TOMATO CULTURE.

There are probably more tomatoes
used, and served in a greater number
Of ways than any ether vegetable, be-
sides its taking the place Of the fruits
when served in It's raw state. The to-
mato is a gross feeder, sending its roots
down deep for food The best way to
grow tomatoes is to throw Out the soil
to the depth of two feet, with an equal
diameter. Put six inches of well rOtted
manure at the bottom and fill tho hole
with the materisl thrown out, made
rich. Where there is sufficient ground
the hills should be eight feet apart.
Plants treated in this way will yield far
more fruit than if planted closer. The
plants when set should be short and
stocky. Those frequently sold in the
markets, and set in the usual way, will
not produce as much fruit, or as quickly,
as would the plants from seed sown
where they are to grow. Tall leggy
plants can be planted to advantage by
inserting the plant little distance from
the center of the hill prepared for it,
then bending the plant down and COW
ering it with earth to the depth Of an
inch, leaving the top out more than
two inches. The plant will Immediately
commence throwing out roots thlckly
the whole length of the buried stem,
and make q strong rapid growing plant.
The same plant treated in the usual
manner, seems to grow smaller, instead
of larger, for some days or weeks. If
the plant has plenty of room to spread,
it does best when trailing upon the
ground. the influence of the warm earth
being very beneficial upon the ripen-
ing of the fruit. But in wet seasons
there are serious objections to this
plan, as the fruit is quite liable to rot
if lying on wet ground. Yet in average
seasons the chances are in favor of mo
care" in training the plants. The num-
Der of first class sorts is now SO great
that in the selection of varieties, one
must be guided by individual prefer
ence. A medium sized fruit, perfectly
smooth, Of bright red color, ripening
evenly clear to the stem, without q
hard center, and with as little seed as
possible, is the nearest approach to
perfection. Yet under different con-
ditions the same seed produces very
different results. For late crop it is
advisable to SOW some seed where the
plants are to grow, about the first of
June, Or at any time before the 18th.
The plants will come into bearing when
the early set plants begin to fail. The
cutting off of the first fruits that set is
strongly to be urged. These early
fruits rarely make good specimens, as
the plant at that time has not sufficient
strength for their developments

nitrogen. and this can be supplied by
q dressing of barnyard manure every
second year. That gives a complete
fertilizer for the orchard.
A good artificial fertilizer, according
to Professor James, for an acre OF
ground would be as follows: Wood
ashes, forty bushels; crushed bones,
to give phosphoric acid, 100 pounds;
and sulphate Of ammonia. to give as
the nitrogen, 400 pounds. This would
cost IS. so an acre and be a very com
plete fertilizer indeed. l would not
advise that this should be used at once,
but spread over the first part of the
growing season in two or three apph-
cations Advocate.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

MAKING FLOWERS PROFITABLE.

We don't mean that the farmer who
grows flowers should vie with the for
list in selling what he produces to the
public. 1t is possible that the flowers
produced by the farmer would come
mostly at times when such flowers were
abundant, and brought low prices
But they are worth just as much to
beautify his home and give pleasure to
the farmers wife and family as if they
sold at winter hot house prices. 1t IS
because farmers do not realize the
pleasures and comforts they get from
the farm that they think farming don't
pay. Few rich men can deck their
tables with flowers half the year at
least as can the farmer if he tries. He
can with some hardy perrennlals begin
about as soon as snow IS off in spring,
and decorate his rooms with these and
their successors until snow flies in the
fall. When farmer does this one or
two years he will probably try hard for
a greenhouse, and thus get more pleas
gre, though of course with some addi-
4ional work. 1t is not easy to gain
honest pleasure in this world without
working for it, and it is always the
work that precedes that makes the
pleasure more welcome and enjoyable.

FERTILIzING THE ORCHARD.

The question is often asked, would
you manure just around the tree or the
whole surface of the ground? The
most approved practice is to manure
the whole surface of the ground. 1t
has been found that potash is one of
the constituents that our fruit trees
draw most heavily from the soil, and
we must, therefore, in order to keep
the balance even return this to the soil
in larger quantities than other fer
tiliZers.
The most convenient and cheapest
way of applying this element is in the
form of wood ashes, in bushel of
which there are about three pounds of
potash, worth four cents per pound, or
tweleve cents for the bushel Then
We have about one pound of phosphoric
acid, worth four cents, which will give
us a total of sixteen cents for these
two constituents alone. Both of these
are very valuable agents for orchard
ASe.
Besides these in wood ashes are lime.
magnesia and iron, also important fer
ohzers. This makes very valuable
ana almost complete fertilizer for
orchards. But in addition We need
