THE QUEENS COUNTY FAIR.
Closing Scenes Yesterday.

Closing Scenes Yesterday.
The weather yesterday was anything but delight
full upon the great Hampstead Plains. The wind
blew furiously, and early In the morning the dust
rolled about the grounds in impenetratable Clouds
The rain which fell during the day made 1t feel more
cold than 1t really was The cattle shivered in their
pens and the people betook themselves to the
hall. Wrapped in shawls and cloaks they perspected
on almost everything, and made sad havoc
among the fruits and jellies and rendered their
persons sweet by the adornment of flowers.
The specimens OF horses were by far finer than
on the previous day, and the trotting about the
same, but would have been better had the track
been In better condition and the weather more
favorable The show Of Jupiter and Hambletonian
stations was fine, especially the two year.solds.
The rain suddenly terminated the show Of horses.
Shortly after noon the exhibitors OF stock began re-
moving them and the owners OF articles In the hall
did the same, and soon the place was left DESC
late and alone Over three thousand dollars were
paid out in premiums. The society should erect
number ofpumps by next year, as lack OF water Is
one great inconvenience. The forty acres owned by
the society will be enclosed for the next exhibition
The embryo city OF A. T. Stewart attracted the atten.
ton OF city visitors. There are about 200 miles OF
avenues and sidewalks laid out and graded and
many blocks are fenced IN. The railroad from VAL
ley Stream Is to be pushed forward rapidly as pos
sible, and when communication Is established the
erection OF houses Will commence.

The Tomato-And its Culture.

This fruit. long known as the love ap-
p,c," and said to have come from the far
south, has rapidly gained favor wherever
grown. 1t is susceptible Of great improve
meut though it has generally received less
attention than most garden vegetables
While under careful culture they have
been long 10 reaching their present state,
the tomato has been comparatively short
time under culture, and yet, nature has
done so much for il that it already holds
high rank among our finest fruits Of the
garden. Many medical men claim for it
valuable hygienic qualities, and the human
system-that most perfect of all laborato.
ries-has confirmed the decision. 1t is
dclicately acid, cooling, and healthful. In
hot weather our children seize the golden
Glove apples" aud quench their thirst,
while We all use them at our tables.
Since this fruit must be brought to per
lection, Why grow coarse, unsightly,
spougy, ill-davored tomatoes, when BY at
tending to a few simple, but important
things, the finest qualities may be had?
A great deal might be said on varieties !;
but after having tried the most popular
ones the writer now grows " Testers Per
fected Tomatoes" in preference to all
others.
Prxni.g.-As the greater part Of the
fruit on the tomato vine is borne near the
ground it will be found that the shorten.
ing Of the vines will cause nutrition to
flow to fruit instead Of making branches.
Don't be afraid to cut out all suckers and
non.beariug branches, and to shorten those
that wander. The writer knows that the
advantages Of pruning are questioned by
some, but he has learned by experience,
whatever may be the rationale Of the mat.
ter, the results are in favor Of rather serer.
pruning.
Keeping the Fruit Clean.-The fruit
may be kept clean and vented from
premature decay by spreading brush, sal
hay, or other such material under the vines
or by training them. But if the soil b.
light aud dry this will not be necessary es
pecially for a general crop. In garde,
culture, if it be thought best to train tn
vines, simple way is to set poles twelv
feet apart, the tops five feet high. Attacl
wires horizontally to them, which will forr
. cheap trellis for the vines, thus exposiu
them to the free action of the sun and al,
The favor Of the fruit thus grown will
finer than that ripened on the ground.
