this periodical is to glorify the men
who fought to destroy the Union and to
keep before the rising generation the
sacrifices and heroic struggles of "be-
loved Southland" for slavery and

Smith and Commissioner Lochren are
all evidently among its constant readers.

rRANsPLANTING TOMATOES.

Experiments of transplanting tomatoes
at the New York Cornell Station are re-
ported by L. 81. Beiley and L. G. Cor
bett as showing that leggy or drawn
plants set at the ordinary depth, and
one-half the stem layeref and covered
in a shallow trench gave much larger
yields than normal stocky plants started
and planted at the same time. Plants
which were sheared to make them stocky
were later than those that were trans
planted at the date of shearing. Plants
grown from seed of the first ripe fruit
of the kinds planted gave poorer yields
and no earlier fruit than plants grown
from sister fruits which ripened three
and one-half months later. No gain is
secured by selecting seeds from first ripe
fruits and neglecting the character OF
the plants. Killing tomato plants,
during two years, has given no favorable
results. Trimming the plants after they
had made good growth in the field was
not advantageous. For two years, single
stem training in the field gave decidedly
heavier yields to the square foot, and
the crop was earlier.-American Agri-
culturist.

STARTED FROM SEED.

Those who have neither hotbed nor
cold frame to start seeds in may find a
protected corner at the south side of the
house where, if shelter can be impro.
vised for cold nights, some, seeds, such
harder ANIMALS and vegetables as pan
sizes, alyssum and cabbage, may be
planted April 1, or earlier, writes Louise
M. Fuller. But the ground for this
should be light and loamy, and not in a
drip from the root. I have large, dry,
sunny bed in forkiug of walks at the
back door, accessible on all sides, and
convenient to every part of the garoen,
where start most things to be reset,
and am greatly IN favor of outdoor plant
ing of all seeds possible. Plants grown
here sometimes overtake those sown sew
eral weeks earlier under cover when the
good growing days come. This backdoor
nursery furnishes an extended border
for small matters, while the centre is
given up to that first crop of spinach.
After all are removed, volunteer YER
benas take possession of all but corner
for pansies. Another point: I learned
last summer that Saliva splendens-.the
scarlet saliva generally procured from
the greenhouse-can be raised from seed
very easily: also geraniums, cannas and
many other plants usually bought in
pots. If not so early they will be more
hardy and satisfactory in the end.-New
York Tribune.

Madagascar is we'll supplied with
fruit, some indigenous to the country,
other kinds introduced. Among the
former, the banana holds first place. It
zis very plentiful, of many varieties, and
all good. The lemon and lime, the
trose.apple and guava, also abound.
The orange, one Of the introduced fruits,

POINTS ABOUT WEEDS.

Weeds are classed as ANNALS, bieu-
malls and perennials. Annual weeds
complete their existence in single year.
Hence when ANIMALS are prevented from
ripeniug their seeds upon any farm from
year to year. the time must come when
that class of weeds will be completely
destroyed. Persistent warfare against
them for single season would eradicate
them entirely were it not for the fact
that many seeds, from the nature OF the
coating which contains the terminating
principle, have the power to resist decay
to such an extent that they may remain
in the soil and retain their vitality for
several years. Annuals should, therefore,
not only as far as possible be prevented
from maturing their seeds. but those
which have been overlooked and do ma
ture should by autumn cultivation be
induced to germinate that they be the
sooner destroyed.
Biennials complete the round of their
existence in two years and any method
that will prevent them from maturing
and reproducing seeds will in time de-
stroy them. Along roadsides and in
places seldom cultivated, cutting them
off frequently at the surface of the
ground will be the most effective method.
There are two classes Of perennials-,
those reproduced from seeds only and
those also reproduced from root stalks.
The most effective method of destroying
these pests is to smother them, by COM
pletcly covering them with soil in the
period of their most active growth, or
in digging them up root and branch and
leaving them to dry and be burned.
In the Canadian provinces, weeds are
thought to be on the increase. and pre-.
vail to such al extent that lengthy bull
letin of the Ontario Experiment Station
is wholly devoted to a description of
some of their most troublesome weeds,
together with successful methods, some

Lanterns Extensively Used In China.

The ordinary lanterns carried in fun.
eral or wedding professions iu China
have split bamboo frame, covered with
paper or gauze, and measure from two
to three feet in diameter. On the surface
lis painted the surname and titles of the
family. If a wedding procession, the
decorations and letters should be red
and black, with as much red and as lit
tie black as possible. If funeral, the
coloring should be blue, no other tint
being permissible except in the case of a
very high mandarin. Here yellow, tho
sacred or imperial color, may be en-.
ployed, or yellow and black. The COM
mon herd is not permitted to carry the
mandarin lanterns; at least such is the
law. When, however, the celebrants
are willing to salve the officials palms,
the law becomes dead letter. For the
poor, who can spare little money, are
globes and egg shaped lanterns, made of
split bamboo, rattan or wire, and glazed
paper or oiled cloth. They range from
six inches in diameter to three and even
four feet. The ground of the exterior
is either white or the natural color of
the covering. Upon it is painted, in
red or blue, great characters, which
either indicate the name of the owner or
else express some favorite maxim or
quotation from the poets. The idea Of
carrying lantern at night, on which is
written the name Of the owner and his
rank and titles or his business houses
name, is to show the public that he is q
citizen, and not highwaymen. If he
has any title or rank he is admitted to
places of entertainment without trouble,

to titles and lanterns than to the person

KEEPING COWS CLEAN.

Every one who has any experience in
q dairy, recognizes the difficulty that
there is in keeping COWS clean. There
are many ways Of arranging floors to this
end, for the collection of manure and
litter. Every dalryman worthy of the
name knows the trouble attending this
necessary labor, and comprehends that
no matter how successful he may be in
this direction, that his COWS are i'm.
proved by carding and brushing. Even
with COWS that are naturally clean, the
operation is beneficial and healthful. It
affects the skin in manner that no other
process can accomplish. The COWS re-
spond to the treatment. as readily as q
horse does to the brush and curry comb.
Their response is found IN the quantity
rendered to the milk pail after they have
been tins cared for. The trouble, time
and labor co bestowed is amply returned.

The Modern Lock.

As respects modern locks this country
bears off the palm, whether as regards
security, convenience, facility Of manipu-
lation or workmanship. Like other arti-
cles for common use confined within the
domain of ordinary mechanics, our locks
arc the best in the world. The lock of

inconvenient to carry in the pocket and

the Europe burglar is easy, twisted

all the rooms of private dwelling or

essential than with us that the locksmith
should be man Of greater probity than
the workmen Of other trades. Fortu-
ngtely, il France the honesty Of the craft
