French Method of Raising Tomatoes.

AS soon as a cluster of flowers is visible,
the stem is topped down to the cluster, so
that the flowers terminate the stem. The
effect is, that the sap is Immediately impell-
ed in the two buds next below the clus-
ter, which soon push strongly and produce
another cluster Of flowers each.
When these are visible, the branch to
which they belong is also topped down TO
their level, and this is done successfully
BY this means tho plants become stout
dwarf bushes, not above eighteen inches
high. In order to prevent their falling
over, sticks or strings are stretched hori-
zontally along the rows. SO as to keep the
plants erect. In addition to this, al the
lateras that have no flowers, and after the
fifth topping. all laterals whatsoever are
nipped off. In this way the ripe sap is
directed into the fruit. which acquires a
beauty, size and excellence unattained by
other means.

The following article from Rursl World
is seasonable and TO the point
There is no substitute for English hay
equal to the common n1illet, on farms where
a sufficient extent Of meadow is not already
established Indeed We believe 1t is a.
ready admitted by intelligent farmers that
for horses and working oxen, good millet
hay is more nutritious and better liked by
them than timothy hay. Millet is a rapid
growing cFop,>requiring bat few weeks
to mature 10, and when sown on light,
warm. well prepared soil, will yield more
hay per acre than the best timothy meadow.
It may be sown during any leisure spell
from the middle Of May to the last Of June,
though probably the best time to SOW the
seed is the first good, moist season that oc-
ours after the middle OF May. No crop
pays better for well prepared, mellow
soil One bushel of seed is sufficient for
two or three acres, according to the strength
Of the soil. No attempt should be made
to secure from the same crop both seed
and hay. When it is desired to raise seed,
half or two thirds Of the above quantity
of seed is sufficient to sow. When seed is
the object, it is much better 10 grow it in
drills.
For hay, it should be harvested while the
seeds are soft, and before but a small Por-
ton of the stems have turned yellow, In
curing, it should be exposed to the sun
ouly SO long as is necessary for it to wilt,
and expel the external moisture /. should
then be put up in cocks until cured, which
in good weather, win require but a short
time.
Mllet, cut up and wet and sprinkled with
little corn meal or wheat shorts, makes
as good feed for mich COWS as can be gi
en- them-they not only thrive on it. but !
Will greatly increase the quantity of milk.

An Item for Housawizes.

The following is said to be very efectual
process for rendering tough meat eatable.
Cut it out and when victimized by unprin-
cipled butchers put it to the test:
ITO those VINO have worn their teeth
down in masticatng poor, old, COW beef,
we will say carbonate ofsoda will be found
a remedy for the evil. Cut the steaks the
day before using into slices about two in
ches thick, rub over them small quantity
of soda, wash off next morning. cut into
suitable thickness and cook to notion. The
same process will answer for fowls, legs OF
mutton, etc. Try it, all who love delicious
tender dishes of meat"

literature for depraved imaginations. these

say that if journals did not receive them they
