RAW ToMAToEs-The almost universal
popularity of the tomato has led to
great variety of ways of eating 1t. Proba-
bly, more are consumed raw than in any
other way. The manner Of dressing them
varies greatly. Some use only vinegar
and salt. Others, vinegar, salt and oil,
and others again, vinegar and sugar. We
often see them served with regular salad
dressing, but the general way is to place
them upon the plate plain, and allow each
one 10 prepare them to suit his own fan
cy. They are usually sliced with their
skins on, but those who are very particu-
lar about such matters scald and peel
them before slicing, and the slices are put
with pieces of ice to cool them and restore
their frmness. Tomatoes, when eaten
raw, show the qualities of the different
varieties better than when cooked.-ADler-

How TO TREAT KICKING Cows.-A
friend told us the other day of a method
of treatment that he had found successful
| in curing COWS Of the habit of kicking
while being MIXED. 1t is as follows As
the COW stands in the stancheon, he puts
bull.ring in her nose, throws the rope
attached to the ring over beam or girt
above the head of the COW, and drawing
her head as high as possible without rails
ing her feet from the floor, makes fast the
end of the rope. The cow cannot kick
while standing in this strained position,
and the milking process is then conducted
gently and rapidly. AS soon as she learns
that she has nothing to fear from the
mixer, but everything to fear from the
ring-aHd this knowledge shs is said to
acquire rapidly-she is cured of her disa'
greeable habit. A young heiter may often
be thus cured by a single application

ASHES A Specific FOR FRUIT TREES
Z DIR. George b. Wood, of Philadelphia
]. has communicated to the American Phil
8 osophical Society, of which he is Presi
e dent, the results of experiments made b,
: hinA, which indicate that unlesched WOO
: ashes applied around peach and appl
/ trees give them renewed life and activity
|, and greatly promote vigorous bearing
c Dscaying trees have been wonderful,
e stimulated into healthy growth by diggin
: four or five inches deep around the bas
t of the stem, scraping away the worms
s and filing the hollow thus made wit
e fresh wood ashes. This was done in tn
g fall Of 1868, and the following spring the
o put forth bright, green leaves, and Dor
j. q crop of fruit far exceeding anythin
: they had done previously. All of b
/ orchards so treated give promise
e great crops OF fruit also this Preser
