Raising Tomatoes.

Burr tells Us that the French mode Of
raising tomatoes is rs follows As soon
as a cluster Of flowers is visible, they TOP
the stem down to the cluster, so that the
flowers terminate the stem. The effect is
that the sap is Immediately impelled into
the two buds next below the cluster, which
soon push strongly aud produce another
cluster Of flowers each. When these are
visible, the branch to which they belong
is also topped down to the level; and this
is done five times successfully. By this
means the plants become stout dwarf
bushes, not above eighteen inches high.
In order to prevent their falling over,
sticks or strings are stretched horizontally
along the rows, so as to keep the plants
erect. In addition TO this, all laterals that
have no flowers, and, after the fifth top
ping, all laterals whatever, are nipped off
In this way the ripe sap is directed into
the fruit, which acquires beauty, size
andexcellence unattainable by other means.

Top-Dressing for Grasses.

A four years record at the Michigan
agricultural college, gives the following
results ;-0n the plot to which no manure
or fertilizer was applied, the total weight
of hay yielded per acre was $40 pounds
Where two bushels of plaster per acre
were applied, the yield per acre was 49,
ZIG pounds, a gain of 44S4 pounds.
Where FIVE bushels of wood-ashes we're
applied, the yield per acre was 1907, a
gain of AGA pounds. Where three bush
els of salt were sOwn per acre, the yield
was 1860 pounds, gain per acre of
1927 pounds. Where twenty loads Of
muck per acre were laid on, the yield was
14,686 pounds, a gain Of 6,524 pounds.
These results indicate that there are ferti-
lizers which win produce as good results as
plaster. For instance, the plaster yielded
gain Of Il per cent. while horse manure
gave an increase of Il per cent. or nearly
a ton more grass per acre in the three
years.

In strawberry culture the soil must be
rich and mellow prior to planting; the
weeds and gnss must be kept ont Of the
beds the frs. season, and there should be
no disturbance of the ground near ,he
roots. at any time in the spring Of The
second year, before the fruit is ripe. From
the time the blossoms come out. until the
fruit IS matured, strawberries require a
great deal Of moisture. If, from any
cause, this moisture Of the soil is cut of
even for short time, the yield as well
as the size Of the fruit win be mate
rally reduced. In a climate like cars,
where We are subject to long droughts, il
Is Of the utmost importance to guard
against such contingencies. The most
simple, practical, and inexpensive way Of
doing This is by ''mulching,' or covering
the ground between the rows, and among
the '.stools, with salt marsh hay or straw.
This can be done any time through the
month Of May, aud will always repay lib
orally for the outlay. When the mulching
material-salt hay, straw, or pine hay-is
plenty, il may be put on couple inches
in thickness, no injury resulting from the
quantity. The mulch answers a double
purpOse-Of keeping the ground moist,
eOol, and Of even temperature, and at the
same time preserving the fruit clean and
free from sand and grit, Of which there
Is sure to be much in the fruit when the
beds are left without it. BY running the
mulching material through hay-cutter,
the labor Of putting it on is greatly lessen
ed, especially if the rows and plants are
close together. The mistake is often made
Of using fresh hay as mulch on straw
berries, which results in giving first-elass
''set'' in grass that viii choke the vines

GOLDEN BUTTER.-The Philadelphia
Ledger says that there are at least two
dairymen and butter-makers in the neigh
borhood of Philadelphia who always sell
their butter at 81 pound, and cannot
supply the demand even at that price.
One Of them attributes bis success to three
points Good food to his cows, uniform
temperature of ffiy-eight degrees in the
milk-room, and neatness, cleanliness, and
dainty nicely at every step, from the time
when the milk is obtained until the dollar
is paid for the pound Of butter He feeds
his cows often, and not much at time, on
white clover and early -mown meadow hay
which he cuts fine, moistens, and nike,
with wheaton shorts. Pastures and mea.
dows are kept free from weeds. The milk
room is kept at temperature Of fifty-eighl

EFFEcTs OF THE Use OF PARIS GREEN.
Mr.. MeMurtie, the Chemist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, after series Of
experiments to determine whether the ar
senieal compounds used to destroy the
potato beetle would or could be absorbed
by the growing plant in quantities mfi,
Gent to be dangerous or deleterious to
animal life, concludes that no arsenic can
be absorbed and assimilated in this way
by plants in the process Of growth; and
with the quantity of Paris Green usually
applied to the acre, no effects upon the
plants or their consumers is possible. This
view is the one generally received now By
chemists.
