Time to Prune and Stake Tomatoes.

Time to Prune and Stake Tomatoes.
The work of pruning and training
tomatoes to the stakes should begin
while the plants are still erect. In
fact, pruning should begin while the
plants are yet in the plant beds and
as soon as side branches begin to
show.
When tying to a stake, allowance
should be made for a large stalk. The
Irvine should first be secured to the
stake and a loop made for the stalk
by means of two fast knots.

Alfalfa With Corn Ration,

Alfalfa makes an excellent pas
ture for hogs. Hogs pastured through
the summer on alfalfa should have
a light feeding of corn. For winter
feeding alfalfa hay makes rapid gains
for hogs. A ration of th%ree-fourths
corn and one-fourth alfalfa is best for
fitting hogs for market, but in very
young hogs the proportion should be
reversed.

Deer Takes Cows MIX.

Bedford, Pa.-For some days Hart
Bush, a farmer at Oppenhefmer, this
county, had found no milk from his
COW at milking time. The COW was
kept in a field near the house and 1t
was thought the calf had stolen 1t, so
it was locked up in the barn. This
morning Mrs. Bush thought she saw
in the early dawn the calf with the
COW and started to drive it away, when
a large deer lightly leaped a fence
and made on.
