There aro probably moro tomatoes used, and served in a greater number of ways than any other vegetable, besides its taking the place of tho fruits when served in its raw state. The toI niato is a gross feeder, sending its roots down deep for food. The best way to grow tomatoes is to throw out the soil to tho depth of two feet, with an equal diameter. Put six inches of well rotted manure at the bottom and fill the hole ????????1?I?1 with the material thrown oat, made rich. Where there i? sufficient ground ilit) iiiiU shoniu be oignt feet apart. Plante treated in thia way will yield far more frnit than if planted closer. The planta when aet ahonld be ahort and atooky. Thoee frequently aold in the market#, and aet in the usual way, will not produce as much frnit,or aa quickly, as would the planta from aaad sown where *ney are to grow. Tall leggy plante can be planted to advantage by inserting the plant a little distance from the center of the hill prepared for it, then bending the plant down and eor* ring it with earth to the depth ah inoh, leaving the top ont more than two iiichee. The plant will immediately commence throwing out roote thickly tho whole length of tbo buried atem, and make a strong rapid growing plant. The name plant treated in the usual manner, seems to grow smaller, instead of larger, for some days or weeks. If the plant has plenty of room to spread, it does bent when trailing noon tha ground, the influence of the warm earth being very beneficial upon the ripening of the fruit. Hut in wet scHsone there are serious objections to this plan, ah thw fruit in quite liable to rot if lying on wot ground.
