TOMATO CULTURE.-The cultivation of this vegit-
able is comparatively recent in this country Thirty
years ago it was hardly known except in the gar
dens Of the curious, and among those seafareng
people whose business had led them TO the Vest In
dies and South American ports.
1t has been much longer established in France
and Spain, and was introduced into those countries
from their SouthAmerican possessions where it ORR
ginated. Thousands of acres are cultivated to sup
ply the demands Of our large cities, and so album
dant is the yield of the vines that in their season
they among the cheapest of vegetables. They
are also made into catsup, pickles, sliced and dried
for winter use, and lately it has become quite com
mon to seal them up in cans, in which they pre-
serve their flavor admirably, and can be had fresh
and good the year round.
There are numerous varieties. of which the LARGE
smooth red is the most popular for market and the
mammoth much the best flavor for family use This
we have raised for several years. and have frequent

peTpetUate itself in the garden unless pains are tax
en- to destroy it. But this is a careless method of
growing Them and they deteriorate in size and Quail
ity, unless the seeds of the best fruit are saved and
planted.
They are commonly forced by planting single seeds
IN pots in February, and putting them out the last
OF May already in blossom. The pot is then well
filled with roots, and as none are broken in turning
them out, they get along rapidly and give fruit in
July. These potted plants are to be had ofthe mar
ket gardeners at this season, and dozen of them
will supply common family
For the main crop for picking and for preserving
IN cans, seeds the first Of this month will ma
ture sufficiently early When the pants are nut ont
about four feet apart, they should have FREQUENT
hoeng, to facilitate the forming and rpening Of the
fruit. Most Of the blossoms are put out within two
feet Of the roots, and the shortenngin of the plant
forces It's energies to fruit bearing The fruit will be
larger under this treatment, and will be some DAYS
earlier.
Some cultivatOrs lay bush down for the vines to |
run on, and others tie them up upon a lattice. We
think both these methods retard the ripening The
heat of the earth in August is of great service in
maturing this fruit The early plants should have a
southern exposure under fence or walL-Amsieaa

PoRK.--A fat hog is the very quint-
essence Of scrofula and carbonic acid
gas, and he who eats it must not ex.
pect thereby to build up a sound phys
leal organism. While it contributes
heat, there is not twentieth part of
it nitrogen, the base of muscle.
This is sound practical truth. Fat
pork was never designed for human
food it is material for breath and
nothing more; see Liebig and other
organic chemists and psychologists ;
it makes no red meat or muscle the
prize fighter is not allowed to eat it ;
in fact, all that is not consumed by
the lungs romans only to clog the
body with fat.

THE BETTER LAND.--Our relatives
in eternity outnumber our relatives
in time. The catalogue of the living
we love becomes less, and in anticipa-
tion we see the perpetually lengthen-

their flight our affections grow gradu-
ally less glued to earth and more allied
to Heaven. 1t is not in vain that the
images of the departed children, and
near and dear ones, are laid up in
memory, as in picture gallery, from
which the ceaseless surge of this

They wait there for the light of the
resurrection day, to stand forth holy,

A BEAUTIFUL TRUTH.-Beniamin r
Taylor, the author of "January and

Chicago Journal, never uttered more
truthful and beautiful sentiment (and
he has spoken many) than when he
said that "she who has been q good
daughter, loving wife and an old
fashioned mother, is pretty near ready
for an abundant entrance into the
Kingdom of Heaven. A home with
out a girl in it is only half blest it
is an orchard without blossoms, and

of sons is like Lebanon with its ce-
