Gently brought out BY Livingston, the

posure. 1t had been occupied with
strawberries for three years previously

about the middle of May. On this soil

rows we're 3 feet apart and the plants
set 2 feet in the row. Rock phosphate
400 pounds. and 100 pounds high grade

in the row.
found this new tomato the most sat
isfActory Of any l have ever raised -
The same color and nearly the SAME
size Of the New Stone, the fruit is very
smooth, with no stem cracks, no green
cores, very firm and of superior favor
Though borne 10 great abundance, il
was held up well from the ground BY
the unusually strong stems. So upright
was the growth of stem that was en-.
abled to cultivate with horse until the
fruit began to ripen about August L.
1t ripened with the Dwarf Champion,
though twice the size, and gave almost
400 bushels of merchantable fruit per
acre
In the cultivation Of the later yiney
varieties | End an immense advantage
in mulching between the rows immedi-
stely after the last cultivation, using a
least three tons Of wheat or rye straw
per acre. This helps to hold up th'
stems, keeps the fruit from the ground
preserving it from being sauded. AuC

Timely Hints About Sheep,

Care should be the watchword at all
seasons, but more especially when the
lambs are being dropped The ewes
need plenty Of fresh air and exercise
and good warm Enclosure in which
they should be compelled to stay nights
and on rainy days. A few good hurdles
should be constructed to separate the
ewes from the rest Of the flock till the
lambs are three or four days old. These
need not be more than 5x6 feet. Feed
is of prime importance to the breeding
eve. This should consist primarily Of
clover hay and oats, supplemented BY q
few roots. If the above ration cannot
be had, wheat bran, oats, good bright
corn fodder and mixed hay may be sub
stituted.
Early lambs need special care. Much
attention should be given TO feeding
The ewes supply Of milk soon ceases to
satisfy the cravings of their growing
appetites and they early learn to ea'
both hay and grain. LAMBS should
have a run Of their own, to which the
sheep have no access. Here the lambs
may pro6tably be fed little clover bay
and ground oats, or, what would be bet
ter still, oatmeal. As the grass begini
to grow great care should be exercised
in not making too rapid change from
the dry to the succulent food, as at tina
time sheep are very susceptible to sCours
The male lambs should be castrated be
fore they are three weeks old, il th,
conditions Of the weather are favorable
as less danger attends the operation Q
this age than at any other time. Thil
is most easily done by shipping Of The
lower end of the scrotum, when the ties.
ticIes protruds and can be taken away
with little or no trouble.
All lambs should be docked, the ear.
lier the better This operation Is very
simple and can be performed BY almost
any one, A convenient device is q
block Of hard wood, about foot high
Lay the lambs tail on the block and
draw the skin on the tail toward the
rump. Part the wool about 2 inche:
from the rump and with q sharp chise
and mallet the operation is quickly per
