Tho Tomato ami its Culture. The following interesting article upon this subjcot is written by J. Payue Lowo, whoso address is found below : How to Improve the Fruit. Our experience has told us that this is "tho way to do it : 1st. Plants Hhould bo rown in warm, light, rich soil iVoin tho seeds of the earliest ripened fruit having uiost, if not all the valuable qualities mentioned. -2id. They should be grown early. "3rd. During no time of their growth should they suffer from want of warmth, snnshine, fresh air, and a soil in proper mechanical and chemical condition for their healthy growl h. Germinating the Seeds in a Small Box. For family use, (and it is especially "with this view we write,) the plants may be started in a little box in a warm room; and for field culture in a hot-bed or green Jiouso. In quite a small box all the plants any family need may be grown. A few plants well cared for will be worth si great deal more than a largo number ill-grown, such as we so often sec crowd ed to suffocation and death in dealers' hot beds. Such long, weakly things can have no value. The little box, need be no more than two foefc long, a foot wide and a few inches deep, covered with glass to counteract the dryness of the atmosphere of the room. Put the box in tho sun shine, keep the room warm and carefully ventilated. Do not bo in too groat haste to germinato the seeds ; but oneo started pee that the plants get no check for want of care. When to Sow Seed for an Early Crop. In the neighborhood of New York, the seed may bo sown about the middle of Tcbruary or beginning of March. Transplanting. When the plants arc two or throe inch es high they may be put into small pots to bo afterwards transplanted into larger ones, or into a hot-bed. The transplant ing of them at leant twice, or even three or four times before putting them in the open ground, which should not be done till all appearance of frost has gone, un less they arc protected when necessary, will hasten early ripening. Each time, before transplanting, the soil should be well watered so that a ball of earth may be removed with each plant, and this is particularly desirable when they are being put in tho open ground and thus their growth will not bo checked. During all this time let them have all the light and fresh air that they can stand ; use mild days, but beware of cold and frost. A uniform warm temperature is desirable, but not so hot as to make the plants grow too tall and sickly. If convenient, the plants, some time before being set in open ground, may bo put into a cold frame, pro tecting them at first as much as nr:y be necessary. If the above plan bo followed faithful ly you will have an abundance of line healthy plants, when everybody else is scouring tho country for what is not al ways to be found good tomato plants. Open Ground Culture. Once in tho open ground they will de light and flourish in a rather light than heavy, and rich, but not over -rich, soil, and if on the southeastern exposure of a hill-side, where they will bo protected from the cold winds, and enjoy the sun shine, all the better. They should not bo less than four feet apart. Keep the soil friable. Let no weeds grow. IIoo early and often, and they cannot take possession of the soil. When to Sow Seed for a late Crop. For a late crop the seed may bo sown in the open ground in spring. When planted in their place, they will bear till the frost comes, and longer, if protected. Pruning. As the greater part of tho fruit on the tomato vino is borne near the ground it will be found that tho shortening of the vines will cause nutrition to flow to fruit instead of making branches. Don't bo afraid to cut out all suckers and non-bearing tranches, and to shorten, those that wander. Tho writer kuows that the ad vantages of pruning are questioned by some, but )io ha learned by experience, whatever may be the rationale of the matter, tho results are in favor of rather severe pruning. 1 'a r iet ics Th e JJett A great deal might be said on varieties; but alter having tried tho most popular ones the writer grows " Lester's Perfect ed Tomato," in preference to all others. Though not one of tho newest varieties claiming attention having been favora bly known for some years but as many mixed and up it r ion seeds leave been grown and sold under this name, which misrepresent t he fruit and the geiitlemau who introduced it, tho writer has taken some pains to secure tho genuine seed, as will appear from the letter given below. He grows " Lester's Perfected Tomato," first, because he thinks it the best, and second, because ho farms for profit as well as for pleasure. Lifter's Perfected Tomato. New York, 8? 3rd, Avenue, July 21, 18(39. J. Payne Lowe, Esq. : Dear Sir : You know that, some ten years ago, after long and careful culture, 1 brought out with no thought of making money what has since been so widely and favor ably known as Lester's Perfected Tomato. Dut I find that spumous and mixed seeds have been everywhere sold under, this name, thus wronging the public, and misrepresenting the fruit and myself. Last year I detenu ined to try to put a stop to all this; and I again grew thegen uinc fruit, germinating some seeds from which you had this season all the plants in full bearing when I visited your place in New Jersey, two or three weeks ago. I committed them to you because I knew that they would have perfect culture. In planting them wide apart you gave them none too much room ; for the green bronzed-colored vines had spread so far and were so loaded down with fruit ! 1 was glad to see the old fruit again its smooth and even form, thin skin, luscious but delicate and finely-flavored flesh, and its great beauty of color. Now raise every seed and scatter them as widely as you can, for from ymi alone, am I sure that anybody will get my Per fected Tomato. Charge enough for them to pay for tho trouble say 25 cents a paper and put a few seeds only in each little package, so that they may go as widely as possible. Faithfully yours, E. EDWARDS LESTElt. This letter shows that pains have been taken by the writer to grow what he con siders tho best variety of tomato, and as he feels that ho can sell many times the quantity of seeds on hand, he has noth ing to gain by endeavoring to give undue prominence to the variety spoken of Those, however, who may differ with him on tho subject of varieties will, it is hoped, not iind tho other portion of his article unworthy of attention.

All Interested, please read tho following extract from a letter from Mrs. Kllen II. Mason, wife of ltev. Francis Mason, Tounglioo, ISiriuah: . . .My son was taken violently sick with dip theria, cold chills, burning fever, and sore throat. I counted, one morning, ten little veseicles in his throat, very white, and his tongue toward th root, looked like a watermelon full of seeds; the re mainder coated as thick as a knife-blade. So many children have died around here, I was afraid to call a physician, and thought I would try your Pain Killer for a gargle with small doses Inwardly. I did sound found the gargle invariably cut oil' tho veseicles. and he raised them up often covered with blood. He was taken on Sunday: on Wednesday his throat wuselearand his tongue rapidly clearing oil'. I also used it us a liniment with castor oil and hartshorn, for his neck. It seemed to me a won derful cure, and 1 can but wish it could he known to the many poor mothers In our land who are los ing so many poor children by this dreadful disease. J have found your Pain Killer line of the most vaulahle medicines ever used In ISunnah. Once 1 was stung by a very large black scorpion ; the pain w as indescribable. I immediately applied the Pain Klller,(for I never travel without it,) again and again, and in half an hour my foot was well. Dr. Walton writes from Coshocton" Your Pail Killer cures this new disease Dijitherlrt, or Hore Throat that is so alarmingly prevalent here; and it has not been known to fail In any instance when used in time. This fact you should make. known to the world." (It is used in this disease as a gargle and lotion us well us a tonic and a stimulant. In Halifax where this disease prevailed for so many months in its most malignant form, the use of lrry J) via ' l'ain Kilter" was invariably at tended with the most favorable results, when it was used ere the disease had made too much progress to preclude the use of so powerful a stimulant.
