Maryland lead tlie llt wllli nlout two million cases K-r annuia; Iinliana, with tier million caes, pm-cuuI; followed, lu turn, by New Jersoy, California. Delaware and Ohio. The (Miiiiiries are Nrmanent lustttutions. the demand Is inereasiiii:, and there Is no reaon why the grow ing of tomatoes will not continue to te a profitable business with many. i:riiim toniato.-s for a runnerv lif- '-a. frrs from raising thein for the market. In the former case, tirst of all, a lar.'n yield is sought. Karly maturity i of less lniiortance siiu-e the grower con tracts to sell the whole crop at a fixed price. It Is said that gxxl corn land Is rich enottch for totnatoos, although medium clay loaut Is prrferrwl ly many. Splendid results foiiow fall or winter plowing. At any rate land should be plowed as early In the spring as pos sible. Plow jeep and follow with earth miilehlng. that Is, maintain a thin layer of tine earth on the surface by shallow cultivation, which will be cf great value in scaring the moisture. The vnriety should b such as the canneries prefer. They will generally provide the plants at a nominal price to those who grow tomate s for thetu. In c:isp it is preferred to grow the plants near where they are to be set. they should le started in a cold frame or on the south slds? of a board fence In a rich warm soil. The plant will Increase to proper s'ze In four or five weeks, and should be set out In the field In rows alxiut four feet apart, for ease of cultivation. Start the cultiva tion early, but be careful not to bnrk the plants, as that will kill thera. When they begin to branrh do not cultivate closer than the ends of tl A Xeie Itato Cufajv. A queer tale In ngrlonlture comes by way of 1'nlcngo. It Is statiMl that a half-bushel of sawdust, a d.ish of chemical solution and fifteen potatoes carefully enveons with the sawdust will enable the average householder to grow a bushel of tuU-rs on his house top or in his cellar within sixty days. This process has lievn discovered and chi Intra ted by W. 1. Durst, of tlre.it Palls. Mont. Moreover, the grower will h.ne no potato bugs to conteti I with, no turning over of th, soil at certain intervals, and no contest with norms. , 'io product of Mr Darst's pnxvs Is termed the "vineless Htt.ito" from the fact that, grown uuder these np parently unnatural condition, there Is uo surfait vciretatlon, because of which, each potato buried in the saw dust Is enabled to produi"e at least twelve normal-sized tubers. Ilevntly at the Oakland Plaza, 1.1 the rear of the Oakland Hotel. Mr. Darst disclosed the inotliods of grow ing Mtatoes by his system. Opcratin.: on the thivry that the presence of sur face vegetation was only a method of securing nourishment and in reality sapped the vitality of th.t tuber. Mr. Darst experimented more than six years and found lie could overcome this seemingly natural cours, on the part of the plant by supplying It arti ficially with its needs. By employing sawdust, peat, straw, or any other earth product that would permit of the circulation of air. moist ure and heat, and bv np'dviug solution of various fertilizers, discovered that a single potato would multiply Itself by attaching to Itself from twelve to sixteen other potatoes of approximately the same dimensions without throwing off any of iu energy above ground. Packed in loosely nrransed bins ter mitting the frv access of air and ar- iiiatter of fact, what are commonly re- tlrat, vi'.rded a the ttetals of the dogwood talis are no part of the tlorul structure at nil. but merely four Urge white leaven, lib-It, during the w tutor, M-rvcd protei tive wmpjK'rs to ttie itowcr buds, t he real Uonu a are about the slle of shoe pen, or Krcuuuh color aud are bunched scleral together lu u itmall cluster In the midst of the four white leaves, and If oltscrvcd at all by the average wild Bower gatherers, are iiiisiakcu for stamen.

For heavy yields It Is essential that strong land or heavy fertilization be used. While it is true that on many of the soils In the Middle States a re munerative crop may be produced with little fertilization, it is also true thai on nearly all of these soils a lilral use of fertilizers will be profitable. The tomato plant Is a gross feeder, and especially requires an abundant supply of potash. Prof. Voorliees. of New Jersey, who Is authority on such subjects, estimates that ten tons of fruit, with the accompanying vines, would contain fifty-seven pounus of nitrogen, sixteen pound of phosphoric neid. and ninety-four ounils of potash. On many of our May lands phosphoric acid is relatiwly low, and the applica tion of potash is needc to pn. tire the most profitable crops. The nitrogen supply is more variable, and can often be secin-eii hy turning under a legumi nous crop, (in Eastern lands, which have been devoted to last year's toma toes, nitrate of soda can be used with a prolit. In the Central States, manu facturers of fertilizers have not offered goods Kj)fi-i:. il prepared for this vege table because of a lack of demand, due largely to the Ignorance of same, and from lack of knowledge of the require ments of the soil. Hut of late loih the growers am! iho cm liners arc asking for advice regarding fertilizers to lie used on tomatoes. A mixture that bus been officially recommended contains: Nitrogen 4 per cent. Phosphoric acid... 7 per cent. Potash 12 per cent. using about i pounds of this mixture per acre. Some experiments of early tomatoes peetn to indicate that sulphate of , potash gives tiiem a better quality. A properly mail.- tobacco fertilizer is alio suited for this crop, and the pot a m in it is d'-rived from sulphate. foot of sawdust to the seedling. Mr. Darst has demonstrated the rapidity of growth and the proportions that the potatoes may attain by showing that witnin sixty days fifteen potatoes will produce a bushel. In the charm-tor of his experiments and the success that e have always rinted on each and every pkg. of Model Dairy Farm. Thp Dennrtment of Agriculture has rwentlv nuhlished a bulletin contain- lng suggestion for constructing a model dairy barn. It has been the endeavor of the Department to plan a barn embodying the best Ideas In scientific and sanitary construction that are consistent with practicahiiity and cheapness, and it Is believed the result accomplished by the plan pub lished will help the dairyman to get the best products .from hia cows in the most economical manner.

When the dogwood is in bloom in the spring woods, he would be a Very unobservant traveler who did not know it: yet it is questionable if one out of fifty of the multitude of people who come home from their country walks with their arms full of s.nowy branches has ever noticed the real flowers of this beautiful tree. a Department to Insist that the arrange tnent shown Is the only satisfactory one, but the Idea Is to present some Important features often overlooked by the 'builder and which are vl.al to a well-planned structure. The amount of space allowed for the various purposes named on plan I thought to meet the require ments so far as the squure feet of floor space is concerned. The ar rangement of the space can be adapted to the needs of the particular location. The design calls for a width of 31 feet 4 Inches outside. There are two main reasons for adopting this width; No food on earth gives the same sustaining power from meal to meal as Grape -Nuts BECAUSF The starchy parts of the wheat and barley are changed by moisture and heat to a form of sugar required by the human system and almost immediately absorbed without stress to the digestive machinery. And again, the certain elements in these grains are incorporated to insure rebuilding of the soft gray matter in the brain and nerve centres to fit one for the wearing work of the day. A dish of Grape-Nuts and Cream at each meal supplies the GO and you can feel it iu a way that leaves no the question. It is not stimulation but simply scientific feeding. 44 There's a Reason.
