Cultivation of Tomatoes.
MESSRS. EDITORS : I wish to tell you my
niutk* of growing tomatoes. I <lo not know
that there is any thing new about it, it is not
very common, and < to be much more
general, since a dish of good early tomatoes :
is such a general favorite. My plants are a I-j
ways forwared in a hot-bed, or in the green i
house, and grown in pots until they are about
a foot and ft half high, and are hardened off
so as to bear turning out about the second
week in May. I plant them about three feet
apart in rows ; when planted I drive down a
few stakes six or eight feet apart, leaving
them about four feet high the whole length of
the rows, and nail a strip of wood all along
on the top, and tie two or more pieces lower
down the stakes, about a foot apart so as to
make a trellis something like a grape vine trel
lis.
Before planting I always dig the ground
deep, and make it rich with manure. At the
time of planting I mix the soil immediately
about roots, about a table-spoouful of Peruvi
an guano to each plant, which gives them an
early start. When'they have grown sufficient
ly long to tie to the trellis, I select two or three
of the strongest shoots and tie them loosely to
the trellis, cutting away all other small later
als which may grow 0:1 the main branches. I
let these main branches grow until they have
come in flower and set the first hunch of fruit;
then I pinch out the top, one joint above the
fruit, leaving the leaf entire. I then allow it
to go on again until it has flowered, and set
anothei hunch of fruit, when the top is pinch
ed out one leaf ahove the bunch,the same as
at first, and o on of all the rest, taking care
to cut -nit all the laterals which may grow
on the main branches down to the axels of the
the leaves, as often as they are produced, but
leaving the leaves entire
If any one will take this little extra trou
ble, he will lie amply repaid and absolutely as
tonished at the immense clusters of line large
tomatoes he will have. If plant* din a favora
ble situation, they will ripen at least as early
as those grovn any other way ont of doors,
and frequently three days or a week earlier.
When ripe they will hang longer on the vines
without decaying. The situation can hardly
be too sunny. Deep, light, loamy soil suits
them the best. I always save my own seed.
I began my saving a few of the roundest and
smoothest tomatoes I could find for seed ;
now I have them, not flat or wrinkled all up,
but as round as an orangp, and as smooth and
largo as the largest Northern Spy apple.—
Co'', of Geunesee Former.
HOT BEDS. —Not one farmer out of twenty
knows what is to have his table well supplied
with early vegetables, although the cost of a
hot bed is so trilling, and it en be made in
n few hours at a time when the wck on the
fanmis not very pressing. Choose a warm, dry
border, and facing to the south or south-west,
and out of the range of buildings and shade
trees, so that it will have tlie full force of the
sun's rays. Dig a pit from one to two feet
deep, over which to place the frame. Make
the frame of one and a quarter inch plank.
The size may be from eight to five feet in
width and of any desirable length. When
the frame is adjusted over the pit, fill about
half full of fresh horse stable manure which
has been well kept and not exposed to the
action of the weather. Put on the sashes and
allow them to remain for three or four days,
after which the soil can be put in from six to
eight incites in depth. This must be the best
mould that can be procured from the garden.
The seed should not be planted for several
days after the bed has been made, as there
is danger of destroying the germ ; if seed is
put over the hot manure too soon. Air should
be given to the bed before it is planted. The
frame should be banked up with warm manure
and soil ou all sides, to protect it from cold,
and when tlie weather is inclement, it would
be well to cover it with straw. The bed sbou •!
be sprinkled with water daily until the planis
appear.and when the weather is sufficiently m i l
the ashes can be removed to allow the entrance
of fresh air, and make the plants grow strong
aud hardy.
W ATER PROOF TEXTILE FABRICS'. —Take one
pound of wheat bran and one ounce of glue,
and boil them in three gallons of water in a
tin vessel for half an hour. Now lift the ves
sel from the fire, and set it aside for ten min
utes ; during this period the bran will fall to
the bottom, leaving a clear liquor above, one
pound of bar soap cut into small peices is now
to be dissolved in it. The liquor may be put
on the fire in the tin-pan, and stirred until all
the soap is dissolved. In another vessel one
pound of alum is dissolved in half a gallon of
water ; this is added to the soap bran liquor
while it is boiling, and all is well stirred ; this
forms tne water proofing liquor. It is used
while cool. The textile fabric to be rendered
water-proof is immersed in it, and pressed be
tween the hands until it is perfectly saturated.
It is now wrung, to squeeze out as much of
the free liquor as possible ; then shaken or
stretched, and hung up to dry in a warm room,
or in a dry atmosphere out-doors. When dry,
the fabric or cloth so treated will repel rain
and moisture, but allow the air or perspiration
to pass through it.
The aluin, gluten, gelatine and soap unite
together, and form an insoluble compound,
which coats every fibre of the textile fabric,
and when dry, repels water like the natural
oil in the feathers of a duck. There are va
rious substances which arc soluble in water
singly, but when combined form insoluble com
pounds, and c ice versa. Alum, soap and gela
tine are soluble in water singly, but form inso
luble compounds when united chemically. Oil
is insoluble in water singly, but combined with
caustic soda or potash it forms soluble soap.
Such are some of the useful curiosities of chem
istry.— Scientific American.
In youth we seem to be climbing a hill
on whose top eternal sunshine seems to rest.
How eagerly we pant to attuin the summit !
We sigh as we contemplate dreary wastes be
fore us, and look back with wistful eye upon
the flowery path we have passed, but may ne
ver retrace. Life is a portentous cloud,fraught
with thunder, storiu and rain ; but virtue, like
streaming rays of sunshine, will ciothe it with
a garuaeut, aud fringe its shadowy skirts with
gold.
P- Bocock, Attorney General of
irgnua, lias resigned his office, and Gov. Wise
has issued a proclamation for a new election
to be fold on the fourth Thursday iu May
next, to fnpply the vacancy.
