TOMATOES. Those who wish to hur-
ry their tomatoes for market may do so
by proper shortening. All must have
observed that so per cent. of the toma-
toes grow about IS inches from the
ground, and that so per cent. of the vine,
containing only 10 per cent of the fruit,
grows above this point; therefore cut it
off and remove it with the small! toma-
toes. The vines will not bleed, and
the larges tomatoes left will increase in
size more than equal to the value Of
those removed, besides getting them to
market while the price is sufficiently
high to compensate for their culture

Down East somewhere a pious old
lady was summoned as a witness in an
important case. Being told that she
must "swear," the poor woman was
filled with borrow at the thought. Al
ter much persuasion she yielded and
exclaimed-"WeH if I must I must
Dum!" The court adjourned lmme-
diately, and the judge was ca rried home
on plank.

U-"Colored ladies'" says an exchange

CURING Corn SrALKs.-A correspon-
dent of the Maine Farmer places his
stalks butt upwards, and then, if it rains,
all the water is thrown quickly off, and
none lodges between the leaf and stalk
A long storm will thus injure them but
little, while in the usual wav they
would become completely soaked.

MANUEE.-The scorchng heat Of
July and August demand Of the farmer
more attention to his manures than any
other season of the year. We here
take occasion to commend the adoption
of manure sheds, instead of the old prac-
tice of exposing the contents Of stables,
&C., to the rain and sun. We know of
many persons who have adopted the
shed system, and who are highly salts
fled with the increased value of the ma
nure thus protected. Manure sheds
may be so construed as to answer the
double purpose of sheltering both cattle
and manures; and at comparatively
trllllng expense.
But whether you have sheds or not,
the droppings of the cattle in the sta
bles as well as around the barn-yard,
should be thrown to the common heap,
and thus in part, prevent the loss which
always arises from the exposure to the
hot suns of summer. The weeds pulled
or cut, should all be carted to the prin-
cipal heap. where they are speedily con-
verted into lertilizing matter, instead Of
being thrown into fence corners, to
poison the atmosphere and strengthen the
growth of other equally noXious plants

worth of valuable fertilized materials

VINO FAvoRs PIERcE!-A late number
of Wilmer & Smiths European Times,
printed IN London, has long article on
the subject of American politics, from
which we extract the following, and
commend it to the attention of our work-
ing readers:-
"As regards England, public sympa-
thy, it is needless to say, is enlisted on
the side of the Democratic candidate.
Not that General Pierce is considered
the better man. Far otherwise. He is
merely accepted as the nominee of that
great party in the Union who desire tc

charged by his Government with the
collection of information upon military

Many a farmer, by too sparinglv

A good housewife should not be a

lHE TARIFF IN CoNGRESS.-J. CLANCY
Jones, on Thursday week, offered an
amendment to the civil and diplomatic
bill, which provides that
"Hereaiter the nd yu1orem duties of
the Tariff of 1916, as to iron and such
other articles of import as might be Sc
lected by the Secretary of the Treasury,
should be levied upon the market price
of those articles, including the duties,
insurance, profits, and usual commercial
charges. This would, in general add
about fifteen per cent to the duties levi
ed under that act.'
A democratic speaker ruled it out of
order, and his decision was sustained by
a democratic House. Two democrats
from Pennsylvania, Ross md .UcLano-
hun, We're among the enemies of the
measure. Last tal's promises appears
to have escaped the memory of these
politicians.
The Washington correspondent of
the Ledger says:
"The tone of the House seems to be
less conclhatory TO Pennsylvania than to
New York; the democrats believing
that New York can be more easily car
rie1 against Scott than the Keystone
State. There is no Tariff movement
coming from New Yorl-lttIe from
New England, and none from the West,
as far as the democratic members are con-
cerned; and the democrats OF Pennsylva-
mia themselves are not united on the mea-
sure. This naturally destroys the force
of the movement, which might other

AN OLD SOLDIERS TEsTIMoNY.-We
were both an eye and an ear witness to
the following incident at the Niagara
Celebration, says the Forrest City, so
graphically described by the correspon-
dent of the Buffalo Commercial:
"Among the most striking incidents
of yesterday was the introduction, brief
ly mentioned in my Geographic report,
oftwo old soldiers who had fought under
Scott and Harrison. These veterans ad
dressed the crowd in brief speeches, and
although it is true their voices were
weak and broken by age, yet their
words were strong, and made deep
impression on all who heard them. Ser
geant Thompson, the soldier who had
fought and bled at Lundy's Lane, and
who had been plucked from a heap of
slain, several hours after the battle had
ceased, with some evidences of life re-
naming in him, spoke with Indignation
OF the rumors which they told HIM had
spread abroad, that Scott was a cruel man
and harsh ruler over his companions
in arms. He would testify while his life
and speech were spared him, to the false
hood of the charge.-The little breath
remaining in him should be spent in de-
nouncing such report as base and
brutal SANDER. 81 am living witness
yet, thank God, said the brave old man,
"of the almost womanly tenderness with
which that strong arm, so terrible in
fight, can smooth the pillow of sickness,
and touch the writing form of the
wounded-of the gentle tones in which
that voice, SO harsh and powerful on the
field of battle, can whisper consolation
to the dying, and words of hope and
comfort to the suffering" A great sem
sation was produced by the appearance
OF these old veterans"
