Introduction of the Tomato.

Of the introduction of the tomato into
the United States, a correspondent of the
Boston Transcript gives the following ac-
count:
Captain Phineas Eldridge was a resi-
dent of Carpenter street, west of Fourth
street, Philadelphia, in 1898 During the
San Domingo wars between the negroes
and the whites, many of the latter fed to
the United States, and the more careful
and enterprising brought fruit and seeds
peculiar to that island with them A
Frenchman named Nicalo, with his fami-
ly, became resident of Philadelphia in
1898, and occupied lot next to Captain
Eldridge Nicalo and family brought a
variety of seed with them, which they
sowed and cultivated, among which was
the tomato Capt. Eldridge and family
became acquainted with the fruit and its
uses by their intimacy with the Nicalo
family. They dressed and used it as a
salad and were fond of it. Other neigh
bors procured the seed, but cultivated it
merely as an ornament, many being under
the impression that it was poisonous
The tomato was used as an article of food
in New Orleans in 1872 They were not
however, sold in the markets, even in
Philadelphia until 1929. The French re-
fugees from San Domingo introduced
many new and excellent plants and vege
tables, and cultivated them in the gar
dens of Maryland, Delaware, and other
places near the shores of the Chesapeake
Bay. :"

The Cucumber Enemy.

The striped bug, Dsabrotlca vtttota

sorts of remedies which 1 have seen re

vines free from bugs by the use of ashe
and kerosene. I moistened the ashes with
kerosene, and applied a handful to thu
center of each hill. It.seemed to spread
too strong an odor for them and they
beat retreat. After commencing to bear
we look them over every day, and gather
some for pickles, saving few of the ear,

when they are ripe we pick them off and
place them in the sun few days; and
then the seed is taken out, washed clean,

Plymouth Rocks.

Americans can Justly pride themselves
on the success they have achieved with
poultry since they first undertook the
task of improving it. While we have
greatly improved the different breeds
we have originally brought from across
the seas, we have not been idle with our
time, and have produced an American
breed which is sure to do US great credit
everywhere on account of its intrinsic
merit. The Plymouth Rocks are yearly
becoming more popular, the demand fully
keeping pace with the supply from breed
ers, who give them the best of care and
attention and much of their time, and
many of the other breeds have to give
way to them. They are, when well-bred,
very handsome birds, and cannot help
but prove attractive, even to those who
do not belong to the fancy, while they
have real merits which commend them
to all who want "reallS first class
breed. We are pleased to see the friend
ly discussions, from time to time, in re-
gard to the different points of the Ply
mouth Rocks, for it serves to bring out
the views of the best breeders, and thus
conduces to improvement in all particu-
lars.
Americans can well be proud of this
noble breed of poultry, and our cousins
across the water are beginning to appre-
ciate them, too, by ordering them from
our well-known breeders.

Treatment of Wheat.

Early sewing, take one year with an
other, is best. When sown with drill
on rich land, bushel Of seed is enough
for an acre, and bushel and a half when
covered with a cultivator. This gives
room for tillering which is helpful to a
good crop, as it prolongs, somewhat, the
blossoming time and makes more com
plete impregnation of the grains. When
narrowed in, calculation is always made
for seeds not well covered and not covered
at all, and two bushels of seed are re-
CURED when the land is lumpy and full
Of clods or stones, and much is lost on
these accounts.
A stone, lump of dirt or clod of
any sort is wasteful covering for seed
of any kind. 1t is an excellent plan to
soak the wheat In brine for few hours
before sewing, to destroy the germs OF
smut or the eggs of insects, which may be
clnging to the kernels. Rolling in plas-
ter will fit them for sewing, and at the
same time furnish a stimulant for the
young plant The preparation of the
ground is all-important. The old time
farmers used to think it wise to summer
fallow the wheat ground A sod was
turned over in the early spring and re-
plowed twice afterwards. This was done
to get the land in fine filth or condition
of mellowness, and to clear the land Of
weeds. They also had the idea that the
frequent blowing made the land richer.
1t did, so far as it caused the decay Of all
the living vegetation and put the soil in
a condition for more complete absorption
The same result may be obtained now at
ter crop has been gathered-and the
use of the land, for one season; will not
then be lost-by blowing Immediately at
ter harvest and then dragging the ground.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-11-05

and, before the time of sowing, blowing
it again, and, if required, dultivating it
with a two-borse cultivator at the time
of sowing the grain Another cultivat-
ing to cover the grain, or going over it
with a drill, will give all the good results
of the old summer-fallowing, besides an
extra crop Thorough subduing and pull
verization are requisite, and these are OBJ
tanned by the newer method with the i'm
proved machinery farmers now possess.
