IN the colliery fields of South Stat
fordshire. England, hundreds of
acres of land are covered with shale
or waste material from mines. 1t is
kind of slate-coloted clay. This
material. when ground and other
wise manipulated. proves to be an
excellent material for the manufac-
ture OF bricks. These bricks, when
taken from the kiln. are as uniform
and rich in color as those made from
red clay and their qualities are of
such a nature as to insure an indus

Executions In China.

At Canton the average number of
executions is about SO) per year.
but in 1885. so. 00) rebels were be-
headed. Females are sometimes
strangled and the worst criminals
are nailed upon cross. Sometimes
the sentence directs that the crimi-
nal. while living. shall be cut into a
number OF pieces. which number never
exceeds thirty-six. The headsman
formerly received 81 head, but the
supply and competition has reduced
the wage to fifty cents apiece. Most
criminals who are beheaded are
water pirates and land bandits.

Horticultural Hats.

When good orchard can be es-
tablished it is an easy way to make
farm more valuable.
Medium-sized Strawberries are con-
sidered more profitable than larger
ones.
1t is said that busting turnip plants
with wood ashes will protect them
against the fly.
Nothing is gained but much is lost
in planting apple trees too close to-
gether. Givo them thirty feet apart
at least.
A moderate crop of good fruit
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 adioins
neighbors who do not cut it out.
Fruit trees are more liable. to bear
every year ii they are not allowed to
overbear. While thinning fruit when
too thick gives better quality. it
also gives better chance to the
tree for next years fruit.

Tomato raru,lnr.

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 1t is male to enter into
more dishes and to serve 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 u farm product. for they are
grown in fields OF from five to twen-
ty-hve acres. and made to produce a
series OF crops from early summer
until the frost comes. Like the
most OF our vegetable products
the cultivation OF the tomato may be
made profitable or not. as the man
running the business has the capac-
ity 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.
IL Is always in season to open for
consideration and discussion the
problem os to how best we may un-
dertake the work for next year. To
this end COlman's Rural World has
the pleasure of submitting the fol-
lowing from a bulletin issued by
Cornell University experimenting
station.
I'm discussing the use OF fertilizers
for this crop it is advised to use such
as are quick in their action in order
that the plant may bear an early
crop Well decomposed manure or
soluble Fertilizers are best adapted
to this purpose.
"ln regard to the matter of the
carly or late setting out of plants. the
experiments for three successive years
show that early setting is an import
an; matter. and that the cold winds
OF May do not injuge the plants.
and even slight frost does not al
ways seriously retard them
''ln regard to tho 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 19; but
that by tho end of August the seed
sowE February "a had borne more
fruit. II 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
grow min pots are better and earlier
than those grown in the bed or in
fats Plants grown from cuttings
seem to bear earlier and heavier
srops than those grown from seed.
bat the results are not uniformly
alike in different years
Seed saved from late fruit is much
more productive than seed from the
7 first fruit Seed should be selected
from plants that bear early, but moi
the earliest fruits from ordinary
plants Seed from ripe fruit give
better and earlier fruit than wher
taken from unripe fruit"
