that the greatest strain is on the
trees during the stOning period, and
for that reason alone it appears a
mistake to- in many cases, ovcrtax the
tree. Our practice is to thin as soon
as the fruit is set; in about a fort
night the trees are gone over again,
taking off any fruit left previously
too close together. and are given their
final thinning The fruit remaining
swells up rapidly, and the trees are
enabled to make good growths for
another season. At stoning time we
do not lose per cent. OF fruit, in
fact cast fruit is rare occurrence.
Thinning the fruit should he do le
judiciously, taking off the fruit from
the under side of the trelis or from
any position where the sun cannot

The trades i'm India are governed
to Il great extent by the castles, and,
to u certain extent, each caste is lin

Thus Brahmin may lie carpenter

waterman or Il sweeper If chow
kidar for instance, belongs to the
Brahminicll caste, he has his own
cooking utensils, and if MussulmaI
should touch them under any circum.

have to be purified by some mysteri.
Gus and tedious process before the
Brahmin could use them withou,

A chOwkidar could not be induced
to use sweeper's broom. 1t would
be detilement for Hindu to receive
food or water from the hands of one
of lower caste than himself, and
drinking water may only be received
from one OF higher caste. A car
penter will not take drinking water
from the water carrier who supplies
the kitchen, asd Brahmin must be
employed for the special purpose OF
bringing water to the workmen.
Each servant may get his own water,
but need not bring any to the others,
as they would not take any from him.

How Various Races Sit.

The ideal of a graceful sitting DOS
ture has varied in the different ages
of the world. The Egyptians sat bolt
upright, the knees and feet pressed
together. 1t was the ceremonial at
titude. The Greeks and Romans,
when their seats had no backs and
they we're at liberty to forget their
dignity, sat STOPPING. with one or both
elbows supported by the arms. The
Chinese ideal was the knees and feet
wide apart. They have maintained
that attitude in sitting for 4, 600
years. The Saxons and early Nor
man Kings are represented in old
manuscripts and coins in the same
position. Down to a date compare
lively recent kings and queens re-
ceived sitting stiffly on their thrones.

How Big Are Your Eaby's Eyes?

How big is "a Young baby's cye?"
We have heard it stated within the
last day or two that "a young baby's
eye" is as Dig as Il grown persons eye;
that the eve does not grow as the
body grows; that it is the same size
when the baby is born as it is after
the baby has grown to be man or
woman; that it is born full size, and
is then as big as it ever gets to be-
This statement has been submitted
to number of experts on babies.
who generally agree that "a young
baDy's eye" grows as the body grows,
though not in the same ratio. But
is it true? Authorities are sometimes
in error Expert witnesses frequently
tangle themselves up in all kinds of
contradictory statements Of facts; ex.
pert physicians do not reach the same
conclusions from identically the same
basis of reas oning; expert cotton
buyers often buy when the slump in
the markets proves that thy should
have sold. 1t may be that the baby
experts whom We have questioned
upon the subject of baby eyes have
spoken without due consideration.
We should like to have the puzzle
settled. DO babies eyes grow? How
big is young baby's eye?

Round vs.. Se-ShOe Tile,

Where the bottom of the water way
is narrow, as it is in round tile, a
very little water sufiices to flush it.,
and for this reason it is less likely to
fill up than is horseshoe tile. In
the latter case there is an additional
tendency Of the edge of the tile rest
ing on the bottom of the ditch to sink
into the mud and thus o. struct the
water flow. 1t is probably true that
a well-laid tile drain will never be en-
tirely closed, but we know from eX-

tile was laid in soft ground it has
filed up so that it did little towards
relieving the soil Of surplus water

Timothy Hay.

After twenty-five years of expert
ence and careful observation l have
arrived at what deem the best all
round time for cutting the timothy
crop. OF the several different pro-
ducts Of the farm none Is of more i'm
po.tance than the timothy crop No
better hay for horses is grown, with
the notable exception of prairie hay;
therefore it is of Importance
that it be properly harvested, mas
much as upon this the quality de-
ponds largely. The proper time to
cut timothy is when the nutritivc
qualities are at their maximum
Now, as a matter CT fact, this all
important period is reached about
six to ten days after the bloom has
passed. Hay cut at this special time
will prove entirely satisfactory to the
owner. Yet rather free use of COM
mon sense is absolutely necessary as
to tine length Of time that should re.
lapse after the bloom has fallen. OF
course much depends on the season.
Some farmers we'll informed in other
matters pertaining TO farm work per-
procured by cutting when the seed is
ripe. and that at no other time does
the stalk contain nearly so much sub.
