AGRICULTURE.

The DIFFICULTY an raising tomatoes
is that we make the ground too rich.
This favors the growth of vines rather
than that of fruit. On the other hand,
if the soil is made poor enough to. grow
fruit well, there will not be enough of
the stalk; the crop will be too small.
This can be remedied somewhat by
planting closer, say three hills instead
of two. But there will be lack, to some
extent, of the size and fine quality OF
the fruit. All this can be obvi: ed and
the largest and best crops grown with
out any waste of vine growth. Thus,
by keeping the growth in hand, feeding
the plant as is wanted for its different
stages of growth until mp to the bearing
period, it will give sufficient vine for
full cIop. The check IN the growth OF
the vine will favor the starting of the
fruit, and push it forward, but perhaps
not so much as is desired. If now the
vine is not fed, it will rapidly turn pale
and its growth come TO a standstlll. As
soon as the fruit begins TO push and the
plant shows signs of exhaustion, give it
manure-iu the liquid form-so as to
work promptly as is wanted. In week
or ten days, the plant will begin TO
deepen its color, with but little enlarge
ment of the vine, the fruit, meantime,
pushing with a force that is most
gratifying. The current, once directed
to the fruit, is not easily turned back,
but will continue until il has weighed
down the vine with its burden, ripening
and growing new fruit. But In order
TO do this there must be growth of the
vine TO form new clusters of the fruit.
Here comes in the nice point, so as not
10 push this too much and withdraw the
current from the fruit; the direction in
favor of the fruit must be kept up, al
lowing, on the other hand, sufficient
force TO keep forming the buds for new
fruit.

PoTATo GRowING.-A French journal
BqSse C0ur, describes the result of some
experiments in potato growing recently
conducted by scientific men in Ger
many. The principal conclusions to
which these seees have come, seen. TO
be two in number. The first of them is
that the vigor of the potato plant is
always in direct proportion to the
weight of the tubers used for sets, a
theory which certainly finds some sup
port in common sense alone, consider
ing that the Young shoots for some time
draw their nourishment from the
mother potato. The second conclusion
i. that there is great variety in the
productive power, not only of different
tubers, but also of different eyes of the
same potatoes. ''IU is found that the
eyes at the top of the potato produce a
much more vigorous offspring than
those in the lower part, and the conse-
quence is that those agriculturists who
cut their potatoes in half before plant
ing them are not well advised in cutting
vertically. but should always divide
shem horizontally, planting the upper
half and using the other as food for
cattle. But the best plan of all is TO
plant the tGber whole, cutting out,
nevertheless, ali the eyes except those
in the top part"

SMOKING TIE GRAPERY.-Burniug the
O6ds and ends of tobacco, TO be obtained
at some stores and at all tobacconists,
for two or three cents peg pound, is the
best thing TO smoke out all the yermin
from the grapery; and just now is a
delicate time TO watch these vines TO
see that they are free from these enc
mics. The smoking, however, should be
done without regard 10 their presence.
It is a protection. No one who knows
anything about raising grapes under
glass Will water the vines while they
are blossOming. But when this is fully
over the large syringe should thor
oughly sprinkle everything inside, in
cluding vines, soil, glass, ETC., twice or
thrice day. This must be accompanied
with powdered sulphur. placed in the
vicinity of every vine as protection
against mildew; and should mildew
unfortunately make its appearance the
vines should be sprinked with il. But
take care that you do not burn the sui
phur, as more than one grape-grOwer
has done 10 his sorrow. The fumes will
destroy the leaves, and hence the crop.

How TO USE A GRINDsroNE-r'irst

stop OFF the water when not in use.
Third, don't allow the stone 10 get OUT

pay for the use of 1t at the rate of nine
pence cord. At early dawn the next
morning-it was in July-Caleb was at
work. Those were the days of wide
fire-places, and each log needed to be
sawed but once. Before night he had
finished the job, and went into Capt.
W-'s house to settle.

ABOUT CANARY BIRDs.-Place the
cage so that no draught of air can strike
the bird. Give nothing to healthy birds
but rape and canary seed, water, cuttle-
fish bone and gravel-paper or sand on
the floor of the cage. No hemp seed.
A bath three times a week. The room
should not be 0ver-heated-never above
seventy degrees. When moulting (shed.
ding feathers) keep warm, avoid all
draughts of air. Give plenty of German
rape seed; a little hard-boiled egg.
mixed with crackers grated fine, is ex-
cel.ent. Feed at a certain hour in the
morning. By observing these simple
rules birds may be kept in fine condition
for years. For birds that are sick or
have lost their song procure bird tonic
at bird store. Very many keep birds
who mean to give their pets all things
to make them bright and happy, and al
the same time are guilty of great cruelty
in regard to perches. The perches in a
cage should be each one of different size,
and the smallest as large as pipe stem.
Ii perches are of the right sort no trou-
Bile is ever had about the birds toe-nails
