Possibilities of Tomato.

"If you could keep the frost away
from q tomato vine for couple or
years 1t would get to be a fair-sized
tree" says the Texas Farmer. This
occurs sometimes in Florida-in years
when the frost king leaves that State
alone. By the same sign, You can plant
tomatoes in the winter In Florida and
have them grow all the spring and sum-
mer and fall. and under the right con-
ditions they become very large. The
mldrib of the leaf of such a tomato
plant will grow to be eighteen Inches
long. a veritable tree limb.
Six feet is the height to which the to-
matoes should be trained, and pruned
to a single stem. They can be made
to grow ten or fifteen feet as well, but
this is an inconvenient height"

A pretty experiment can be made
with a hand mirror any night when
there is a full moon. Hold the mirror
so that the moons image will be seen
In it and you will be surprised to see
four moons instead of one. One moon
will be very bright. but the other three
will be in a straight line and quite
dull, one dull image on one side of the
bright moon and the other two on the
other side. Turn the mirror around
slowly, still holding its face to the
moon,. and the reflections will seem to
revOlve around a common center.
You can make the same experiment
with any one Of the very bright stars,
such as Sirius, Venus or Jupiter, but
with these there will be three images
instead of four. as the number seen de-
ponds on the breadth of the object.
The explanation is simple. There arc
two surfaces in a mirror, one In front
and the other where the quicksilver Is.

object itself, the others are what 10

of wonder and is an interesting expert

Advertise Your Poultry.

There was a farmer who had been
breeding pure-blood chickens for some
years. and he always sold what he had
in poultry and eggs, without any trou-
bic to his neighbors and little market
town, but he had never thought about
pushing this little by-business Of his
regular vocation Of farming.
Finally it was suggested TO him that
he ought to advertise the poultry
branch of his business and extend 1t
somewhat, but he was timid about sink
ing a few dollars already in hand In
printers ink with the view of getting
uncertain dollars. Finally, however
after talking the matter over with his
wife. he invested a few dollars. He
made SAC out Of this venture. He now
advertises extensively and does a big
business

In regard to cutting potatoes a very
large number Of experiments heve
proved that whole potatoes are best
for warm. high land, and for very
early potatoes they will not only yiold
enough more to pay the cost OF the
seed, but will produce crop from
week to ten days earlier than cut po-
tatoes, which will sometimes make
difference IN price of from 30 cents to
81 per bushel. But on rich, moist
lands the difference between whole and
cut potatoes is not so great In the
first place. on a rich, moist soil, 1t Is
not so important to secure an early
vigorous growth as it is on warm. dry
soil, and in the second place, not being
planted too deep below the surround
ing land. there is a tendency to the
production of a larger number of stalks
than on dry land, but even as a rule
it will be better to plant Il whole
medium-sized potato.

Pediureed Seeds.

The achievements of the plant breed
ers in the development of pedigree
seeds are quite wonderful, considering
the difficulties of fixing permanently
characteristics resulting from hybridi-
cation. For instance, when species of
rye with different types of heads are
crossed 1t is found that the female
parent is neither alone nor most prom
Inent when exerting its influence on
the product and its progeny. In about
one-half of the plants of the first gem
GRAFTON of rye crosses the type of head
and form Of seed of the male parent
were prevalent. while in the other half
the same characteristics of the female
predominated. In the second genera
ton the individuals split up into groups
OF either one type or the other. One
fourth of the number Of individuals
showed the spike characteristics OF the
female parent, one-fourth those OF the
male parent and one-half intermediate
forms-Agricultural Epitomist-

Now Method of Graftine.

Before a meeting of the American
Pathological Society the following meth
cd Of grating was described by
gentleman from Colorado. who stated
that it was the most successful meth
cd that he had employed in top-work-
Ing old orchards, and that it could be
used on branches as large as four
inches in diameter with great success.
1t impresses one as being possibly bet
ter than ordinary cleft grating for
large stocks, from the fact that the
surfaces of the union were all smooth
and the sclons held more firmly. The
method of procedure is as follows: At
ter determining where the graft had
better go the stock is cut Off with a
fine saw and the cut made In the side
of the stock, as shown at "a" This
is then cleaned out with a knife. as
shown at B. a saddler's knife is
used for this purpose, outline of which
is shown at "E." The scion Is cut as
Is usual in cleft grating and is driven
with some little force into the groove
of the stock as shown at "C'' and In

No animal can remain at a standstill
without loss to its owner. If rne ani-
NAL is not gaining, then the labor and
food are wasted. If the animal loses
only a pound in weight, then the farm
er suffers loss of that which he once
had, and he must incur additional ex-
pense to recover that additional pound,
but the time lost cannot be recovered.
These facts show the Importance of
keeping the stock in good condition and
having an animal make an Increase
daily. When there is a falling off in
tie weight, or the yield Of milk is re
duced, the cause should be sought, and
if an error has occurred, or there Is
fault in the management, a change fol
the better should be made without de
lay.

Feeding Animals.

1t is economical to feed only as much
as may be required If too much car
bonaceous material be fed to an ami
NAL the excess will be a loss, for the
reason that the animal will assimilate
and appropriate only the actual amount
necessary for the purpose required by
the system; and even when the farmer
feeds literally Of carbonaceOus material
he may starve his animals If they do
not receive heterogeneous food, for which
reason 1t may be noticed that on some
farms, where the stock Is literally pro-
vided with certain kinds Of food, the
animals are not thrifty, the young ones
do not grow, and the farmer Is annoyed
at the unsatisfactory results of what
he suppcses is good management, when
the cause is a lack of perhaps only a
single element, which, In connection
with a less quantity of one of the kinds
OF food given, would produce radical
change. 1t Is important then, In order
to derive the best results from feeding
animals. that the farmer thoroughly
understands the quality of the mate
rails used. Its feeding value depends
upon the proportions of those elements
best adapted to the purposes in view,
for unless a perfect knowledge Of the
comDosition of feeding stuffs is gained
by the farmer he may feed at loss and
derive but little benefit from his stock

BIRDS CROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Some of Them Can Make Trip in
Less than Nine Hours.

Some OF Them Can Make Trip in
Less than Nine Hours.
The presence of American birds In
this country raises the interesting
question, How do they cross the Inter
yening 1000 miles of ocean? Can we
suppose a bird is capable Of sustained
flight for a sufficiently long period to
accomplish this? On the supposition
that the yellow shank can fly at the
rate of 100 miles an hour 1t would ac-
complish the distance In fourteen
hours. And then it must be remem-
bered that this bird, being a wader,
would be able to rest from time to time
on the water.
AS regards the rate Of fight attained
by birds in their migratory journeys,
some interesting computations are to
be found in Katke's "Heligoland as an
Ornithological Observatory" His fig
ures are 125 miles an hour for the
northern blue throat and 245 for the
Virginia plover. At the last rate the
Atlantic could be crossed in about eight
and three-quarter hours. Some six 9TH
er American birds, including the red
crested snipe and Eskimo curlew, are
recorded from the Sicily Islands.
Other American birds, including the
yellow-bllled cuckoo, have been record
ed in Ireland. And in connection with
this crossing Of the Atlantic by Amer
lean birds 1t is interesting to note an
apparent attempt to cross in the oppo
site direction. In British association
report for 1887 we read:
"At Rathtlin O'Birne West Done
gall immense fiocks Of Understandings
thrushes and fieldfares-passed ives
from Dec. IS to %. The nearest lanC
to the west Of this rock island is Amer
lea. This is not an isolated occurrence
The westerly flight of land birds a
stations Off the west coast of IRELAND
has been noticed on other occasions"
1t would be interesting to know +
any OF these enterprising migrant
ever reached the other side.-Londol

PENNIES BY THE MILLION.

Twenty-Five Tons of Them in Lon
don Slot Gas Machines Weekly.
An English penny is so nearly 2 cents
Of our currency that the difference is
negligible 1t is given out that the
South Metropolitan Gas Company,
which does a large business on the
south side of London, takes about "a
tons of pennies from the slot machine,
every week. These slot machines are
used for the purpose of supplying gas
to the poorer classes who are compelled
to buy it in small quantities, a penny
paving for about twenty eight cubic
feet. The company has perhaps 2OO,-
600 of these slot machines in opera
ton.
1t becomes an interesting question
how much money Is represented by 20
tons of pennies. An English penny
weighs approximately 146 grains. As
a pound avoirdupois contains 1000
grains, the pennies run very near 10
4S to the pound. A long ton, or 2,2IO
pounds, would therefore make 1O7 500
pennies, and % tons would mean .
6SS,OOO. These would be worth $685.
go, a large sum, indeed, but hardly
so large as the great weight would lead
us to expect.
In a year, however, the slot machines
would mean payment for four billion
cubic feet Of gas, which Is less than
one third of the amount annually sold
by the company. At the same time ii
shows an immense value for small
retail trade to the classes that are SO
poor that they buy a penny's worth OF
gas at a time. In this case a slot ma
, chine supplies a real want and while
the poor many pay more for gas in sucl
small quantities, they are at least en-
abled to purchase it in quantities with

TIE WEALTH OF POVERTY.

Wealth bides with poverty. The wilding
rose,
Or little violet nesting by the stream,
'Tis these that set the gazing eyes
a-dream,
Not all the beauties Of the garden-close.
It's not in mighty tempest where 1t blows,
Nor in the sea that shouts to cloud and
sail,
That music lives, but in the nightingale,
The wee, brown bird that sings at dusk
it's woes.
Yea. and the crowns of happiness and
love,
Grace not the troubled brows of king
and queen;
But, Fate's free gifts, they deck the
hearts that move
In lowly state amid the quiet scene.

But passing beggar hath the peace OF

she will be pretty apt to break some

which had been captured by George
Washington at Trenton in the previous
December, to play in the public square

that these involuntary celebrants were
obliged to practice appropriate airs for
three weeks previously in order that
they could not plead ignorance as ar
excuse.

strawberries.

There is one advantage In growing
strawberries in preference to other
fruits. which is that less capital is re
quired and the crops come sooner.
Plants set out this spring will send
ont runners and form matted rows full
of berries next year. If kept clean
the rows will give two or three crops,
with a partial crop after the bed is
old. The proper mode, however, is to
make a new bed each year, as the cost
is but little comparatively.
