Growing Tomatoes.
At. F. G. Johnson, in an article in the
''Skw-tdo Dispatch, on “Tomatoes and their
Culture,” says there is “one plan forgetting
ttmatoes into market early which I have
never seen described and I thought I would
give it to your readers if you care to print
it. It is not exactly anew way either but
a great improvement I think on the old way
of using pots. It is this: When going home
from the city market during the summer I
generally drive out an alley and can nearly
always pick up, before I get out of town, a
wagon load of tin cans mos ly of the sizes
in which corn and tomatoes are packed.
These I throw down in some out of the way
place until I have gathered together as many
as I need. During the winter —when not
busy—we build a tire between two logs and
when we get a good bed of coals, throw on
a bushel or so of the cans. In an incredibly’
short timo the tops and bottoms will drop
ofT and the sides imp open, then with a long
stick we toss them out. The operation is
then repeated, and so on until all are opened.
They are then gathered up and put away.
Borne fine broom wire is next procured and
cut with nippers so that when the ends are
hooked and fastened together they will each
make a loop of the proper size to go over a
can. The sides of the can should be lapped
say three-quarters of an inch. The natural
spring of the can will keep the wire in its
place. The cans are all prepared in this
way and stored in some old shed till needed
in spring. About three months before it is
safe to set plants in the open ground we
make a hot bed and sow the seed. In about
six weeks the plants will be about three or
four inches high, when a milder hotbed is
made and the cans set in as thick as they
will stand and filled with rich soil. Into
each can is set one plant and allowed to
grow for four or five weeks until they begin
to crowd, then they may be separated so as
to have plenty of room and let stand until
safe to plant out. When the ground is
marked off take a [spade and throw out a
spadeful of soil where each plant is to grow
(and if a little bonedust or other fertilizer
is mixed in so much the better). Now lift
the plants, can, soil and all, and set in boxes
convenient to handle and haul to the field;
set can and all into the hole so that when
the soil is drawn in the surface will be about
one inch higher than top of can. Cut the
wire with a nipper and lift the can off; this
will leave the roots absolutely undisturbed.
Hoe in the soil and the work is done. Plants
so set out will never wilt. It is a grand
plan to wet the plants well before lifting
from the bed. In this way I have often
made a good thing off an acre of plants
before others have any to sell.
“A great deal, however, depends on the
seed you use. I used to use Acme but have
lately used Livingston’s Beauty.”
The Russian Apple in Florida.
It would seem at present, saysth e Florida
Agriculturist, that the Astrachania family
of apples do best in South Florida. One
would naturally suppose that the wild apple
of Southern Europe would be the parent of
our successful sorts. We have, however,
many instances of Red Astraehan and
Duchess of Oldenburg doing well here.
Should future experiment bear out this
promise it must be because of inherent vig
or. The Russian apples have traveled from
Western Asia to the wide plains of the Rus
sian Empire, adapting themselves to the
most widely varying conditions of heat,
cold, dryness and humidity. In the United
States they succeed almost universally,
tieing grown farthest North and farthest
West of any.
The characteristics of the Russians are
thick, stout, buds, huge, thick leaves, hav
ing few pores and a good heavy system of
roots. This peculiar quality of leaf no doubt
gives the ability to bear the extremes of
summer heat and winter cold, coupled often
with excessively dry air, and the general
vigor throughout seems to give ability to
succeed under quite varying conditions of
soil and climate.
The varieties mentioned possess the bdst
qualities found in an apple, being of good
size, very smooth, of good flavor and are
quite acid. No apple cooks better. I have
seen the Tetofsky as a large tree and doing
particularly well in Southern Kansas, even
better than far north. It is an early apple.
As to season the list would run thus: Te
tofsky, Red Astraehan, Duchess of Olden
burg. Wealthy would come next in sea
son, and probably is the best, certainly the
best looking. It is of Russian descent.
I have only mentioned those Russians
that have adapted themselves to all regions
and become favorites everywhere. There
are many hybrids of Siberian apples with
common sorts of considerable excellence,
some of which may be of use here. Should
the plan of working this family, or the
common apple, on LeConte stocks, work as
well as experiments seem to indicate, we
will be able to add still another to the Val
uable fruits of Florida.
Exterminating the Potato Bug.
The Colorado potato beetle appeared on a
potato field at MaliUch, Torgan, Germany,
on July 8 last, being the "first instance of
the kind on the Continent. .The effective
measures that were taken to exterminate
the pest and with apparent success, are a
striking example of how similar measures
might effect a great saving in this country
from attaclrs of new insects.
As seon as the attack was discovered the
whole surrounding country for six and a
quarter miles was quarantined and all fields
inspected by specially appointed surveyors.
Placards with colored illustrations of the
insect were distributed everywhere in order
to put the inhabitants on their guard. A
thorough investigation disclosed that nine
small potato plantat ons lying close together
and covering about six and a half acres
were attacked. The quarantine was lim
ited to this district and the eggs, larvre and
beetles were gathered under the strictest
supervision. Then the soil was removed
from about the plants, being carefully
searched for larvw and chrysalides. The
plants and roots were then carefully gath
ered and placed in a pit about four feet
deep jn layers four inches thick, each layer
being thormxghiy saturated with raw ben
zine oil which, in a short time, destroyed
the plants and any beetles adhering to
them.
After piling up five such layers the pits
Were completely covered with earth. The
infested fields were then plowed 10 or 12
inches deep, careful men following each
plow and collecting any larvae, chrysalides
or beetles that were turned up. This plan
was followed when the land was harrowed.
and the harrowing was repeated. After all
this search the soil was saturated with raw
benzine oil at the rate of 165 pounds to 47
square feet, and the fields were then shut
up. The fields will not be cultivated next
year, but will be strictly examined from
time to time, small groups of potatoes being
planted to attract whatever insects may
survive. Raw petroleum is equally as effi
cacious as the other oil and was used in some
cases. This is a good example of the thor
oughness practiced in German farming.
Care of Lamps.
A writer in the New Orleans Picayune
says that cleaning lamps is very apt to be
put off until late in the day. This should
not be the case. In many households the
dusk of early evening reminds the hurrying
housewife that her lamps are still neglected
and she then fills them hastily and is obliged
to light one at once. This is wrong, because
the vapor of the oil about a freshly-filled
lamp is liable to explosion. A lamp should
be filled at least two-thirds its depth, and
one which has but a spoonful or two of oil
in it should never be lighted, as the empty
oil space is filled with explosive vapor.
Lamps filled to overflowing are very un
cleanly, soiling everything brought in con
tact with them; and to most persons the
odor of kerosene is extremely unpleasant.
A lampwick should fit exactly into its space
and should be kept clean. When it becomes
black from the sediment in the lamp it must
be thrown away, or washed and dried before
using again. When nearly burned away a
wick may be lengthened by a fold of canton
flannel which, reaching to the bottom of the
lamp, will feed the wick as the oil burns out.
It is not best to put strips of red flannel or
yam into a lamp, as the inside should be
colorless, that any impurities may be seen.
If such appear wash the wick, empty and
cleanse the oil reservoir.
A burner sometimes becomes so cloggod
that it does not allow perfect combustion of
the oil. In such a case remove it from the
lamp, place in cold water in which a sliced
potato has been added and boil an hour or
two; rub with a dry cloth, when it will be
entirely clean and bright as new. To keep
the chimneys shining and clear nothing is
better than daily washing them in soap and
water and rubbing them clear with a soft
cloth free from lint; old print is good for
this purpose. A small sponge attached to a
stick is convenient for wasliing lamp chim
neys.
Hanging lamps are best to use where
there are small children to endanger upset
ting. Common table lamps and small metal
hand lamps on a broad saucer-like base are
the most safe to carry about, as it is nearly
impossible to overturn or break one.
The Hog-Killing Season.
The Southern Cultivator says that hog
killing is the work on farms that is done
this month. Forehanded farmers probably
have already killed a portion of their pork,
but there should be none left to feed through
the hohdays. Every pork hog that can be
made to net over 100 pounds of pork before
Christmas should be sacrificed to the de
mands of the smokehouse. The chances are
altogether in favor of good keeping, sound,
sweet bacon, if the meat be salted down
this month, rather than wait until January.
There will be more time for properly smok
ing and drying the joints before the time of
the appearance of the fly. Besides this, the
pork that is made fat and killed in Novem
ber and December will lie decidedly cheaper
than if compelled to feed heavily through
another month of oold and disagreeable
weather. An ear of corn or a peck of meal
fed to a hog in October or November will
make twice as much pork as the same quan
tity fed in an open pen during the cold,
rainy December or January weather.
The art of butchering hogs is but little
understood by the average negro. It would
shame the most expert “scalder,” or “open
er,” or “cutter” to see how the work is done
in an extensive pork-packing establishment,
such as Armour’s, in Chicago. About scald
ing: By whatever method the water be
heated, it should not be cooler than 150“ nor
hotter than 170" Fahrenheit when a carcass
is dipped into it. One hundred and sixty is
about the proper temperature to make all
the hair "come” easily—without risk of
“setting” any portion. This may be deter
mined by the use of an ordinary thermom
eter, of which every farmer should have
two or three. A little strong ashes added
to the water will cause the scurf to slip
more easily, and a pint of common tar will
greatly facilitate the process.
Indebtedness of Farmers.
Mr. John M. Stahl, in a communication
to the Southern Cultivator, respecting the
indebtedness of farmers of this country,
says: The total of farmers’ indebtedness is
put at $2,000,000,000. This is truly a large
amount. We cannot comprehend it. It is
more than the national debt. But the value
of our farm products every year is $4,000,-
000,000. That is, every year we produce
twice our total indebtedness. Such being
the case, our condition is not desperate by
long odds. Why, if we were to be very
saving for only one year—cut down our
living expenses a little and save fully all
we produced —the gain would pay all we
owe. The fanners of this country do a big
business; they own much property; com
pared with their business and property their
indebtedness is small. Nevertheless, we are
in debt too often and too rnuoh. Some go
in debt for fertilizers, some for land, some
for luxuries of living. Onr indebtedness
ought to be much less than $2.000,000,000.
We ought to be creditors; yet there are
twenty farmers belonging to the debtor
class to every farmer belonging to the cred
itor class. Debt is a very bad thing. Few
things should make a man more sad than to
put a mortgage upon his home. Farmers
are often scolded for their readiness to put
their signature to papers; and we must con
fess that we are too ready to put our names
to papers that are the evidence of debt.
Mites In Poultry House.
Mr. G. S. Chappell, of Jenkinsville, S. C.,
sends to the Southern Cultivator the fol
lowing plan for keeping mites out of poultry
houses: Have the roosting poles isolated
from the walls of the hous?. I set up four
posts and have them well braced, the braces
serving as ladders by which the poultry can
climb to the roost, which is on top of these
posts. The posts should not be very large,
two inches square being sufficient, and about
three or four inches near the ground they
should be kept greased—axle grease will do,
with a little kerosene added. Have not
seen a mite for two years in my poultry
yard. I don't allow the hens to sit in the
house where they roost. To keep large lice
off the young chicks is to keep them off the
hens while sitting Common snuff is the
best thing I ever tried for that purpose.

taste, and lastly the cheese, grated. Beat
all together lightly; spread evenly upon
slices of toast and brown quickly upon the
upper grating of the oven. Strew a little
minced parsley on top.
Farm and Stock Notea.
A French breeder says that by putting
his rams in the prime of life to old ewes in
the decline of life he never failed to get a
large proportion of ram lambs. When he
coupled ewes in the prime and vigor of life
with ram lambs before they were matured
he got a large proportion or ewe lambs.
An experiment in feeding 18 bead of store
cattle with 12 pounds of hay, 35 pounds of
turnips and 9 pounds of wheat bran per
head daily, and also the same amount of
hay and roots, bat with different kinds of
grain, resulted in the lowest cost of produc
tion on the bran ration. This was at the
Ontario Agricultural College.
Cherry trees are often allowed to grow so
high as to make it very inconvenient to
f ather the fruit. If the branches be care
ulty cut off obliquely and then painted
over so as to protect the cut from decay,
there eon be no objection to cutting back
the head. It should be done, however,
while the tree is dormant, January or Feb
ruary perhaps being the best time.
Any domestic animal understands and
appreciates kind treatment. It is no use to
say they are only dumb brutes. It is true,
they cannot talk but, like dumb or blind
men, their intelligence in other respects is
doubled. You can make friends of all your
animals if you take the trouble to do so,
and if you should ever feel lonely you can
banish this feeling by going among your
beasts.
The editor of the Orange County Farmer
says that he grew the Turner Hybrid to
mato or, as it is called by some seedmen
the Mikado, in his home garden for the
second time this season. It was about the
same as last year. Very little rot, but a
very large proportion of the fruit was
more or less wrinkled, some of it so much
so as to be comparatively worthless. In
quality it has no superior, for which reason
he proposes to continue to plant a few of
them.
The New England Farmer says: “Most
persons who set grape vines under reasona
bly favorable conditions have little trouble
in getting one crop of fruit. It is getting
good crops continually that requires skill
and a knowledge of the requisites to success.
Few would let a hen lay all wiuterand then
set her upon all the eggs she had laid, yet
this would be scarcely more unwise than to
let a grape vine carry all the fruit it might
happen to set. Successful grape growing
requires a good deal of pruning and thin
ning of the fruit.”
Where ducks and geese are sent to mar
kets requiring them drawn they may be
scalded; then wrap them in a cloth for two
minutes, when the feathers and down fl-ill
eome off clean. Very early in the season
small chicks sell readily because of the scar
city of larger sizes, but the usually pre
ferred weight is from one to one-and-one
half pound, but later on those of two
pounds are preferred. In winter all stock
can be shipped better and more economi
cally when killed and dressed, but in sum
mer the best mode is to ship poultry alive.
Mr. Hall explained at the Ontario Con
vention how he got his combs built out at
the bottom. He said the bees will build
combs right down if the comb foundation
be heavy enough and brought within half
an inch of the bottom bar. People said
that was costly. If he sheuld lie going to
use comb only one year it would not pay to
use foundation, but he calculated his combs
to last a lifetime, and so was willing to be
at some cost and trouble to get them good.
He used foundation only four feet to the
pound. He was obliged to make his own
comb foundation because be could not get
a manufacturer to make it heavy enough
for him; and this was the secret of obtain
ing such combs as he had at the exhibition,
which had been in use for several years, and
were only average specimens of what his
bees built.
Popular Science.
Some of the animals of Japan are quite
different from the same species that are
seen in America. The cats, for instance,
have the shortest kinds of tails or else none
at all. Being deprived of this usual play
thing they are very solemn pussies. Au
American once took one of these tailless
cats to San Francisco as a curiosity and it
utterly refused companionship with the
long-tailed feline specimens there; but find
ing a cat whose tail iiad been cut off by ac
cident the two became friendly at once.
Japanese dog- are almost destitute of noses,
having the nostrils set directly in the head.
The smaller the nose the more valuable the
breed.
We learn from the Cronstadt Veistnik
that the Tchesine, one of the large iron
clads of which four are in process of being
built for the Black Sea fleet, is to have the
boiler furnaees fitted to burn liquid fuel
The Tchesine, it may be remarked, was
launched a few months ago, and will soon
be ready for sow. The principal armor
plating is 16 inches in thickness and the ar
mament includes six 12-inch guns. In an
nouncing this intended use of liquid fuel the
Cronstadt Veistnik avers that the object of
the Russian government is “to render the
Black Sea flivt totally independent of Eng
lish coal.” If the trial results in a success
the whole of this fleet will in future burn
astaki.
According to the American Druggist a
substitute for gum arabic recently patented
in Germany is made as follows: Twentv
parts of powdered sugar are ho led with
seven parts of fresh milk, and this is then
mixed with 50 parts of a 8i per cent, solu
tion of silicate of sodium, the mixture tieing
then cooled to 122' F. and p ured into tin
boxes, where granular messes will gradu
ally separate out. which look very much
like pieces ef gum arabic. This artificial
gum copiously and instantly reduces Fehl
ing’s solution, so that if mixed with pow
dered gum arabic as au adulterant its pres
ence could be easily detected. The presence
of silicate of sodium in the a-h would also
confirm the presence of adulteration.

OF THE
’iiis of Hit Daj!
Messrs. Chickering if Sons:
Gentlemen —About two years oko I hail
occasion t< i uso ono of your Concert Grand
Pianos. At the time I was so much im
pressed with its general excellence that I
have continued using your pianos both for
my concerts and for my own private use
since.
This has been done with the greatest satis
faction to myself, and I can truly say that
my decision lias been justified by the re
suits.
Your pianos possess in a snperlati re < ieyree
all the excellence required in n first class
piano. While retaining the wonderful sing
ing quality for which the Chickering Piano
has always been so justly celebrated, and
has held the highest position in the art in
dustries, you have gained the maximum of
power, still retaining the even balance of
the scale throughout all the registers.
These qualities combined with the perfec

FINANCE
A GOOD, JUDICIOUS FINANCIER, who goes
* slow and sure, look lug after his or her own
interests, will uot ami cannot, in justice to them
selves, fail to note bow much they can save by
pmvhashiiig their Clothing, Hats and Furnish
ing Goods of APPEL <fc SClf AUL, the One-Price
Clothiers, who mark each and every article in
plain figures—no deviation whatever. Their
style of doing the onc-pric* plan, PLAIN FIG
URES, is sufficient guarantee that the goods are
marked as low ns can be legitimately sold for,
as it is a well known fact that a strictly one
price plan of doing business cannot be success
ful with fancy figures.
Then again, buying your Clothing of us you
do not run the risk of meeting some friend or
acquaintance with the identical Suit or Overcoat
bought at the same place at different, prices.
You can send your child to us, who will re
ceive the same treatment ns yourself. We uever
misrepresent any article, as we give a memoran
dum slip t o every cash purchase, entitling the
purchaser to return the article purchased in ten
days if uninjured, and fill! amount of cash re
funded.
We have our own Tailoring Department on
secoud floor, where we make all alterations
necessary to a perfect fit or no salt'
We merely mention these few facts to show a
few of the benefits derived of us, and respect
fully invito those who have not given us a trial
to do so, and we assure you, after getting ac
quainted with our style of doing business in gen
eral, you w ill favor us with your continual pat
