Tomato Figs.

The following is the method Oh
preserving tomatoes in Bermuda,
and thereby manufacturing a sweet
preserve something like figs: Take
six pounds Of sugar to one peck Tor
is pounds) Of the fruit, scald and
remove the skin in the usual way !;
cook them over a fire, their own
Juice being sufficient without the
addition of water, until the sugar
penetrates and they are clarified /;
they are then taken out, spread on
dishes, flaltened and dried in the
sun. A small-quantity of the syrup
should be occasionally sprinkled
over them while drying, after which
pack them IN boxes, treating each
layer with powdered sugar. The
syrup is afterward concentrated and
bottled for use. They keep from
year to year, and retain their favor
surprisingly, which is nearly that of
the quality of fresh figs. The pear
shaped or single tomatoes answer
the purpose best. Ordinary brown
sugar may be used: a large portion
of which is retained in the SYRUP
Sugar Bowl.

Day.

The years that have elapsed since
the close of the civil war have served
to obliterate all sectional feeling, and a
united and prosperous nation joins in
keeping green the graves Of all it's be-
loved dead. 1t is in this spirit that the
publisher of the New YORK FAMILY
STORY PAPER has had written a thrill
ing and pathetic romance, peculiarly
appropriate to this national holiday,
entitled Faithful Leonore; or, His
Grave Kept Green" In the same paper
will also be found a weekly instalment
of the Life and Adventures as a Show
man of p. T. Barnum," written by him
self, and equally interesting to the
young folks as we'll as heads of families.
These are rare literary treats, and
those of our readers who are not al
ready enjoying them will do well to
obtain No. 766 of the NEW YORK
FAMILY STORY PAPER of their news
dealer, or send direct to the publisher,
Munro's Publishing House, Nos. "a and
Is Vandewater Street, New York, and
receive the paper four months for one
ao!tar, postage free.

Pecan Culture.

T. Jay Lacy, proprietor of Mount
Hope Nursery, Washington, La,
writes to the Sugar Bowl aud Farm
Journal. as follows:
Though pecan culture is not very
expensive, yet there is no good
thing without some trouble and ex-
pense. He thinks pecan planting
will pay if properly prosecuted, but
not by planting Seeding pecans,
wait twenty years for them to bear,
and then have four.ffths of them
prove worthless. The trees should
all be grated from reliable bearing
trees, OF extra large size, which will
enable you to know with certainly
as with other grated fruits, what
kind you have; they will bear fruit
in about half the time of seedlings,
and the nuts will always sell for a
high price.

Crops.
Her

Among the numerous data finnish
ed nv the State Commissioner OF
Agriculture in his official report to
the General Assembly there Is moth
ing more interesting than The detail
ed showing of the acreage and yield
of the various Louisiana crops. 1t
has often been asserted, both in
public prints and in assemblies of
agricnlturists, that Louisiana sorcly
needed a wider diversity IN her
crops, but q study of the Commits
s%ioner's report reveals the fact that
this State is not nearly 20 bad off
in this respect as many suppose.
Who would have believed, for IN
stance, tlpt we have about IS many
acres planted in corr as We have
in cotton? and yet such is the
case according to tie official report.
We do not rank corn among our
principle staples, yet nearly six
times as many acres are devoted to
its culture than are given to sugar
cane. Although only l77,ol4 acres
are planted in sugar cane, while
100000 acres arc devoted to cot.
Ton and $4,000 to corn, yet the
value of sugar crops is $4,000, 900
greater than that OF cotton and
nearly $l0,000,Oo o greater than
that of corn.
One rarely hears any mention Of
oats in Louisiana, and yet a little
more than half as many acres are
devoted to oat culture as r given
to rice, which is classed among our
three leading staples. The area
devoted to small farming, particular
]y truck farming. is yearly increas.
ing, and according to the official
figures Louisiana is rapidly becom-
ing an important corr growing State.
Avoyclles and iberia parishes each
produced last year over q million
bushels, and St. Landry nearly Two
million.
The Attakapas section of the
State is particularly we'll adapted
to growing grain, and is yearly in
~<e,reasing the yield Of the cereals.
Uue,of the startling developments OF
the Commissioners report is the
fact that the $4,000 acres devoted
to sugar cane are the principal
source of the States Wealth-theil
product bringing more money than
and other crop, and more than most
cf the others combined.-N. o.

ccpt that the rainfall has been cxces-
sive in a number of parishes, causing
some delay in farm work, and the
crops to become grassy. The ave
age rainfall for the cotton growing
region of the State for the past week
was one and o~ne-iourtk inches, and
