TOMATOES.
Some Facts About This Generally
Popular Article.


Handling or transplanting of young
plants when frequently and properly
done is invaluable. and, so far as the
plant is concerned, three or four trans
paintings are better than one. For one
who grows tomatoes for home use hand
ling in pots is recommended. Tomato
plants, or any plants. in fact, should
not be shifted for the simple purpose of
preventing overgrOwing, Transplant
ing serves the purpose of maintaining a
steady and symmetrical growth, and it
should occur before the plant becomes
checked from neglect. A tall and weak
plant, with blossom on the top, is not
considered worth setting. 1t is COM
mon mistake to set plants in the field
too early. Cold nights, even though
several degrees above frost, check the
plant, sometimes seriously.
The tomato is one of the most valuable
and incOnstant of kitchen garden plants.
At least half the varieties which have
been offered in the last few years are
practically the same as other varieties
Varieties of tomatoes are as arule short

pears to be extinct. The Trophy shows
the same tendency to become inferior
and it is difficult to procure good stock
of it. The demand in tomatoes now
calls for fruits which are regular in
shape. solid and large. and plants which
are productive.
There has been no gain in earliness
for the species for many years, if at all,
and little, if any, need be expected; yet
comparative earliness between CONNER
cial varieties is an important considera-
ton. Four-ffths of the varieties of
tomatoes now offered by dealers possess
culture. Nearly eighty varieties were
grown at the station this year, which is

Everybody comedies that the hog

INDEPEND.Nr ACTION.
Needful for Farmers to Effect
Their Obi ect, Says the Farm and

NeCuIuI IOt Farmers 10 Erect
Their Object, Says the Farm and
Home.
The demand for a political and nom
partiZan organization of farmers
throughout the country is becoming
Well-nigh Irresistible. The success of
the Farmers league in Massachusetts
in securing the election of a legislature
favorable to the farmers interest, has
increased this demand. Our eX-
perience with the Farmers league
demonstrates cOncluSively that
such an organization should be strictly
non-partisan. 1t should use the exist
ing parties to effect its object rather
than start fourth party. But in dis
trictS, or even states, where both par
ties and their candidates go back on the
farmers, or are untavorable to their III
terests, the Farmers league may well

majority, however, i'll most of the
states that when once we'll organized
their reasonable and just demands
will be willingly acceded to. Espec-
tally will this be the case when a few
more examples like that of Massachu-
sets have proven that farmers can vote
according to their principles, prospect

movement of this kind will be the cleo

state legislatures, better understand

farmers and more earnest spirit of

TO RESTORE SOILS.
Some Experiments in the Use Of
Leguminous Plants.

EeguminouS Plants.
Recently in these columns expert
ments were given relating TO the sources
of nitrogen and the Importance of some
discovery by which the free nitrogen of
the atmosphere might be utilized. As
scientists have not as yet solved such n
problem, the question most important to
farmers is how to add nitrogen TO The
soil through the agency of growing
plants. 1t has been a disputed point
for hundred years whether plants
derive nitrogen from the air OF en-
tirely from the soil. If from the
soil alone the plants camnot add
anything thereto, only serving the pur-
pose OF changing the compounds Of
nitrogen into available plant food. The
experiment stations have for years
been vigorously at work in this direc-
ton, end the results bave been SO salts
factory that the StOrrS' school expert
ment station, of Connecticut, boldly
claims that, as to whether the nitrogen
which the plants obtain is the free or
the combined nitrogen OF the air, the
experiments give no absolute proof, but
the quantities of nitrogen obtained are
so very large as to leave little doubt as
to its beng free nitrogen.
Clover, Alfalfa, peas, lupines, and
other leguminOus plants in general. are
able to acquire large quantities OF nitro
gen from the air during their period OF
growth. and there is scarcely room to
doubt that free nitrogen OF the air is
thus acquired by such plants. That
there is connection between root
tubercles, and this acquisition of nitro
gen is undoubted, but what this con-
neetion is and how the nitrogen is OBJ
tanned is unsolved. Cereals have not
manifested this power of acquiring
nitrogen, nor do they have such
tubercles as are formed Oh the roots of
legumes.
RESTORING EXHAUSTED SOIL.
The restoration Of exhausted soils,
especially when nitrogen is the sub
stance greatest in demand. is therefore
accomplished by the growing of leg
luminous plants. The growing of such
crops, to be ploughed under, will in q
short time. restore any soil. But i'll the
restoration of such soils the mineral
elements may be lacking, and hence the
farmer, while availing himself of the
advantages of the air as a source of
nitrogen. which he obtains by growing
crop of clover, must supply all-lime,
phosphOric acid and potash that are re-
Quired to balance the increased nitro
gen. A crop will not produce largely if
oversupplied with certain foods aud de-
prived of others. Nitrogen is the most
costly of all fertilizers, while mineral
matter IS the cheapest. If he can ac-
cumulate his nitrogen Ivy the agency of
plants the cost of the fertilizers to be
added will be small compared with the
cost of the whole. Glover. as farm
crop. is therefore more valuable than
any Of the cereals.

SUICIDE or A STEER.
Some Notes on q Rather Unusual
Event at Monongaheia City.


Coatsworth. the meat dealer. bought
steer from some one last week, and it
proved bad, bad steer, says Chill HaZ-
Yards Sheet. He wouldn't come to
town and be killed in a decent manner,
but frightened and paved and behaved
like the devil. He ran off. and swim
ming the river, took refuge on Wallis
hill. This morning Coatsworth went
after this buffalo bull, and took. Andy
Keller along with Revolutionary flint
lock musket to blow its brains out il
the steer got off its base. Strange 10
say, the animal came along very nicely
TILL aboutoppoSite Man0wn'S barn, when,
happening to look back and see Andy
with that musket, the beef grew
fnrious-one could see by its eyes
what 1t was thinking of. The steer
thought, Il would rather die any other
death on earth than be slOt by such an
ungodly ugly man as Andy Keller"
Just then Belle Vernon railroad loco
motive came along anu the steer rushed
pellmell into its cinder box, head down,
tail up. and was torn into fragments.
1t was the worst case of suicide we ever
recorded, and its brains, hOOf. hide ana
tallOw were scattered along, between
here and Dagg's Ferry. COatsworth
will never take Andy Keller along after
beef cattle again; it is too expensive.
P..S.-The locomotive was not hurt.
Neither was Andy Keller. The steer
was killed, and Joe CoatsWorth is out
OF pocket. No insurance.
