A shipment of 800 bushels of red
oak acorns has been made to Ger
many for planting on untillable Hill
sides. This tree is found to do well
in Europe and its wood is valuable.
The advance in the price of com
is causing the sale and shipment Of
much fattening stock about these
days. That the price holds up as
well as it does indicates possible
scarcity which must be more felt later
in the season.
The best use that can be made Of

The Profits of Tomato Culture.

Crystal Springs Monitor
The figures derived from the sale
of this vegetable SAVIOR so strong
of romance and fable, rs to cause in
us no inconsiderable hesitancy in
publishing results that will tax cred
ulity. The success last year in this
vegetable surpassed the creations of
the most lively imagination, and even
amazed those whose care and culture
wrought such wonderful yields. The
highest net returns were those of
Mr.. }. w. Day, who, on seven-eights
or one acre in that vegetable, raised
and shipped tomatoes to the value of
1882. 43. Following close on his heels
came Mr.. N. Piazza, whose net re-
turns footed up 81 200 90 on II acres.
These gentlemen took the lead, by
reason Of past experience-the one
having been schooled in Illinois, and
the other in Italy. Our inquiries,
which have been exhaustive, failed
to show any thing less than a yield
of 100000 to the acre. The senior
editor of this paper had last season
60 plants, from which he, after sup
plying his own table, shipped eleven
boxes, which Melted him S11.75.
Altogether the results of careful
culture of this fruit have been won.
derful. In consequence of this great
success, large sums have been ex
pended in the erection of more con
venient and better adapted hot
houses, andlcold frames, have beer
remodeled to accommodate the de
mands of this plant, The culture o.
the tomato, Of all vegetables, is The
most difficult and pains-taking, anC
requires constant care and unremit
ting attention, but with our newer
and better facilities, the forcing pro
cess has been shorn of its inconve
niences ana accelerated.

Row to CLEAN Light KId Gloves.

Fold a clean towel to four or six
thicknesses, then have a saucer Of
new milk and another saucer contain
ing piece Of brown soap. Spread
the glove smoothly on the towel; now
take a piece of new flannel, dip in
the milk and rub upon the soap until
you get good quantity of soap on
It. Then begin at the wrist and rub
the glove thoroughly from the wrist
toward the fingers. Do this thor
oughly with each glove. When
thoroughly clean, hang them in the
air, not near a fire nor in the sun
shine, When nearly dry, stretch
the gloves crosswise Of the leather,
and when dry stretch them on your
hands.

AGRICULTURAL.

CATTLE that are being fattened
should be given all they will eat.
AS rule, the crops which require
the most labor should have the best
land and the heaviest manuring.
If this country had accurate and
reliable crop reports each year, it
would save many millions to produc-
ers, and be no loss to the consumer.
Only middlemen make a profit on
the general uncertainty, and they
often fail in their operations.
IT may not be generally known
among all who make business Of
growing fruit, that "the most profit
able apples and pears are those that
do not ripen until the approach of
cold weather. They can be shipped
great distances, and will keep long
time
IT is said that "the high price for
corn has greatly diminished the glu-
cose product Sugar can now be
grown as cheaply from grain as it
can be made from corn at present
prices. But whA corn is cheap the
/. profits of gIucose-making are so great
that there will always be demand
for this purpose, and thus prevent
corn falling as low as it has in years
gone by"
SOME idea of the importance Of
good drainage in farming may be
gathered from the fact that "water
may stand on wheat several days
with little or no injury, provided
there are drains underneath to carry
it off even slowly. Water with a
current is not injurious to wheat /;
but, if stagnant, it is, ofcourse, rank
, poison. If the water is frozen solid
to the wheat roots the plant is killed
E outright, no matter how short time
! it may remain. In field with un.
derdrains water will seldom remain
on the surface long enough to freeze
down to the roots Of the plant"
The quantity of food needed by
stock varies even amongst animals
of the same age and breed, and it
necessarily varies to greater extent
among animals Of different breeds.
Upon this subject a farmer in Eng
land says it is sufficiently correct to
reckon a sheep consuming twenty
eight pounds of grain food, an OK or
COW $50 pounds, a calf forty pounds
and yearling eighty pounds daily.
AT this rate an OK or COW consumes
as much as FIVE sheep. The latter
will require 1920 pounds, or nearly
five tons apiece, the former "a, $50
E pounds, or nearly twenty-five tons Of
green food, for its yearly mainte,
, nance.
ROBERT BUST, JR. Philadelphia,
Pa, says of Irish potatoes that Ill
you wish large, well-formed tubefs,
Z do not plant small ones; select the
J. best, cut them into four or six pieces,
according to size, preserving as many
eyes on each as possible. You will
) then have strong, healthy tops and
roots. If small tuoers are planted
: whole, the result in general is guam
r tity of small tops, followed with an
over-proPortion Of small potatoes.
, Many cultivators in the vicinity Of
: Philadelphia, select good-formed tu
bers and plant them whole. This
I may be an advantage should the sea
son prove to be very dry, but" pro.
| ceeds Mr.. BUST, II look upon it as
: a great waste since the product from
such crop is no better than that
grown from wel-formed tubers cut

| would respectfully ask the use Of
your columns TO call the attention of

which hope, and believe, viii great
" advance the material interest of
the South.
Being in Brookhayen last week,
/ rode out to the Macedonian Planta-
ton, owned by Mr.. q. Menelas, to see
the machine patented by I. Albee
Smith, for cleaning Jute. The sea-
son for cleaning was over, but | was
shown the machine by its inventor,
Mr.. Smith, a man of the soundest
practical sense and thoroughly posted
in the subject of fbres of all kinds,
and after having it explained, after
seeing the result Of its work in beau.
tiful samples Of the texture ready
for market, and after hearing the
earnest and confident testimony Of
the gentlemen whose crop Mr.. Smith
has been preparing, / believe the
machine is a success.
This overcomes the only obstacle
in the way Of a croR which is planted
in April, May or June, and cut il
July, August, or September, requir
ing far less labor, making in one
fourth the time, producing NOR
abundantly and bringing in nearl,
double the revenue TO the acre tina
cotton does.
This crop, heretofore, has beer
confined almost exclusively to tn
fields Of India, as Americans coul,
not compete with the cheap labor o
that country, which receives from j
to Is cents per day /; but now tina
the inventive genius of American
has developed q machine for clean
ing it, competition becomes an easy
problem and our people should awake
to its advantages.
/ learned from these hospitablt
and intelligent gentlemen that OF
good land jute will grow to the heigh
of eighteen feet, will produce tw,
thousand pounds Of marketable ma
terial, which, according to sample
prepared by Mr.. Smiths machine
and sent to a dealer in New YorI
City, will bring Al cents per pound
or 500 per acre. These facts, Mr.

this communication is merely to draw
attention to it. Full information al

Mr.. Smith willing to answer an.
queries concerning it. The machin,
being portable, may be carried from

for a whole neighborhood, as is don
with the threshers in small grail
sections. The crop is ready for mar
ket at a time when farmers, unde
the present system, are pensioner

them a kindness Requiring so lit
