age of pure Leesters perfected Toma
to 6eed. This is an old and favorite
c variety, and we feel flattered with the
idea that we have the pure seed again.
Mr. Payne has the seed for sale at 23
cents per package.
Ve were pleased to meet and make
;the acquaintance of Mr. Ed ward

and genius in wood work, has invent

Bee hive, one of which he has left at
pur office for examination. We have
examined and feel convinced that it is
a valuable invention. Its cheapness
as a moveble comb hive, is one of the
great features. We hope Mr. Arnolii
may meet with the encouragement
and success he eo highly deserves.

Letter from Philadelphia.
February 7th, 1870.
-- Editor Advertiser :
cc You will no doubt be surprised on
receiving a letter from a total stranger
c 1000 miles distant, but having been a
c constant reader of your well conduct
c ed and fpicy paper, for some two or
Ihree years, and wishing to continue
my subscription, I thought it might
c c not be uninteresting to you to know
that your labors are appreciated out
Bide of your immediate locality. Of
c the twenty or more weeklys I am in
the habit of reading yours is the only
one I pretend to read through. This
:much of approval now a word at the
outset of criticism your proofreader
should be more careful, typographical
errors are sometimes observable. You
c well know how trying it is to a writer
to have his ideas mangled and reading
perverted by misplaced types.
I am glad to see that your efforts in
favor of building Railroads have so far
been successful as to secure the votef
o your town and precinct for rendering
"material aid" to the B., Ft. K. & P.
R. R. Co., by a large majority. The
only wonder is that the vote was not
. unanimous, so evident is it that Rail
Roads not only double the value of
real estate but also add to the spirit of
business, energy ana prosperity or all
e localities, where they are constructed.
that any man who would vote against
them, when judiciously located, is be
hind the age in which he Jives. But
there is another matter to wh ich I wish
to call your attention, and which is the
o chiei object or my writing this letter.
Railroads, through uninhabited prai
ries can be of but little use. You need
a population to cultivate land through
o which your Railroads are to go, for
this you must Iook to immigration,
o As surely as water seeks its level, so
0 surely 'loos the tide of immigration
flow along, or near the paralells of lat
itude from which it starts, if left to Its
own option. The Commissioners of
Immigration 6ay that the arrival in
New York for 1SG9 were 254,875. Ne
braska, perhaps is about the center of
latitude from wnicn iney came
and should have had more than 1644
which is all she got, according to said
Commissioners.
Since the close of the war it has
been the expectation that as soon as
fire eating element at the South
should give place to a more industri-
, eOUS and peaeeble population, the line
of immigration would deflect in that
direction. Earnest and powerful ef-
forte are now being brought to bear,
" to accomplish this end.
" Southern capitalists having Invested
larrelv in abandoned plantations are
, straining every nerve to draw thither
theflowing population of the old world
as well as the agricultural tskill of the
Northern Stales. Emigrant aid so
cieties are formed in Northern Cities.
Agents are located in New York from
different sections of the South, to ap
proach the emigrant immediately up
on his urnv&l, tolureJiim. with the
promise of cheap lands, bo near Rail
Roads, and good markets, to direct his
courte to the particular locality in
which he, or his employerare interes
ted, always forgetting to tell him that
those lands are worn out with slave
lalour, and that there is in the Great
West a boundless plain of virgin soil,
of inexhaustable fertility, to be had
almost for the asking. Now that you
have proved the fact that all the nec
essary timber for a farraar can be cul
tivated on your prairies at so much
less cost, aye, and less time too, than
a heavily timbered couutry can be
cleared up, and above all that
your soil needs no building up,
and you have no stumps to pull
up, nor root to grub, should you not,
too, be making an effort to give the
newly arrived emigrant a knowledge
of the advantages which you possess?
But I am spinning entirely too long a
yarn for your columns and will close.

We thank our unseen friend from
the "Quaker City," for his valuable
letter, and will endeavor to profit by

Croslred Wheat.
Paris, Oxtario, Feb. 9th, 1S70.
Col. R. W. Furnas :
Dear Sir: Noticing in your issue
of Dec. 30th that "Thomas Shaw, of
Jenessee County, Mich., raised 210
bushels of Diehl Wheat on five acres
of land.". I beg to call, your attention
to two enclosed reports of committee
appointed by our Ontario Board of
Agriculture and the County of Brant
Agricultural Society, upon my new
Crossbred Wheat, which you will find
yielded me (52) bushels of excellent
Wheat upon one acre of poorly culti
vated land without manure of any
kind.
Having been for many years of the
opinion that our Cereals vegetables
and fruits, have, like the animal
kingdom, in many instances sufl'red
from too close interbreeding. I have
for several years been crossing differ
ent varieties of wheat that are pro
nounced by the farmers "run out,"
and the result has been, in nine in
stances out of upwards of a hundred,
with remarkably increased product
iveness, and improved in quality.
This 52 bushels was all sown again
this fali.a and will be sold after
next harvest, desirous that it should
be tested in every partof this con
tinent, I now offer to the Nebraska
Board of Agriculture through you,
50 bushels of this wheat at $7, 50 per
bushel.
This may appear to you very much
like an advertisement, if so, you must
6trikeitout.it was not intended as
such, and vou must be aware that this
Drice will not half pay any one for
starting with one grain of each of
these varieties, and bringing it on
this far, especialy when the labor of
raising and testing the hundreds of
of rejected kinds is taken into ac
count.
Yours Trul,
CIIAS. ARNOLD.
Mr. Arxold has done, and is doing
more, perhaps, to encourage wheat
growing than almost any other man,
and those who spend as much time
experimenting as he. does, ought to be
paid for it. Mr. A. is the originator
of the famed Arnold's Hybrid Grapes
which rank so high.

The Tomato and its Culture.
As the Season of year i3 approach
Ing when gardening preparations are
to be made, and as the Tomato is now
of so general cultivation we occupy a
large share of our agricultural space
with an article from J. Payxe Lowe,
a successful cultivator of this valuable
vegetable. Box 3224 New York. On
the cultivation and training of the
lomato:
Since this fruit must be brought to
perfection, why grow coarse, unsight
ly, spongy, ill-flavored tomatoes,
when by attending to a few simple,
but important tilings, the finest quali
ties may be had?
IMPORTANCE OF SAVING SEED FROM
EARLY FRUIT.
The temptation of growers for mar
ket, to sell the earliest at a large price
is so great, that little seed is saved ex
cept from those maturing later;
doubtless under the impression that
the seed is just as good. But this is a
freat mMake. The seed from the
fruit which ripens earliest auy season
will be the earliest and best the next
year. There is no doubt that ttie to
mato has been vastly improved bv
careful culture (and can be still fur
ther) in the desirable qualities of ear
liness, productiveness, size, solidity,
fewness of seeds, beauty of form, thin
ness of skin, delicacy of flavor and
riehaess of color.
HOW TO IMPROVE THE ERUPT.
Our experience has told us that this
is the way to do it:
1st. Plants should bo grown in
warm, light, rich sou trom the seeds
of the earliest ripened Yruit having
most, if not all the valuable qualities
mentioned.
2d. They should be grown earl.
3d. During no time of their growth
should they suffer from want of
warmth' sunshine, fresh air. and a
soil in proper mechanical and chemi
cal condition for their healthy growth.
GREMINATING THE SEEDS IN A LITTLE
. BOX.
For family use, (and it is especially
with this view we write,) the plants
may be started in a little box in a
warm room : and for field culture in a
lot-bed or green house. In quite a
small box all the plants any family
need may be grown. A few plants
well cared for will bo worth a great
deal more than a large number ill-
grown, such as we so often see crowd
ed to suffocation and death In dealers'
hot-beds. Such long, weakly things
can have no value. The little box
need be no more than two feet long a
foot wide and a few inches deep,
covered with glass to counteract the
dryness of the atmosphere of the room.
Put the box in the sunshine, keep
the room warm and caiefully venti
lated. Do not be in too great haste to
germinate the seeds? but once started
see that the plants get no check from
want of care.
WHEN TO SOW SFF.D FOR AN EARLY
CROP.
In the neighborhood of New York,
the seed may be sown about the mid
dle of February or the beginning of
iarcn.
TRANSPLANTING.
YV hen the plants are two or three
inches high they may be put into Iar
ger ones, or into a hot-bed. the trans
planting of tuem at least twice, or
even three or four tinie3 before put
ting them in the open crround. (which
should not be done till all appearance
of frost has gone, unless they are pro
tected when necessary.) will hasten
early ripening. Each time, before
transplanting, the soil should be well
watered so that a oall of earth mav be
removed with each plant, and this is
particularly desirable when they are
beinir put in the onen irronnd and
thus their growth will not be checked.
During all this time let them have
all the light and fresh air they can
stand; use mild days but beware of
cold and frost. A uniform warm
temperature is desirable, but not so
hotaato make the plants grow too
tall and sickly. If convenient, the
plants, some time before being set in
If ySSffS
the open ground, may be put into a
cold frame, protecting them at first
as much as may be necessary.
If the above plan be followed faith
fully you will have an abundance of
fine healthy plants, when everybody
else is scouring tne country for what
is not always to be found good toma
to plants.
OPEN GROUND CULTURE.
Once in the open ground they will
delight and flourish in a rather light
than heavy, and rich, but not over
rich, soil, and if on the southeastern
exposure of a hill side, where they
will be protected from the cold winds,
and enjoy the sunshine, all the better.
They should not be less than four
feet apart. Keep the soil friable. I
Let no weeds grow. Hoe-early and
often, and they cannot take posses
sion of the soil.
WHEN TO SOW SEED FOR A LATE CROr.
For a late crop the seed may be
sown in the open' ground in spring.
When planted in their place, they
will bear till the frost comes, and
longer if protected.
PRUNING.
As the greater part of the fruit on
the tomato vine is borne near the
ground it will be found that the short
ening of the vines will cause nutri
tion to flow to fruit instead of making ,
branches. Don't be afraid to cut out
all suckers and non-bearing branches,
and to shorten those that wander.
The writer knows that the advantages
of pruning are questioned by some,
but he has learned by experience,
whatever may be the rationale of the
matter, the results are in favor of
rather severe pruning.
KEEPING THE FRUIT CLEAN. .
The fruit may be kept clean and
prevented from premature decay by
spreading brush, salt hay, or other
such material under the vines, or by
trainincr them. But if the soil be
liVht and drv this will not be neces
sary especially for a general crop. In
garden culture, if it be thought best
to train the vines, a simple way is to
set poles twelve feet apart, the tops
five feet high. Attach wires horizon
tally to them, which will form a cheap
trellis for the vines, thus exposing
them to the free action of the sun and
air. The flavor of the fruit thus
grown will be finer than that ripened
on the ground.
VARIETIES THE BEST.
A great deal might be said on varie
ties: but after having tried the most
popular ones the writer grows "Les
ter s 1 elected Tomato" in preference
to all others. Though not one of the
newest varieties claiming attention
having been favorably known for
some years but as many mixed and
sjmrious seeds have been grown and
sold under this name, which misrep
resent the fruit and the gentleman
who introduced it, the writer has
taken some pains to secure the genuine
seed. He grows "Lester's Perfected
Tomato," first, because he thinks it
the best, and second, because he farms
for profit as well as for pleasure.
The Sunflower.
Years ago the leaves of this were
uced as a substitute for tobacco, and
were said to be useful in asthma.
They are excellent fodder for cattle.
The seeds make good feed for chick
ens, besides yielding very superior
oil. The stems make the very test
bean pole3, and if cut and kept dry,
are good kindling wood. The leaves,
whether green or-dry, are eagerly
devoured by horses or cows. We are
not prepared to vouch for the correct
ness of the opinion, that the sunflow
er is an absorbant of malaria, and
therefore a preventive of fevers, but
some persons who live on low ground
cultivate it near dwellings under this
impression. Leaving this point out
of view altogether, the plant is wor
thy of cultivation. One good quality
has not yet been mentioned, but it is
one of the most important recomen
dations it affords excellent pasture
for bees. Indeed the florets are so full
of honey that the bees seem to be
clogged with the excess of sweetness
and sometimes are so covered over
with it that they become helpless,
until their comrades come to their j
relief. We are persuaded that if a;
corner of a yard or garden has once
become devoted to the raising of sun
flowers, there will be no disposition
in subsequent seasons, to let the sup
ply die out. lake it altogether the
sunnower is deserving or iar more
attention than has usually been allot
ted to it. Journal of the Farm.
