SOME Lods.-Those of our readers
who have feen the williamsport boom when full
Of logs, have, no doubt, been surprised a, the
great number Of logs II contained, But the VIII
Transport boom Is a small affair when compared
with some Of the Western booms. The following
Is taken from recent number Of the Menomonee
(Mich.) Herald, Of recent date "ln the log
pocket Of the Boom Company, located about two
miles above this village, may be seen sight
which, to practical men, Is worth travelling many
miles to gaze upon. There are over 100000 900
fee, Of saw logs piled In one immense mass, an
eighth Of mile IN width, ten 10 thirty feet In
depth, and three miles 10 lerg,h. The high
water ha, kept crowdIng them down until they are
piled fifteen feet above the waters edge, and as
much below II in many places They arc sticking
up in every conceivable direction and shape, some
Of them on end, with the lower portion several
feet above tho level Of the wateb and within a
few feet Of these you will step on The end Of an.
other, which, standing straight, just protrudes
sbOve the current u seems - iffhry have been
piled together much as the glaciers are formed,
layer upon layer, and log upon log, until they
have reached their present position. oae can
easily imagine the tremendous force with which
this immense macs would precipiiaic itself down
the river II anything should give way, but for
tunately everything is Arm. Something Of an
idea Of the value Of the mass msy be formed whom
II Is known that the logs are WORTH on an average,
nearly dollar each"

RAISING TOMATOES. Burr tells us
that the French mode Of raising tomatoes is as
follows "As soon as cluster Of flowers Is visi-
bic, they top the stem down to The cluster. so
that the flowers terminate the stem. The effect
is that the sap is Immediately impslled into the
two buds next below the cluster, which soon push
strongly and 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 Eve 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
stretched horizontally along the rows, 50 as to
keep the plants erect. In addition to this, all
latcrals that have no flowers, and, after the fifth
topping, all laierals whatever are nipr q ID. In
this way the ripe sap is directed to the fruit
which acloircs a beauty, size aud excellence un-
attainable by any other means"
