Tomato Farming.

The growth OF this highly esteemed
vegetable has become more general
throughout the country than any
other known to the gardener or the
cook, and it is made to enter into
more dishes and to serve a greater
variety of purposes than any one
plant known to the dietary of the
American world. 1t is no longer a
garden plant in the sense that it is
not also farm product, for they are
grown in fields of from five to TWEEN
ty-fiVe acres. and made to produce a
SERIES of crops from early summer
until the frost comes. Like the
mcst of our vegetable products
this cultivation of the tomato may be
made profitable or not, as the man
RAINING the business has the capac-
Gty to produce the earliest, sustain a
succession of good crops throughout
the season, and see that he has a
market for all that he can produce.
1t is always in season to open for
consideration and discussion the
problem as to how best we may un-
derCake the work for next year. To
this end Colman's Rural World has
the pleasure of submitting the fol-
lowing from q bulletin issued by
Cornell University experimenting
station.
''In discussing the use of fertilizers
for this crop it is advised to use such

that the plant may bear an early
crop. Well dec0mposed manure or
soluble fertilizers are best adapted
to this purpose.
''In regard to the matter of the
early or late setting OUT If plants. the
experiments for three successive years
show that early setting is an import
ant matter, and that the cold winds
of May do not injure the plants,
and even slight frost does not al
ways seriously retard them.
lin regard to the best time for seed
and whether artificial heat is needed,
the experiments show that the earli-
est fruit is obtained from the earliest
sowing of seed. January 10; but
that by the end of August tie seed

fruit 1t is advised to sow some
seed early, about February 10 to the
first of March, and to SOW again for
the main crop about the middle of
March. Frequent transplanting of
the plants makes them more stocky
and promotes early fruiting Plants

than those grown in the bed or in
fats Plants grown from cuttings
seem to bear earlier and heavier
crops than those grown from seed,

alike in different years.
Seed saved from late fruit is much
more productive than seed from the
first fruit Seed should be selected
from plants that bear early, but not
the earliest fruits from ordinary
plants Seed from ripe fruit give
better and earlier fruit than when
taken from unripe fruit.

Horticultural Hints.

When a good orchard can be es-
tablished it is an easy way to make
a farm more valuable.
1t is said that busting turnip plants
" IN wood ashes will protect them
against the fly.
Nothing is aimed but much is lost
in planting apple trees too close to-
gether. Give them thirty feet apart
at least.
A moderate crop OF good fruif
every year is better and more profit
able than a large crop of inferior fruit
every other year.
A well-known horticulturist says
that by cutting out the black knot he
keeps his plum trees Tree from it,
excepting where his field adjoina
neighbors who do not cut it out.
Fruit trees are more liable t6 bear
every year If they are not allowed to
overbear. While thinning fruit when
too thick gives better quality, il
also gives better chance to the
tree for next years fruit

RULES and Note. on Feeding.

The following rules are the result
OF experiments by the Missouri ex-
pertinent stations:
l. Feeding animals as much as
they can digest without injuring
their health.
2 Feed a balanced ration" g.,
one in which the composition is in
proportion to their needs.
8. Food is required to maintain
animal heat; save food by providing
warm but ventilated shelter for your
stock.
4. Stimulate the digestive capacity
OF your animal by variety of food,
salt. ETC.
Stock foods are composed of sub
stances usually arranged into six
groups.
/. Water. The amount varies with
kind of food, 1t is of no economic
importance.
2. Ash. This is the residue left
after burning away the combustible
portions 1t supplies the mineral
ingredients to the animal body. A
portion of the ash has q manurial
value.
8. Protein This is the nitrogen
GUS portion OF the food 1t is used in
the animal economy to form mus
Gle" aud all other heterogeneous por-
tlons OF the body; it also aids in the
formation OF fat. Il is the most val
liable Ingredient
4 Fat This substance produces 8
animal heat, or is stored up in the
body as fat for future use. One
pound Of fat will produce as much
heat as two and one-half pounds of
carbohydrates
s. Carbohydrates. This group
includes the starches, gums. sugars.
etc They produce fat and heat
6. Fibre. This substance has
about the same composition as the
Carbohy drates, but it Is much less di-
gestible; it is of but little value.

inquired gravely, ''But when are you

In the neighborhood Of cities ana
large villages market gardening offers
advantages to shose adapted TO the
business But not more than one man
ln twenty will make O success OF
market gardening, because only in
that proportion are individuals adapt

true Of the poultry business and bee
keeping. But there are certain lines
which form a sort of common ground.
Among these is the keeping of cows
