THURSDAY MORNING MAY 16th 1807, Culture of Tomatoes, i Larry and the Auto. (Contributed.) The plants in the hot beds should be watered olxa.ionally. not too often, Some use liquid manure to good ad- vantage.. -orae rain water, with a little fertilizer mixed into it. As soon as the plants are large enough and the season will permit, the plants are set out into "cold frames". The ground for these is to be thoroughly and repeatedly till- ed and pulverized and enriched with well matured stable manure and a lit- tle wood ashes. The frames may be made similar to those of the hot beds. Some cover the frames with glazed sash. others make Tight frames the size of hot bed sash 3 by 6 feet and covered with heavy unbleached cotton or light duck. These cold frames should be laid out the sante as hot beds. east and went. Another method often adopted, in- stead of snaking sash frames and cov- ering them ie to nail 'strips of 2:3 or 2:4 across the cold frame at intervals of abs it 24 of 3 feet and make your cotton covering in the forth of a tar- paulin about 6 inches larger each way than the cold frames. :Spread this over and stake down to side with tent pine. Care should be taken not to transplant to cold frames till danger of hard frosts are past. The transplanting can be made com- paratively easy work by the use of what is called a "spotting board". This may be made by taking a 12 in- board long enough to reach across the bed and holes made in this board about 3 inches apart each way and pegs 4 inches long by ie Inch thick are driven through these holes, These pegs having been previously tapered down to a point from about 1 inch from the base. This board being completedand your ground having been toroughly prepared and levelled, commence at one end and press the board down tight into the soil. On raising you will find the ground evenly indented or "pricked" in uniform holes for the reception of the tender little plants. These are pressed in with the fingers. The plants should be watered a day before transplanting and should be watered while in the cold frame, only often enough to keep thegt trom wilt- ing. The danger is in the over water init. The temperature in hot beds should be from 80 to 110 white in the cold beds they should be from 60 to 80. Light straw is used for covering on very cold nights. Care must be taken not to overheat the plants while in the cold beds during the hot days, plenty of orogen is necessary, as well as an abundance of sunshine. The planta for transplanting to the field should be from 6 to 10 inches tall, stout, healthy and well hardened to sunshine and atmosphere. Special care should be taken not to water the plants for at least three days before transplanting them from the cold beds to the fleld, except they should be watered 8 or 10 hours before transplanting, Twice duringthe time the la plants are in the cold beds they should be sprayed with Bordeaux mix- ture. This should also be used about 4 or fare days after setting out in the field. Next paper will be on transplanting to open field.

'cent • s • Clinton Swept by Fire• he could are eh' ehmile on Richard's The moat disastrous flre in the his' tory of Clinton occurred Monday of ternoon. The fire started in the Clin- ton Thresher Co. plant. A most terrific wind was blowing and it is thought the fire originated by a spark from the Thresher Co's, smokestack falling on the roof of the frame factory. For a time it looked as though the whole town would be destroyed as fully twenty buildings were on flreat one time and with the wind blowing so strong the firemen were at the flames' mercy. Assistance was asked for from Stratford and Blyth and Ms to these brigades much of the credit is due in stopping the fire's pro- gresa. 'I he flames leaped fioni the Thresher Company to their office, then across the street to some email buildings at the rear of Weeley Methodist Church and for a time this splendid structure was in great danger, but although fire caught in a few places it was even- tually saved. Cinders and sparks were carried over to Elliott's livery stable, but the fire brigade prevented them doing melons damage, although the contents of livery and residence were removed The Rattenhurg Hotel, was now seen to have caught fire in the third story. and the building being an en- tire frame structure it fell a prey to the flames. as did the ,adjoining sample room. 1t seemed for a time that the old post office building adjoining the Rotten- burgHotel ales he large r e etwfile at the R rear and Flynn's blacksmith shop. would also horn, but at this time the brigades from Blyth and Stratford arrived and prevented further des- trnctinn, although the rear part of the old poet office was burned and Mc- Lean's restaurant was partly damaged by water. Dr. Evans' house and stable were completely destroyed. ar.d it was aith difficulty that the Davis' livery. Dr. Ounn's office and residence also other r.-gidences were saved. although the contents of moot of three were retnov- ed and suffered considerable damage. The Thresher ('ompany plant lieges $60.000, insurance $2),(1110. The Rattenhury House. owned by J Rattenhnry was valued at $8,01), and s a total loss, insured for $2,0I0.
