Notwithstanding the increased
production of small fruits, and the
fact that the season of tomatoes cor
respond with that Of blackbcrries,
grapes, peaches, plums, pears and
apples, yet their consumption is
great, and early ones sell in our
markets for high prices. Because
the season of ripe tomatoes, if they
arc grown entirely in the open air,
is short, gardeners seek to extend it
by forwarding the plants under
glass, and by originating early va
:icties.
Although the seeds Of tomatoes
will live in the ground all winter,
they require warm soil to germi-
nate in, and the young plants will
not endure any frost; therefore, we
do not consider it safe to transplant
tomatoes into the open ground in
the climate of Rochester until about
the middle of June. We seldom
have frost here after the middle of
May, but we often have cold, chill
ling winds, that very much retard
the growth of young plants. AS it
is necessary to transplant them so
late, it is desirable to have them as
far advanced as possible when
transplanted. I aim to have the
first cluster Of fruit buds nearly
ready to open before removing them
from the hot-bel. -
l SOW the seed in II warm hot-bcd
during the month Of March, or ear
ly in April. If left where sown,
they grow up too tall and slender,
and send out roots that extend far
in every direction, but small por-
ton of which can be taken up in
transplanting. 70 remedy this, |
transplant once, perhaps twice, in
the hot-bed, setting the plants three
or four inches apart each way. I'm
der this treatment they grow strong
or, branch out, set truit-buds, and
throw out numerous small roots,
nearly all Of which may be trans
planted with proper care. My
method Of transplanting is this: An
hour or two before commencing, /
saturate the ground with water to
the depth OF the roots. | then take
up with every plant about three
inches square Of earth, down to the
manure. BY slowing the plants
carefully in large market baskets or
boxes, and handling with care, they
may be transpianted under mid
day sun without willing enougA to
injure them. Last year transplant
ed about a quarter Of an acre in
this way, in very dry time, when
the soil seemed almost destitute of
moisture, without losing any from
the effect Of transplanting.-loaua-

Stock Raising ia tho Ear West.

Frank Wilkeson, writing to the
N. Y. Tribune, from a cattle-ranch
on the plains, in region which has
been the graveyard OF thousands eff
Texas cattle, in the Winter just
past, says:
81 have seen a stock country, and
| know this fact, that country
where the rain or dew falls after
the grass is ripe and dried as it
stands on the ground, is not the
country where cattle can be cheaply
raised.
FIRST, the cold northcr, then a
warm day, then the uorther again.
The wind blows constantly from
some quarter, and always blows ftl-
riously. This chills the cattle one
day; the next they are warmed; and
then chilled through again. The
end of it is that the cattle die. This
is blamed on the hard winters; but
the real reason is that the cattle
men take risks that would destroy
the credit of any business man who
would presume to take liberties of
like description with his business.
I have a case in mind where a man
lost his hay, every pound of it, and
then tried to winter his stock on the
range and on z, few tons Of hay he
bought, Cleaned out of oonrse--
Others feed nothing except on cold
days. What would you think of 4
general who had corps under him,
and who would not feed his men
until the eve of battle; then fill
them up with potatoes no meat, as
the cattle never have grain, only
hay), and then be surprised that the
troops could not endure three or
four days fighting? You would
say the man was Il fool, would You
not? That is what ] say of all cat
tle-men who try to do that with
cattle. A three days norther is as
hard on cattle as three days fight
is on an army; and if the cattle are
not full of good food they go under,
just as poorly fed troops arc unable
to stand the exhausting work Of
fighting. When you hear of a man
losing cattle OH account Of y storm,
you can say: THAT man has not
handled his business intelligcntly;
he does not take care OF his stock"

that there is no market for anything better-in-

Celery is the finest of the salad
plants in this country, and yet VIC
venture to say that it is less grown
and less known than any other, es-
pccially in the country. Near cities
large quantities are grown by mar
ket gardeners, for which ready sale
is found, Aside from its fine fla
vor, it is recommended as very bon
eficial for tho health. At. first, the
taste may seem unpleasant to some;
but taste is soon acquired for it,
and ever afterwards it is eaten with
the greatest relish.
Many suppose celery is difficult
to raise; but it may be grown in
any garden, if given proper cul-
tivation.' It requires rich soil to
grow to perfection, otherwise it will
not be crisp and tender. Tho seeds
should be sown early in bed in
the ground. They take long time
to sprout, and the grower need not
be alarmed if they do not start up
in a week. The seed bed should
be rolled, or lightly packed with
the spade. When the young plants
are two or three inches high they
should be transplanted four inches
into temporary bed, with the tops
shcared off to make them stout and
stocky. The tall-growing varieties
should be put into trenches; but
these are being generally discarded
for the dwarf kinds, which may be
set on the surface in rows three to
four feet apart, and the earth drawn
up around them at the proper
season for blanching. The last of
June or first Of July is the season
for final setting in the rows.
Every family with a garden should
have a good supply Of celery at all
hazards. A part should be Of the
crimson varieties, for mixed with

An amusing story, and one said to
be true, is told of a certain United
States Treasury clerk, who, when he
went to England on some Government
business. managed to lunch with the
Prince of Wales. One day in the
streets of London he met the Mar
puis of Ripon, late Earl de Grey,
chief of the High Joints, and at once
rushed into his arms, so to speak.
Delighted to meet your lordshlp, y
he exclaimed, effusively. "Dontyo
remember me? 1 showed your lord
ship through the Treasury at Wash
ington." "Ah," said the Marquis,
charmed, I'm sure. Ah, much
obliged. Not at all, not at all, ,, the
svndicator FASTENED to reply. "No
trouble. So glad to meet you again.
where does your lordship live?
Here the Prince of Wales interposed,
and thinking to bluff the enthusi-
astic American, said to the Marquis
of Ripon, Lets go to lunch" Be-
fore the Marquis could reply. the
syndicator hastened to accept the
invitation for himself. and followed
the two, Prince and Marquis, into a
fashionabl club, and actually lunched
with the heir to the British Throne.
Whether the III heir particularly
enjoyed the lunch does not appear IN
tale; but the recipient of this honor
never fails to make delicate illusions
