Pruning Tomatoes.

Men and women WHO Grow a few
fine tomatoes in their own gardens for
their own use have long prnctice1
more or less pruning of the vines.
Pruning is also practiced systematical-
ly when tomatoes are grown in hot
houses. As a rule, the field culture of
tomatoes is not sufficiently remunera-
tive to make pruning profitable. Pro
fessor Munson found that pruning tie
plants after a part of the fruit had set
increased the yield more than third.
This was under conditions of field cul-
ture, 1t is possible that where the
market is good an increase of one third

GRANGE JURISDICTION.


How Applications For Membership
From Another Jurisdiction Should
BE Treated.
Not little confusion and sometimes
hard feelings arise from nonobserva-
tion of grange jurisdiction, says an ex-
change Sometimes the dividing lines
may be townships, while in other in
stances the lines must be agreed upon
In one township, and this agreement
must be most carefully observed. If
an application comes into n grange for
membership from some person living
within the jurisdiction of another
grange this application should not be
acted upon until the secretary has
communicated with the secretary of
the grange In whose jurisdiction the
applicant lives. The secretary should
state that the application had been re-
ceived from the person living within
the jurisdiction of the grange which
he is addressing and ask the grange
addressed to waive its jurisdiction
over this individual. When a favor.
able report on this point has been re
ceived the grange to which the appli-
cation was addressed is at liberty to
consider it and act upon it. There
have been instances when person
failing to secure membership in a
grange in whose jurisdiction he was
living has applied to a neighboring
grange for admission. has been elected
to membership and then, of course,
has a right to visit as often as he may
see fit the grange which has refused
him membership, thus securing the
purpose he had in view even though
his presence might not be pleasing to
members of the grange which had re
fused him admission. He also might
take a demit card, present it to the
grange where he had sought admis-
sion and lie accepted, inasmuch as only
q majority vote Is required to accept
q member on demit. In case 1t Is sus-
pected that such is the purpose of an
applicant coming from another juris-
diction the committee on his applica'
tion should thoroughly inform them
selves about the applicant and the rea
sons why he failed to secure admis-
sion to the grange In his jurisdiction.
This may prevent much unpleasant
ness later on.

Farm Cleaning.

The cleaning up of hedgerows Of
worthless bushes and dead or dying
trees, or trees that are worthless ex-
cepting as fuel, pays in improving the
looks Of the farm if not in immediate
cash returns, and when this has been
done there will be many other jobs
about the gates, fences and walls that
can be found by any one who Is look
ing for them. Cutting down or dig
ging of weeds around the buildings
and the edges of cultivated fields helps
much to remove the neglected and

BASKET FISH.

When Dried. the Queer Arms Closely
Resemble Plaster of Paris.
At Its marine residence, away down
in deep water, the name on the door
plate would be "Astrophyton," and it
belongs to a species called .ophiurans.
1t Las well marked control disk, not
unlike clam, but has no shell. From
this central body radiate arms, five In
number, like those of the familiar star
fish, and these arms are divided into
minute branches, like the twlgs on
tree, until they number in some cases Il
thousand separately defined hairlike
tendrils. While the body Is not large,
the branches when extended measure
about eighteen inches in diameter. The
creature has the power of incurling
these branches until it closely resem-
bles shallow dish. This it does when
caught and about to die, remaining in
that shape when dried.
1t has been given the name of basket
fish. 1t frequently (when caught by
dredge, for that is the only way it can
be taken) throws off these arms or
parts of them, so that perfect speci-
men Is hard to be procured in its natu,
raj condition.
These arms and their subdivisions
are almost white when dried and close
ly resemble plaster of paris. They are
very brittle, easily broken and cannot
be repaired. The fish live among the
roots of seaweeds and are supposed to
feed upon these, moving about by
wriggling and clambering with their
arms or fastening upon the roots and
pulling themselves along.
Most of the knowledge regarding
their habits is conjecture, for none
have been taken alive and kept for suf-
ficient time to give them proper ex-
animation and study.-St. Nicholas.
