Growing the Tomato.

One would suppose that at this late day
we knew pretty much all about cultivatins
the Tomato: but it seems that we do not.
inaSmuch as we daily see recommendations
as to the best mode of getting the most
fruit, from all quarters, even from persons
that one would suppose had flight il little
higher than specializing in tomato seed,
and undertaking. fancy men as they are. to
tell us cd practical cultivators how to raise
them. Some people trail the vines over
elaborate trcsSle-work or frames. at no lit
tie expense; others trelliS them; others
stick them with brush about the size or lit
tie larger than that used for peas: others
simply throw brush down for them to run
over: and others allow the vines to creep
over the ground without any support, only
previously mulching the ground with grass
or straw
We have tried every mode here mention
ed. and we have found that whether the
plants are stuck, brushed, trellsed, frame
worked Or allowed TO run unsupported over
the ground, the yield is about the same
We prefer the sticking process 1t pro
duces full as great a crop as any othe"
mode. with only half the trouble and eN-
penSc. and looking more picturesque and
not so artificial as the trellScS and frames;
and if the brush is firmly inserted in the
ground, it admits of passing between the
rows to pick the fruit. When the vines
are allowed to run over the ground unsup-
ported. however much the ground may be
mulched. the flavor of the tomato is more
or less extracted hy the natural attraction
of the soil. by which the fruit is rendered
almost worthless: besides the vines are all
in a mass, and to get at the fruit is incon-
venient to the picker and injurious to the
crop.-G erMNnt0rM IeleqrNph.

As evidence Of the great value Of cot
ton seed as "A fertilizer-and particularly
as showing what constitutes that value
we copy the following extract from the
! Southern Farm and Home:
! In one Of my communication 10 your
paper, promised 10 say something In re-
ference TO cotton seed rs n fertilizer. What
principle IL il that renders il 10 powerful
particularly ON corn, wheat aud oats.
during a seasonable Year, We answer
unhesitatingly, nitrogen, which being
converted into ammonia in the soil makes
il the cheapest and most valuable source
Of ammonia we have.
The amount Of nitrogen in cotton seed
will vary somewhat, according b. the
quality Of seed used, the seas0nablonoss
Of the year when il is grown, aud soil on
which il grows Thus cotton seed grown
on good land, with plenty Of rain Is rich
er in nitrogen than when grown on poor
land Of dry year Seed from cotton
gathered in August and September will
average better than the last pickings
Hence, the difference in the analysis of
different chemists. As nn average We
may safely put down seven per cent of
nitrogen, equal 10 "A little more than eight
per cent. Of ammonia Fifteen huu,f.
pounds of seed cotton will make go9l
bale Of cotton, leaving 100 pounds Of seed.
For every bale Of cotton, then. the plan
ter has seed enough left b. make eighty
pounds Of ammonia. One ton Of cotton
seed then, IL worth as much as a half ton
Of Peruvian GuanO, a. heterogeneous
manure, batting the expense Of shOyclling.
hauling and application.
From the best estimate that we can
make, cotton thrown out at Christmas 90
take the rains, heat, and rot, loses by tho
time il il applied % corn, about one half
Of its ammonia. Heated cotton seed
then, is worth, as far as the nitrogen or
ammonia is concerned, about az one ton
Of best Peruvian guano 10 four Of the
seed Experiments with mashed and
heated cotton seed have demonstrated
this fact, and IL the seed Is left b. rot en-
tirely, il Is worth no more than 80 much
dirt. When rain falls upon a heap Of
cotton seed, and heat Is produced suiii-
cient 10 destroy the germ, fermentation
takes place instantly, and then dcc0mpo-
sition, Some Of the nitrogen escapes as
such, and some uniting with the escaping
hydrogen Of the seed, forms ammonia,
which clings 10 the water, yet remaining
in the heap, or as il is lighter than tho
atmosphere, escapes with the other case
Gus elements Of the decomposing mass.
But every particle Of water that j. evap-
GRATED from the heap by the intense heat,
carries of ammonia with IT, What an
incalculable loss 10 the cotton planters Of
the South, all the result Of this foolish
mode Of heating cotton seed like their
progenitors did.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-08-04

We extract the following from the Liv-
erpool circular of Messrs. Watts & Co.,
under date July Sth:
The visible supply we now estimate, a.
per our table above, at l7a2G0 bales more
than last year, and $3.50 bales less than the
year before. We have this week examined
and compared n number OF estimates made
up by leading authorities. giving la addi-
ton 70 the figures contained IN our table
the clearanees from Bombay TO all Europe
up 10 the close Of June, the stock on ship
board at Bombay, and at all the continental
ports 10 same date. and striking the average
we find the excess on the LIST inst. as COM
pared With last year was about 100000 bales,
and as compared With the year before there
was a deficit OF 10000. Now, il should be
noticed that theAe estimates do not take in
10 account the stocks held by spinners In
this country, which, as shown by our last
report. was estimated at 10000 bales. against
10000 last year. and 10000 the year before
This would reduce the present excess as
compared with last year to 10000 bales,
and Increase the deficit as compared with
1865 10 2i0,O00 bales.
The supply OF American cotton in and
afioas for this port now amounts to 409,G40
bales. The deliveries trade aud EXPORT
for the past Fix weeks. of all descriptions.
have amounted to only 5O,34s bales. ofwhich
3D,21 were American. equal to GO per cent.
AT this rate our supply OF American would
be entirely exhausted by the close of the
first week In October. IL IL therefore evil
dent that in order 20 have even a very mod
crate stock In October and November we
must not only get che entire excess In pres
ant stocks at the American ports, but must
materially curtail consumption. At pres
ent American Is without doubt relatively
cheaper than any other description, and so
long as this Is the case consumption will
doubtless continue on Its present large scale.

which emigrated to France after the fall Of

given.
Francois Certain Canrobert, commander
of the Fourth Corps, IL a native Of Brittany,

whom we just named, first saw active ser
vice in Africa. In 1854 he was appointed
TO the command Of the first division, and
participated ia the celebrated battles Of Al

France on account OF impaired health, but
subsequently distinguished himself at
