While tomato-pIants can DO set out
any time now, il they are protected at
nights and whenever there may likely
Ike Il frost. The gg-plant should not be
set out before the last week in May,
and then should he projected during
cool nights. They are one OF the most
difficult vegetables to grow, and re-
quir" at all times particular care and
attention. The space occupied by the
roots being very small, they require the
richest soil and heavy manuring from
the barnyard. Both plants should be
well-mulched. To afford them certain
protection, prepare boxes of rough half
inch boards, about ten inches wide at
bottom and five or SIX inches at top,
from twelve to fifteen inches high,
made of four pieces, and open at top,
as there need be no fear ofthe frost dis
turbing the plants through this aper-
ture. With care in slowing them away
im The dry when not needed, they will
last fifteen to twenty years, and are =
sure protection for any tender plants.

Frytng fish.

Frytag ffbh.
Friend Editor. What is the reason
thst so few cooks and even housekeepers
know how to fry fish, Why Will
they persist in frying them brown OF
hard and sometimes to coal? A per:
son must have the delicacy OF taste oitne
ostrich and its digestive. powers, TOO,
10 eat such fearful preparation. L
know of nothing more unwholesone
or unfit to eat. Fish, when large
enough, including rockfish, bass, perca,
trout. salmon, &C., should invariably
lie boiled, If one desires the full flavor
of the fish in its most delicious form,
when il is highly nutritious and whole
some, But there are certain fish TOO
moist TO boil, such as the shad, white
fish, Spanish mackerel, &c. These
shonld be broiled carefully and then they
are in perfection. Certain, persons
think that this can only be done over
hickory Goals or on a plank. formerly
thought so, too, but | have got over
this fastidiousness, after trial upon
trial, fortified by the opiuions on those
who have dined with us many times:
On two occasions we had tve-pound
shad cooked, one by wood Goals on q
plank, and the other over anthaclte
Goals, in common range, and no per-
son present was able to tell the differ
epce. 1t is all nonsense to give to the
trouble to provide hickory Goals and
plank a shad or whitetish, when the
anthracite coalsand common gridiron
will answer just as well. One thing
should be borne in mind, that no fish
should be cooked until it is ready to
be eaten. Let fish stand fifteen min
utes to half an hour after being cooked,
and it is Italy not lit to eat, the
favor being gone,

Clear Up and Cleanse Your Premises
The warm weather is here, and itbe-
hOoves every citizen to cleanse his
premises of all offensive mat
ter in order that they may become
perfectly clean and healthy. There Is
no doubt at all that great deal Of the
sickness visiting families proceeds from
filthy cellars, sinks, yards, out-houses,
styes, &c. These things are neglected
by many, as are other duties, from pure
thoughtlessness, while Others never
dream of paying any attention to them,
not thinking il worth while. There
are several remedies for this bad, un-
healthy condition of things that can be
easily applied. The first is to put one
pint Of the liquor of chloride of zinc ia
one bucketful of water, and one pouhd
of chloride of lime in another bucket OF
water, and sprinkle over decayed
vegetable matter. For this purpose
nothing surpasses il indeed, it is per-
feet deodorizer. The second is to take
four pounds of sulphate of iron or cop.
peras and dissolve in in a buckettul OF
water. This will in most cases prove a
sure remedy in destroying all offensive
odors. The third is to take simple
chloride of lime and sprinkle in damp
cellars, over outside heaps of filth, dirty
yarlS, &c. Before this, however, is
done, let there be a general cleaning
UP, removal of everything offensive or
nasty, to a place whence no harm can
arise. These chemicals can be pur-
chased at the druggists, and as prices
go are not dear.
The labor of cleansing one premises
by either one of these remedies as tritting
and the expense is not worth mention
ing. fit were ten times greater, both
the labor and expense should be will
ingiy incurred. But the best procedure
of all is to clense your cellars, yards,
Out-houses, styes. &c, Systematically.
Especially should the cellars, sinks,
and everything about the house be kept
free of all ofIensiveness ut all times.
Cellars should be thoroughly cleaned
out twice year, and whitewashed
once. Sinks about kitchens should be
particularly attended to by once week
pouring into the pipes Qnantity of
boiling water. Privies can be rendered
completely imoftenSive by the applIca-
ton Of fresh earth from time to time.

a week or two ago, our excellent con-
temporary, the Orange County n. >
Farmer, gives an instance, coming
under the eye of the editor, which looks
very much like an actual mixing OF
sorts where two kinds had been planted
side by side, some of the products OF
which were like neither; but on plant
ing some OF these the following year
their product reverted to the originals.
Receiving this in full faith Of It's aecur-
acy, We have only to say that 1t is the
one Iell-establisned instance OF which
We have any record.
A New York farmer declares that an
acre OF the Hubbard sQush will fatten
more hogs than the corn that can os
raised on the same ground. He has
gathered from six to eight tons TO an
scre. That may be true; but then he
will lose the fodder, no mean item; the
manure from the fodder when fed to
his cattle; besides, the pork made from
the pumpkin will be worth at two cents

corn and water.
