Occasionally a male child Is blessed with good plan ners from birth, but he usually expires with exceptional thoroughness shortly tiefore or Immediately after his flfth birthday.

Preparation of the Soil for Tomatoes. “If the land was not ploughed in the fall, plough as early in the spring an possible and prepare it thoroughly by harrowing and dragging. Where the land was* ploughed* in the fall, re- plough it in the spring—then apply the manure and thoroughly mix it with the soil by disking and harrowing. , Harrow and disk the soil as many times as. is necessary to put it in the very best condition and use a drag or roller to break up the clods. Where the land is well drained, level culture should be practiced, but where the soil is poorly drained, the plants should tc set on ridges. The flatter the ridges, the better, provided good drain age is secured. Never use narrow ;>e&ked ridges as these dry out too quickly/’ * ' >x Fertilizers. *• Even where manure is used, com mercial ffeilizer should be applied aa the manure will not supply all tke elements of plant food needed. For soil that is manured at the rate of two to three loads on the one-tenth acre, plat, it ia advisable to apply 10 to 2# pounds of nitrate of soda, &0 to 100 pounds of 10 per cent phosphate and IS to 30 pounds of muriate or owl- rr^r^ta.«TTJ*IW plat If no «ulk ewo* o» Jehu*ah** A tha Rmwft.— I'rvwft M# ik# halo. •To*.
