It drops Into a central opening In tho
spreading disk. This disk la very ob

tion, which mokes It In effect a blowor,
strong current of air pusslng In at
the central opening and being discharg
ed at edge. This current of nil- blows
tbe fertilizer with considerable force in
all directions, scattering It with the
greatest evenness over the surface of
the ground, sowing a strip about 0',ii
feet Wide.
Over the bottom of tho hopper an
agitating arm rotates slowly, keeping
the material In the hopper thoroughly
stirred, and as the bottom of the hop
per Is conical the material always
moves toward the central opening In
bottom. To regulate tbe flow, or feed,
this opening Is controlled by a conical
shaped valve, or stopper, having a
vertical motion. Tbe control valve has
a base Just large enough to fill tbe
opening in bottom of hopper when it Is
raised so Its base Is lu the opening.
When It is lowered, an annular opening
hi left for the fertilizer to pass through,
and this annular opening Is greater or
less according as the valve Is lowered
much or little. This valve has also a
rapid rotary motion and two pins
projecting up through tbe outlet of
hopper. Tbe rapid rotary motion of
the valve, wfth pins attached, makes It

The requisites for a market tomato
are medium to Inrgo size, smoothness,
solidity, earllncss, productiveness and
tbe freedom from surface cracks In
wet weather. . Tbe hist, however, Is
something not yet fully attained. Col
or, too. Is a matter of importance. In
moot markets the light purplish red or
"Acme color" Is preferred to the bright
scarlet red of tbe old fashioned varie
ties, and sny shade of red Is prefera
ble to yellow.
Tbe Acme waa one of the first va
rieties to be Introduced that satisfac
torily fulfilled the rcqulreiucota for a
market tomato It quickly became a
general favorite, and In regions where
Droning Is practiced It Is still more
planted than any other kind. Without
pruning It often runs too small to be
desirable, especially toward the but of
the season.

persoual feeling against blm was so
bitter for years after bis withdrawal
from the ranks of the separatists that
many an unhappy man was driven to

to watch Mr. Chamberlain' handling
of the situation. He would pause wben

tbe heckler a cbanco to make himself

"will you kindly speak upT I should
be sorry if any one missed what you
bave to say." ,
Tbe heckler, now quite unnerved,
would stammer out something, and

' The practice of kissing the band
waa instituted by tbe early Roman rul
ers aa a mark of subjection as mucb as
one of respect and under tbe first Cu
sars tbe custom was kept up, but only
for a time. These worthies conceived
tbe Idea that the proper homage due to
their exalted station called for lea fa
miliar mode of obeisance, so tbe privi
lege of kissing the emperor's band waa
reserved as a special mark of conde
scension or distinction for officer of
blgh rank.
Roman fathers considered tbe prac
tice of kissing of so delicate a nature
that tbey never kissed their wive In
tbe presence of tbelr daughters, Then,
too, only tbe nearest relatives were al
lowed to kiss tbelr kindred of tbe gen
tler sex on tbe mouth, for In those
days, aa now, kissing wa not a mere
arbitrary sign, but it waa tbe aponta
neoua language of tbe affections, espe
cially tbat of love.
Under the Romans If a lover kissed
his betrothed before marriage sbe In
herited half of bis wordly good in tbe
event of bis death before tbe marriage
ceremony, and If sbe died ber heritage

It Is a difficult matter to bring tbe
permanent meadows and pastures to
such a stage of perfection that they
Will afford a sufficient supply of fresh
feed throughout tbe entire season.
Usually there are one or more period
during tbe year wben tbe aupply I
limited, and during which tbe perma
nent grass land may be much Injured
by continuous use.' These periods gen
erally occur In the early spring, mid
summer, and late autumn. Again, the
primary crops, either of grass or grain,
may be Injured severely, or destroyed
'entirely, by unfavorable climatic con
dition or by Insect or fungous pests.
Under such conditions serious financial
loss may be avoided by growing sup
plementary or secondary forage crops.
If tbe crop is desired for use tne same
season, quick growing annual should
be sown; If for whiter and early
spring, biennials or the so called "win
ter annuals." .-
.There are few large farms In any
section of tbe country, devoted to-mixed
farming and stock- raising,- upon
which land could not be advantageous
ly sown to-such supplementary crops.
Usually the lind can be used a portion
of tbe season for producing some pri
mary crop. In which case the supple
meqtary crop la clear gain. Often In
stead of allowing the land to He fallow
for tbe entire season, as hi the practice
hi some sections, It can be utilised to
grow these forage crop and also be
brought , Into good condition for tbe
grain or other primary crop.
There, are a large number of annual
and biennial crops adapted to use as
supplementary forago. For spring seed
ing tbe annuojs are perhaps most often
used, although some biennial are also
valuable, particularly for late summer
and autumn feed. The various varie
ties of fodder coi n, sorghum (both sac
charin and noiisaccharin), field peas,
oats, barley, soy beans, vetches and
rape may be successfully grown In the
northern xlstcs. In tbe south most of
these same, crops, with the addition of
the cowpen. Florida beggar weed and
velvet bean, are available. On alkali
soils tho Australian saltbusb con often
be grown to advantage. These crops
will nil afford forage that can be used
during some portion of tbe summer
and early autumn for fresh food for
stock, either as pasturage or for soil
ing. -
Wben It I desired to have forage
throughout the autumn months, many
of the crops mentioned above can be
utilized, sowing the seed In late sum
mer or early autumn. At a rule, It will
be best to use the early -or medium
early sorts for this purposo. There are
varieties of millet corn, sorghum and
soy beans tbat are adapted to use In
the different sections of tbe country,
Rape can sometime be used for this
purpose, and there Is a large variety of
root crops that do well planted at this
season of the year.
Tbe list of fall crops suitable for late
fall, winter and soring forage affords
opportunity for tbe selection of varie
ties suited to almost any section of tbe
country. In the north winter rye Is
perhaps tbe most valuable, crop, while
winter wheat may also be utilised, and
rape, root crops and hairy vetch tut-
nlsb excellent food for stock until tbe
appearance of heavy freezing weather.
In tbe south rescue grass, hairy vetch,
crimson clover, turf or winter oats, rye
and Egyptian clover make a good list
from wblcb to select varieties suitable
not only for forage, but also for use at
cover crops for Increasing tbe fertility
of tbe mod. But clover may be sown
also at this seaaoa for early spring
pasturage. .
It must be remembered In couaectlon
with the cultivation . of these supple
mentary forago crops, and more
peclally with reference to the legumi
nous varieties, tbat even In case It does
not become necessary to use tbem for
forage, tbey will more than pay for the
trouble and expense In growing tbem.
