In the Greenhouse,,

In general treatment of the green
house during winter, watering, airing
and temperature are three important
items. Good judgment should be used
in watering, especially during the short
days, says a New Jersey grower In
New England Homestead. Tomatoes
and cucumbers can be. grown in the
same temperature that Is, GO degrees
at night, 10 to rs degrees day Some
grow in solid beds, others on raised
benches For the winter months pre-
fer the raised benches, setting the
plants eighteen Inches apart and TWO
feet between the rows, pinching off all
the lateral groWths, allowing just one
stem to plant. Then. when the plants
get up six or seven feet high, pinch the
top. This should allow at least seven
good trusses of fruit.
A few points might be considered as
to the best method Of bringing on the
crop. IN the first place, tomatoes should
be grown on the dry side, especially
through the short days; otherwise they
win make soft, long jointed, undesira-
BE vines. Under these conditions It IS
difficult matter to get satisfactory
set Of fruit. 1t is also necessary to
have the soil they are growing in fair
" firm. Water when absolutely neces-
sary-that is, give thorough drench-
ing, then allow the beds to go until
fairly dried. Provided the plants do
not wilt for need Of water, there will
ha no damage In fact. foliage IS a

odd sense Of confusion he turned to her
afresh
'sThen am forgiyen?v he said. And
unconsciously as he moved nearer he
touched her arm.
At his touch she started. All the
yielding sweetness, all the submission,
that had marked her two nights ago
was gone. III its place she was pos
sessed by curious excitement that
stirred while it perplexed.
Loder, moved by the sensation, took
another step forward. Then am

Her face was averted as he spoke,
but be felt her arm culver, and when
at last she lifted her head their eyes
met. Neither spoke, but in an instant
Loder's arms were around her.
For a long silent space they stood
holding each other closely. Then, with
a sharp movement, Eve freed herself.
Her color was still high, her eyes still
peculiarly bright, but the bunch Of vio-
let's she had worn in her belt had fallen
to the ground
"John, she said quickly, but on the

Of nervousness she stopped to pick up

But she made no answer. For a Sec

barrassed laugh.

exclaimed. Like schoolgirl instead

They Thrive on All Kinds Of Soil Ex-
cept Wet Land.
The Angora goat industry has devei-
pped remarkably during the last five
years and it is estimated that there
are now in this country about 900, 900
Angoras, distributed IN all the states
and territories The largest focks are
in Texas and New Mexico, but the
northwest has also successful focks,
and no part Of the country is untitled
for them, Angoras endure extremes
Of heat and cold and thrive on all
kinds of soil except wet land They
prefer rocky land covered with brush.
BY nature they are climbers and
browsers. The denseIy covered rough
lands Of the south, the wornout farms
Of New England and the astumpage'
districts of Michigan and Wisconsin
are especially adapted to them. Their
habit of browsing makes them valua-
Bile for clearing land Of brush. Their
chief value, however, lies in their long,
silky fleece, which is known as mo-
hair.
Niohair is largely used ia the manu-
facture of plush, imitation astrakhan
and mohair dress goods (brilliantines).

Loder looked at her uncertainty.

But Loder was still uncertain. He
caught her hand. his eyes searching

But Eve he began.
Then Eve played the last card in her
mysterious game. Laughing quickly

laid it over his mouth.
