TALK OF TOMATOES.

The training Of tomato stems erect and single,
each to well-set eght-foot rod, combines neatness
and economy. 1t secures fruit of larger size,
finer form and richer flavor, while greatly en-
HANGING the garlenesque tidiness and showiness of
the plot devoted to these plants, without adding
ANYTHING 10 the labor of their culture beyond the
procuring of the stakes. But there is one draw
back. The fruit ripes more slowly. because there
is no check TO the onward growth OF the stem, such
as occurs when the unsupported stem is Bonded OF
twisted by storms by the weight OF fruit. In the
North where the closes early, this tendency
to set more fruit than can ripen can be easily
checked by pnching of late blossoms, and the
ripenng OF the fruit can be fastened by either
l0osening part of the roots or by piercing the stem
below the fruit or constructing IL with lgature.
The greater sweetness and finer flavor of both
tomatoes and gra edwhen the fruit Is screened from
the full glare of the either by the thin paper of
a bag or the natural defence of leaf, should be
generally known so well as to prevent the bar

In this region many of the irst-set tomatoes were
affected with dry-r0t. leaving a deep black scar
nearly always upon the apex which Is the tendcrest
thinnest part, and the first 10 show rlpeness. But
we had frequent rains after August 20. and the
tomato plants made free growth healthy foliage

EARLY-CUT OATS.


Mr.. NJ. Frank Taber writes from Ohio that old
farmers there all tell him that early-cut oats will
"rot in the shock" amould under the bands"
" heat and spoil in the stack" etc. unless Graded
and left in the swath several days. ais this true
If so II is quito disadvantage for each succeeding
year tho Graders get fewer aud the machines get
plentier and now comes the binder that admits of
no delay between cutting and shocking" OF
course more time Is required Tor oats 10 cure when
cut before they are thoroughly ripe than If left
until the Juices all dried out. The same is true
of grass when cut for hay; If left until dead ripe
it can be cot and ia ken immediately INTO the barn
but every farmer knows it has little value. Ny
plan is TO era lilo oats and leave them In the swath
until they cure through, when they are raked into
gavels or punches, the size OF forktull, aud
pitched on the wagon With wooden forks Very
few oats b0unu into sheaves In this part OF the
country. When | was boy it was the universal
practice to bind oats but much time Is saved by the
present plan.
Oats would cure IL cut with a reaper when as ripe
rs recommend, by leaving them in the gavels q
few days, OF the curing could be FASTENED by turn
ing the gavels over, which would pay as between
straw nearly as good as hay and stIaw nearly
worthless for feeding. Wien oats are cured and
dried they will not injuro, whether bound or not
and ia stack or in barn but If they are damp
when housed, however ripe they may be, they will
mould. IL a farmer expects to get the most value
out of crop be must, necessarily. take extra pains
Almost always when oats are left to get over-rlDe
in securing the straw when they cut soon as
they turn white and while the tendrlls which hold
the grains are strong. do not believe that oats
cut after they turn white will mould under tho
band If dry hen bound and especially after they
have had days sun upon them. Mine never did.
Oats bound in this manner should DO put up in
what is called in this section Dutch shocks" that
is, two sheaves leaning against each other at the
top with the butts spiead apart so that the air can
draw between them. and in threatening weather,
With a sheaf On the top. and spread out hanging
over SO as to form sort of protection, or roof to
carry of the rain Oats shocked in this manner can
be put up quite green. and will cure nicely, and at
the same time go through heavy rain without
damage. Before drawing In, the bundles may need
to be set apart IN order TO get them thoroughly
dry. Farmers get more easy going Il put 1t mild
every year and will often lounge about and walt
for a reaper to get around until their oats
and falling down. and the straw has lost 30 per
cent of its value while if thoy had little of the
forefathers' vim they would cra1le them when Just
right, the reaper expense, and have more oats
and better straw.-lF. ID. Curtis, Kirby Homestead

AmericaniSmS

In this land of too much freedom
the child is taught that it must dis
tinguish itself. A quiet, useful life,
spent in producing something of
real value, thereby enhancing it's
own and the cOuntry'S welfare, is
not sufficient, in the mind of the
average American parent. By emo
tiOnal and soft-pated parents and
teachers, children are taught to eX-
pect more than life can possibly
have in store for them. The result
of this is, at the aye of eighteen
years our girls and boys fail to see
easy and lucrative employment at
their instantaneous command, and a
feeling Of discomfort creeps into
their breasts, and crops out In vain
endeavor to grasp a fortune with
the boy, and to marry one in he case
Of the girl. Lifelong expectations
are hard to give up, consequently
the boy resolves to live without
labor somehow, and the girl decides
to marry the first chance she gets
which seems to hold out a prospect
Of release from the restraint of
parents and from the necessity of
self-exertion. The boy finds a sOlu-
ton of his life problem so difficult to
make pan out in accordance with
the noble philanthropy backed up
by the genereas donations Of a crate
full people" that wa portrayed by
his early tutor, that in many in
stances he becoGes discouraged and
starts on the road to "Hades" in
Stanter, while the girl takes the
shorter rsRle to the s2Rae pert by
marrying some distipated foel, who.
with his brain fired by whisky and
passion, talks of affinity Of souls.
The sooner the romantic halo of
perpetual bliss business is knocked
out of our homes and schoolroom,
and our children taught that life is
constant warfare beth with self
and the Wsrld, and that they Mast
acquire eSreain stsrhA1 Qualities Of
character, whieh will give them

Man Immortal.

s'lt can net be that earth is MAS
only abiding place, it can not be that
our life is a bubble, cast up by the
ocean Of eternity to float for me-
ment on its waves and sink into
nothingness. Else why is it that
the glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from tho temple of our
hearts are forever wandering about
unsatisfed? Why is it that the rain
bow and the cloud come over US
with beauty that is not Of earth, and
then pass off and leave US TO muse
upon their faded loneliness ? Why is
it that the stars which hold their
festivals around the midnight
throne are set so far above the grasp
of our limited faculties, forever
knocking US with their unapproach-
able glory? And, finally, why is it
that the bright forms Of human
beauty are presented to our view
but for moment, and then taken
from US, leaving the thousand
streams of affection to flow back
like Alpine torrents upon our
hearts? We are born for a higher
destiny than that of earth; there is
a realm where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will read
out before US like the islets that
slumber in the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings that here pass be.

in the schedule time of any railroad
company on the globe. LIZ may be
mentioned that the fast trains re-
Gently put on by the Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt roads, between New |
York and Chicago, compare well as
to time with the long runs on the |
English and Scotch lines, and more
than double them as to distance. |
On both the American and English |
system Of railroads it must also be |
remembered that for short stretches
OF straight track, with good road
bed and favoring grades, speed of |
sixty miles or more an hour is not
very uncommon. The ordinary |
time of passenger trains on the
British railroads does not vary
much, if any, from the speed of the

an hour for express, and twenty-five
for accOmmo lation trains.

Fast Trains.

A critical examination of the
speed of the English railroad trains,
writes a correspondent, does not
sustain the commonly accepted no
ton of their great velocity, nor
prove that progress in accelerating
speed which was to be looked for in
the country where the railroad was
born and Graded. The famous ely
ing Dutchman." on the Great Wes-
tern Railroad, makes the run from
London to Exeter, 1914 miles, in four
hours ard fourteen minutes. With
four stops, il attains speed of al
most forty-six miles an hour. A
train on the Great Northern Road,
the s'Leeds Express does better. 1t
makes the distance from London to
Leeds, 1877 miles, in four hours
almost forty-seVen miles an hour,
with four stops. The train carrying
the Irish mail to Holyheads, over
the London and Northwestern line,
and dubbed years ago THE Wild
Irishman," has now sunk into COM
parative obscurity, with the rate OF
a little less than forty miles an hour.
The competition over several of the
great lines to the populous Scotch
cities leads to some fast schedules.
