Tomato Culture.

No vegetable or fruit if that term be
preferred, ever gained so great popularity
in so few years as the tomato. Within
our recollection it was only found in few
gardens, and cultivated only as a curiosity,
while now its cultivation and use is as
universal as that of almost any other fruit.
There is no doubt but it is a healthful
fruit and should be grown even more ex-
tensively than now. We annex some
very good suggestions concerning the to-
mato from the Rural NeU Yorker.
''Seed from fruit which ripens earliest
win produce the earliest next season; and
if properly grown, and from the best
variety, will give the desirable qualities
of earliness size, solidity, fewness of seeds,
beauty of form, thickness of skin, delica-
cy of flavor, and richness of color. All
that is wanted is few inches of rather
light, rich soil, the box in the sunshine in
warm, well ventilated room; the box
covered with glass to counterfeit the dry
ness of the atmosphere. The plants once
growing must receive no check from the
want of care. A few plants well grown
will be worth far more than any number
of those crowded TO suffocation in deal
ers' hot-beds."

and would make an agreeable episode t.
the eternal round of salt junk and pork.
and be far more healthy than either.
Those who est principally salted meats
show 1t in their complexions, their skin
being less fair and smooth Pork, at best,
eaten constantly produces irritation and
eruption of the skin. Then let all manu.
facturers, mechanics, and all men who
are interested to have COED meat and the
board of operatives cheap and wholesome.
see to 1t that mutton raising and wool
growing are properly encouraged, as a
matter of health and economy. Meat is
great item in the expense of board of
operatives, etc. If we grow our own
wool we shall always have mutton plenty
and cheap. This win affect materially
the price of other meat, and the whole
people, including the manufacturers,
would probably gain as much by cheaper
meats as they would lose by protective
duty on wool; FOR, encouraged, both wool
and mutton would be plenty and cheap

Kni.c Shecp and Eat nEutton.

Good mutton, well fatted and neatly
butchered, is the most wholesome, nutri
clous and cheapest of meats. 1t grows
quickly, and costs little to produce it COM
nared with beef and pork. Every farmer
should have few long wool Cosset sheep,
AT least-Cotswold or Leicesters. They
are little trouble, and will keep fat on the
orts of the cattle. They usually bring
two lambs, which will sell to the butchers
for from eight dollars to ten dollars by
the 1st of July. Their fleece avera9, IS
eight to fourteen pounds, with from SIX
teen to twenty-five per cent shrunk only.
Their wool is now, and will be, in the
future, worth thirty per cent more than
merino, which shrinks forty-five to sixty
per cent, according TO the family and
treatment of the flock. Long wool
makes strong, excellent and durable stock
ing warn, though it is mostly used to
make the brilliant, light and lustrous
Orleans goods, for the apparel OF
orr pretty women. Two such sheep
win Weld as much profit as common
cow, and five of them can he kept as
cbeap as a cow in milk. Their lambs

Corns ON Horses, Feet.

A Racine, Wis, blacksmith cured very
deer. seated corns on a mare in this way
81 commenced with vigorous pairing; in
fact pared them all that could without
cutting through to the quick. / then
fitted the shoes altogether upon the con-
cave style, and in such manner that they
did not bear on or crowd the affected part
of the foot, and in six or seven shOeings
the last vestige of corns had entirely dis
appeared, and she is now able to trot her
mile in four minutes. If man has a
horse with a bad corn in his foot, find it
an excellent plan to thin the heel of the
shoe down on the inside, almost as thin
as a knife-blade; then weld a steel cork
crossways of the shoe, say two inches
from the heel. By this means you throw
the bearing completely off the corn, and
the cern grows out with the foot Only
keep the shoes from bearing on the corns,
and shoe regularly at not too long inter
walls, and the corn must get well"

Wild as the wood-doves catches,
And the sound Of her dainty fnger-tips
Plumbing about our latches.
And AAy-she dear, delicious May
When we hear her laughter,
Quickly we jump and out we troop
In gay procession after.

How TO Have Healthy Chickens.

HhOh ~ NAV
A writer in the Rural Neo0 Yorker
tells how he keeps his chickens healthy.
We give the following extract: The way
keep my fowls in health, l clean out the
house once a week; put wood ashes I'M
der the roosts; have iron basins for them
to drink from; whitewash inside of hen
house with hot lime; put a little kerosene
oil on the rOosts once a month. The main
food is oats and cake of scraps to pick
on. never feed but once a day-at noon
or when l shut them up at four or five in
the afternoon When they run out then
give them all they viii eat In my expe-
rience there is no easier way to get dis
eased fowls than to keep them stuffed. 1t
makes them lazy, and they don't work as
much as they ought to keep in healthy
-3,ndition. | never had any gapes in
chickens. When fowls begin to droop I
give them three large pills of common
hard yellow soap; it is the best thing to
cleanse a fowl l know of. l follow it for
three days; give them nothing to eat, and
plenty of pure water to drink. In des-
perate cases give half teaspoonful of
tincture of lobelia
The roupy fowl should be taken away
from the rest if possible, at least during
the day, so that it cannot drink where the
other fowls do The head and eyes of the
sick fowl should be washed once or twice
a day in tepid weather, and give the fowl
one grain of sulphate of copper dissolved
in water, and feed the fowl as much as
possible on green food, such as cabbage
leaves or celery. Keep the sick bird away
from cold winds. If taken in time this
treatment win save every bird.

especially if the. grass cut from it is
stacked thereon and fed afterwards. =
This is the work to be Cone in all our
Southern country. To cover up their
broad surfaces with something or other,
and to keep them covered. The means of
doing this is not confined to one or two
plants; there are many that viii do,
though some may be better than others.
Tillage lands must be contracted and so
fertilized that one acre will do the work
of three. This can be done with the help
of some of the valuable fertilizers of the
market for cotton, tobacco, ETC., but the
lands thrown outside of this high culture
must be covered up and given to cattle
and sheep Baltimore Sum-

Save Ihc Best Calves.

a writer in one of our exchanges says:
The points that indicate the good COW
are discernible IN the calf, and why not2
Thissmay stagger some dairymen, but that
is just what we wish to do. This whole
sale slaughtering of calves in the spring
is wrong. A calf win show good milk
colored udder as well as COW, healthy
thrifty look and strong loin as well as a
COW. And these points make up the good
cow every time. Let the breed be what
it may, this is our experience in the mat
ter. A calf that is worth ten or fifteen
dollars should not be killed for its mere
hide, for the lack of judgment in select
ing.

HurIey's Popular Worm Candy.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the

is not surprising that it is fast taking the place Of

other worm remedies known to me- with but par

The Apple BOrer.

DR.. Hull's mode of applying soap, TO
exclude the borer las stated in the Prai-

Eboiling point to render it liquid, and while
the soap is hot to apply it with white
wash brush TO the trunks of the trees,
from the ground up as high as the attack
of the borer is to be apprehended"-the
application to be made about the first of
June. The Country Gentleman says:
''We have for years tried similar RENE
dy, which much lessened the attacks of
borers, but did not wholly exclude them.
We have found it necessary to go over
subsequently and dig out any young Dor
ers with the point of the knife

Gentlemen-This is to certify that have been for
years a sufferer, and tried all the tonics ever
heard Of or advertised, with little no relief

faith in it before 1 commenced, and to my sur
prise and joy, before finished one bottle, felt
great deal better, and firmly believe that or
two occasions it was the means OF saving and pro-
longing my life. l conscientiously recommend
them to all sufferers as the best bitters known, and
advise them to always ask for Dr. T. A. Huriey's,

proper, if it will benefit others.
