SOME SECRETS OF TOMATOES
Runners or Shoots Should BE Punched
on, Allowing But One Main Vine
to Establish Growth.

In choosing tomato plants for grow
ing prize tomatoes, do not select tree
tomatoes, as they are not prolific, but
pick out some good, smooth, meaty
variety. Set the plant on the south
side OF the stake, about four inches
from 1t, and train same to stake as it
grows, tying with binder Irvine or
cloth strings, which are preferable.
Many times when the vines are very
rank two branches will start to grow
from the top. but clip one of, allow
ing only one to grow to q height Of
i've feet. then clip the tops, and keep
them CLIPPED, which will hasten the
ripening, and convert all the strength
of the vine into fruit.
When the plants are eight or ten
inches high, little runners or shoots
win appear In the forks. Here, writes
G. p, Bowlesly in the Farm and Home,
Is where the whole secret lies. These
runners sap the main vine and turn
all the strength into vines instead Of
tomatoes. When they appear pinch
them OF and allow only one main vine
to grow. The fruit buds or blossoms
win also appear in the same fork, but
do not disturb them. Keep clipping
out the runners every time you find
any or when you cultivate them. The
fruit win be nice, early, clean, handy
to pick, great Improvement over the
old way.

INTRODUCTION or QUEEN BEE


Queen bees will ordinarily live and
preside oyer the colony for four or
Eve years before being naturally SUI
perseded, but like d hen they are
much more prolific layers during their
first two years. For this reason, and
also to improve your stock, this is a
good time Of the year to requiem your
apiary. Remove the old queen and
the bees win at once proceed

STRUGGLING queen cells for the pro-
duction Of young one to take her
place. writes I. r. Tillinghast in the
Country Gentleman. SO IL you are
satisfied with the stock nothing more
is necessary, for Ia about twelve days
from the removal Of the old queen a
young one will hatch. In such cases
from two to twenty cells win be
formed, and IL your old queen is. of
choice breeding stock, remove her to
some other colony, and on the tenth
day after cut out carefully all except
one or two cells, and give them to
your other colonies at the time that
you destroy their queens. In day
or two these cells viii hatch and any
colony viii accept newly Matched

At some times of the year il is diff
