POINTS IN TOMATO CULTURE.
A Summary if Ki'snlls Oltl itliu-d at tliti
Coriii:ll LniverKlt.v I'xpci'iiiMMit Stitlion.
For sovor.il 'n vn p.i:.t llio tomato has
buen the subjfi:t of investiyation and
Itudy at tho Cornell University experi
ment station at Ithaca, N. Y., both in
the open field and under gl.iss. Some of
tho results have been previously pub
lished, but a summary of what has been
learned, including much for tho present
year, will bo of general interest to to
mato growers. As to fertilizers, the best
for tomatoes are those which produce
their effects early in the season. Early
applications of nitrate of soda produced
early results, but nitrate of soda is an in
complete fertilizer and should not be
used to the exclusion of other fertilizers
unless the soil is already rich in potash
and phosphoric acid. Upon poor soils it
is of but little advantage when used
alone.
The experiments of two years show
that tomato plants that are early set in
tho field aro less injured by inclement
weather than is generally supposed, and
that very early setting on well prepared
land appears to be advisable.
Two transplanting gave better results
than three, but much depends upon the
condition of the plants, their age and the
way in which they aro handled. Slight
trimming during July aud August ap
pears to bo beneficial.
Single stem training ot tomatoes gave
twice as much yield per squuro foot as
ordinary cutting, somewliat earlier re
sults, and it greatly decreased injury
from rot.
Littlo if anything appears to be gained
by selecting seeds from first ripe fruits
with no reference to tho character of tho
plant from which they como. Upright
and open training tends to decrease in
jury from rot.
Keeping quality does not appear to be
corelated with solidity, or associated
with varietal differences, and is not
therefore associated with best shipping
qualities.
Tomatoes mix in tho field, and even
hybrids with tho common typo of tomato
may arise spontaneously, lied tomatoes
sometimes como from yellow and purple
fruits.
Tomatoes run out, or lose their dis
tinguishing characters. Even the most
popular varieties of ten years ago are
not often obtained truo to type at tho
present timo.
Ignotum is the best variety for all pur
poses grown at tho station this year.
Among tho introductions of tho year the
following are represented as the most
promising: Cumberland Red, Long
keeper, Mitchell, Potomac, Red Mikado
and Stone.
Iti'O Notes.
Let your bees severely alono in freez
ing weather. Disturbance is injurious.
It causes commotion in tho cluster aud
an unnecessary consumption of food.
Guard well tho entrances from mice.
If these pests force an entrance they will
eat tho honey of tho bees, mutilate tho
comb and perhaps ruin tho colony, if
entrances have not been already pro
tected let it bo dono at once. It is done
by tacking a slip of tin, an inch wide,
ou tho upper side of entrance three
eighths of an inch from bottom board.
This will secure the safety of the colony.
Mice are not apt to cut into a solid board,
and the upper part beiifg tinned they
will bo defeated in all their attempts.
Do not neglect to give those colonies,
whenever the weather will allow, that
have barely enough of provision, a fresh
supply of the sugar paste described in a
former article. It is made by grinding
granulated sugar into Hour and then
working it into a paste or dough with
extracted honey or sugar molasses. Put
it on top ot the frames over the cluster
of bees on muslin perforated with holes
hero and there for the bees to reach it.
It is better to keep a surplus of food
than to allow tho colony to becomo des
titute, or nearly so, before feeding.
Bees become weak when so reduced and
are very difficult of recuperation.
Let all those who manufacture their
own hives aud bee fixtures bo diligent in
making and painting their hives wdiilo
they have leisure. It is a good time to
repaint old hives, when tho weather is
sufficiently cold to keep tho bees from
Hying, hut not cold enough to freeze the
paiut. Thu saves transferring the bees
into another hive for this purpose, says
the Philadelphia Farm Journal.
Crossing Corn.
Different varieties of corn, including
dent, Hint, soft, sweet and popcorn, have
been crossed by artificial pollination at
tho Kansas station. Tho first year the
effects of the crossing were visible in
comparatively few instances, and those
mostly among the sweet varieties. Ears
more or less blended umd sometimes ex
actly intermediate between tho two pa
rental types) were generally the product
of tlie second generation. The third year
shove.! tut' tue most part u product true
to the seed planted; by selecting grains
from a single ear or from different ones
ears aro produced with grains that are
as a rule like those planted. Thus it ap
pears that any selected cross can be per
petuated, and improvement in varieties
can be made by crossing aud perpetuat
ing these crosses.
A Good Stouo frnlii.
A Pennsylvania correspondent writing
to The Rural New Yorker, says: "Tho
following method of making a drain
may be useful to those who have soils
like mine. 1 dig a ditch two aud a half
feet deep, at which depth I reach hard
pan. Then in the center 1 dig a smaller
one, both sides of which slope to a point
about six inches down, leaving a two
inch shoulder on each sida of the top.
The small ditch 1 cover with large stones,
which rest on the shoulders on both
sides, and then fill up with small stones
to within one foot of the top. Tld9 plan
have found very successful."
FEEDING POULTRY.
Different lirceilH Kcqnlre Uifl'erent Winter
Maiijigeim-nt iw Keanl Their Feed.
Experiments conducted in the poultry
department of tho dominion experiment
farms at Ottawa, according to Manager
Gilbert's report, make it appear that the
different breeds require different winter
treatment, especially as regards the
feed. Manager Gilbert says: During the
winter
1. Brahmas, Cochins, Langshans, Ply
mouth Rocks, etc., require more oate,
less wheat, little or no Indian corn, soft
or stimulating food in moderation and
a generous supply of vegetables. Lean
meat twice or thrice n week and plenty
of exercise.
2. Leghorns, Jlinorcas, Andalusians,
Hamburgs, otc, will take more soft or
stimulating food, more wheat, Indian
corn, with meat aud vegetables in liberal
supply.
ii. It is essential to Ruccess that lime,
grit, gravel, etc., should be before the
layers at all times, and that the hens be
kept in activity by throwing the grain
foil to them in chaff, straw or dry leaves
scattered on the leaves.
Soft or stimulating food is generally
fed in the morning aud is composed as
follows: A warm morning mess for the
heavy breeds may bo mado of shorts,
ground oats, bran and loan meat scraps
mixed with boiling water. This can be
varied by giving cooked vegetables in
stead of the ground oats or bran. Clover
hay cut in small pieces, steamed and
mixed with tho morning feed, is one of
the best of green foods ami cannot be
given too often.
For the Spanish family a more stim
ulating morning mess may be mado of
shorts, cornmeal, ground oats or barley
with ground meat or meat scraps in judi
cious quantity every morning, with a
modicum of black or red pepper. Vary
by mixing boiled potatoes or other vege
tables in lieu of the ground oats or bar
ley. Steamed clover hay at any time.
In cold weather Indian corn may be fed
to the fowls for the last meal.
It is taken for granted that the fowls
have comparatively comfortable quar
ters, with pure water to drink in regular
supply; the chill taken off the water;
the grain warmed in cold periods and
the other directions, as given in detail
in report of last year, carried out.
Should the foregoing treatment be found
too forcing, the soft feed may be cur
tailed and more green stuff and oats fed.
It is quite likely that thin shelled eggs
may be laid, and it is a sign that the hens
are getting too fat. As a preventive mix
fine ground oyster shells or sand, or
both, in the morning soft feed.
Sowing Wheat.
An Ohio farmer says in the New York
World:
As a general rule i have found that
early sown wheat seems to do the best,
and where the ground is put into first
rate condition by a thorough plowing
and harrowing, if the seeding is early,
at least a fairly good crop will be the re
sult. Of courso we are liable to unfa
vorable seasons, when the best husbandry
will not produce a good crop. Drill
ing is now the common method for seed
ing wheat, and the use of fertilizers has
made the wheat crop a much more cer
tain one than it was formerly, at a time
when failures had become so common in
this state as greatly to discourage many
from attempting to raise it. Not less
than 200 pounds of fertilizer should be
used to tho acre, aud more would often
be better. It is important for the young
wheat to get a good start and acquire a
vigorous growth of well rooted plants,
so as to safely pass through tho winter
aud spring. This early start is mate
rially aided by the fertilizer, and its use
is further required from the fact that
most of our wheat lands are now more
or less deficient; in necessary elements
that commercial manures adapted to the
crop will supply. On well prepared
ground about six pecks of clean seed to
the acre will be enough, and if drilled
in two inches deop during the last weeks
of September, a remunerative crop may
be reasonably expected.
Subsoiliug.
According to a recent report from the
Kansas state board of agriculture the
theory and practice of subsoiling has
been thoroughly and practically tested
at Medicine Lodge, Kan., during the
past summer by the United States gov
ernment on grounds leased at tliat placo
for experiment purposes. About forty
acres were plowed and subsoiled to a
depth of eighteen inches and planted to
cane. Another piece of ground was
plowed the ordinary depth, but not sub
soiled, and also planted to cane of the
same variety. Both fields received th
same care aiid cultivation. The grounds
which were subsoiled yielded about
eighteen tons of cane to the acre; while
ou tho other ground, simply plowed, the
best yield was only about ten tons.
Jlr. Mohler, the secretary of the state
board, recommends that farmers who
intend to sow alfalfa should by all means
subsoil. If the soil is upland it is all the
more important. This plant sinks its
roots down from five to ten or more feet
into the subsoil, provided the hard and
drv condition of tho subsoil allows. It
is this deep rooting which enables alfalfa
to endure the severest urougiit, not wuius
or any other calamitous thing that comes
alone-. When ft irood stand of this plant
is secured it will last for a generation or
more, yielding valuable crops each year,
j An expert m mo raising or cattle,
speaking of the different localities iu
' which each of the noted beef breeds
I thrives best, says: "In the rich blue
! pnuss tracts Shorthorns prosper; in less
I favored regions tlerefords, Devons ami
i the Polled Aberdeen Angm thrive, in
Wyoming and in Colorado where the
soil encourages the growth of bone,
Devons and Galloways have been fountl
to make a most successful cross,"

then only limited to the fall aud winter
crop. It was thought quite an achieve
ment for tho amateur to have good cel
ery in October.
The White Plume gives a chance of
beginning with the harvesting of good
celery by the middle of July, and to grow
this product with less than half tho la
bor required for the crop only a few
years ago. VJhat fine stalks it is possi
ble to grow with ordinary good manage
ment may be inferred from the picture
hero presented of one of many plants
taken up at the end of August and in Sep
tember. Its natural size is indicated by
the foot rule across tho plant. That
such celery almost as white as snow
would be in good demand at any time
during that season nobody will dispute.
Anybody can grow such celery, saya
Tho American Garden, which sets forth
the requirements of the crop as follows:
1. Good plants set early in June. 2. Lav
ishuess in the application of good com
post. 3. A continuous supply of moisture.
The northern grower, if he has a green
house or hotbed available in early l eb
ruary, can raise his own plants. Sow in
flats, prick the young plants out in other
Hats, a few inches apart each way, or
set in open ground: keep the plants well
watered, not too warm if under glass,
and in early June you will have plants
worth setting. If you don't want to
raise the plants you can buy good ones
by June 1 for three or four dollars per
thousand. Another way is to buy in
April small untransplanted seedhn.
plants from a celery plant grower farther
south and set in open ground in rows a
foot or less apart and plants two or
three inches apart in the rows. Nitrate
of soda scattered over the beds at the
rate of a pound or two to the square rod
has iu our experience seldom failed to
show very marked effects in promoting
thrifty growth.
The earlier in June the plants aro set
out the better, if early celery is wanted.
Open a deep furrow and fill it nearly
full with old, well rotted compost or
barnyard scrapings and the hko, then
put the sou back, and mix soil and ma
nure well together in any convenient
manner. Make tho rows directly over
the manure filled furrows, setting the
plants, six inches apart, along a tightly
stretched garden line, or in marks made
with a marker. Always press the soil
firmly about the roots. In a dry time
water the plants liberally right after
setting them, and if possible shade for a
few days. Give the same cultivation and
general treatment as is required for
other garden crops. Early in July the
plants should be large enough for hand
ling or finning.
A Moisturu Indicator.
A correspondent in Hoard's Dairyman
offers the following plan for a moisture
indicator:
Take a pine stick thirty-six inches
long, one-fourth inch by ono-lialf inch
at ono end, taporod nicely almost to a
point at the other end. Screw a coni-
L
A HOMEMADK INDICATOR.
mon bolt nut on tho longest end. Soak
a small piece of blotting paper in brine
and dry thoroughly; wrap it around the
sharp point of the stick and wind a
thread around it to hold it on. Hang on
a nail at such point on the wall where
the wind will nut strike it by a thread
tied around tho stick at such point that
the stick will balance level at the de
sired moisture of the room. Take a wire
a foot long and bend one-half inch at
each end at right anglo with the wire,
thus , and drive in the wall over the
stick to keep it from swinging too far
up or down. Thia will show very slight
variations in moisture of room, the point
rising with dryness and sinking with
dampness.
Seed Potatoes.
T. Greiner, in an article on degenera
tion of potatoes in Farm and Fireside,
seems to think that tho reason is because
we plant too small seed aud pieces of
one eye. Isaac E. Squire, of Ohio, com
menting on tho above in the Ohio
Fanner, says:
The statement in regard to the one eye
pieces being the cause of the degener
ating is based upon theory rather than
facts. 1 have been raising potatoes for
the last thirty years. I commenced with
the White Neshanock aud followed
with tho Long Pinkeye, Jersey Peach
blow, Early Rose and Burbank. I
planted these till they all run out. 1
have planted wholo potatoes, halves and
quarters, until tho last few years, and 1
find one eyed pieces xlo the best, as I get
the most marketable potatoes and lesa
small ones, but I take large potatoes for
seed and of course get larger sed pieces.
I do not btdieve in but one eye with a
good sized clump of potato. The best
way, 1 think, to improve our potatoes ia
to save our seed at digging time, and
nave from the hills which produce the
most and largest, and also the smoothest.
Saving seed from the strongest and
most vigorous hills tends to improve the
yield of potatoes.
