AGRICULTURE, Thb Tomato Plant.—The variations which occur in seedling plants of onr cultivated varieties of vegetables is the sabj^ot of a recent bolletfh from the Neir York agricultural experiment station. In tomato seedlings joung plants fre quently show three and even four seed leaves instead of the normal two. The tomato presents numerous variations in its growth. The species to which onr garden varieties are referred are suffi ciently distinct to be classed as separate species or sub-species. Ur. Sturtevant, in the bulletin under consideration, notes the variations in the fruit upon the same plant and upon the same cluster. Among other variations in the tomato iruit is noted that of shape. It is only within recent years that the tomato has become smooth. Formerly it was rib bed and in shape quite distorted. One of the most marked variations obtained by culture seems to have been in the diminution of the seed, and variations are also to be noted between varieties in the manner in which the seeds are ar ranged, an also in the thickening of the core, and the size of the various cells and partitions which contain the seed. There appears also to be considerable variation in the vitality of seeds as be tween different varieties as there cer tainly is between the strength of the young plants. But Dr. Sturtevant has not yet collected sufficient data to as sign this variability to other than acci dental causes. It is an interesting sub ject of inquiry whether the tendency to seedlessness and quality be not correla ted, and also whether there be not a correlation between the vitality of seed and the quality, as also between the vi gor of the plant and quality, The Culture of Wheat.—Some twelve to fifteen years ago an impression prevailed—indeed the results seemed to establish the fact—that wheat culture in Pennsylvania, like fruit-culture, had run out, and farmers’ clubs and agricul tural papers went full tilt to discussing the reason of it. But subsequently both took a turn, and we should like to know to-day if any one aares to say that both wheat and fruit canuot be raised as suc cessfully there as in almost any other State. Some said at first (hat it would last only a little while—now and then we may get along well enough, but who cau say how long it will last, or in case of failure should come again what we are to do about it. This was anti cipating an evil which there was no reason to believe would soon occur again, and ns it lias not yet returned we hear ho more about it. The grumblers are quiet; they take with thanks, we hope, all they receive, and may en tertain the best expectation for the fu ture. The greatsst enemy of the wheat crop it too much water. It may be said that the wheat-root is more susceptible to injury from too much water than many ol us believe. To be sure there is a general impression that an overdose of water is bad, but tl)e full force of the impress!) n is seldom felt as it deserves to be. Water lying around roots does not always kill the wheat plant, but many of the roots are injured, and the few that are left are not able to do do the work that all were intended to take part in doing. If - ny one will dig up a wheat plant in spimg which has stood all winter in a wet place, he will see ex actly how this is. Only living roots clo^e to tho suiface and below tnis may be injured, Seedino WiTH Clover.—“To got a good kteding 01 clover is no easy task,” many a farmer will say, and there is truth m the statement, yet it makes very muo-T difference how one goes to work to do it sud when he does it. We have known farmers to sow clover early in spring on rye or wheat land when there was n light covering of snow on the ground and have good success w ith it,but we prefer to wait until the ground is settled, then sow six quarts of clover to four quarts of timothy to the acre. Some find it advantageous to lightly harrow the ground after sowing the s9 >d, aid then roll it with a heavy rol- ijr. This, of couise, can onL be li h - ly done wl en the ground is dry and set tled. This being uoue, sow 100 pounds of plaster to the acre. Clover should not be covered deep;it is not necessary. If clover and timothy are to be sown after cats it should not be done until the oats are harrowed in for the last time. Stable manure undoubtedly answers the demands of the soil in truit culture better than any annual application of a single special fertilizer, bnt still it should not be forgotten that aa occa sional application of potash in some form may be necessary. Muriate of potasb is a good application now and then. The general failure of the apple crop, a year ago, has greatly lessened tne urmbers of the codling moth. We may, therefore, hope for a full crop of truit, tree from worms, the eommg season. In cutting out the blighted portion of pear trees, the knife, saw or pruning shears should be frequently rinsed in carbolic acid, and water to prevent the spread of tne disease to healthy trees. If any disease attacks a peach tree, dig it np and put another iu its place. In all probability it is a case of the yellows, and the loss of a tree is a trifle as compared with the danger of spread ing the inlection. A vouxa calf will begin to eat grain or good bright hay at five or six months old. A little scalded meal at this age is better than all milk ration, as it is best to accustom them to solid food as early as possible. It Is the belief of meny close observ ers that the gestation of domestic ani- is retarded by a severe winter,like the last, and hastened by a warm win ter, Borne reported facts this year tend to confirm this theory. By actual trial the past season one hundred bushels of shelled corn shrank to finely between December and the first of May. It was put in a tight bln, and the shrinkage was from evaporation— not from rata or mice. Fob asparagus chcoee a deep, light, aandy loam, and work in plenty of fine farmyard manure. It is preferable, if as convenient, to plant in one long tow on aide of the garden,' having the planta about 18 inches spirt. Good raw bone dust la estimated to last about seven years. DOMESTIC. Ioe Fudmno.—Pot one quart of milk into a stewpan with a half-pound of white sugar ar J a stick of vanilla; leave it to boil ten uuautei. Mix tho yelks of ten eggs with a gill of cream, pour in the milk, then put it back again into the stewpan and stir until it thickens, but do not let it boil; strain it into a basin, and leave it to cool. Take twelve pounds of ice, pound it small, add six pounds of fine salt; mix together quick ly, cover the bottom of an Ice-pail (a common pail will do), place the ioe-pot in it, and build it around with the ioe and salt. This done, pour the cream into the pot, put on the cover, and never cease turning until the cream becomes thick; move it from the sides occasion ally with the ioe-sooop, to prevent it getting into hard lumps. Tne mould to be used to set the pudding should be put on ice to get quite cold. It Is then filled with cream to the level, aud three or four pieces of white paper wetted with cold water are placed on it before yon put on the cover, which ahould fit very tight. The mold is then buried in the same mixture of ice and salt used for freezing the cream In the first in stance, and Is left until wanted, tfhen it is dipped m cold water, turned out on a napkin and served. Dried fruits, cut small, may be put in tho cream when the mold is being filled. Babies’ feet are objects of unlimited admiration; the soft curves and outlines and the perfect nails do not in the least suggest the cramped and mlsiLappen form they will take after t'.while, in all human probability. Thoughtlessly and a mistaken notion of economy cans a the lack of beauty and the sense of dis comfort about the feet of the half-grown bey or girl. Children are frequently made to wear shoes that they have out grown, because they are not wern out '•Best” shoes are almost too small when they are pm chased, and as they are only worn occasionally, the feet chance and enlarge, and are injured by the ill- fitting shoe. The nails should be cared tor and looked after by the mother just as conscientiously as the morals of the child. Many an hour of acute pain to the man or woman may be charged to the neglect of the nails in childhood. If the discovery is made that the shoe is oppressing the foot and crowding the nails, it would be better to remove the shoe aud let the chile go without rather than continue it., me. If there is dan ger of the toenail pi easing down in the flesh, it can be avoided by cutting a scallop or point iu the centre of the nail. This will certainly prevent ingrowing nails. How to Drive Flies Out of a Room, —Observations made by M. R iflord, a member of the Society d’Horticulture at Limoges, show that a c istor-oil plant having been placed iu a room infested with Hies, they disappeared as by en chantment. Wishing to find the cause, he soon found under the castor-oil plant a number of dead flies, and a large number of bodies ha i remained cling ing to the under surface of the leaves, itr would, therefore, appear that the leaves of the oastor-oil plant give out an etsential oil, or some toxio prinoiple which posseases very strong insecticide qualities. Castor-oil plants are much used in France as ornamental plants m looms, as they rtsist very wrli variations of atnu sphei e and temperature. As the castor-oil plant is very much grown and cultivated in ail gardens, the Journal d’Agriculture points out that It would be worth while to try decorations of the haves to destroy the greeu flies and other insects which iu summer are so destructive to plants and fruit trees. Anyhow, M Raflord’s observations merit that trial should be made of the properties of the castor-oil plant both lor the destruetion of flies in dwellings and of other troublesome insects. Tomato Figs.—The following is the method ot preserving tomatoes in Ber muda, and thereby manufacturing a sweet pieserve something like figs: Take six pounds of sugar to one peek (or 16 pounds! of the fruit, scald and remove the skin of the fruit, iu the usual way, cook them over a fire, their own juice beiug sufficient without the addition of water, until the sugar pene trates and they are clarified; they are then taken out, spread on dishes, flat ten td and dried in the sun. A small quantity of the sirup should be occasion ally sprinkled over them while drying, after which pack them down m boxes, treating each layer with powdered su gar The sirup is afterward couoentra- ted aud bottled for use. They keep from year to year and retain their flavor surprisingly, which is nearly that of the best quality of tresh figs. The pear- shaped or single tomatoes answer the purpose best Ordinary brown sugar may be used, a large portion of which is retained iu the Birun. Milkweed Pods. —Perhaps some per sons may not know what very pretty additions may be made to dned grasses, bunches of ferns, and autumn leaves, by the milkweed teeds. Pick tin m when the seeds are quite ripe, and the pods begin tc dry. Open the pods and pick the seeds out with the downy sub stance adhering to them. Take the seeds oil’ aud pass the down through the lips (this is the only way 1 know of to get them a yery little moist), hold ing fust the seed end. Have a fine wire and a piece of white thread tied to the eud of it. Lay the prepared down against the wire and wind the thread around it to keep it in place. Continue this until you have a sort of fez, or full blown flower. You must take each seed separately, and they must be plate l very close together on the wire, and be wound tight with the thread, The downy substance will blow out very fluffy, «ud very white, and is really beau ti l til. A handsome tidy is made of linen s-ina, with the ends iringed, or with drawn work at each end, or it m ay have this work and the friuge at the bottom mly. Then with black etching silk work some pretty figures in the centre. A vine-like border is a great addition. An agreeable and appetizing dish i* made by cooking asparagus and pets together. Cut tender stalks of aspara gus in small pieces (both ieg<ta 1« a require the same length of time to ct. ok) season with cream, pepper and salt, t r in place of cream use milk with a lump of butter melted in it. Horse radish root boded in salt and water, wi h a little vinegar, is good to send to the table with r.iast meat of any kind; cut it in thin slice i and use’ It as a garnish, A charming wny to flavor costards is to beat fruit jelly with the whites of the eggs; red raspberry jelly and quince jelly ore especially nice lor this.

Patton, pharmacist,Globe Village, Mass., says that the miraculous pain cure, St. Jacobs Oil, has greatly help ed his other business, and the sales of the remedy have doubled in one month. He keeps a large supply on hand. Officers ot the Army and Navy pronounce St. Jacobs Oil, to be the greatest pain-cure of the age. Probably a leoturer: "NV hat a learned man Mr. A. is!” exclaimed Mrs. B.; "he talks so interestingly on everything be knows, and he knows so many things!” "fl’ml” ejaculated Mrs. 0., "you should bear my friend D.; he talks equally well of things he knows nothing about as of any o Jiers. He is what you may really call a learned man.” No Rest Day or Night. In the fall of 1876 my sufferings were ter rible. I was swollen to such proportion that I feared my limbs would burst. I had the best medical talent obtainable, and at the worst stage of my illness, when my husband and many friends bad given me up to die, the late Dr. John Woodbury made a thorough examination of my watei, and pronounced my case acute kidney disease, liordering on Bright’s disease,and accompanied by gravel, and recommended the immediate use of Hunt’s Remedy. At this time I was suffer ing most terrible pain in my back, limbs and bead, and could iindnorestday or night for weeks, and I was growing weaker daily until this kind physician ordered me to take Hunt’s Remedy. Before taking half of one bottle I commenced to improve, and after taking six bottles was entirely cured. This was nearly eight years ago, ami I have had no return of the disease. I have recom mended Hunt’s Remedy to others in similar cases, and it has never failed to cure. I have also used it for sick headache, and found id it a sure relief. I think it the best medicine made, and cheerfully recommed it to all. MRS. W. H: STILSON, No. 16 Tyler Street, Boston, Mass. April 18, 1883. A Well-Known Man. Hunt’s Remedy having been recommended to me for kidney and liver complaints, I pur chased some at the “People’s Drug Store” aud used it In my family, and found it to be a very valuable medicine, and I gladly recommend it highly to my friends, km >wing it to be beneficial to those troubled with kid ney or liver disease.
