Tills formula supplies the food needed by the plants In addition to what Is naturally supposeu to be in the fairly fertile soil, and should give as a result a large crop of fine tomatoes of good color. Natural!-, the result will de pond somewhat on the varieties used, which for canning purposes should al ways bo such as will ripen all over and be of a dei'p red color. It Is always sale to select varieties of this descrip lion for any market, as they are at tractive to the eye and generally of good quality.

Fo-Cnlled Corn Wheat. In sections of the West there Is be ing grown a variety of wheat known ns relish wheat, which has compara tively little value except, perhaps, as a food for stock. Public accounts of this wheat have been so garbled that farmers have a wrong Impression of It. As this wheat Is grown in the Northwest, It produces wonderfully, iinrt the kernels are much larger than those of the recognized varieties of wheat, 'hnd when fed to stock It Is said to have wonderful fattening results. That It has some merit there Is little - doubt, for It has given fairly good re sults In the making of macaroni flour, . although not so good as the results from the true macaroni wheat. It Is doubtful If It Is safe to use It largely in the fattening of stock, although It Is worthy of test in that way. Seeds men In the North and West can doubt less furnish seeds In small quantities, and the reputation already acquired makes It worth a test, lu some sec tions the variety is known as Emmer und some seedsmen catalogue It under that name. Make n Bag Holder. A frame may be fixed In a few min utes that will hold bags while being tilled. Cut a board six inches wide and nail together as shown. Fill a bag and set it Inside, then adjust the hooks the proper height. The hooks (at are elghtpenuy wire nails driven through the boards bau iioldrh. downward to pre vent turning and the ends then bent upward. The front hooks should be n little lower than the back two. A cross brace on the back will strengthen the frame. A. till more, In Farm and Home. I,nw Wnite. An English farmer writes that he knows several farmers who have late ly surrendered their rented farms sole ly from the dltllculty of getting labor ers; and lu that neighborhood a good liouse and garden free, and a wage of about $.'1.10 a week "can be had for the asking." American farmers meet a similar dltllculty, although offering at least double the English wages. Ex change. Cutter or Qooae Fat. The most iopular substitute for but ter In Germany Is said to bo goose fat. ?Wlght for weight, butter costs less than the fat, but then the latter seems to be far more economical. A pound of excellent butter can be had In Herlln for about 30 cents. Goose fat, on the other hand, is sold by the lKre (1.70 pint) at an average price of 70 to 75 cents. Iu a riven t government publi cation there appeared a suggestion from tho American consul at Berlin to the effect that Germany ofTers a good market for thlg article of food.

Tl!: difficulty of killing plant and tree lice v.'idi the usual spray mixtures is well known. ;0cd results are re ported from the use of a new mixture conltilulng one pound hard soap, one quart castor oil. cne-fourth pound car bonate of soda, one gallon water. Tlip soap aad acid were boiled In water and mixed with the castor oil while healed; the mixture was then diluted with 10 to 20 per cent of water for spraying. In fighting tree lice, it is Important to apply the liquid used be fore the leaves begin to curl and en close the insects. For scale insects, a mixture reported satisfactory is pre pared as follows: Tin quarts boiling water, one quart carbolic acid, one quart soft soap. The mixture Is stir red until an emulsion Is formed and Is applied by means of a brush. Amer ican Cultivator. Derice for Catch Inn: Kowla. Whether or not a fowl will quietly submit to the approach of the Imple ment shown in the drawing any more than it would stand still and al low a man to get within reaching distance, only a practical applica tion can deter mine. It Is possi ble, however, that the device can be moved more rapid ly than a person moves, and thus deceive the fowl. The Idea is Intro duced by a Kentucklan, who states that It will do Its work without injury to the legs, and enable the fowl to stand naturally after Its capture, with out, however, giving It an opportunity to escape. Farm Notes. There Is one cron that must be at tended to now or It will soon be too late asparagus. It comes earl- in the year, almost as soon as the frost leaves tne ground. The bed will be benefited, If shoots have not apepared, by receiv ing a covering of straw, salt hay or any refuse material and burnt over, so as to destroy disease germs that mav be left over on the surface of the ground from last year. Growing a lot of pumpkins In a field of corn Is an old practice, but it is doubtful If pumpkins so grown are ns profitable ns when grown as a separate crop from corn. The pumpkins will prevent the proper cultivation of corn. as working the corn destroys the pumpkin vines, the result being that late weeds get a chance to grow and mature. It is urged In defense of growing pumpkins In the corn field that they do not Interfere with cultlvn. lion until the com Is "laid by," but mucu depends ou tho land, rainfall and thoroughness of cultivation. should never be "laid by" as long as weeds ami grass can have an oppor tunity to grow, cultivation being given If it Is possible for a horse to pass along the rows.

Taul du Chaillus, whose explorations, covering thousands of miles of Africa, added greatly to the world's knowledge of the dark continent and Its inhabitants, died recently at St. Petersburg, where he was making prep arations to start on a tour of exploration In Siberia. He was the first to tell the world about the gorilla. He was G5 years old, was born In New Orleans, and had his home In New York. On his first expedition he sailed from ,ew York to the French settlement at the mouth of the Gaboon River in west Africa.
