In buying Hie INGERSOLL PAINTS, you pay ONLY THE FACTORY COST for the actual 
Paint f urn lulled. YOU SAVE ALL MIDDLEMEN'S PROFITS. The Dealer or Supply House 
may offer you a I'alnt at our price, but THEY CAN NOT GIVE YOU OUR QUALITY OF 
PAINT AT OUR PRICE as they must charge you in ADDITION to the value of the Paint fur¬ 
nished, the mpmalvi.at of their selling 1 method nml Middlemen's profits. Dealers ••an offer 
you low priced' Paints ONLY AT THE EXPENSE OF QUALITY OF PAINT FURNI8HED. 
DON'T USE CHEAP PAINT offered by Dealers mid Supply Houses, Any little saving made 
on first coat WILL BE LOST MANY TIMES OVER In the expense of FREQUENT REPAINT¬ 
ING. THE INGERSOLL PAINT will give you LONG YEARS of sal is factory service aud LOOK 
WELL all the time. 
preferences rule south. The small Lima 
beau makes a better crop than the large, 
and is preferred by many, and is known 
as the “butter benn." 
North of Philadelphia the extra early 
varieties of sugar corn will do well, while 
down here they seldom pay for the ground 
they occupy. For quality, there is none 
better than the Golden Bantam. Here 
I find the Black Mexican corn the earliest 
to pay for planting. Then the standard 
of sugar corns, Stowell’a Fvergreen, plant¬ 
ed in succession, tills the bill. 
I should have said that I have found 
fora wax-podded string benn the Celestial 
the best cropper and more free from rust 
than most others. But most of the yel¬ 
low-podded beans are flat and thin as com¬ 
pared with green ones. 
For an early beet, the Egyptian is early 
and pretty, but soon loses quality. The 
oldest of early beets is stilh the best, if 
you <?aro for quality rather than Color. 
Tliis is the Bassano. City people who 
buy it will take the Egyptian, and the 
marketmen find that its small-top 
hunches are better than Ihe Bassano. 
For later use, a good strain of the Blood 
Turnip beet is the best.' 
For the earliest cabbage, the Early 
Jersey Wakefield is the best, with Copen¬ 
hagen Market ns a succession, and a good, 
late Flat Dutch for Winter. 
Of cauliflower, the Denmark-grown 
seed of the Snowball is about the only 
one to plant. Of cucumbers, the Davis 
Perfect is gaining annually, and the mar¬ 
ket growers who grew it last Summer got 
better prices than those who grew the 
ordinary brands of White Spine. Mr. 
Davis bred this cucumber for growing 
under glass, but. it has proved good out¬ 
side as well. 
Of early radishes, the White-tipped 
Scarlet Turnip-rooted ; Rose Colored Chi¬ 
nese for late Fall and Winter. 
In eggplants, the Black Beauty is early 
und prolific, but of late seems to have 
developed a weakness that makes it hard 
with mo to grow good plants parly. The 
old New York Improved is larger and fin* 
more easy to get good, strong plants. 
For muskmelnns, the Salmon-tinted Pol¬ 
lock and the Eden Gem have been beat 
with me, both in quality and productive¬ 
ness. The Honey Dew is in n claws by 
itself. It. is large and late, and suits 
some people, but its mawkish sweetness 
1 is disagreeable to me. T grew them once 
toes, the “Negro Choker,” is not grown 
in the Middle States, so far as I know. 
It has a dark purplish skin and pure 
white flesh. Probably it can be had 
through some of the Southern seed houses 
Those who prefer soft yam varieties 
should plant Nancy Hall and the Porto 
Itieo. The Jersey potatoes, as a rule are 
better croppers than the yams. For the 
North, tlie earliest and most productive 
yam variety is the Dayman, also known 
as Southern Queen. 
For Spring turnips, sow the Early 
Milan, either white or purple top.

Handy Planting Board 
The board i* about I ft. long. 4 in. 
wide, and 1 in. thick. At A and B notches 
or holes are made about 1 inch in 
diameter. At <at tin- center of one side 
of the board, a rounded notch or open 
hole about I'fi in. deep is made, and into 
the edge of the hoard at I) a wooden lmt- 
ton is fastened with a screw. The button 
is long enough to reach across the notch, 
which can he varied in size according to 
the thickness of the trees to he planted. 
I found it of much assistance in plant¬ 
ing young trees, especially ns I did not 
have anyone to help inn a large part of 
the time. It differs from the ordinary 
pliiiiling board in having a wooden button 
fitting somewhat tightly, so that when 
the tree is placed in the hole and the 
stem in the crotch of the planting hoard, 
a turn of tin* button holds it there, and 
gives one greater freedom in shoveling in 
and settling the ground about the tree. 
By using a wedge, trees of various thick¬ 
ness can be firmly held while being 
planted. Of course, where (here is a 
helper in the work of planting, the but¬ 
ton would not be needed, but there are not 
a few* who find it necessary at times to do 
planting alone, aud such would find, 1 
think, the button no small convenience.

Township Expenses 
Gnu ihe taxpayers of a town bring an 
action of any kind where the officers in 
said town ask nnrcnsonablo prices for 
their services, so the town audits arc 
more than larger towns? In some 
cases expense twice ns much as towns in 
same county of equal size. If so. what 
sort of n proceeding must it be, and who 
must hoar the expense of such proceed¬ 
ing? a. v 
The compensation of town officials is 
fixed by law. except such officers whose 
compensation is fixed by the board of su¬ 
pervisors of (hi* county, hence the reason 
for increased tax rate in your town must 
be other than the compensation of the 
town officers. As a general rule town 
officers are very poorly paid for the ser¬ 
vice they render. Your town poor and 
highway conditions undoubtedly have 
much to do with the tax rate. Perhaps 
your town officials do not use your money 
to the best advantage in caring for the 
town needs. If this is so, it will be re¬ 
flected by the vole ,.f your citizens at the 
next annual town meeting n.t.
