VINO WOULD NOT BE A FARMER?-The
Louisville Courier pays the following tri-
butte to the occupation of the farmer:
If a young man wants to engage in
business that will insure him, in middle
life, tho greatest amount of leisure time,
there is nothing more sure than farming.
Ifhe has an independent urn of mind
let him be a farmer. Ifhe wants to en-
gage in a healthy occupation let him-till
the SOIL In short, if he would be indie
pendent, let him get a spot of earth,
keep within his means, to shun the law
yer; be temperate, to avoid the doctor;
be honest, that he may have a clear con-
science improve the soil, so as to leave
the world better than he found it and
then if he cannot live happily and die
content, there is no hope for him.

Tomatoes "A correspondent of the
Genesee Farmer gives his mode ofgrow-
ing tomatoes. He forwards his plants
in a hot bed or green house, and grows
them in pots until they are a foot or a
foot and ahalf high, turning them out
about the second week in May. He
plants them three feet apart 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 row, and mailing a strip of
wood all along the tops, and tying one
or two lower down the stakes to make
a trellis.. The ground should be dug
deep and made rich with manure, and
a spoonful of guano mixed with the soil
around each root. W. quote:
"When they have grown sufficiently
longfo tie to tie TROLLS, I select two or
three of the longest shoots and tie them
loosely to the t%rellis, cutting away all
other small l~aterals which may grow
on the main branches. L let these main
branches grow until they have cone in
flower and set the first bunch Of fruit.
and then I pinch out the top, one joint
above the fruit, leaving tho leaf entire.
I then allow it to go on again until it
has lowered and set another bunch of
fruit. when the top is pinched cut one
leaf above the bunch, the same as the
first and SO On all the rest, taking care
to cnt al the ~iaterals which may grow
on the main branches down to the azles
of the leaves, as often as they arc pro-
dueed, but leaving the leaves entire
If any one will take this little extra
trouble, he will be amply repaid and ab-
solutely astonished at the immense clus-
tiers 81 fine large tomatoes he viii have.
If planted in favorable situation, they
viii ripen at least as early as those grown
in any ether way ont of doors, and fire.
quentiy three days or week earlier
When ripe they viii hang longer on the
vine without decaying. The situation can
hardly be too sunny. Deep, light. loamy
soil suits them Rest.
