HAND THINNING oE FRUITS.

When danger of frost Is past and 1t
IS apparent that the trees have set
more fruii than their size would seem
10 indi, ale that It will be possible for
them 10 bring to n good sized maturity,
hand thinning should be resorted to.
This will not only reduce the number,
but will al the same time improve both
the size aud quality Of the fruit re-
maiD.ng. th,' total weight or volume OF
fruit not being reduced by the process,
but simply being confined beneath
fewer skins The thinning In most of
the western orchard districts Is done
when the apples are about the size 0
a shelled walnut. and the practice is to
leave no fruit on the trees closer than
s inches The same rule holds for
pears. while for smaller fruits, such as
peaches aid apricots. the distance at
which the fruit Is left apart Is about
four inches. varying somewhat upon
the variety and size which 1t usually
attains lf the thinning Is carefully
done much defective fruit may be
eliminated In the process. thus reduc-
ing the number of culls which win
have to be handled at harvest time.

The Illustration shows the picture of
Bernice Allen, the "littlest girl" In the
chorus of '"rhe Skylark," musical
production which Is likely TO amuse
Gothamites all summer.
This small lady is only four feet
eleven inches high. but the most won
derful thing about Miss Allen is her
hair, which measures several inches
longer than her petite self
When asked what hair tonics, To-
tions and revitalizers. preparations
most women have resource to, she
used Bernice Allen airily remarked,
why, like Topsy, it jes' growed.".
The following are Miss Aliens rules
for care of the hair:
First.-Brush your hair every night
and morning with long bristle brush
with ample space between.
Second-Wash your hair not oftener
than once every four weeks, using the
best soap. Dry the hair thoroughly
in the old fashioned way, avoiding
electric fans and heated air, both of
which tend to dry up the oil ducts at
the roots.
Third.-Give your hair plenty of sun
shine
Fourth.-Avoid doing your hair up
tightly and never use sharply pointed
hairpins.
Fifth.-When retiring arrange your
hair In two loose braids.
Sixth.-Massage the scalp with the
finger tips very gently for ten minutes
before doing the hair UP for the night.

inches into the soil. or paint the trunks

been added, these precautions should
not be allowed to take the place of an
Individual tree inspection. This is best
done by keeping all grass and weeds
hoed away from the trunk of the tree,
getting down on all fours and careful

inches below the surface of the ground

pruning knife being preferable. The
presence of the newly Matched borers
will be indicated by drop of discolor-
ed sap exuding from the bark or tiny
bit Of brown wood dust. If the borers
