tomato plans, and they make a fine
growth the same season. Take a pail to
hold the plants while digging them
take up with fork, so as to save large
part OF the cross root; mud the roots
well, and set out near evening or on a
cloudy day. The mudded roots, packed
In moss, may be sent long distances by
express.
This matter of windows in stables is
one of vastly more Importance than some
farmers think. Animals, no more than
vegetables, can thrive in the dark. Our
ong winters are sufficiently trying to the
constitutions of our iaTm-stOck, under
the best circumstances, and an animal
upon which the sun scarcely shines at all
for five or six months will come out in
spring in a bad state of health, even
though the feed, and the ventilation,
and the temperature have been all right.
The sun is the great lite-giver.- Vermont

KEEPING Hoes CLEAN.-The floor of
a hOg-pen should be of plank. The pen
and hogs can then be kept clean. If the
animals are permitted to root up the
| floor of the pen and burrow in the earth,
| they will always be IN an uncleanly and
| unwhOlsome condition, and much food
will be wasted. It is quite unnecessary
! for either the comfort or health of the
hogs to let them exercise their natural
| propensity to root in the ground. The
exercise IS really a waste of food and
takes so much from their growth. Hogs
will fatten most quickly when they eat
and sleep and remain perfectly quiet, as
they will do in dry, warm pen, with a
clean plank floor, and bedding of clean
straw and plenty to eat.-Anlertcan Ag-
rjcuLtIriSt.
EARLY CHICKENs.-The first eggs are
always the best for Matching. They
produce the finest and most uniform
chicks, and are truer to the breed; show
all the finer points and develop sooner,
where the breeding birds are chosen
with an eye to the nearest possible per
lection. Very early Matched pullets
commence to lay too early for breeding
purposes, unless one has warm shelters
aud heated enclosures for the chicks III
our latitude. With the first clutch the
hen spends her strength and ability to
stamp her progeny with that degree oil
uniformity and perfection which We aim
to establish. The cock always becomes
weakened with over use, and his chick:
are weak, and therefore more prone tC
diseases. Good strong birds that inherit
constitutions withstand all minor evils
and grow rapidly.-Anserican Stool
