FARM NOTES

THINNING FRUIT.-When planted
in good soil, good thrifty fruits will
nearly always overload themselves. and
In order to secure the beet, smoothest
and largest fruit, considerable thinning
must be done; this is especially the case
with grapes and tree fruits. Cholce
apples, peaches, pears, ounces; In fact,
the best of all kinds of fruit command
the best prices and always sell. Oft
times the market becomes glutted with
poor fruits, and the prices realized are
really below what it costs to produce
them and sometimes they cannot be
sold at any price, while at the same time
the choicest and best are selling at
profitable price. Too many fall into
the error of thinking that by thinning
they lessen the quantity so much that
they prefer TO let the fruit all remain.
This is mistake, as well as to think
that by thinning they lessen the profit
on the fruit. When a 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 more to
sell, and you really lose rather than
make by not thinning. Then In addi.
tion, when tree or vine Is allowed to
overload and mature the fruit it is a
strain upon the vitality of the tree, so
much that a rest must be had and the
next year the tree will fall to bear.
Whenever tried judiciously, thinning
fruit always pays; but it requires con.
siderable courage when the trees are
laden with young fruit to go over and
pull off, and throw away a considerable
portion of the fruit. To one who has
never tried 1t. at first it would seem like
a waste; yet it has been tested sutli-
clently 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 after setting,
the more waste of vitality of the tree,
that should go to the other fruit THAT is
left upon the tree to mature. 1t should
be done as evenly as possible. Close
crOwding is what often makes ill-shaped
fruit. If you have never been IN the
habit of thinning try few trees first 10
see the effect, and in a majority of
cases you will conclude that 1t Is bene-
ficlal.

How TO HARVEST ONIoNs.-'1
would advise you," says farmer, Ito
leave the onion sets in the ground one
week after the tops are dead; then take
them Jp and expose them TO the sun
until they are thoroughly cured; then
put them in cool dry place in layers
about six inches deep, where they re-
main until cold weather. Then place
them where they will not freeze, but
do not keep them warm. Store them
just as you take them out of the ground
leaving tops and dirt on. They will
keep much better this way. You can
clean them very early in the spring,
and hope you will get at least %
cents quart for all you may have to
sell. If you intend TO keep on grow
ing sets / would advise you TO raise
your own seed: There is money In on
ion sets at even ten cents per quart"
