AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Raising Tomatoes.

Burr tells Us that the French mode of
raising tomatoes is as follows: As soon
as 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 clus-
ter, which soon push strongly and pro-
duce 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 sue
cessively. BY this means the plants be-
come stout bushes not over eighteen
inches high. In order to prevent their
falling over, sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the ,ws 50
as to keep the plants erect In addition
to this, all laterals that have no flowers,
and, after the fifth topping, all laterals
whatever are nipped off: In this way
the ripe sap is directed into the fruit,
which acquires beauty, size and excel
lence unattainable by other MEANS

Salt for CahhaCea-

Always remember that the cabbage
was originally a marine plant. Salt is
necessary to its development, especially
in places far from the coast. 1t makes
them more crisp, of better flavor, and to
keep better when salt is used than with
out. A New Jersey gardener gives the
following as the best method. of applying
it:
"a few days after setting out the
plants, and when they are damp, either
after rain or when the due is on, take
small dish of fine salt, and walking
among TIE rows, sprinkle pinch of salt
on the center of each plant. When the
leaves begin to grow | repeat the sailing,
and when the center of the leaves begin
to form the head apply salt again, scat
tering it over the leaves. After this /
look them over occasionally, and if | find
plants that do not head well or appear
diseased, sprinkle the salt over freely.
This will save all such plants. A quart
of salt is sufficient for five hundred plants
in season, although more can be used
with safety"

Turnips Declared n Sure Cure for HOG
Cholera.

Major John Million, a well-known
citizen of Laplata, Macon county, Mis-
souri, has great faith in turnips as sure
cure for the disease known as hog
cholera. So great is his faith that he
has filed a claim with the state govern
ment for the $4,000 reward offered by
the legislature for Il remedy for that dis
ease. Major Million was Il commissioner
in the Confederate army. While acting
in that capacity he had charge at one
time of many thousand head of hogs,
which were collected together in Missis-
sippi when the cholera broke out among
them. Immediately upon discovering
the prevalence of the disease he says he
began to exert himself to save as many
rs possible, keeping the infected ones
apart. He had on hand, also, large
quantities of turnips, which he began to
fed the hogs. Very soon he observed a
marked Improvement, and then he made
numerous experiments. He selected
some of the diseased hogs and penned
them. apart. They were fed on turnips
and nothing else, and all of them recov-
cred. He says his experiments demon
strated the fact that turnips are not
only cure, but a preventive of
cholera. He has impaired the secret to
many farmers in this state, all of whom
found the remedy sure. Major Million
states that unless the hog is too far gone
to eat, the turnips will cure him. The
remedy is a cheap one and easily pro-
cured, and it can certainly do no harm
for farmers to give it Il trial.-HannibaL

Where and HOW TO Churn.

According to the Scientific Farmer
"Churning cream to make good butter is
not 20 simple a process as some may
think. 1t must be churned at the
proper time and at the proper tempera-
tUre, and the churn should be stopped
as soon as the cream has broken, but be-
fore the butter has gathered in large
balls. In warm weather it is of great
importance to watch the process closely,
and to notice Just when this change is to
take place. At this time add enough
cold water mot ice) to reduce the tenn
pcrature of the mass to about tifty-s;x
or tifty-eight degrees, and then complete
the churning, which will be as soon as
the butter is in a granulated form, with
particles about the size of peas. Then
draw off the buttermilk and dish in cold
water, repeating the washing until the
water drawn off appears clear Now,
take out a layer of butter into the tray,
and sprinkle on finely sifted salt, at the
rate of about an ounce of salt to the
pound (more or less, as consumers may
wlsh). Then take out another LAYER of
butter and salt as before. After the
butter is salted, set it away for about
three hours for it " to take salt" and
harden the grain" Now work it 4
little with a wooden paddle, and
set it away again until the next day,
when it will need but little working be-
fore preparing it for market. By hand
ling in this way you will get clean,
hrightarticle, with a perfect or unbroken
grain, which will keep sweet whether
consumed Immediately or packed down
for future marketing. Ii the butter is
soft and white, it is from a lack Of
proper cooling before churniug and it
may be hardened by putting in about
three times the usual amount of salt.
and working it little for two or three
mornings" Many of our very best
dairymen and buttermakers of Philadel-
phia, gilt edged butter, from two to
three ounces of salt to five pounds of
butter. In this case the salt is usually
added at the final working, and of course
all remains in the butter.

Potato Shoots for Seeds.

Considering the vast importance of the
potato crop in this country, and its adapt
ability to so much Of our area, expert
ments in its culture are important
especially when they develop economy
early maturity, and large crops. 1t is tc
be hoped that the time is not far distant
when some of our State and Government
agricultural institutions will be able Il
devote some consideration to subjects oil
like practical Importance. At present
however, we must depend largely upon
European experience.
In Switzerland the Government man
ager of nurseries communicates the result
of his last experiment respecting the
potato. Last spring he had arrived at
the conclusion that the shoots or germs
should be used rs seed instead of the
tuber. He therefore planted field with
potato shoots, two 10 seven inches long
leaving about one inch above the ground
adhering in other respects to the Ole
mode of cultivation. Though the season
was, for that section, late one, the
planting taking place at the end of May
vet ripening so much earlier than il
planted by the old method, within sixty
days of planting he was enabled TO pu1
in the same ground a second crop, which
also came TO maturity, producing excel
lent potatoes.
The shoots should be taken off at the
eye, and not broken or bruised; the pota.
toes from which they are to be taken
should be exposed to the air and moder-
ate light; no germs should be taken of
previously, second shoots being useless.
They should be planted with a dibblc,
after ploughing or digging, about the
middle of May, or when night frosts are
no longer to be feared. The planting re-
quires no particular care beyond avoiding
breaking the shoots The experimental
claims that in addition to accelerating
the growth, permitting of two crops in
one season from the same ground, the
potato deprived of its shoots is still avail
able as food, while the cost of seed is
greatly reduced, potatoes averaging above

and clothed in rags, called at an east
side residence the other day and with a
pitlful story OF poverty, want of work,
and domestic infelicity, begged for
bread. When his hunger was appeased
with generous supply of food he re-

heart-that he was looking for a wife
with $4,000 cash, upon whom he could
lean for support during his declining
years. Offers made upon the spot were
respectfully declined, and the HEAVIER
heaved a sigh as he departed.
