Captain Eads's Various Plans and
Projects.

| A st. Louis correspondent says:
Capt. James b. Eads will start for
Mexico in few days to have his Te-
hauntepec grant confirmed by the Mex
lean Congress. He will then 90 to
Tampico, where some of his engineers
are surveying the harbor for the United
proceed to the Isthmus, where he win
spend month and make a thorough in
spection of the route for his ship-railway.
This done, be will sail for San Francis
co, and, as Consulting Engineer of the
State of California, examine the mouth
of the Sacramento River. From there
he goes to Oregon, where he will inspect
the mouth of the Columbia River and
Humboldt Bay. He will then return to
st. Louis, and shortly afterward visit
Toronto, where he win inspect the har-
Dor at the invitation of the British Gov.
eminent, after which he will sail for
England and Holland.
Capt. Eads is thoroughly sanguine
that his ship-railway scheme will be
successful. His advices from Mexico
are even more favorable than he antici-
pated. He has three parties of engi-
neers now at work on the isthmus, and
rapid advance is being made in the sur
veys. The Mexican Government is also
aiding him in having eight engineers
and a gang of seventy laborers engaged
in surveying and cutting a passage
twelve feet wide through the forest from
point on the Uspanapa River, thirty
five miles from the Gull, where the rail-
road is to begin, to the pass in the Cor
dilleras, sixty miles distant
Capt. Eads SAYS the reason why he
feels so sure that his railway will be
built is because there are three possible
ties, either one of which is almost q
certainty.
81 believe Congress viii give us the
legislation asked form fact I'm almost
sure of it. But if America will not do
this-the Mexican concession to me
names no particular Governmental
shall carry the grant to England, and
see what will be done there. They will
not be blind to its advantages if Con-
gress is, and, in the event / can get no
Government aid, can build the railway
by private enterprise. Ihave canvassed
the situation SO thoroughly that know
this can be done, but do not want to
take this last alternative. The route by
the isthmus is only a thousand miles
longer than the average of the Trans
continental Railway, and this furnishes
a sure remedy against carrying monop-
oily. But If private enterprise builds
the road, there is no guarantee that the /
same syndicate might not get control of |
the railway, as was the Isthman route,
and thus prevent the competition 90

Tomatoes.

\ 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 1t is allowed
to wander ct its own sweet will it will
occupy 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
q 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 ap-
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-
CURED 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 crop
of well matured fruit Keep the ground
well stirred and mulch with half-rotted
manure. Use lots of liquid manure

according to DR.. Edward Smith
an egg contains fifteen and quarter
per cent. of carbon and two per cent. Of
nitrogen. Another writer estimates
that the value of one pound of eggs, as
food for sustaining the active forces of
the body, is to the value OF one pound
of lean beef as 1854 to 900. As flesh
producer, one pound of eggs is about
equal to one pound of beef.-Dr. Foote'S
