Virtue is certaioly the most noble and
secure possession man can have. Beau.
ty is worn out by time, or impaired by sick
ness. Riches lead you rather to destruc.
ton than welfare, and without prudence
are soon layished away while virtue alone.
the only good that is ever durable, always
remains with the person who has once en-.
tertained her. She is preferable both to
wealth and noble extraction.

EARLY tomatoes. Ono OF our exchanges
thus tells how to get early tomatoes:
"The Spring is now approaching, and we
recommend to our lady readers to plant q
few earl tomato seeds in fower-pots. They
will bring on plants ready to set out in the
open air after danger of frost is over A
half dozen good strong plants, started early,
will yield many good dish of fruit long be-
fore it can be procured from plants taken
from hot-hed in Spring. In starting the
plants thus early some care is required in
pinching off the leading shoots, as we'll as
side branches, in order to make them grow
stochy and bloom early. The plants should
also be allowed plenty of room, and only
one grewn in pot. 1t is very easy mat
ter to obtain tomatoes early if one starts in
time"

MANURE SUPPLIES On this subject IA
prize essay of the Illinois Agricultural Soei-
ETY. says: Our experience in the use Of
pure bone-dust and genuine super-phosphate
is so satisfactory, that if it were not for the
freight rates charged by our railroad compa-
MES, we should use them more largely
Thus virtually shut off from these, we pur-
sued the following plan to reduce bones into
soluble plant-food. To make his own bone
material he got from foundry 32-pound
cast-iron sledge, by which, with the aid of
spring-poe and an upright log set in the
ground, he reduced bones to small pieces
then sitting out the finest, he crushed the
coarsest pieces over again; these fine pieces
he composted in layers with fresh horse dung
After three weeks be forked over the pile
and covered it with soil, and this was after
ward forked over until the bones were rot
ted and thoroughly mixed with the horse
dung and soil. To save farm-yard manure
from waste, and, above all, 6re.fang, Mr.
Glddings uses both earth and water.
He says: ga covering of half an inch Of
soil will absorb every lgS cart e IS essSra6c
A water-box on one,horse cart is also used
occasionally to stop too active fermentation
of the pile. There are other absorbents
rich in themselves, of plant food, which not
only save, but add both bulk and richness
to the pile-muck, saw.duss, ooal-ashes,
etc. TO into your ben.house on a warm

health. besides increasing the manure, if
