TOMATOES

A correspondent'of the Genosee Far
'ier gives full instructions as to the best
mode for growing tomatoes--so delicious
an esculent to many. He forwards his
plants in a hot bed; then grows them in
pots till foot high; and turns them out
ip May planting them them three feet a.
part in rows. When planted he drives
down a few stakes, six or eight feet apart,
leaving them about four feet high the
whole length of the rows, and mailing a
strip of wood all along the tops, and ty-
ing, one or two, pieces lower down the
stakes, to- make a trellis. The ground
should be dug deep, and make rich with
manure, and a spoonful of guano mixed
With the soil around each root. He con-
.tinues: ,fv.sri7r tss75 -- sd "a vas.o,. ,
When they have grown sufficiently long
to tie to the trellis, select two or three
of the strongest shoots and tie them loose
ly to the trellis, cutting away all other
small laterals which may grow on the
main branches. let these main branches
grow until they have come in. flower and
set the first bunch of fruit, then 1 pinch
out the top, one joint above the fruit leav-
ing the leaf entire. / then allow, it to go
on again until it has fowcred, and set an
other bunch Of fruit, when the top is
pinched out one leaf above the bunch, the
same as the first, and so on all the rest,
taking care to cut out all the latcrals which
may grow on the, main branches down to
the axles of. the leaves, as often as they
are produced, but leaving the leaves entire.
If any one will take this little extra trou-
bic, ne will be amply paid and absolutely
rastonished at the immense clusters of fine
large tomatoes he will have. If planted
in a favorable situation, they will ripen at
least as early as those grown any other way
out of doors, and frequently three days or
10 week earlier. When ripe they will hang
longer on the vines without decaying.-
/ The situation can hardly be too sunny
Deep, light, loamy soil suits them best. i

GRowEse WEALTH OF rnE CouNrkr.--

GROWING w WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY
The accumulation of wealth in this coun-
try has been vast, and some estimate of it's
extent may be formed if we recur to the
official figures within our reach in relation
to some items of fixed capital, the large
amount of which invested in manufactures,
ship building, railroads, houses and stores,
has all been derived from home resources,
The number of houses in the United
States, by census, is 1888, ,427, and free
families 1857 ,24o, or nearly one for each
family. If the dwellings increase in the
proportion Of the population. then the
number Of houses built in the last six years
was 66S, 900; atan average of s1,O0r, this
would give 1868, 100000, or 100000, 900
with furniture The tonnage of shipping
built has been I, ,43s; the value Of rail-
roads s2s7, 100000; new banks, capital at
$65,0O0,0O0. These items alone make the
