THINNING FRUIT.
An Important Matter which Has Long
Been Neglected by Hortioulturists.

An Important Mltter which Has Long
Been Neglected by Hortiouiturists.
When planted in good soil, good
thrifty fruits will nearly always over
load themselves. and in order to secure
the best, smocthest and largest fruit,
considerable thinning must be done;
this is especially the case with grapes
and tree fruits.
Choice apples, peaches. pears,
ounces; in fact. the best of all kinds of
fruit command the best prices and al
ways sell. Ofttimes the market be-
comes glutted with poor fruits, and
the prices realized are really below
whatsit costs to produce them and
sometimes they can not be sold at any
price, while at the same time the
choicest and best are selling at profit
able price.
Too many fall into the error Of think
ing that by thinning they lessen the
quantity so much that they prefer to
let the fruit ali remain. This Is mis-
take, as well as 10 think that by thin
ming they lessen the profit on the fruit.
When tree is heavily loaded, the
fruit must necessarily be small and
this will lessen the quantity; then the
fruit being small will sell for a less
price, and really cost moro TO
sell, and you really lose rather
than make by not thinning.
Then in addition, when tree
or vine Is allowed to overload and ma
turc the fruit it is a strain upon the vi
tiilty OF the tree, 50 much that rest
must be had and the next year the tree
will fail to bear.
Whenever tried judciously, thin
ming fruit always pays; but it requires
considerable courage when the trees
are laden with young fruit to 90 over
and pull of and throw away consid-
cradle portion of the fruit. To one
who has never tried il, at first il would
seem like a waste; yet il has been test
ed sufficiently to prove its value.
The work Of course should be done
early. as soon after the fruit has set as
possible. The longer the fruit grows
alter setting the more waste of vitality
OF the tree, that should 90 to the other
fruit that is left upon the tree TO ma
ture. 1t should be done as evenly as
possible over the tree, thin so as To
give each specimen left as much room
as possible. Close crowding is what
often makes ill-shaped fruit. II you
have never been in the habit Of thin
ling try a few trees first TO see the ef.
feet, and in a majority OF cases you
will conclude that il is beneficial. IN

fhe secret Of Forcing People 70 Believe
That They want An Article.


The secret Of Forcing People 10 believe
That They want An Article.
It Is very rare to find business man
and an extensive advertiser who has a
clear conception Of the secrets Of his
own advertising success. Usually
those points on which he lays most
stress are harmless hobbies and have
produced no benefit whatsoever. One
notion upon which much stress Ia laid,
and which is commonly considered the
whole secret of successful advertising
is to attract attention. The ordinary
advertiser is so thoroughly permoated
with the idea that this is the secret Of
success, that he feels perfectly satisfied
when his advertisement Is showy and
In a position where 1t can not fail to be
seen.
In all successful advertising there Is
something deeper than this. Simply
attracting attention and becoming
well known Is not all that is needed.
Many of our readers will call to mind
an advertiser who in 1912 succeeded
as we'll as most men in getting a recog-
milton from the public. He failed, how
ever, to induce people to buy While
he possessed the secret Of attracting at
tention, he did not know the secret of
successful advertisement. IL Is a
rule that men never buy until they
want, or think they want. No matter
how frequently a mans attention is
called to the fact that Pills Butter
Polish for Shirt Fronts Is forty
nine per cent pure, he will not
buy until he feels desire for buttcred
front, instead of the common oleomar-
garine style. Placard the pyramids of
Egypt, and paint on every peak of the
Rocky Mountains, paste In the crown
Of every hat in the United States, the
fact that Pills "Shirt Front Butter"
sells for ninety-nine and four-tenths
cents per package, yet not IA raw
Jack will buy until he wants his
"biled shirt with fabricated front.
The real secret is in persuading, con-
vincing even against the will-forciLg
people to believe that they want an ar
ticle. This art, or secret, the good adj
vertiser always possesses. He may
seem to direct all his efforts 30 attract
ing attention, or to the production OF
stunning effects, yet, If we examine
carefully, the strong point is found in
the persuasion or conviction which he
manages to carry TO the mind of the
reader. The art of making a noise, OF
producing a great display, of securing
goodpositions and Of gaining notoriety,
sink into insigniticance beside this per-
saasive method of putting things.
Often it is not done by words or senti.
ments. The want may be insinuated
in the mind by a turn of an expression,
or name. A picture or a trademark
have been in some cases the successful
means. The method matters little, 50
long as the public is made TO feel the
want for the advertisers goods. The

into Fertilizers.
Corn cobs rot very slowly. and but
few farmers have the patience to wait
until they are decomposed. They are
very rich in potash, over twenty-five
per cent Of that substance existing in
them The cobs that accumulate an

made special crop make quite q large
amount Of potash. but not In an avail.
able form, and the farmer can not
utilize them as he should IL is sug-
gested that they be burned to ashes,
which Is very sure way of deriving
the potash from them, but every one
thousand pounds Of cobs contain two
pounds Of nitrogen, and It, also, is an
item worth saving The question is
whether the heat derived from the
cobs is sufficient to pay for burning
them and allowing Of the loss of the
nitrogen. Over-balancing this Is the
fact that by reducing them TO ashes
they are rendered soluble and avail
able. There is another form of utiliz-
ing the cobs, however. which is to
grind the grain and cob together Al
though the nutritive matter in cobs
may he but small proportion, yet the
two pounds of nitrogen, some carbon
and n portion of the phosphates and
lime will be appropriated as food, the
refuse being yoided as manure. The
use of the grain and cob ground to-
gethcr, therefore, gives a greater pro-
portion of potash to the manure, and
the practice should therefore be en-
couragcd.
Bnt there are other kinds of refuse
as wells as cobs which should be con-
verted into available fertilizers, such as
straw, cornstalks, scrapings and other
undesirable material. # may be stated
in the beginning that it will be neces-
sary to render all such substances fine
before they can be properly used,
either for direct application upon the
land or as absorbents. To burn them
is TO lose much that may be valuable,
and to attempt to dccomposc them by
placing them in the manure heap be-
fore subjecting them to some kind of
process for reducing them is to lose
time. In order not to entail expense
in reducing such material TO fine
condition, Il should be passed through
a cutter and fed with ground grain,
and those portions which are unfit for
the purpose of feeding may be laid
aside and made fine for bedding pur-
poses. 1t may be stated here that any
kind of material that has been made
fine and then saturated with liquid
manure. or urine, will not only absorb
such, and become saturated. but will
also quickly become decomposed and
be ready for the plants without the
necessity Of heating it in the manure
heap. II once an accumulation of such
material is commenced, all the refuse
liquids or other waste materials of the
farm may be added to Farm, Field
and SiockmdH.

UNEMPLOYED WOMEN.
What Shall lie Done with Those Who Ca
DO No Work?

What Shall lie Done with Those Who Can
DO No Work?
To the thoughtful woman the ques-
ton recurs again and again: What
can be done with the purposeless, un-
trained women willing to work for
wages but unable to spend time and
money in a doubtful attempt to fit
themselves for particular occupationP
A women's exchange is chiefly a store
house for undesirable articles, few OF
which are bought in pity. 1t is a
device of those who are earnestly seek
ing TO help their fellow-women and
not a natural outgrowth Of the law OF
supply and demand. The training
school begins at the foundations; il
fits a girl to hold her own, asking no
favors.
A woman's duty begins with the
woman nearest TO her by ties of blood
and affection, and stretches out to
those accounted less fortunate than
herself; but it does not end there.
There are women far above her in the
scale of wealth, perhaps, who need a
wider outlook and broader sympathies;
who need to be drawn out of themselves
and their eXclusiveness; who need to be-
interested in the great, busy, strug-
Cling world outside of their circle, and
to feel that upon them rests, in part,
the responsibility of making it better
and purer In some ways they are
more restricted than the woman who
sews for them. The wife Of teamster.
il she have the time, can take up any
remunerative employment, and her
friends neither question nor repudiate
her. The wife Of millionaire, pos
sessed OF unlimited leisure, must be
idle. For "be also is idle who might
be better employed II she can en-
dure the epithet of 'peculiar" she may
give her life to the investigation and
improvement Of tenement houses or
devote herself to a particular line of
study; otherwise her work for her fell
low-men and women will be confined
to charity balls and fashionable bazars.
To do aught which would bring her n
return in money is not to be thought
of for an instant.
And from the wife and daughter Of
the millionaire TO the girl who starves
behind a counter rather than go into n
comfortable kitchen, the same power
Is at work. Alasl how weak we are
Women may say that all honest work
is ennobling, and all voluntary idleness
belittling, and that, in comparison
with the woman who never lifts a
finger 10 serve another, nor has a
thought above her own adornment and
her social conquests, the woman who
does the work Of her kitchen, If she do
it well, is worthy Of all the honor; but
the conviction has not yet become a
part Of them.-EHa O. Lapham, in
Forum.

AT AUCTION +!

;, We will sell at auction, on the
premises, ON Dayton avenue near
Western avenue, On Tuesday, Au-
gust 81, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, Lots 3 and 6, in Block
80, Dayton & ryine's Addition to
st. Paul. This fine property has
a double frontage of 20 feet each
ON Dayton and Nelson avenues.
The Dayton avenue front is well
adapted for business purposes,
being in the very center of the st.
Anthony Hill business district,
while the Nelson avenue property
will make very desirable resi-
dence grounds. The neighbOr-
hood is all that could be desired,
the st. Joseph's Academy being
directly opposite. Capitalists and
investors will find in this sale a
rare chance to make a profitable
investment. A good business
block built at this point will
readily rent at a good price and
pay the owner from Is to 20 per
cent. ON bis money. The Nelson
avenue front could be improved
by a large tenement to rent in
flats and which would also find
good paying tenants. Water, Gas
and sewerage pass the property.
Two lines of street cars pass the
door. The improvements consist
ola good double cottage and barn.
The terms will be made very easy
and announced hereafter.
