three eggs a table, spoon each of butter and white sugar, one teaspjoon of salt, two teaspoons of baking powder. Melt the butter and stir it into the eggs, which should have been beaten light, and after sitting the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder with the meal, put in the milk, eggs and butter. Beat hard and bake for half an hour in a greased pan and in a steady oven. Will some of your many housewives send in recipes where sour milk and cream may be used? One seldom reads them in cookbooks or papers, and I often have sour milk and cream to use It may be certain proportion may be used al- ways, of which I am ignorant. I am an admirer of the Corner and read it daily.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 About two years ago, friend on Elev- enth avenue, south, sent Mrs. Hard, who has always been interested in things ag- ricultural and horticultural, very fine tomato. which so impressed her that she saved the seed, which she planted, and as seeds have a way of doing for her, they came up; the plants grew, 1S of them, until the hail and cutworms disposed of 90 per cent of the crop. The remaining nine flourished under her care, grew to be nearly six feet high and produced some fine fruits which were particularly noticeable because of the fact that they were of a late maturing variety and rip- ened after most of the earlier kinds had disappeared.
 They attracted a good deal of attention and we were rather proud of the product, so wanted to show off little. To do that we exhibited them in one of the store windows and showed them to many of our acquaintances, among them some os the truckers around Five Points. / The latter did not enthuse quite as much as we thought they should, saying they were mighty fine, but they were too big
 
 buy tomatoes by the dozen and as these were so large 8 couple of them would go as far as a dozen ordinary ones, and yet people were not willing to pay any more per dozen for them than they would for the smaller ones. Still, sev- eral wanted to know where they could get seeds or plants this year.
 We grew a number which weighed one to one and a quarter pounds, five which weighed seven pounds, and three on one stem which weighed four and a half pounds; they were rich in color, of delicious flavor, solid in texture. and had very few seeds. Some were five inches in diameter, and we thought we were the top of the heap of tomato growers that is, we thought so until in my brag- ging I ran across some others
 Among them was T. B. Russell of One onta, who said he had grown a quantity of tomatoes of the variety known as the Enormous, introduced by Maule, the seedman of Philadelphia. That many of his weighed over a pound apiece, and that they were very prolific, That he did not prune the vines orspinch back the shoots, but just furnished the plants with plenty of water and the vines with good supports and let nature do the rest He said that Judge Carmichael said that they were the finest he had ever seen or eaten
