Experiments in tomato growing con-
Quoted at the New York Cornell station
have been reported upon. The nature of
the experiments and their main results
may DO briefly indicated as follows: %
Nitrate of soda applied once early in the
season gave better results than divided
continued until late in the
season; (2) nitrate of soda alone gave the
largest yield before frost and the largest
total crop on fairly good soil; (3) the re
lation Of variety to fertilizing is not
clearly indicated by the experiments thus
far made; "a early setting MAY 81 was
better than late setting; % seeds for tho
main crop should be sown in March un-
der glass; 80 transplanting should be
done at least twice; % pot grown plants
did better than fiat grown plants; ~ the
results Of comparisons of seedlings and
cuttings were conflicting; (9) there was
fruits; Q0l seeds from mature fruit gave
earlier and better yields than those from
TN immature fruit; az "leggy' plants
when layercd at planting gave relatively
large yields; (l2) shearing off the tops of
plants did not materially affect the yield;
49, killing did not give favorable results;
Ci4) the results from trimming during
three years were indecisive; l5) single
stem training increased yield and earli-
TESS; 16) fruit rot apparently was not in,
huer ced by method OF culture orvariety;
lQ0 southern blight has appeared in New
York; dS) of the new varieties tested in
1862 none proved better than some Older
varieties.

What years and years of labor will
men not go through in order to gain tho
esteem Of their fellow man! Yet how
uncertain the reward. A thousand sue
cesses, single mistake, and all is lost.
1t is said now that if Admiral Tryon had
livod he might have been shot for his
great blunder. Only those who die or
retire at the right moment can hope to
retain what they have earned of fame.
Perhaps tho cause of this smashing of
idols for first offense is that, feeling
ourselves equal as a whole to the idol,
We take advantage of tho first error that
shows the lack Of supposed superiority
to knock the idol down to the common
level. Certain qualities may cause men
TO become famous, but it is doubtful if
in the eyes Of an all seeing Spirit we are
not all about as evenly made up of what
VIC call bad and good qualities as to
r,ake claim for any superiority other
than animal superiority ridiculous. -.

TRANSVERSE AND VERTICAL SECTIONS OF
ATTACHMENT.
The operation of the pump is plain.
The water enters through the ordinary
channel, the kerosene through the side
channel, while the valve in closing closes
both channels. The mechanical mixture
secured by this apparatus, while not alb
solutely permanent, is sufficiently slow
of separation for safe use on plants I'M
less the amount of kerosene exceeds 10
per cent. If it is desired to change the
proportion of kerosene, the stop cock is
turned in the desired direction, and when
one wants to spray with water only the
stop cock may be closed or both tubes
placed in the water. Farmers in posses
sion of spraying pumps will appreciate
this attachment, which is not patented
that secures a thorough and rapid mix
'ture of kerosene and water during the
spraying process. Bisulphide of carbon
sprayed with water through this attach
ment makes mixture that is sufficient
ly permanent for practical purposes.

ed with more or less difficulty. Profess
or Golf, in the hope of discovering a
method by which the kerosene and wa
ter could be so intimately commingled
during the spraying process as to do
away with the necessity of preparing the
emulsion separately, began experiments
in this line which We're continued through
several seasons until satisfactory results
were gained.
The method is very simple and con-
sists in SO constructing the lower valve
seat of pump that it allows the entrance
of water through one opening and kero-
sene through another, the two liquids
becoming mixed in passing through the
valves and cylinder of the pump and
finally broken up into an exceedingly
fine spray by being forced through good
spraying nozzle.
The pump used by Professor Golf was
! the Little Climax" but other spraying
pumps on the market would, it is be-
lieved, answer as well with similar mod
| lfications. This pump. " lin its kerosene
attachment, is shown III the first cut
The modification is illustrated in detail
in the second cut, where the first figure
represents transverse and the second a
vertical section of the valve seat. In the
pump used the valve and valve seats are
of brass. The lower valve shown at A,
Fig. 2, is held in place by screw, B,
which fits into q bridge, c Gigs. and y,
Extending across the center of the orifice
