FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. tv ol tomatoes require rich son.. p Aii old notion that relatively poot ftJ soil is better for tomato growing war. jE loug ago exploded. Deductions from ft experiments in Maryland indicate tbafl 0, potash tends to develop acid in tho ! fruit, while phosphoric acid produces | a larger percentage ol' sugar. Voor (1] bees found that nitrate of soda, used .,t iu small amounts, or divided into two or more applications, increased the ^ i yield without delaying early ripening; ^ | but if larger qnanties were used ma- . j turity was regarded. But it was conI eluded that nitrogen is the ruiiug ele| inent m the growth of the tomato, al- ^ | though its beet effect depends upon p the presence of a full supply ol' other elements. In general we hold t hot w while heavy fertilizing does not lessen productiveness, the beat fertilizers arc ^ ! those which hasten growth early in ?) tho sensou. ? Atlanta Journal. "1 to pea 1. with dust in threshing. ; Several methods of getting rid of j the clouds of dust that nro generated I ^ i in threshing grain have becu invented, j P ' although they have not yet conio into i h exteusive use. One oi the latest I 11 schemes is that of Wellington C. | c' Berkeypile, of Indiana, Peuu. Above I and closely connecting with the i 'c threshing machine is a device called a ! ^ dust-collector', which is represented j herewith. V? ithin tho casing are j mounted two rotary fans, whoso posi- ! tion can be guessed from the outlines , ai j of the cover, ami which arc driven by ! a: power communicated to the shaft j rt j shown at tho left han'l ol tho figure, j i! ! A suction is thus created, which darws I .(< air and dust from the iuterior of the ' h threshing-machine, and forces them up al through the spouts which riao from f< the middle of the collector, and curve w away, one to each side of the appa- :i ratus. In the illustration, the mouth -i of one of these openings is closed r' with a slide, and to the other, on the n furthei side, is fastened a canvas tube, w leading away to a distance. Bat these al attachments may be i liter changed to suit the convenience of the workmen. si There can be no question as to the ; pi discomfort an.l annoyance of working | tt in the dust winch is raised by thresh- k ing, and anythiug which will really ct mitigate such an evil is, ot course, ti e> boon to the farmer. ?

Very often indeed the amateur dressmaker finds herself face to face with some difficulty which she thinks it impossible to surmount and she is discouraged and almost willing to give the whole thiug up. One of these self-confessed difficulties ie the adjusting of Looks and eyes so that they will not unfasten and leave an unsightly gap. This difficulty is obviated by sowing on the hooks and eyes alternately, instead of the hooks all on out side and the eyes on the other. Hewed in this way and placed close together, not more than half an iuch apart, the dress will stay hooked. This is the method employed by the best dress makers. ?

The following special dispatch from Tho Ban Francisco Chronicle's correspondent Ir. tho City of Mexico, contains awful tidings of the Colimn's fate: "About 8 o'clock on tho morning ol tho 27th,ult.,in latitude 1838 north,and longitude 301 degrees, fourteen minutes west, the Colimu was struck by a powerful wind and was driven upon a coral reef and sunk, with a large hole stove in her side near tho prow. Captain J. F. Taylor, after displaying masterly skill in tlie management ol tho vessel, was killed by a falling mast. The llrst pilot uud llrst engineer wereulso killed and soon after the heat struck the roof and went down in 130 fathoms of water. ' Nearly twenty-lour hours later the const line steamer, Han Juan, picked up sixteen survivors and earried them into the pert of Muimunillo. Five others swum ashore at Couhuayuanok uud live more?three cabin fiosseugers and two sailors?were subsoipienty rescued by u government boat sent by tho I'ucilio Mail at Manzuuillo.
