TOPICS FOR FARMERS.

Alkekengi.-Few who have raised
this plant and preserved the fruit as it
may be preserved, says an exchange, are
Indifferent to its culture. 1t possesses
all of the good flavor of the tomato with
less either of its acidity or the charac-
teristic harshness which renders it un.
palatable to most people when eaten
raw. Canned or pressed it rivals the
strawberry or cherry, resembling the
latter in appearance, and possessing a
distinct aroma that reminds one of the
former, from which circumstance one of
its familiar names-Strawberry Tomato
is derived. Winter Cherry and Bar
BADGES Gooseberry are other familiar
names. it is a hardy annual, attaining
a he'll hit of about three feet. 1t should
be cultivated in good soil, and treated
much the same as the tomato.
The fruit is the size of small cherry,
half an inch or more in diameter, bright
yellow and inclined to transparency
when well ripened. 1t is inclosed in a
papery, membranous, inflated calyx,
something like the balloon-vine (cardi-
ospermum halicacabum), of light
green be'ore maturity and a dried leaf
color afterward. The fruit stem is not
strong or persistent, SO that most of the
fruit falls to the earth spontaneously
when ripened
When this has been raised for one
season, plants from self-sown seed ap-
pear abundantly the next year if the
soil is not worked too early, when they
may be transplanted or thinned out as
desired.
The fruit is rather small to be gath
cred in large quantities to be served as
tomatoes. But stewed, like cranberries,
with little lemon juice added, or can
ned or preserved like peaches, ounces,
plums, or cherries, this Physalis is well
worth the little trouble required in its
cultivation.
Alkekenzi is really distinct species
that bears scarlet berries, and ought not
to be applied as familiar name for the
| species of which we have written, which
is Peruviana-or p. edulis of some au-
thors. We have never learned that any
attempt has been made to improve this
fruit by selection, crossing or hybridiz-
ing; but the fact that some of the ber-
ries are twice as large as others is proof
enough that it might be improved by
such means.

Women as Farmers.-When so mucl

Women as Farmers.-When so much
talk is had over what women have a
right to do, it is pleasant to note the
work which some women have done.
Last year one of the eight premiums
offered by the Royal Agricultural Soci-
ciety of England for the best managed
farm in the district in which the annual
exhibition is held, was awarded to a
woman farmer, Mrs. Ellen Birch, for a
farm of two hundred and forty-two
acres of arabic land near Aims ee. The
farm, which is characteristic of the sur
rounding region, is nearly level and is
divided into fields of thirty acres each
by neatly kept hedges, and is light and
easily worked soil, naturally dry. No
stock of any consequence is kept. as
town manure is cheaply brought on to
the land by canal from Liverpool, for
which market the products of the land
are intended. The rent paid is f5, say
about $25 per acre. The course of crop
ping is as follows: First, potatoes, after
lea; second, wheat; third, barley, or
oats, sown with grass seed; fourth, hay /;
fifth, hay; after which the lea is again
broken out and planted with potatoes.
The potato crop now on the ground is
spoken of as " simply splendid" And
1T is on the potatoes that all the town
and homemade manure is applied, some
times with the addition of a little nitrate
of soda. The grain crop, especially the
oats, were very heavy. Fifteen men
and lads are employed, at sixteen and
seventeen shillings week, and cottage
rent. Heavy crops of hay are grown,
and after this is over for the season,
sheep are taken into grass for local sales
men, at sixpence per week.

Sc DIAL cor lieto divien bello Il volto."
II by happy heart the face is beautiful,
And by sad deformed.

But lessons all the torment of their woes
For death thank thee, as II ends my throes

So that by death dear love shall not be slain.

HOUSE OF nELFGATFs,
RICHMOND, January 80. 1878. !
l have sometimes thought my let
tiers from this city, may be too ex-
clusive!y political, and that the read
ers of the Meas would prefer a
moderate bhare Of attention on my
part TO other matters. 1t May be
pleaded by me in excuse that | am
giving almost my whole attention to
legislative aGairs-in fact that | have
il on the brain. So it is, and you
may rest assured, that | do not mean
to let this letter close without a touch
of the work now before the two
Houses.
The ou,aide sensation Of the SEES
sion is the weeks work Of the Rev.
Mr.. Raiusford, the Episcopal Evan
gelist Of England, NhO is now hold
ing a series Of services at St. Paul's
Church, the church where Jefferson

preaching at night. The Bible reads

nation as to amount almost 20 SER

church in the city, if not in the State,
aud vet both dOOr and all the vast
gallery are packed to the limit Of
endurance, such crowds have never
been drawn by any divine previous to
this. The utmost interest seems
manifested, and ! an reminded by
these Of the services held by Moody

81 years of age, a gentleman Of

opened. Mcssrs. Coghll, Echols and
Bocock arelikely to follow in oppo-
sition, and Messrs. Moffett, john
eton, of Giles, and Barbour are
likely to follow in its support
There are many othsIs who are
anxious to debate the question,
but tie House has decided 10 vote
on the question next Thursday at
3 2. NJ, and TO hold night sessions
for The purpose. Three of our
Southwestern members are absent
on account Of family illness. Mes
srs. Witten and Og!csby have been

We are likely to have enough left

TUESDAY, FEBRURET,5, 1878.

We present to-day to our read
eIs as much of the speech Of Speak
or Allen, made in the House OF
Delegates last Thursday, as we
have space for. 1t is due to It's
author to state that he was not
expected to open the debate, but
owing TO the absence Ct Mr.. Bar
bour, who was called away by the
extreme illness of his mother, and
the indisposition Of DR.. MotfetI, it
became necessary for him tc do so.
Further delay might have impair
ed the success of the measure, as
the session is now far spent, and
time for ite discussion in the Senate
must be allowed. The Senatorial
majority in favor of REIMBURSEMENT
is neither 80 decided in sentiment
nor SO large in numbers as in the
House, and the tactics Of delay
may be rcsortcd to there.
Under these circumstance Judge
Allen was not fully prepared to
present the bill to tie country, and
it was not expected that he could
do himself or the Subject justice.
But we must say he made a speech
of great power and diroctness. Its
temper is applaudCd in all quarters.
lnyective and shallow sailing there
is none. The argument is concen-
trated and perspicuous. Authori-
ties are neither numerous, nor
lengthy, but they arc happily Sc
Iected and conclusive. The statiS-
tics are neither redundant nor OBJ
scure in their bearing. Tie speech
made e most profound impression
on the House, and was listened to
with q degree Of attention we have
never known surpassed. a prom-
inent member of the opposition
remarked subsequently that the
Rcadjnsters had made Of Judge
Allen, by elevating him to the
~Spoakership, Il of the first men
Of Virginia.
On Friday he was followed by
Mr.. Bohanor, OF Mathews, and on
Saturday by Mr.. Henry, Of Rich
mond, both in opposition to the
bill.
