AGRICULTURE.

ToMAroEs.-Thet tomato has greatly
improved in size, smOOthness and quail
ity within our recollection. Ii has
also changed from a mere ornament.
like some other SOlanums, to an article
of necessity and general use in this
country, while 1t is working its way
steadily but surely to favor all over the
civilized world. In a cool moist cli-
mate, like England and Scotland, the
tomato ripeEs in the open ground only
under the most favorable circumstances
ana seems to require about such treat
ment as the peach. Tomatoes are,
therefore, grown in houses, like for
eign grapes, trained TO the rafters.
Those who have had no experience can
scarcely realize how large plant the
tomato will make when little pains Is
taken in giving it plenty of nutriment
and proper training. Once we trained
one to the side OF the building, and 1t
covered q space sixteen by twenty feet,
and had several hsndreds of ripe fruit
on il at one time. 1t seemed a marvel
TO many, and we had plenty of appli-
cations tor seed, on the supposition that
il was a new and improved variety.
Some years since we sent the Hatha-
way Excelsior tomato TO England, and
it has proved for many years the most
popular variety in that country. From
it, by some freak of Nature, was pro-
duced kind called Green Gage, yell
low. oblong, small, but rich and pro-
ductive-tOo small for market purposes
here. Later we sent a new variety.
which we had not named, and which
received a first-class certificate from
the Royal Horticultural Society. Our
friends in England named it Vlck's
Criterion. This, too, has become a
leading and popular sort and, il is
claimed, eXcels all others for forcing.
From this Richard Nisbet, a gardener
at Aswarby Park, has produced Va
riety called Nisbit's VictoIia, which is
said To excel all others for fruitfulness.
The fruit Is oval, less than two inches
by two and half,in diameter, growing
in punches and each bunch containing
from eight to twenty specimens, of the
size and color of q Victoria plum. 1t

The original plant COW
cred space fifteen feet by six, and had
upon 1t at one time 600 punches fruit;
rs many more have been gathered dur
ing he summer" We shall give this |
Il trial next summer; but think il may
be too small for general use in this
country, where tomatoes grow SO
in the open ground, of
great size and wonderful beauty.

CLOVER on THE FARM.-One mighl

JgniZed a 'par excellence" the best
fertilizing plant in America, If rot in
the world, that it would be a work of
supererogation to say anything in its
lavOr. This seems to be, however, one
of the many points where theory and

thousands of farmers who acknowledge
the value of clover and yet neglect to

Now let farmer undertake TO fertiliZe

There can be no question as to its being

presume that all farmers, under all
circumstances, would answer yes; but
undoubtedly its value is much greater
on some soils than en- others. | am
fully convinced that on clay limestone
uplands crop OF clover is often worth
more than a liberal coating of stable
manure, and i'll this opinion am sus-
tanned by many of our best farmers.
In fact, in a grain-growing region,
clover is absolutely Indispensable, and
without it our system of farming must
change or our lands will become bar

EVER since we can remember ii

EVER since we can remember the
people in and around Knoxville
have been clamoring for competing
railroads. In that competition is
the life not only of single trade
or business but community
and section, that clamor has been
right and good and certainly no
one can think i'll of it. But in that
cry there were elements Of captious
criticisms in some quarters-be ii
well understood that we say some.
The time has now come when this
will display itself. All those who
were laboring for the good of East
Tennessee, for the advantage of
Knoxville, will subscribe according
to their respective means to the
stock in the Knoxville and
Cincinnati Southern, canvass for
which was begun yesterday.
Knoxville's business men are
proverbially generous, and to
this project we feel confident that
they will be espe cially SO, They
have now not only their own inter
ests to consult but also their reputa-
ton for consistency and fairness of
purpose. In o former article we
spoke briefly of the advantages that
would derive from the building of
the new road, so it is not necessary
for us to repeat them.
But there are other things we did
not speak of then. The road will
be put through without the shadow
Of q doubt. AS soon as the con-
tracts are let, Knoxville and the
surrounding country will begin to
see her gain from it. She will not
have to wait for its compile,
ton. Almost everything neces,
sary for the work will come
from here. The corn, bacon,
mules, hay, labor, tools, carts, in
fact everything necessary to con-

struct it, will come from here, except
the rails. Then when it is com,
pleted the same thing will be
true of the other roads
that will be built. Merchants can
tell of the amount of money we
will add to our circulation by re-
membering their experience with
the Cincinnati Southern. Every
thing that goes out Of Knoxville
will return to her three fold, like
bread upon the waters, except for
the many days" Employment
will be given to all the laborers the
section can furnish, and their wages
will all be spent with US. This
undertaking is no philanthropic
scheme, but solid, practical,
money making machine.
