We must refer in terms of eulogy to the high
tone and varied excellence of HARPERs MAGA
zINE-a journal with monthly circulation of
about 10, 600 copicslight and general read ing
of the day. We speak of this work as an evil
dence of the culture of the American People !;
and the popularity it has acquired is melted.
Each number contains fully l44 pages of read
ing-matter, appropriately illustrated withgood
Wood-cuts; and it combines in itself the racy
monthly and the more philosophical quarterly,
blended with the best features of the daily Jour
nal. 1t has great power in the dissemination

ToMAToEs.--Growers of this popular
vegetable may be interested in the fol-
lowing:
According to the French mode Of rails
ing tomatoes, as soon as the cluster OF
flowers is visible the stem is topped down
to the cluster, so that the flowers termin-
ate the stem. The effect is that the SAP
IS Immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which soon
push strongly and produce another clus-
ter of flowers each When these arc
visible the branch to which they belong
is also topped down to their level, and
this lsdone successfully. By this means
the plants become stout dwarf bushes, not
over eighteen inches high In order to
prevent their falling over, sticks or strings
are stretched horizontally along the rows,
SO as to keep the plants erect. In addi-
ton to this, all tho laterals whatsoever
are nlpped off. In this way the ripe sap
IS directed into the fruit, which acquires
a beauty, size and excellence unattaina-
bic by other means.
