Training Tomatoes.

OF course no gardener would ever
think Of trellislng an acre of tomatoes,
but we do not know of any one little
thing that pays better in private gar
dens than that of giving the tomato
vines some kind of support. 1t
makes but little practical difference
what particular support is used; any:
thing that will keep the vines from
sprawling out of bounds and looking
slovenly, that will keep the plant up
where one can see how to trim out
supcrAuous growth, is a great COM
fort. Beside these advantages, the
fruit is less liable to rot, is in sight
where maltormed specimens can be
cut out and is always clean. Another
consideration is the greater ease in
''worming" or killing the voracious
green caterpillar; indeed, if Il trellis
of some kind is once used, one will
always be used thereafter. Our pres
ent object is to remind the reader to
have something in readiness. Set the
trellis before the plants are put out
and begin to tram it early. Just here
we would remind those who like to
amusc themselves in the garden that
Il tomato vine with Il good bit of ma
nure ut its roots, and trained against
barn, shed or other building, by means
of loops of strong cloth and tacks,
will make display that will aston
ish those who have never seen Il to-
mato thus treated, not only in the
quantity Of the fruit, but in the ex-
ceeding beauty of the whole plant

DESTROYING Caterpillars.

The caterpillars are at work upon
the apple trees and ought to be look
ed after. 1t is getting u little late in
the season, to be sure, and the fact is
that they should have been taken two
weeks ago, or as soon rs they made
their appearance, but better late
than never. A long pole with a
rough brush on the end of 1t is a very
convenient way of reaching many of
the nests in the hi CHER branches, and
no farmer should be unprovided with
such simple machine.
Caterpillars do great deal of
damage, but not SO much as the can
ker worm, in sections infested by
these pests. 1t is not so much the
actual loss perhaps, though this is by
no means small, as the appearance Of
shiftlessness and neglect, which they
present, that is to be feared. 1t is
much easier to get rid of them, or at
least to keep them within some
bounds, than is often supposed. A
little attention, each day, when they
first make their attack, will gener-
ally do the business for the cater
pillars. but for the canker worms the
use of tar or printers ink in the Fall
and March, is the best protection

From the National Livestock journal.
I have been breeder of thorough
bred cattle during six years, and in
this time have bred some grades and
common stock. In the spring of 1870,
l raised two thoroughbreds, two
grades and two common calves. The
common calves were out of No.
two-year-olds, and the other four were
out of two-year-old heifers. l kept
these calves until they were four
years old, feeding them together and
treating them all alike. The last
winter l fed them shelled-corn and
timothy hay. I fed them corn from
a bucket which held Is pounds. The
largest stccr-one OF the grades-and
one of the common steers would eat
the bucket full twice a day; the 9th
ers not quite so much. l sold them
in February, 1874, and shipped them
to Chicago with four other common
steers. They averaged 1000 Tbs.
Invent with them to Chicago to
learn the difference in grades of cat
tie. l shipped them to Messrs. Adams
& Eldrich, and asked them in regard
to the difference in the steers. They
selected the two thoroughbrcds for
the best ones, the two grades for the
next best, and the common steers
next. The best thoroughbred weigh
ed 5000 pounds, the other 1890
pounds; the largest grade weighed
2,l5O pounds, the other l,62O pounds;
the largest common steer weighed
1850 pounds, the other $3.50 pounds.
The commission men assured me
that the best thoroughbred was as
good steer rs ever came to that
market, being worth ten cents per
pound, and that the largest steer, be-
ing bony, was of the least value in
the market.
l consider that | kept these steers
one year too long. l think when a
steer is fed properly, is from two to
three years old, and will weigh from
1900 to 1900 pounds, it is in condi-
ton for markct-he can be sold with
better profit to the raiser and will
make better beef than it kept till he
is older, when the beef comes to ma
turity and toughens.-W. b. Quar-
TON, Fremont, Iowa.

An American Yarn.
From Harper's for July.

An Englishman = traveller, of
course : relates that an American
gentleman who had at IN early day
gone the overland route to California,
told him this: awe crossed the sand
hills near the scene of the Indian
mail robbery and massacre Of 1856,
wherein the driver and conductor
persisted, and also all the passengers
but one. But this must have been a
mistake, for at different times after
wards, Oh the Pacific coast, / was
personally acquainted with a hundred
and thirty-three or four people who
We're wounded during that massacre,
and barely escaped with their lives.
There was no doubt of the truth of it
II had it from their own lips. And
one Of the parties told me that lie
kept coming across arrow-heads in
his system for nearly seven years
after the massacre"

The New York Times reviews the
history of the famous horse Lexing-
ton, whose recent death in Kentucky
has occasioned such sorrow among
horsemen everywhere. His great
prowess rs Il race-horse, rs we'll os
his remarkable career as a sire, had
endeared the name of Lexington to
every lover Of thoroughbred stock in
the country. While on the turf, Lex
ington overshadowed all his contem-
poraries, and for twenty years his
record remained as a mark Of admir-
alton. Lexington first appeared as a
three year old in 1853, at Lexington,
KY, under the name Of Darby, in the
Association stakes for three-year olds,
mile heats, which he won in two
straight heats. After this he came
into the hands or Mr.. Il. Zen Brock,
and won large number of races all
over the country. Subsequently Mr..
Ten Brock sold Lexington tor $751;
900, and he has stood at the Wood
burn farm, i'll Kentucky, until his
death. Lexington, in his career, was
beaten but once in seven starts, and
his total winnings were $4,000. His
pedigree extends to the Arabians, and
the purity of his blood has been
thoroughly established. He was
blood-bay, about Is hands 3 inches
high. Up to the year 1866, he had
sired So winners at mile heats, who
won 1872 races, 80 winners at three
mile heats, who won 1O2 races, and 8
winners at four-mile heats, who won
IL races. Since 1866 the winning
sons and daughters of Lexington
have added double this number, and
his fame will live in the memories of
turfmen for generations to come
founded a line of race
horses unequalled by the offspring
of any other stallion in this country
or England. In his declining years
he even bettered the record of his
early career as sire, for Tom Bowl
ing, Harry Bassett, Preakness and
stand as fitting represen-
tatives of the noble animal.

Writers and Takers.

We are apt to imagine that good writers are
fluent conversationalists; but this is not
always the case. There was Dr. Blair, whose
mind was 50 chained to his pen that he was
called "Dr. Speaknone" Scott was most
genial in conversation, and the pleasant des-
cription of the author reading his poems and
novels to his family, and their atfsctionate
sympathy, is truly delightful. Dickens, too,
WAS gifted in speech as we'll as pen, and, per-
fhaps, had he enlivened the home circle with
his genius, his married life might have been
happier. Colerldge and Wordsworth were
kreat takers, and though they protested to
fielight in each others society, they always
avoided meeting because neither liked to lis
ten
/ Contemporary with them was Mr.. Talfourd,
pf whom Miss Milford says: His converse
Lion is so glittering, SO dazzling that listening
10 him is like looking at the sun. Il makes
pne's mind ache with excessive brilliancy."
But he did not possess the secret of pleasant
conversation. for his talk was more like an
harapgue. Humorous and witty people are
always delightful company, but those who use
sarcasm are seldom popular. Some writer
says Of sarcasm: at i, an9 easy talent, for
the worst wine makes capital vinegar" Poor
Goldsmith was always the target for the sar-
castle wit of his friends. He once said to
Beauclerk, 81 am determined to leave of
prescribing for friends" "Do SO, dear doc
Tor; whenever you undertake to kill, lot it be
your enemies" was the reply.
