Garden Tomatoes Can Be Staked
ProfltabIy.

4OlAoLO B1O"C1S1 luCIuOluS
farmers, commercial growers and
back yard gardners, again are
considering the question of
whether or not to stake their to-
matoes or cultivate them and
allow them to fall on the ground,
inquiries being received at the
College of Agricultural show.
Stalking is out of the question for
tomato growers but can be used
to advantage in the average
garden, specialists on the crop at
the college say. Staked plants are
easier to keep free of diseases,
they yield more an acre and pro-
duce more perfect fruit than
unstaked ones.
The costs of stakes. the
additional labor involved and the
greater number of plants requir-
ed are the limited factors for
profitable stalking of tomatoes
when the crop is grown for the
canning factory, N. r. Elliott
said. In this case. the ground
should be cultivated thoroughly
and then a mulch of hay, straw
or some similar substance placed
on the ground so that the fruit
will be kept out of the dirt. Plac.
ing this material on the ground
also helps to conserve moisture.
For the average garden, il
may be best to stake the plants.
They are set about three by five
or four by six feet apart and
trained to single stem. Stakes
similar to a tobacco stick are driV.
en- beside each plant when these
are set. By training to a single
stem and pruning off all other
stems and removing suckers that
grow out of the axis of leaves, il
is possible to raise fruit of better
quality than is produced when
the plants are allowed to run on
the ground.
IF the plants are set in the
ground at least five inches deer
and staked they should produce
fruit until frUst. Cultivation
may be continued thruout the
growing season when stalking is
practiced. When staked, the
plants are tied every six to L
inches, care being taken to see
that they are not tied too tightly
so as not to injure the fruit. .

WOMEN IN VARIOUS TRADES

the Victorian Era.

Guiding women carpenters, electricians,
house painters, glaciers, paper hang
ers, plasterers, plumbers, and even
stone cutters There are also women
working as common laborers for the

We have had factory workers, to be
sure, for long years, but in the past
they have been chiefly employed as
semi-skilled operators in clothing, tex
tile and similar industries. Today,
New York state boasts 2,610 in lum-

semi-skilled tasks in steel and iron
and 3,217 working among the other
metals; while 1,107 work in clay, stone

workers and skilled operators runs
considerably more than 100000 for the
state.
Such tasks are not so anttVictorian

Chewlno Gum Gave Him Away.

A COB of chewing gum has disrupted
a family. In a recent divorce case
the wife, who was suing, testified that
she was sure that her husband was I'M

to which one of several charmers he
was paying attention.
One morning she found a COB Of
gum that he had been chewing the
night before when he returned home
late. In the lump Of gum was the
fatal red hair She caused a watch
to be placed on the woman who had
locks to match the hair she found
and discovered that her husband was

Demand for Those Ornaments by the
Women of the United States
Seems Unsuitable.

Ballots and beads must belong to-
gethe- in the mind Of the modern wom-
an. At any rate, ten strings of beads
are worn today when one was worn
before the war and before the vote.
Beads By the billions are being Inn
ported. This years record prom4ees
to run far ahead Of last years, and
last years record was worth a glance,
To make any comment upon the ad-
vanced and emaneipated woman's In
terest in the ornament that Is usually
set down as South sea savages no
ton of an all-but-complete costume is
quite unnecessary. The figures speak
for themselves.
From central Europe, from France,
from the shores Of the entire Mediter-
ranean, from all Judea, from the three
great countries of the Far East, the
making of beads for the United States
is big business, declares New York
Sun writer. Not satisfied with the
quantity that can be turned out with
everybody working at the job of dec
Grating the dresses and the hats and
the shoes Of millions of American wom-
en-, the demand for something differ
ent has made the best dealers set the
very South sea savage to scraping up
the seashells from the shores of lonely
isles that are all but lost on any
average map.
To the national bill for tire ma
terials could be added the cost of all
imported cigarettes and then the total
would be $35,000,0O0 short of meeting
the total outlay for feminine orna-
ments. In spite of the increase in
the amount of coffee imported, the cup
that cheers America at breakfast time
costs far less than the beads that
women wear. About $66,000,OO0 less.
The comedy continues throughout the
whole list Of life's lesser luxuries.

Locomotive From Scrap Iron.

Working for eleven years, with file
as his only tool, a man in Buenos
Ayres has made miniature locomo-
tive Of scrap iron. The locomotive
can be operated under its own power
by the use of compressed air. The
iron was not heated in the making, but
was worked cold. A small coal tender
and passenger coach were made at the
same time and the whole thing Is
little more than six feet in length and
weighs 10 pounds. More than 1900
screws and 1900 rivets were used in
the work. The train Is complete to
the last tiny detail and is built on the
model of the equipment used on the
British railroads of that country.
