CULTIVATION OF THE TODIATO. 
Editors Southern Cultivator — In December dig a 
ditch two feet deep, twenty inches wide; fill in one foot 
with solid stable manure.. Then mix the dirt from the 
ditch with same quantity of manure; fill in, and several 
inches above the surface. Let it stand there until you 
wish to set out your plants in the spring. Then take 
pieces of plank 2x4 inches aivd 12 feet long ; put them in 
the ground two feet— say two pieces at the head of the 
ditch, and two at every 8 feet along the whole length of 
the ditch. Before setting the plants out, the surface of the 
ditch should be loosened up to half the depth. Set your 
plants out along between these pieces of plank, 6 feet 
apart, and as they grow up and require support, nail nar- 
row strips or slats from one piece of plank to ihe other 
lengthwise on each side, not exactly opposite each other 
except the two first. The more the vines grow' the greater 
the quantity of fruit produces!. Cultivated in this manner 
the vines will grow eight or ten feet liigh and bear luxuri- 
antly until a killing frost. J. D. 
Jackson, Miss , July 9 1859.
