shoald be taken up with ~ much snil as
will stick to the roots, and planted ia the
patch two or three inches deeper than they
stood in the bed, in rows from moth to
south, four to six feet distant from each
other, and about three feet between the
plants. The soil must be kept free from
weeds, and occasionally worked with the
hoe.
On The appearances Of the fruit, the first
and most important trimming Of the vines
takes place. The plants have by this time
become full of side shoots three or four Of
tlle best branches nearest to the root are
retained; all The other branches are remov.
cd, and The centre branches cut of above
the eye nearest TO the fruit, a. III The case
Of the grape vine.
The second trimming Of The vines takes
place when tho fruit Is set on all the
{moiher) branches, by cutting off ali super.
h0ons branches or side shoots as in the first
trimming.
So soon az the fruitcon,mences ripenihR,
which manifesis itself by the appearance
Of color, another (thlrd) trimming takes
place. When three or four Of the most
promising branches are selected foe com.
fneneing fruit setting, The weakest shoots
Or suckers on the other9rnit branches must
be removed, and the tops cut Off above The
eyes nearest the fruit, even though they be
covered with blossoms.
The remaining ffuit beirg by this trim.
ming exposed to he uninterrupted power
Of the sun, are brought to perfection with
remarkable rapidity.
The Thinning should be repeated in the
m7nner prescribed, as often as necessary,
and care taken not TO tramp on the vines.
1t has been the pleasure Of the writer to
cultivate tomatoes according TO these rules
for the last three years, receiving d fuft
crop Of new fruit until severe frost killed
the vines, and a constant Improvement in
the quantity and quality Of fruit, until il has
become like those exhibited before the
Cincinnati horticultural Society at their
meeting on the 18th uIt.

boil vinegar, il should be lone by plating
it in a stoneware jar In a vessel of hot

~potter's ware should be avoided either for
making or Keeping the pickles in, as it ID
dangerous to- health on account Of It's being
glazed with lead, which all acids will cor.
rode or dissolve
Pickles should be kept from the air as
much as possible, and Only touched with
wooden spoons. The vessels, in which they
are kept, should be made Of glass or stone,
and even those Of woed may be employed
with success. They are also better pre-.
served 10 small bottles or jars, than in
large ones, as the more frequent opening
of the latter exposes them too much 10 thc
air. Copper, Or yerJigris. i frequently
added 70 pickles, to impart a geen color
but this poisonous Ingredient becomes
mixed wi b our 9 iment, the effect Of which
on the health Of individuals cannot but bs
sensibly felt ifa green color be desired,
it may be impair ed to the pickles by steep
ing in vinegar vine leaves, or those Of
parsley, or spinach. A t~easpoonfal Of olive
oil Is frequently added to each bottle to
keep the pickles white.

s~ULpHURrG ETHER, In CoNNECrroN
wITH STEAM, As A Motive PowER.--A
patent has been recently enrolled, by Mr..
Newton Of Chahctry-Iane, for the en-
ployment Of the elastic vapour of solphuric
ether as a motive power. not absolutely
instead Of steam, but In connection with
1t the caloric from the steam, after it has
done It's duty, being sufficient to yapourise
the ether. The principles Of action are,
the passing Of The steam, after it has exer-
ted its force upon the piston Of a steam.cn-
CINE Of the usual construction, not into the
condenser, as in condensing engines, or
into the atmosphere. as in high. pressure
engines, but into q certain ppa ratus,
which the inventor terms q generator"
''~vapouriser.o The steam Is, Immediately
upon its introduction into the generator"
condensed, by contact with the surfaces Of
the apparatus, while the heat absorbed
from the steam during condensation
converts into yapour the sulphuric
ether, or other highly volatile fluid,
which may be used under this patent ; the
quantity, and, consequently, the power
obtained, being in proportion to The amount
of caloric in the steam. This yapour Is
then employed In the propulsion Of a pis-
ton within a cylinder, similar 10 a com
mon steam engine, and acting in unison
with the steam cylindrr~-the piston being
connected by the usual method of piston
rod connecting rod, and crank 10 the same
shaft to which the steam piston is attached
The elastic vapour, after having exerted its
force upon the piston, Is conveyed away
by proper pipes to a vapour condenser,
where it is condensed into fluid by simple
contact with cooled metallic surfaces,
which are constantly kept at a tempera-
ture sufficiently low to effect The conden
sation of the vapour, Immediately on il.
coming in contact with them. The on

Cultivation Of Tomatoes
Many cultivators of tomatoes are much
troubled by The vines growing too luxuriant.
" and producing little fruit, and that Of In
ierior quality. This i particularly the case
on rich and moist soils, and the only m
dy il severe pruning, as djrec.ed Ia the fol-
lowing communication which was made to
the Cincinnati Horticultural Society the
past month, by one Of the extensive mar.
ket gardeners nearthat city. After direct
ing that good strong plants should b. rails.
ed III a hot-be3 from seeds sovyn ii Febru-
AIRY Or March, he says.
When the flower buds appear, The plants
are readyto be removed to The open patch
81 field. A spot slightly declining towards
the east or south, of mixed soil, IS prefera-
Bile.
In a very rich soil, the plants will grow
tall with an abundance Of fruit which never
ripens , and a too poor soil vii produce d
small and imperfect fruit.
The best and suFest way Of obtaining d
good crop of large fruit, i. h thinly cover
the patch with rotten manure, and mix ii
with other soil BY plough or spade.
