Tomatoes to Ripen Them Early.

First, have stout, tapering plants, by
giving them plenty of room, sunlight and
air, from the commencement of growth.
Then study the habits of the plant, and
you will see that, from the main stem, it
throws out, at intervals, long rough leaves (;
and at a later period, from above the
junction of these leaves with the stem,
start out secondary stems with the same
multiply themselves until you have a
large vine, and plenty of small green fruit,
necessarily late in ripening. for the reason
that the force of the plant has been spend
ing in producing vine. Do not wait thus
long and think to remedy the matter by
slashing off the vine at random, to let in
sunlight, as is common practice. Begin
with the plant in time, and train it to suit
you.
The time to begin trimming is just when
the first cluster of flower buds appear
This will generally be at the junction of the
further fifth leaf mentioned. At this time
the secondary stems will be seen just
starting above the junction of all the
leaves below. Here begin your work.
Pinch them all off at once, and
when they start out again, as
they will, pinch off again until you con-
quer. You have now stopped the making
Of vine below this cluster of flower buds,
and all the strength and juices of the plant
are sent upwards pushing forward the
cluster of flowers and the secondary stems
above. After little, commence your
work above, and pinch off all these sec
ondary stems, except enough to leave five
or six clusters of fruit Your vine, so long
as you continue to pinch off these stems
is checked both top and bottom. Keep il
tied up to strong stake, and in due time
your vine will be almost completely hid
den by mass of ripe fruit, all in the sun
light.

"Let Us Have Peace"

WHERE in the world is the universal
reform which Rapu blican newspapers
and orators promised the country should
follow the elevation Of Mr.. Grant to the
Presidency? Besides the principle Of
hero-worship which is so religiosly Oh
served in this country, Mr. Grants aph-
orism of Let US have peace did more
for his cause than any other agency.
Shall the public accept Sprague's descrip-
ton of this peaceful state of affairs?
The foreign service was to be re-
modelled in such way as to command
for the United States that respect from ali
nations which is her due. Is this to be
accomplished by the representation OF
such men as Sickles, and j. Russell Jon es,
and Washburne, OF GalenaS The coll &C.
ton of the revenue was hencefOrth to be
thorough and easy. Yet whisky is st i'll
selling below the cost of manufactur e !;
and the tax is not paid into the treasury,
or such could not be the case. Whisky is
a fair gauge for all other taxable articles.
Above all, the country WAS at once to be
relieved of all present and future embar-
rassment by the declaration that the public
debt should be paid in gold, and by the
rapid decrease in the enOrmity OF this pub
lie debt. Yet, when has money been so
scarce and trade so dull? the complaint
is not confined to any one place, or TO a
few places, and cannot be considered as
merely local. 1t comes from all portions
of the land The South is no more likely
now to contribute its wealth of resource
to the general benefit of the nation than
it was before it was represented In Con
gress by carpet. baggers, and Grant elected

pressed and suspicious; the monetary
atmosphere is sitting; the material affairs
are at stand still.
1t has been but couple of months since
Grant was inaugurated President, and al
ready are the Republican journals begin
ming a denunciation of him. just as they
begun the denunciation of Mr.. Johnson,
whom they also elected. Such qualifica-
tions as "honest," disposed" etc,
as used in an article Of the stamp which
The Chicago Tribune printed a day or two
ago, are of little weight, when the real
objections of incompetency and favoritism
are advanced, and acknowledged as being
the cOmmOn-talk of the country. The
treasury and state departments, the judi
ciary and naval offices, are in as unsatis-
factory condition as ever. The late Con
gress showed that it was no better fitted
I for the emergencies of the time than that
which preceded 1t.

Pruning and TransplantIng.

THE principle cannot be too often re-
peated and too thoroughly understood,
that pruning tree in spring after the buds
have expanded, or later when in full
growth, always checks its vigor to great
er or less degree. This check is greatest
in the cherry and least in the peach. 1t
is nearly as severe in the pear, and less so
in the apple. But in all these trees,
greater or less check is given by pruning
after the buds have opened. Whatever
cutting away may be needful, should
therefore be done early. Young trees
which have been budded last summer
should be headed down before the buds
swell, and the same care taken in grating
young trees in which the removal of the
top is required. Early grating is less
essential in large trees, where but small
portion needs removal in the operation.
Suckers, which sprout up around larger
orchard trees, may be most easily taken
off later in spring by placing the foot,
covered with thick cOwhide boot, on the
sucker, or between it and the tree, and
then giving the shoot a sudden jerk with
both hands-which for this purpose should
be furnished with good buckskins. If
these suckers have commenced growing;
they will be less likely to start again.
In transplanting it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the ground be in good con
dition - deep, mellow and properly
drained. Spread out the small roots of
the trees while setting, that they may
serve as braces all around, and hold the
trees firmly in the soil. Fill up all the in-
terstices among the roots, and especially
just below the foot of the stem, which is
most apt to be left with cavity. Cut
back the young shoots of the head of the
tree, so as to give it good even SYM
metrical form, taking out all super
numerary twigs, and making it as light as
may be. This must be done before the
buds swell, as we have already explained,
or it will do more harm than good.-C6un-
