Destroys Her Personal Independence.

Anna i. McMahan, writing about do
nestle service in the Forum for June, says
that people never cease to wonder that poor
girls choose labor in factories, behind
counters and at sewing machines rather
than the better paid and less fatiguing work
in families, and she goes on to intimate that
while the average housekeeper is not the
most agreeable or efficient person to have
for mistress, still the average hired girls
shrink from housework mainly because it
utterly destroys her personal Independence.
There may be more in this than many PEG
pie imagine. The factory girl has her
evenings, her meal times and her general
freedom. The domestic is never her own. -

Thinning Fruit.

When planted in rich soil good thrifty
fruits will nearly always overload them
selves, and in order To secure the best,
smoothest and largest fruit considerable
thinning must be done. This ia especially
the case with grapes and tree fruits. Choice
apples. peaches, pears, quinces-in fact the
hest of all kinds of fruits command the
best prices and always sell. Ont
times the market becomes glutted
with poor fruits, and the prices
realized, are really below what it cost to
produce them, and sometimes they cannot
be sold mt any price, while at the same
time the choicest and best are selling ut a
profitable price. Too many fall into the
error of thinking that by thinning they
lessen the quantity so much that they pre-
fer to let the fruit remain. This Is a mis-
take rs well 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 be-
inc small will sell for a less price, and you
really lose rather than make by not thin
ming. Then in addition, when a tree or
vine is allowed to overload and mature,
the fruit is a strain upon the vitality of the
tree, so much so that rest must be had,
and the next year the tree will fail to bear.
Whenever tried judiclouSly thinning fruit
always pays, but it requires considerable
courage when the trees are Laden with
Young fruit to 90 over and pull oil ana
throw away a considerable portion OF
the fruit. To one who has never
tried it at first il would seem like a waste,
vet it has been tested sufficiently to prove
lis value. The work, of course, should be
done early, rs soon after the fruit has set
rs 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. Close
crowding is what often makes ill-shaped
fruit. ii you have never been in the habit
of thinning try a few trees first to see the
effect, and in u majority of cases you Will
conclude that it is beneficial.
