Increasing the Tomato Crnn-

If you want your tomato plants to
bear plenty of fruit do not feed them
too literally with manure until each
is furnished with at least three punches
of fruit. Too much manure encour-
ages rank growth, which is not con-
ducive to fruit bearing. Keep all side
shoots removed, allowing one main
stem only to each plant. Do not re-
move any Of the leaves unless they are
dying or infected with disease. To-
matoes in greenhouses should get plen-
~ of air daily. During the middle of
the day give each plant gentle shake
to distribute the pollen and insure fruit
forming freely.

time TO set them out? Can't / SET
out a bed now and have fruit next
year?" When we tell the questioner,
that the best way is TO set out the bee
in the spring and that they will ge'

But some Of the more insistent one,

Advantages of GirdIInR.

The object of girdling is to check the
flow of sap and TO stimulate the forma-
ton of fruit buds. The nonfruiting
trees have tendency to form too MANY
wood buds, and this means too few fruit
buds. Pear and apple trees will endure
girdling to a really remarkable extent.

and the gap has been covered perfectly
by new bark. Pear trees that have
girdied show the same ability to re-
place bark.-Farmers' Review

There is something very depress-

health resort, where ones companions
are fellOw.suflerers, and where the con-

Avoid this, as well as the expense of
remaining, by trying the Compound

they say Of Compound Oxygen. You
