Drying Tomatoes.

In Italy an extensive business is car
ried on in drying tomatoes to use during
those portions of the year when fresh
fruits cannot be obtained. Tomatoes
are grown, for the most part, between
rows of grape-vines. Sometimes the
tomatoes are trained on the lower bars
of the trellis to which the vines are
attached. The tomatoes are allowed to
remain on the branches until quite ripe !;
they are then picked and pressed in
bags made of coarse cloth, which allows
the pulp to pass through, but which re-
tains the seeds and skins. The pulp is
then thinly spread out on cloth, boards,
or in shallow dishes and exposed to the
sun to dry. When it has become quite
dry it is broken up fine on the ground
and put into boxes or bags and sent to
market. A large part of it is used for
soups, but considerable portion is en-
ployed as we do tomatoes when pre-
served in tin or other cans.

Grapes.

For quite number of years have
been trying to raise grapes but as yet l
have not succeeded in fruting anything
but the Champion satisfactorily. Is
there any other that will do well in
this part of the state? Those who have
raised grapes please answer. My first
venture was with the Brighton, recon-
mended as an early and hardy kind.
Every year, at the first, pruned and
trimmed it according to directions, and
every year for three years the vines
died down to the roots, when | con-
cuded to let them grow all they would;
and, in the course of three years more
they budded for poisoning. Then
came the hard frost of May 81 when
the mercury stood nine degrees below
the freezing point here; and the vines
were again killed to the ground. Last
year, there were very few grapes on
the vine but they did not ripen. This
year they have budded again; so has
the Champion and two other kinds, of
which do not know the name. One
is a white grape that have had about
as long time as the Brighton, and it
has never budded before; the other is
one given me more recently by a neigh
Dor. We also have Concord Seeding,
but the fruit is not much better than
the wild grape and the Champion is not
much of an Improvement on that.

From the Experiment Stations.

GIRDLING, FOR ERUIT.-As regards
apple-trees, Professor Maynard only
advises the girdling treatment upon
trees that are planted too closely, and
part of which must be removed after
time to allow the full development of
others, or those in very rich moist soil
which are long coming into bearing.
Most of the girdling was done in July
on the main trunk below the branches.
The girdles near the ground healed
over most readily. The cuts varied
from one-eighth to one-half inch in
width, and trees so treated showed a
marked increase of fruitfulness over
those not girdled. The experiments
with grape-vines are worthy of note.
Cutting rings of bark from the canes
of the grapevine to hasten the time of
ripening has been practiced more or
less for many years to prepare large
specimens for exhibition, but only for
the few years past has it been prac-
ticed to hasten the crop for market. In
series of experiments made in the
college vineyard in 1877 and 1878, and
recorded in the Report of the Board of
Agriculture of Massachusetts for 1878
and 1879, it was found that removing a
ring of bark early in July, one-fourth
of an inch wide, resulted in Fastening
the time of ripening from one to two
weeks. 1t was also concluded from
very careful tests made at the time that
the increased size and early maturity
was not at the expense of the quality
and that as far as could be determined

Agricultural Notes and Items.

You may go in most any direction in
the country and see waste going on:
mowing-machines not housed, agri-
cultural implements lying promiscu-
ously around, with wagons, carts and
perhaps sleighs, and the manure thrown
outside of the barn, with no protection
from rains.
Mr.. ABBOTT of the Lewiston (Maine)
Journal gives a very sensible reply to a
query about the proper length for OK
Jokes. For oxen seven feet in girth
twenty-siX inches between bows for
winter and thirty-six inches for summer.
Oxen want room to work without
chatting by the chain or cart-tongue.
DIVERSIFIED farming means fields of
grain, meadows and pasture; kitchen
garden and orchard; lawn with trees
and flowers; breeding mares and milch
cows; sheep, swine and poultry. Live
stock is the ground work, and will hold
the soil fertile. Get that which is SUI
perior in all the departments. From
the best is where the profit comes in.
LAMBS in health grow fast at three
weeks old and require an abundant
supply of milk or other nutritious food
If they are not fully supplied they will
not have strength to withstand the cold
and stormy weather of early spring
The best way to feed young spring
lambs is to feed their dams well through
the preceding winter, so they will give
an abundant supply of milk.
THE farmers of to-day, however, are
more intelligent and are reading AND
thinking more than they ever did be-
fore, and this fact argues well for the
prosperity of the country. When they
begin to realize that they have the con
trolling vote of this country, if consol'
idated, the total demolition of trusts
monopolies and overbearing corpora
tons generally is not far distant.

Professor Sanborn says: " While we
are wont to look upon blue grass as af-
fording a typical pasture, it will be
found quite inferior to well-formed
pasture of mixed grasses. Blue grass
yields small crop of hay, and, there
fore, must not be expected to keep the
maximum amount of stock per acre.
Nor can single grass grow cattle as
fast, nor fat them as well, as mixed
turf, affording its better nutrititive ra-
ito and, by its variety, more palatable
food" We suppose that nearly every
reader understands that our common
June grass is the same as Kentucky
blue grass.

For some years it has been our prac-
tce to use good-sized potatoes for seed,
but the present season, owing to the
scarcity of potatoes, we used some small
ones. One part of the field was planted
with small ones, cut in two pieces,
another was planted with small pota-
toes whole, and still another with large
potatoes cut with two good eyes on a
piece. Other conditions were equal.
For six or seven weeks the whole po-
tatoes gave the rankest growth of vines !;
since that time, the larger potatoes cut
in pieces have claimed superiority, and
August 20 they showed decided av-
vantage over all others in the strength
and freshness of the vines. What the
results will be in bushels will be deter
mined later.

Wild carrot is very troublesome
weed and it is making serious inroads
on farms in some parts of the state. 1t
spreads very rapidly and is difficult to
eradicate when it once obtains foot
hold. The only way to get rid of it is
to pull it up, and farmers who are not
overrun with this noxious weed will
find it greatly to their advantage to do
so before the seed ripens.

IN our experience the present sea-
son with manure plowed under and
spread upon the surface for corn, we
find that the surface manuring gave a
little ranker growth early in the season;
but that was maintained only for about
the first three or four weeks. AT the
present time, there is apparently no
difference in the growth or maturity of
the corn. The surface manuring has
given much larger proportion of weeds
from the start. All other results were

DYSPEPSIA makes the lives of many peo.
Pile miserable and often leads to self
destruction We know of no remedy for
dyspepsia more successful than Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently, tones the stomach and other
organs, removes the faint feeling, creates a
good appetite, cures headache and refreshes
the burdened mind. Give Hoods Sarsa-
parilla a fair trial. 1t will do you good.

at the time, and which further observa-
tons have confirmed, that the vines are
not materially injured by the girdling.
To save expense in the work, for the
past two years the girdling has been
done by twisting a wire very firmly
about the canes the last of June above
the point where the cane is to be cut
away at the fall pruning. About No.
20 wire has been found best, and re-
suits obtained have been more salts
factory when the wires were put on the
last of June or early in July and
twisted very firmly about the cane.
While we have no proof that the vines
are in any way injured (notwithstand-
ing that we have made very careful OBJ
servations for many years. we would
not, concludes Professor Maynard, adj
wise girdling the entire vine, but would
treat only those canes to be cut away at
the fall pruning, and would leave about
one-half of the vine to grow to a nat
ural condition.
