EARLY TOMATOES.
An Experienced Market Gardener TeIIi
How to Produce Them.

How to Produce Them.
In looking over your paper ] sec
many interesting articles on variety
of horticultural subjects. I have been
in the market-gardening business for
some years. and am greatly interested
in any improved methods of carrying
it on. There is one plan for getting
tomatoes into market early that have
never seen publ shed, and l thought !
would give it to your readers. if you
care 10 print it, 1t is not exactly new
way, either, but is q great improve
ment on the old way with pots. 1t is
this: When going home from the city
market during the summer general
Iy drive out an alley and can almost
always pick up wagon-Ioad of tin
cans before get out of town. mostly
of the sizes in which corn and tomatoes
are packed. These l throw down in
some out-of- the-way place until I have
gathered together as many as l need.
During the winter, when not very
busy, we build fire between two
logs, and when we have good bed
of Goals throw on a bushel or so of
cans. In an incredibly short time the
tops and bottoms drop off and the
sides pop open, and with a long stick
we toss them out. The operation is
then repeated, and so on till all the
cans are open. Some fine broom wire
is then procured aud cut with nippers
into pieces just long enough so that
when the ends are hooked and fast
ened together they will each make a
loop of the proper size to cover can.
The sides of the can should be Tapped
about three quarters of an inch. The
natural spring of the can will hold
the wire on. The cans are all pre-
pared in the same way and stored in
some old shed till wanted in tho
spring. About three months before it
is safe to set plants in the open ground
we make hot-bed and SOW the seed.
In about six weeks the plants will be
three VI four inches high, when a
milder hot-bed is made and the
cans set in as thick as they
will stand and filled with rich soil.
Into each of these cans one plant 10
set and allowed to grow four or FIVE
weeks, until they begin to crowd,
when they should be separated so as
to have plenty of room and let stand
until safe to plant out. When the
ground is marked off take spade
and throw out spadeful of soil where
each plant is to grow. II little
bone dust or other fertilizer is mixed
in all the better.
Now lift the plant can, soil and all,
and set in boxes convenient to handle,
haul to the field, set can and all into
the hole so that when the soil is drawn
in the surface will be about an inch
higher than the can. Cut the wire
with nipper and lift off the can; this
will leave the roots absolutely undis-
turbed. Hoe in the soil and the work
is done. Plants so set will never wilt.
1t Is a good plan to wet the roots well
before lifting from tho bed. In this
way / have often made a good thing
off an acre of plants before others have
any to SELL A great deal depends.

A Low Voice in Woman.

Yes, we agree with that old poet
who said that low, soft voice was
an excellent thing in woman. In
deed, we feel inclined to go much
further than he has on the subject,
and call it one of her browning
charms. No matter what other at
fractions she may have; she may be
as fair as the Trojan Helen, and as
learned as the famous Hypatia of an
Gent times she may have all the
accomplishment considered requisite
at the present day, and every advan-
tage that wealth may procure, and
yet if she lack low, sweet voice she
can never be really fascinating. How
often the spell of beauty is broken by
coarse, loud talking! How often
you are irresistibly drawn to a plain,
unassuming woman, whose soft, sill
very tones render her positively at
tractive.

The New York Tribune OF the 22d of last

the receipt of a dispatch from Chihuahua,
stating that Mr.. John Dickcrson, who II was
asserted was we'll known on the Pacific
