How Many Crops ina Season.

The Green Bay Gazette has the fol-
loving: Not long since l gave an ac-
count of an experiment in raising three
crops upon the same piece of land in
one season. Now l will give you an
other experiment and its result, which
may perhaps be considered more prac.
teal, as it is one which I believe may
be repeated with profit by every farmer
in our state.
The last week of April 1870, i sowed
piece of land with Peas. 1t was well
MANFRED and the seed was drilled in.
The rows were three feet apart and
were double, that is, an open space of
three feet and then one row drilled in,
another space of one foot then another
row; then again the three feet space
and so on until the whole piece is sown.
l like this plan for two reasons, one is,
that the double rows Irvine themselves
together and help support each other,
and then the open space upon each side
of them, gives them plenty of sunshine,
and also gives an opportunity to cult
vate between the rows, destroy the
weeds, and keep the ground clear,
WHICH, ldTLuerS Will uuu TO De most
decided advantage when they come to
harvest their crop, if not before. The
middle of July the peas were ripe, and
were good crop. They were taken off,
and the land plowed and sown with
corn.
/ think the best way to do this is to
drill it in, and make the rows not more
than l6 to IS inches apart, and then
drop at least one grain to every inch in
the rows. Remember it is not grain
that we are after now. l had my grain
crop in the peas that have been taken
off, and now We are after crop of fod-
der for winter. Well, the corn came
up and grew nicely 1t was gone
through with the cultivator twice and
the stalks were cut about the last week
in September and set up in small shocks
to dry. They stood there until just
before it froze up, when they were taken
down, bound up in small bundles, and
slowed away in the barn for winter use,
and think such stalks are equal to the
best Timothy hay. They should be
cut as soon as the stalks are fairly in
tassel.

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Tomato Growing.

The three rules to follow in the Guilt
vation OF the tomato are:
/. Secure the seed of fruit acclima.
ted to the section where it is to be
grown.
2. Free use of liquid manure during
the season.
3. Looping off the superfuous
branches, and training the stalk of the
plant over trellises, and up the sides of
fences and houses, to it's full length
and capacity.
The tomato is too sensitive for the
plant grown in a northern latitude to
succeed south at the first trial, or for
the seed of the south to flourish in the
north, until it is acclimated. Acclma-
ton is essential before pronouncing
Judgment on its merits. Select the
smoothest, roundest and heaviest,
adapted to table consumption during
its natural season, and medium size,
grown and adapted expressly for can
ming purposes. Secure the plant that
is adapted to your climate and wants ;
keep that seed pure, and study to ac-
climate it to the section and soil, and
improve its size, color and flavor each
year Then you will never leave home
for a good tomato.
To prepare the ground, mix with the
soil equal parts OF hen, chip and sand
manure. Heap the earth IN hills not
less than two feet high; at the base
and around these hills set the strong
est and stoutest plants. Then apply
soap-suds, dlsh-water, etc, over the
hill, and let it run down and feed the
plant during the season. Draw the
earth from this hill around the grow
ing plants every two weeks, spreading
the same about over the roots until the
elevated earth is consumed in feeding
the wants of the vine.
1t is interesting and important to
train and cut away the surplus unbear-
ing limbs from the first to the last
spreading branch; young shoot
springs from the crotch; this infant
sprig must be plucked out on all occa-
sions. On the side of the main stalk
the flower stem shoots out these bear
the blossom and fruit. Near these a
very heavy and large branch grows, as
large as the original stem, with big
leaves: that is fruitless and burden.
some All trees should De cut off with
a sharp knife, so as to leave the main
stalk aud flower stem exposed to light
and air. The blossom branch will
often double it's capacity in fruit bear.
ing. The surplus should be reduced
So that the remainder will come tc
early and perfect maturity. The vine
will commence bearing at about twelve
inches from the ground, and under this
treatment continue to bear fruit a
every twelve and fifteen inches, to thu
extreme end of the tree. County

desirable acquisitions during the sum-

be planted in good garden soil in April,
when the soil is dry and warm. The
Mexican tiger lily may be planted a
month later, say from the 10th to the
10Th of May, in rich soil not more than
two inches deep. The Jacobin lily
should be planted at the same time and
in the same kind of soil as the last
nHmed. Tuberoses, if wanted in per-
lection, should be started in pots in
March, in warm room, and transplant

May; or the bulbs may be planted in
the open ground about the same time.
Gladiolus bulbs should be planted the

cision affirming the right of Capt Wet
more to occupy the position Of Ordinary
of Chatham county, and IN that decision
quoted at length from the Reconstruction
acts, and proved conc.usively that the
acts of Gen. Alfred Terry, in placing
Stone into the position Of Ordinary was
unwarrantable, illegal and unjust. Judge
Schley showed most conClusively that
civil law was IN all cases paramount, and
that military law in the State OF Georgia
was unauthorized, so long as the people
of the State upheld and respected the
