A National Blessing.

The nineteenth Century above all other
ages has been noted for It's many inventions;
It has given US the steam power in its thou
sand-fold applications, the Telegraph the
Telephone, the Electric light and innumer-
able other discoveries, all blessings to hui
manity leach day bringing us new surprises
until we have become so accustomed to the
exhibitions Of the genius of our century, that
any new development is at once received as
matter of natural consequence and most peo-
pie will simply remark, 81 told you So" AS
an instance Of this fact, we would only call
attention to that wonderful discovery St.
Jacobs Oil. 4 few years ago this great Ger
man remedy had never been heard of in
this country; to-day you can hardly find
man, woman or child in the United States
who has not used the remedy for some
pain or ache, or, at least, has witnessed its
use and seen its wonderful effects on fellow
being. st. Jacobs Oil has become Nation
al remedy, for it is known in every city,
town, village and hamlet in the country. 1t
is a cosmopolitan preparation; foritisp praised
by the Americans, Germans, Italians, Bo-
hemlans, Danes Swedes, Portuguese, Span
iards, French, yes, even by the "Heathen
Chinee." 1t may be termed the universal
blessing; for it is Endorsed by the rich and
poor, the clergyman and the physician, the
merchant and the laborer-in fact by all
classes Of the community. St. Jacobs Oil
by its almost marvellous properties, can be
employed for Il simple cut or sprain, or the
worst case of infammatory rheumatism.

Where to Locate an Orchard.

When the country was new it made
very little difference where the first set
tiers located their orchards; they grew
thrifty and bore well wherever they we're
planted Since the forests have been
cut away, and the hard winds in winter
and summer have been let in upon US so
freely, it makes quite difference with
the farmer where he now locates his or
chard. The variation of soil, or subsoil,
in different parts of the farm, would
favor some particular kinds of apples as
more specially adapted to particular To-
cations. But the main object will be in
reference to the prevailing winds, either
to plant the orchard whereit will be pro-
tected from them, or locate it where the
orchard will protect the farm buildings
and gardens and small fruits from such
winds, acting as a windbreak for them.
The prevailing winds in this section are
from the west-southwest, and will give
what l consider the best plan for locat-
ing an orchard here, and the reasons for
it, which of course would have to be
changed and modified to suit the condi-
tons of other localities.
Suppose the farm to lie on the south
side of an east and west road, and to
have middling even surface. would
have the house about at the middle of
the front, at q good distance from the
road, and lawn with some trees and
shrubs, extending in good breadth each
way on the front. The barn should
stand at fair distance to the southeast
of the house, and the garden east of the
house, lying between the barn and the
lawn. Then locate the orchard south
and west of the buildings, planting as
near them as it will do to look well, and
have it front into the lawn or road as it
extends beyond the lawn. This, of
course, will be aiming to have the or
chard shelter the house and adjoining
buildings from the prevailing winds.
The orchard should have the shelter of
one or two rows of thickly planted for
est trees along its west and south bound
aries. This would make more effect
ual windbreak if evergreens like our
native white cedar were planted between
the forest trees, where they would grow
readily and add much to the warmth of
tne grounds.
The difference between living in such
q sheltered place as this, or in an ex-
posed location, is so much that man or
beast or even plants find it decidedly
in favor of the former. In the garden
here, other things being equal, it will
be comparatively easy to grow its prod
ucts early and to a great degree Of per-
lection; wilhelm the one exposed to the
driving winds the plant growth will be
slow and unsuccessful, even after spend
ing more time, care and work over it.
There is only one other plan that think
might be preferable, and that | can only
commend as theory. 1t is toplantfor-
est timber in the place Of this orchard,
and four or five times as thick on the
ground, for permanent growth, and
plant the orchard east of the garden
and buildings, when all would be more
completely sheltered. The farmer
would derive more comfort and benefit
from the fores growth than most farm
ers do from their native wood lots-H

Tomatoes.

A common mistake in the cultivation
of this plant is to imagine that it re-
quires an enormous space to perfect its
growth in. OF course, if it is allowed
to wander at its own sweet will it will
occupy a great deal of ground. But this
is not at all the best way to get ripe
fruit, though any amount of leaves,
stalks and green tomatoes may be pro-
duced by it. Please give the following
a fair trial. Set the plants in rows two
feet apart, and fifteen inches between
the plants in the row.
When the first bunch of buds has
fairly made its appearance nip off the
whole of the shoots growing between
the stem and branches, but allow the
main stem to grow on until four, or at
most, five, punches of buds are formed.
Then the plant being, probably, about
three feet high, pinch off the main
stem, three inches from the highest
bunch, and continue to nip off the shoots
as before, as fast as they make their APP
pearance; just as in the culture of to
baccO.
If this is properly done, the greatest
amount of ripe fruit that the climate is
CAPABLE of producing will be secured.
Stakes, about four feet long, will be re-
quired to tie the plants. They should
be driven firmly into the ground and
the stem should not be too tightly
bound. ! have practiced this mode OF
growing tomatoes for twelve years, and
have never failed to obtain an early cror
of well matured fruit. Keep the ground
well stirred ana mulch with half-rotted
manure. Use lots of liquid manure
