In these short seasons I find it an object to force plants as fast as possible. June 16 of this year I put in one acre of the Acme tomato, and now, in Tess than 60 days, we have ripe fit.- Some ripe ones have been hanging on the vines more than a week from which to save seed. Of course, in so short a peas,g the general crop is not yet ripe. Within 30 dayt I am sat isfied that nearly the entire crop will be marketable. If -there is-any variety of tomatoes in this country that excels the Acme for earliness, I would be pleased to hear of it. In size- they are large enough, are quite symmetrical, of a fine red color, wigi an exceptionally solid flesh, and have the best flavor one could wish. The soil is a gravelly one, not very rich, but phosphated heavily with Chicago phosphate. The plants were put in at least four inches deep, and some plants six inches. I tied each plant to a stake (using cull broom handles) not taller than thfee feet after be ing 4.iven to the proper depth. They were tied to the stake twis. An soon-as they were large enough to cordiiences falling overithey were tied; tiii cloth strings miade from old garments. The string was wg donge around the stake, so th~eweigh of vines and frit wot nd piiil~ the strinig down. The cultivator was run through them every day (excepting the 4th of July, rainy days and Sunday) until they were filling the spaces, and by this time they were at the top of the stakes. They were again. tied to the top of the stake, simply passing the string aro'ind the.tops of the plants. and gathering them quite close to the stake, but not snug. They now stand about shoulder high, and are still growing, but I have corn meneedecutting off the new branches which grow about the stakes. Get ting ripe watermelons in sixty days is an uncommon thing about here, but ..b raising a large number of plants on inverted soils, and put ting them out into the open ground, Junej6thpl hve had them already' ripe r e a pe;-less than ;sixty daya 'afteW pnting. I have also the same report to make of cucum bers, summer squash and musk melons. Squashes and cucumbers have'JMeen. on the- table for three wee~k Thle4oil for all these vines is a 96nyr graveRly one, over lyingea ..porouis subsoil. I could not say how many times vines have been. planted there, but there have been no weeds, and vines of all de-z scriptions -have been put in very deep, and not in hills. Inused a common plow to furrow with, run ning it as deep as one horse could well draw it, and making afurrow from four to six inches in depth. The melons, squashes, and cucam bers were put in so deep that the ground could not be leveled off' un til the vines had grown a few inches higher, and now the piece presets a level appearance. For prodnetiveness I never saw the equal.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

"Americau Agriculturist for March 1. TE MoTEs.-A word in seasor .s the one that tells. This is no the month for moths, but it is gel ,ing so far along towards the tim when the precautions should b Ased, that in giving them now many will be saved the trouble c writing to ask what to do wit' heir robes, furs, etc. As strang Ls it may seem, we meet with it telligent persons, who do not ur lerstaud the changes in insect lif -all should know that we hav irst the egg ; then the larva-soom kind of a caterpillar, maggot, o rub, something of the "worm 6ind; this then goes into the pups >r chrysalis state, remains quiet while, then comes out as the pei feet insect-either butterfly, motl beetle, fly, or whatever its kinc [n the clothes moth it is the larvf the caterpillar, that does the mih :hief ; its perfect form is popularl known as the "Moth Miller," and i: due time will be seen flitting abou the house. Now ihe trouble arise from allowing this parent moth t deposit her eggs upon or in th fabric, which afterwards furnishe the food for the young "worms. Prevention is thus seen to be th most important remedy. Henc various things that are distasteful t the mother moth, and not injuriou to the furs, woollens, etc., are i frequent use to keep the moth way. Of such are Camphor Gn Cedar Shavings, Pepper, Tobacc tc., sprinkled on the fabrics. Bt the best and surest method is, t put the goods away in a place box, barrel, or even paper bag where the moths cannot enter md pack the goods in it befor there is any chance for the eggs t be laid. Hous onD AccouNrs.-There ar reasons why the wife or housE eeper should keep an accoun ook. In the first place it woul' urnish interesting information c ~he number of pounds of sngal ~pice, floiur, meat, etc., that a fan ly of a certain size consumes [ow many know anything deninit about these things ! Again, such: ecord would suggest changes in th iving in one way or another, an4 urnish a basis for calculation c he requirements foi- the comini ear. We knew of a lady whi ent so far as to keep an accoun f the number of extra meals whici he furnished in a year ; and whei t was announced the family wer< ~reatly surprised. A househol< ccount is a startlirg revealer o acts. As a matter of family his ory, a record should be kept-c ~ourse, the dates of births an< eathas will be given in the Recor< o be found in the family Bible, bu here are other things that trans ire in a family worthy of note. Cnicxm SAW.-Cut theme rom two chickens, or one if yoi vant a small dish. Add an equa jantity of shred lettuce, after yoi iave cut the chickens into narros breds, two inches long. Mix in >OWI. Prepare a dressing thus 3eat the yelks of two eggs, sal ightly and beat in a few drops at: ime four tablespoonfuls of ho inegar and half a teaspoonful o est celery essence. The mixtur< ;hould be thick as cream ; pou: ver the chicken, mix well an< ightly ; put into a salad-dish an< ay sections of two hard-boiled egg >n top, with a chain of sliced white> iround the edge. COFn-Put a quart of boiling ater into your coffee-pot ; wet ui Scupful of ground coffee with th< hite of an egg, adding the egg ;hell and a little cold water; pu ,hi into the boiling-hot water ant >il fast ten minutes ; then!add 2alf cup of cold water and set i efore the hearth or table to settle 'or five minutes ; pour it off care ally into your metal or chini ~offee-pot or urn. The noise of squeaking door mnd drawers is a nuisance. Blac] .ead is excellent to lessen frictioi etween two pieces of work. Th lides an rests of desks and bureal rawers may be made to mov asily by spreading common stov >lacking evenly with a cloth or th nger over their surfaces. The popular maxim that "dirt i ealthy," has probably arisen fron the fact that playing in the opei tir is very beneficial to the healt] >f children, who thus get dirt oi heir person and clothes Eoa Omers.-Four eggs wel ean;. two tablespoonfuls of cori Jisceela neons.
