wr,,ininr Ten,atoes.

A correspondent of the Southern En-
terprise gives his manner OF training to-
natoes. which is nearly identical with
that practiced north. He says:
i provide strong stakes Eve or six feet
long. These are driven in the ground
10 the distance of one foot, some two or
three inches from the plants, when they
are about as high ss my hand, ard they
are tied to the stakes with a cloth string.
Thew are tied loosely to allow growth.
placing the string as high as possible and
lust above a limb to avoid its slipping
down. It will be noticed that the plant
will gov in earnest as soon as 1t ls tied.
AS the plant grows, the tying IS cons
timed at intervals of six inches until It
crows six inches above the top of the
stake, when it is carefully topped and
kepteo.
During this training, the plant is sys-
temsticslly pruned by taking of the
short and useless limbs with & shsrp
knite. and combining the growth to two
or three prongs, care being taken not to
cut OF the leaves, which are tie lungs
OF the plant.
I regard this pruning OF sEpersbund-
snt xood as necessary for the tomato as

The electric lamp is recommended as
the best and safest means of illumination

THE VELOCITY OF A WHALES MOTION.
The whale moves with velocity
through dense body ofwater that would
carry him around the world in 70 tt
nights time.
NATURAL AND IMITATION TURQUOISE.
Professor Pohl has described a simple
and sure method fol detecting the diff
ference between natural and artificial
turquoise. He places portion of the
mineral in a colored crucible, and heats
it to redness over an ordinary Bunsen
burner. If it be real turquoise pecu-
liar cracking noise will be heard, and
deep brown earthly powder is left. Ar
tifcial turquoises do not crackle, and
the remaining mass is greenish-blue
solid.
SALT AS A TIMBER PREsERvATIvE.
Salt is an excellent preservative of
timber from, dry rot. The props and
galleries of the great salt mines in Po-
land and Hungary are found to endure
for ages without apparent decay. Wood
en- piles driven into Submarines last far
longer than those driven into fresh
water mud and experiments have been
made which show that dry rot may even
be checked after it has begun, by i'm
mersion of the infected wood in salt
water. In many countries the custom
prevails of soaking logs in the sea before
saving them up, especially logs of hard
timber, such as oak, elm and ash, with
view to render the wood more durable.
ALUM.TANNED LEATHER,
In Hungary and other countries in
Europe, alum tanned leather, said to be
equal to bark tanned, is used to a con-
siderable extent for harness. The pro-
cess, 1t is said, may be completed in
twenty -four hours. Heavy OK and cow
hides, fresh from the slaughter house,
are first well washed in salt and water to
remove the blood, and then laid on the
beam, flesh side up, and well scraped.
The hide is placed on small beam, the
hair removed, after which it is placed in
tanning solution of salt and alum, the
hide is we'll sprinkled with this snd
rolled up, and the liquid is heated and
poured over the hide. This process is
continued for twenty.four hours.
HOW PLANTS ARE PRoTECTED.
In a recent lecture Mr.. Francis Oar.
win gave some curious instances OF the
way plants ere protected from insects
and other dangers. Opium, strychniDe,
aud belladonna were all formed by
plants as means of defense to protect
them from cattle. etc. Poppies and
bitter almonds are also protected by
poison. Other plants. such as fennel,
anise and caraway seeds, were not eaten
by birds on account OF their strong arc.
matte flavor The lime is also protected
by this aromatic, and is able togrow wild,
while the orange, citron and olives
require constant care. Flowers are often
more fragrant than the leaves of the
plant, and owe TO this principle their
safety from caterpillars. The most Pc
culiar protection, perhaps, is that en-
ioyed by the common lettuce, which,
when pricked even by an ants foot,
spurts up sticky juice and browns the
intruder.
