West Virginia soldiers encamped at the
fair Grounds have set an example worthy
OF emulation by tho people Of Richmond.
They gladly have foregone anticipated pleas

hospital. Will Richmond permit such an ex-
ample OF patriotic unselshness to pass un-

have been unpaid by the government, and
temporarily they are without funds. They
must not be without friends. Richmond OF

these returned heroes, but there must be
something more substantial than lip SERVICE

put in few stout stakes. and stretch
two pieces Of wire on these, one six
inches above the ground and another
four feet above the first.
Irvine is strung between the wires,
and upon this the vines are trained.
Barrel hoops, supported by two or
three stakes, also make good support
particularly if the vines are not to be
carefully pruned.
Look out for the large horn, or to-
mato worm, which if left unmolested
will do great deal of harm in few
days. He is chewer and arsenate of
lead will get him, but the best and
quickest way is hand picking. Keep
the plants well supported and thinned,
removing surplus foliage to admit sun
shine and air, thinning fruits that
touch, and spraying with Bordeaux.
This will prevent rotting.
For a supply of tomatoes for can
ming and preserving and after frost,
supply to be kept in the cold-frame or
cellar, late plants should be set out.
One way Of obtaining a crop of these
is to root batch of cuttings now.
Side shoots that are removed and plac-
ed in box of sandy soil in the shade
and kept watered will root in few
days, and these made-to-order plants
may be brought to full bearing before
frost.
Egg plants should be given dress
ing of nitrate of soda at the first hoe
ing, and a dressing of liquid manure
or complete fertilizer at the second.
An abundance of moisture is necessa-
ry, and if irrigation is not available
good plan is to mulch the rows with
short strawy manure, rotted leaves, or
old short straw F. F. Rockwell.
