Farm AND PRESIDE.

The most important study of cul-
tivator of the soil is to plan for such
crops as viii always be in demand and
always pay; crops that win be in demand
year after year.-M Y. Herald.

The law of heredity holds good in trees

Hundreds of farmers in Pennsyl-
vania have turned their attention TO fish
culture. Many have stocked ponds and
streams, and in most cases they have

IN few years they viii depend upon

A satisfactory piece of economy. is
to take the pretty striped or dotted socks
of the father and cut them over in little
stockings for the baby. 1t often happens
that the sock is worn past amending at
the heel only, leaving the rest of it avail
able, and If care is taken to make the
seams small and smooth, the little stock

as long as any ehildren's socks that can
be bought.-M' T. Post.
Orange Basket: Remove the inside
pulp Of the orange carefully by making
small incision on one side. Then cut
the skin into shape of basket. leaving
about one-half an inch OF the stalk end
for handle. Fill the basket with ices
ice-creams, frozen punches, or whipped
creams, jellies, etc. They look Very
pretty on table. The pulp of the or
ange can be utilized for the children by
removing the pith and seeds and sweet
ening with sugar; or it can be used to
make orange ice-cream or water ices.-

Take Care Of the. Tomato vines.


If there is any one subject that Would
seem to be exhausted tits the Tomato
Trellises4 During the past twenty years
we have described probably twenty diff
ferent trellises, and the story of the whole
is: keep your tomato vines from resting
upon the ground One of elsimpest
methods is, to drive in stakes ct an angle
of forty-ive degrees, and nail, or lash to
these, light poles of any kind; in the alb
sence of poles use wire. The whole OBJ
ieet is to so place theavines that they can
be reached on all sides, not Gully that.we
may free them from s,the worm, but
also save the fruit from decay. If the
fruit is left in direct contact with the
soil, decav.asets in soon after fipenipg
begins, supporting tiIe Nelusters ofsffeIit,a
where all can be, seen, will allow of the
removal of the poorly shapen, and when
they are too much crowded, they may be
thinned The French advise training
the tomato to a single stake. Me,.hazG
tried this and do not like it lie cisl1|
tiers of fruit, as they approach maturity,
become very heavy, and just as they are
the most romisingwill break avaA1 from
the main STEM. Such clusters can not
be readily supported when the plants are
trained to single stake, but on trellis
of almost any kind they may be kept up.
The tomato may be cultivated in two
methods: as a field crop in which it is
allowed to have its own way; or in the
garden, where those who appreciate ex-.
cellenee in vegetables win find the to-
mato to amply repay whatever care may
be given to it, Were it only for the facili-
ties it affords for catching 1.-THE worm.''s
we should always provide some kind of
trellis for the tomato, Besides this,
the handsome appearance of the fipen-
ing fruit is greatly IN its favor --14171er'
