Tomatoes Under Glass.

The best results gained at the New
York station in growing tomatoes under
glass was with Lorillard trained to sim
gle stems In bulletin on the subject
it is stated that the fruits on the single
stem plants are heavier and greater in
number lor equal areas so that the total
yield per square foot of bench surface is
decidedly larger. The amount of fruis
ripenod during the first six weeks Of
fruiting is much greater for the single
stem plants, although i'll many instances
the first fruits ripened were upon the
three stem plants.
In comparing the plants grown in
pots and III the benches very slight diff
fereuces were found when the plants
were trained to single stem, but with
the three stem system retaining the pots
seems to DO a decided disadvantage, as
shown by the less number of fruits and
smaller total yield of plants thus checked
in growth.

the department of agriculture shows
that the poi 1897 amounted to $50, :

A writer in The Farm Journal says
In applying commercial fertilizers to
garden crops sow the fertilizer along
between the rows at planting time and
then draw this fertilized ground up to
the plants instead OF applying directly.
The latest craze in some sections in
growing tobacco is to shade it or to par
TALLY protect it from the full rays Of
the hot summers sun.
Information comes from the agricul-
tural department that no less than 20

JoHNsoN,s QUICK WIT.
How the Ex-President Displayed II on the
stump In Tennessee.

There Is in the city Of Memphis
precinct known as Pinch, in which a
majority Of the voters were Irish. IL so
happened that Andrew Johnson and his
opponent for the United States senate,
Gus Henry, were to meet In joint de-
bate in this precinct. The evening came,
and hundreds of blue Irish eyes were on
the two speakers as they assembled the
rostrum. Henry opened, and as bid
for the Irish vote he told in whitening
terms how johnson, when in congress
before, had voted against a bill for an
appropriation to assist Ireland during
time of famine He himself had done
yeoman work for the passage of the bill,
while this other man, who was now
asking their support, had done every
thing possible to defeat it, TWAS fine
point, and the speaker made the most
of it, burning before it the lamp Of his
eloquence until the crowd were wild
with excitement. Then Henry sat down,
and Johnson got up amid catcalls and
SCOTS to answer him.
"What my opponent has told you is
true T" he said. "Ireland was suffering,
and voted against an appropriation for
her relief, for the money which it was
thus proposed 20 give away was not
mine, but yours; yours because it was
in the public Golfers | refused to give
away money which did not belong to
me, but went down into my own peck
ct and out of my own private funds
which had right to bestow-l sub
scribed $500 to the relief fund which was
being quietly raised. How much of his
own money did MIR. Henry give? Not a
cent. He was too busy trying to give
away yours. Now, gentlemen, which of
us two did the better part by suffering
Irelandy" The effect Of this was magical.
The catcalls were now for Henry and
the cheers for johnson.
Thus the campaign went on, ending
in victory for the Elk tailor. who once
more took his place among the statesmen
of the land But his term was short
one, for death soon claimed him. But
he left behind him a reputation as a
stump" speaker which abides still
upon the hastings down in Tennessee.

Setting a Cranberry Bog.

Rural New Yorker says: The req
uisite for q cranberry bog is low,
moist soil which can be drained, and at
the same time be so arranged that by
closing the gates in the drainage ditch
it can be flooded when desired. Such
land is usually marshy or swampy in
its natural state, sometimes covered
with s0fubby growth of trees and
more or less Dogs and hummocks. The
first thing to do is to ditch the ground,
leading all tho side bitches into one
main ditch which can be fitted with Il
gate at its outlet, so that the water may
be allowed to run, or be stopped at
will, to flood the bog. Then the boys,
trees and in fact nearly the whole sur
face must be grubbed out and cleaned
off. This process is called turing, and
sometimes costs several hundred dollars
per acre.
Sometimes an old mill pond is used,
and then there is very little clearing TO
be done After the turing the surface
is covered with several inches Of sand.
The vines to be planted should be
healthy and thrifty. They are cut to
six or eight inches in length and ara
then trodden we'll into the sand. Little
after cultivation is required. Some
times a site intended for bog Is
flooded with water for two or three
years to kill the vegetation, as thls IS
cheaper than turing, but it takes a
longer time.

American Bee journal by the inventor,
]. A. Golden of Ohio. Here is what he
writes concerning his invention
Having an old sewing machine table,
/ nailed some boards together and cut
out a wheel, which is SO inches in cir
conference and has inch face. l at
tached it on the old table, covered the
face of this wheel with medium fine
sand paper by gluing it on, and arrang-
ing a cover so that the face of the wheel
protruded from one-sixteenth to a quar-
ter of an inch, as shown by the picture,
where Flora is in the act of passing a
section over the wheel. 1t will be OBJ
served that there is plenty of room for
full super of sections to be placed on
the table at time.
Now as to how the machine works
Well, it was just fun to clean sections
with it, and so clean and bright that no
one could tell by looking at them after
ward that they ever had propolis on
them, excepting at the scallops, which
have to be scraped out. But if the plain,
no bee way section is used knife will
never be brought into use, as the ma
chine does it all and very speedily.
There ism t a beekeeper in the world
who likes nice, clean section honey that
after seeing this machine and its work
but would make or procure one. As |
am generous to beekeepers / here pub
licly present to them the right to use
and also how to construct it. If there is
any beekeeper in America or any other
country that after dressing half dozen
sections of honey isn't in love with the
machine and its work, let him arise"
and explain the objections.
In conclusion let me add: Bread and
table knives, penknives, scissors or any
small edge tools can be quickly ground
on this wheel the same as an emery
wheel, SO our women folks will now
have no excuse for not having sharp
knives, as any one who can run sew
ing machine can run this section cleaner

NEW YORK JUSTICE.
A City In Which Rival Is Not Held In
Great Esteem.

City In Which Rival Is Not Held In
Great Esteem.
AS is generally known, it is a pun
ishable offense in the state of New York
for any person to attempt to take his
life, although it is not so if the attempt
be successful-which makes self murder
somewhat different legally from tho
other kind. As is also very generally
known, New York, individually and
collectively, is disposed to forever point
the finger of scorn at her large and
growing neighbor, Philadelphia.
Not long ago a prisoner was before a
New York judge charged with attempt
ed suicide. and the judge, being man
who lived on Easy street, where it was
sunny in winter and shady in summer,
frowned fercely ON the culprit because
he couldn't understand how any man
would want to quit this life until he
was forced>to do SO.
Your honor" pleaded the culprit,
looking into the frowning face of jus.
tice, there were mitigating circum-
stances. -
The judge frowned more fiercely at
the thought of offering an excuse for
such crime and said nothing.
but there were, your honor, " insist.
ed the prisoner. 1.-The firm am work
ing for informed me last Saturday night
that would have to go to Philadelphia
to live, as they were compelled to make
change.
The judges entire demeanor under.

Mortified tone. 1.-THE prisoner is acquit-
ted and the clerk will please make out

SPRINKLER FOR LIoUID MANURE.

an instant, and all distractions are
washed away. The rate of application
is controlled by raising the gate little or
much A pail with long handle fas-
tened to it in the form Of large dipper
is used for filling the tank.
A writer in the Journal alluded to
says that large boat pump may work
better for filling the tank than the pail
dipper, but he doubts if better rig can
be found for distributing liquid manure
than the one described. Where the land
is not level it is necessary to drive di-
rectly up and down the grade while
sprinkling to prevent more of the liquid
going to one side than the other. The
writer quoted says: ut is doubtful
whether the system of liquid manuring
is economical No doubt grass lands
will respond to this treatment admira-
bly, but, as much water must be added
to the urine to prevent rapid decompo-
sition if held for time and to keep it
from injuring the foliage when applied,
the labor of handling becomes as great
as or greater than it would be were abb
sorbents used to take up the liquid ex-
crement.
