It is an absolute fact that the barns propâ€" erly rodded and grounded are not liable to be struck by lightning. The crops should not be put in until it is certain they have been properly cured, Evidence is daily accumniating that the heavy clover crops of last year did not receive full and proper care and resulred in the firing of harne from spontaneous combustion, Many doubt this theory but recognition of the cause is growing very rapidly.

In the fall who~ the celery has reached sufficien | height it will be found necessary to blanch it. â€" Possibly the best me» ,* ;thod being to stand twelve inc* )bo.n‘r:u against the rows of plant: TOMATOES. The tomato is on: of the most popular vegetables either fresh or in a preserved con ’dmon. It may be grown quite easily !ln the backyard. The better practic with tomatoes is to purchase th« lplanu ready for transplanting rather |than attempting to grow these plants if one has not bad experience in handling a hotâ€"bed. Plants having o large root system are best, and th« stock in any case should at least be the size of a lead pencil, The soil should be thoroughly prepared beâ€" fore planting time, possibly a crop o! ’leuuee or radish may be taken from the same, but it is always advisabl« to have plenty of manure incorporâ€" ated in the soil. A shallow hole may be made with the common hoe to inâ€" ‘sert the roots of the tomato plant. These roots should be thoroughly watered so that the soil will cling close to the roots when they are s« out in the garden,. The plant should be set fairly deep and the earth should be firmed around the root: If the season is dry and bot, wate: may be poured around the plant in order to facilitate growth. Thes: plants may be set two feet apart i they are to be trained on stakes an« kept from covering a large space in the garden. These stakes should » preferably six feet long, two inches wide, and one inch thick. They may be driven into the soil a few days after the plant has been set out and the plants tied up to the stick wit! a piece of twine or cotton in such : manner that the tie will be direct!» under the leaf, _ As the plant d« velopes in size in front of each lea! a slender growth called a side shoo: | will appear. These must be remove< | by pressing them out with the thum» , when “3 small. Four or five tic* . will be ssury to support th» plant. As a result of the stakins fruits of a superior quality will ripen earlier than those grown on t\ | ground. sible after bleaching. Other metho« of bleaching celery are the draw i of earth up around the plant gras mually, commencing when the bea : the plants are about four inc»>: above the l:":‘l“ Brown paper i: sometimes &round h indi vidual head, ree grow the soil will be gradually drag ed up and the trench will be filled., It will be necessary to cultivate th« soil between the rows so as to keep down weeds, and at the same time soil should be gradually drawn up to the tops in sufficient quantities so that the growing roots will not | exposed to the sunlight, which will cause them to turn green and be o inferior quality. If an early variet» has been planted und a vigorous growth has resulted it is possobl: that some may be fit to dig in Augus: By removing some of the soil from around a hill with the hand one can tell whether they are fit to dig. 1i the potatoes are grown for winto: use they do not need to be dug until quite late in the fall, The tops will die down at the first frost, but it is not absolutely necessary that they ) dug immediately, They should, bowâ€" ever, be dug before there is any severe frost. (By _ S. C. JOHNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Some of our vegetables are very tender and should not be planted until after all danger of frost is over, It must be remembered that because the soil is ready to receive the plants it is not absolutely necessary | that the grower should set the plants out. Potatoes planted out between 24th May and even the first of June will give excellent results. Tomatos may be set out after the 6th of June and good returns expected, as some seaâ€" sons a severe frost destroys many tomato plants as late as June 6th, Vine crops such as cucumber and squash may be planted after all danâ€" ger of frost is over. ° POTATOES. _ Potatoes are one crop which may be planted on land which is considered to be in a very rough condition. Possibly there is no better crop to be planted on land which bas been in sod for a numbe: of years. Mediumâ€"sized tubers of good quality should be secured and they should be cut so that there are at least two eyes in each piece or set. It is a good plan in a small garden to have the soil prepared fairly well, then cut the seed and commence planting. Furrows may be made with the hoe about six inches deep and two feet apart. The sets may be placed twelve inches apart in th« bottom of the furrow and should be covered with two inches of soil. This will leave the young plant more or less in a trench. As the plants Grow Some and Keep Down t( NOW ABOUT POTATOES But All Danger m' Frosts Should Be Passed Before Tender Crops Arc Put in the Ground.
