THE signal system has been restored on
the Hudson River railroad. On one hun
dred and forty-four miles Of track there
are Just one hundred and forty-seven flag
men and signal men, whose sole duty it is
to "see that there are no distractions of any
kind 10 render travel dangerous" and to
display signals Of safety or danger TO every
passing train. These are exclusive of flag
men, switchmen, and all others employed
at the forty odd stations, who also provide
for the security of passengers and property.
After the passage Of each train by day and
night, men walk every rod Of the track,
inspecting every rail, chair aud tie, and in
form the signal men if there be any neces-
sity for stopping the next train.

Early Tomatoes aud Cucumbers.

A correspondent Of the Farm and Fire,
SIDE says he gets tomatoes and cucumhers
two or three weeks earlier than they are
usually found in Northern markets by
adopting the following plan: our to-
mato practice is to scrape ont two dozen
fair sized turnips 10 thin shells, all them
with rich garden mould, plant few seeds
in each, place them in a box of earth,
covering quite up to the top, place the
box in warm room. After the plants
are up, water when required, give hight
and out door air on all pleasant warm
days. Select the strongest plant in each
shell to grow, pulling ont the others.
Pinch back two vigorous shoots, urge
stout, stocky growth by frequent slight
feedings of tepid sour mjlk-sometlmes
weak soap-suds, and when the frost sea-
son il fairly past set turnip shells, too
mato plants and all in the outdoor soil
where they are to grow, and they will go
right on growing without any hesitation
or standing still, as they do coming from
a hot>bed. Cucumbers we persuade for
ward in the same manner planting them
in blocks of turf instead OF turnip shells,
and almost always we have tomatoes and
cucumbers we'll set on the vines before
setting them in out door position. Gu
cumbers, white, crisp, cool, tender, ais
most seedless, free from all unpleasant
earthly taste, and as delicate and delicious
rs cucumbers can be, may be induced by
simply placing small fruit within q sec
ton OF draintile hower-pot, or old bottle
with the neck knocked of, covering them
from the sunlight and growing them to
"a bla-ize in the dark,

lected OF uniform size, whatever that size
may be, they are deposited evenly.
The depth 10 which the covering should
be done is obviously matter Of consider
able importance. If too deep, the shoots
will be long, and reaching the surface and
the general growth will be retarded
If too shallow, there will be danger of in
jury from drouth. Generally, potatoes do
best when planted as early as good pulverf-
zation will admit, at which time the earth
Is commonly moist enough to allow depth
OF covering Of not more than two or two
az 2 half inches. How far deeper or
shalIowsr covering would affect the amount
Of the crop, under varying circumstance
and seasons, would be worthy series Of
experiments.
A great point is to avoid, as much as
possible, the labor Of hand-hoeing. Much
may be done by previous clean cultivation.
The next thing is TO harrow the whole sur
face with short-toothed harrow, Tor with
the teeth Of a common harrow driven
back just before the plants come up.
Generally about this time the weeds in the
soil will be Just making their appearance.
A good narrowing, when they are only
half an inch high, will be incompirably
| better and more effective than after they
have grown some inches. This practice
obyiates the necessity Of early hoeing, as it
| kills the weeds in the row. Some cultiva-
| tors harrow again when the plants are two
or three inches high for, although a few
/ Of the plants are injured or broken, they
soon recover, and the saving Of hand labor is
| Of greater consequence. II done with an old
harrow, the teeth OF which have become
rounded and worn 80 as {, point backwards,
| there will be less danger of cutting the
| plants-this second growth of weeds being
80 small as to be easily destroyed, while the
potato plants are scarcely injured. 1t is
| important that these operations be done
| exactly at the right time, as a few days
| would alter the whole aspect. The subse-
quent cultivation may be performed by
suitable horse cultiyators for throwing the
earth towards the rows and rounding the
surface slightly.
Any one may become thoroughly salts
fed Of the great superiority of the routine
just described, namely, clean soil, deep
cultivation, mellow and smooth surface,
and hoing by haTowing-oyer the more
common practice Of blowing shallow, form
ing a hard or cloddy surface, planting
wholly by hand, and imperfectly at that,
| forming crooked rows, which cannot be
cultivated closely 10 the plants, and hoing
| by hand when the weeds are a foot high
| by observing the results side by side, and
comparing the heavy cost and meager crop
of the last described mode with the cheaper
| process and heavier products of the former.
