1aELLls FOR GARDEN Crops.
10 Easily Constructed and Provides
Ample Support for Plants.

After using bean poles, Stat frames,
and wooden trclliscs OF one kind OF
another for years; until the supply OF
poles was exhausted and prices for
wooden frames became prohibitivc,
began using a combined wire and
string trellis, such as is Shown by the
drawing. says a writer In Farming.
This arrangement serves equally as
well for either benns tomatoes, peas,
cucumbers (undcr glass;. or other
climbing plants. being especially de-
sirable for sweet peas, nasturtiums,
fancy gourds. etc. 1t is desirable. too.
because all of the material used in
its construction. with the exception
of the string, may be used year after
year.
Those who have never trellised up
their tomatoes, either for home use or
for select market supply, do not
realize what a very considerable gain
In yield and quality Is secured by this
method. do not hesitate to say
that under ordinary conditions have
been able to more than double the
yield. and In some cases triple the
marketable product, over the Dush
method. to say nothing of the in
crease in quality. which invariably Sc
cures for the grower the top of the
market, 1t being possible to secure an
earlier and more even ripening and
greater uniformity in the size OF
the fruit; all Of which are desirable
factors in gardening for profit. In
tying up. many of the bloomless lat
erals may be cut out, giving the main
vine more strength and allowing the
sun reader access to the fruit to hast
en- ripening. Trellised fruit Ia always
bright and clean. and almost exempt
from blight and rot In planting to-
matoes for trellising the plants are
set at less than half the distance usual
when grown In the ordinary way.
This trellis may be made to cover
almost any length of row: the longer
the run" the stronger the end posts
and the "dead-man" or guy post will
need to be. The end posts should be
solid and about nine feet long, 30 they
may be set two and half or three

The outlawed Prune,.

There is no doubt" remarked a
head waiter the other day, that peo
pie have a great hesitancy about ask.
ing for prunes in restaurant. And
yet there are hundreds OF people who
would rather eat a dish Of prInes any
day than strawberries out of season.
But there have been 30 many Jokes
about the prunes at the boarding
house and about them being cheap
that people seem to think IL they
asked for them 1t will put plebian
mark on them. Invariably when a
man orders prunes he will tell the
waiter in an apologize tone-and
even then he will say 1t so low that
no one but the waiter can hear him.
Just watch the next man you see eat
ing a dish of prunes in first-class
restaurant and see II he doesn't keep
glancing around furtively like a man
afraid of being caught stealing some
thing"

feet in the ground. or even deeper,
depending on length Of row. with at
least six feet above ground-this
height applies especially to the tall
growing lima and string beans. 1t is
best to sharpen and drive the post,
plant q dead-man eight or ten feet
from post in line of row. This may
be a large stone or chunk of wood.
buried deep enough to hold the
strain. The dead-man and top post
are connected by two doubled strands
of heavy wire, that may be twisted
with a stick in the center totake up
any slack remaining after wires are
stretched and remedy any sag from
strain after vines grow heavy.
Stretch the bottom wires first. ten
to IA inches from the ground, and Sc
curely fasten. Next stretch the top
wire five and half to six feet from
ground. taking extra care to have 1t
as taut as 1t can be made. Drive
stakes or strips one by two inches
firmly in the ground along the line
of wire every twenty to thirty feet
and staple both top and bottom wires
to them. These serve to support the
weight Of crop and hold the trellis
against winds.
Just before the vines are ready for
the first tying put on the string, or
trellis proper. prefer some soft
string such as wool Irvine, which af-
fords the tendril of the plant firm
hold beside being cheap. The distance
that these strings are spaced apart at
top and bottom will depend on the
crop to be trellised; ten to twelve
inches for beans. when plated in
drills and 1S to 20 inches for toma-
toes, for which heavier Irvine should
be used. In passing over the wire
the Irvine must be knotted to make it
cling to one place, else the first gust
of wind will blow 1t into punches and
SO make 1t worthless. The knot that
use Is simple, after one gets the
hang" Of the twist. Pass the twine
up over the wire. carry the ball over
the opposite side and down. then up
and over both the wire and the string
Just laid over. then down and through
the loop lett large enough Tor the pur-
pose and draw taut. when yiu will
have a simple crossed knot on top.
not under the wire, that will depend
for its security on the tautness of the
string. The same sort of knot is
made at bottom. except that the move
ment is reversed. Since l have had
considerable trouble caused by the
slipping of the string as result of
careless workmen, suggest that
enough pains be taken with this part
Of the work to insure the permanency
Of the Irvine when once placed. II you
will try one Of these easily made trel
Uses you will find that the satisfac-
ton and ease with which you are able
to gather the crop will more than pay
for the trouble and slight expense In
putting It up.

If the hogs are in dry pen, start
in by feeding them a little green
clover at once. AS soon as the corn
is hip high, give them little of it to
eat. 1t may not add single ounce of
flesh to their carcasses, but 1t will
accustom them to eating 1t so they
can be fed great deal of green corn
when 1t becomes large enough. The
one great mistake in feeding green
corn is that the change from dry feed
TO it is made too quickly. By start
ing in gradually now with corn and
green clover. this rapid change can be
avoided.

Notwithstanding the passage of the

to a recent statement by the pension
commissioner. 1t reached its maxi
mum In January. 1905, with few

In the next IS months 1t decreased
$4,000; there were 10000 fewer names

the net decrease for April was 2,977,

The late Tsidor Wormscr, the mil
llonairc banker Of New York. laid the
foundation Of his business success as
a clothier in San Francisco. An ac-
cd San Franciscan said of him re-
Gently:
Mr.. Wormscr was shrewd man.
1t you laid proposition before him,
he saw at glance whether it was
good or bad, true or false, and in an
epigrammatic and Illuminating way
ne passed Judgment on it.
For instance: I once heard man
explaining palmistry to Nh. Worm
ser. The man was an ardent palmist.
tic insisted that the lines in the hand
were as trustworthy as the lines in
the Bible. He said that the wise ev-
erywhcre believed in the palmist's s
science.
" Now here he went on, opening
his hand, there is the life line. This
line indicates mfallibly how long you
will live
" YES said Mr.. Wormser. 'Isn Il
it funny though, that the life insur-
anee companies pay no attention to
it7'"
