There is considerable difference of

however, and not the least common, is
insufficient space.
A SOW when she lies down in close

IMPORTANCE OF CULTIVATION
When Work In Garden lie to BE Done
BY Horse Rows Should Be Long
and Narrow.

An important consideration in plan
ming the garden is the KIND of cultiva-
ton to be given. Horse cultivation
lie recommended whenever possible,
and where the work is to be done
mainly by means of horse tools the
garden should be long and narrow
with the rows running the long way.
The garden should have no paths
across the rows, but turning spaces
should be left at the ends. For hand
cultivation the rows can be much
closer together, and may run across
the garden. In the suggested plan,
where the distance between the rows
is less than two feet, hand cultiva-
ton with a wheel hoe is contem-
plated. II hand cultivator or wheel
hoe is not available. the rows should
be at least two feet apart to give
sufficient space for the horse cultiva-
tor. Straight. lines should be fol-
lowed. no matter what method of cul
true is used.

TO INCREASE TOMATO YIELD
Maine Station Reports Gain Of SO Per
Cent by Praetice-others Re-
port Fruit Rotted.
(By s. NJ. CLINToN)

We have never been able to increase
the yield of tomatoes or improve the
quality by trimming, although some
experimenters, among them the Maine
station, assert that trimming is an Inn
provement.
The Maine station reports that the
increase in the yield due to trimming
reached as high as so per cent and
the gain In weight was very marked.
The plants were started in the field
June /, headed back July "a. August
5 and September 5. This work should
be done earlier in the milder climates.
At each trimming the leading
branches were shortened about six
inches and most of the side shoots be-
low the first clusters were removed.
The other clusters were shortened
and by training the vines on wires to
run from five to ten feet high, the sum
light was admitted to all parts of the
plants.
In our own experiments we have
found that when the vines we're freely
trimmed the fruit rotted to a con-
siderable extent and did not ripen as
quickly nor as evenly as when the
vines were untrimmed in the same
garden. In fact. three years ago we
trimmed every other hill, tanning
them on stakes with cross pieces, and
allowed the other vines to go UNI
trimmed, held in place only by single
frame, inclosing the plants on all sides,
about eighteen inches high.
That year we found the ripest and
best fruit on the untrimmed vines.
while that on the trimmed vines
ripened uneveniy and showed a de-
clded tendency to rot
That was a dry season with us, and
it may be that the trimmed vines re-
ceived too much hot sun. Another
thing noticeable was that the flavor
of the tomatoes on the untrimmed
vines was better and the fruit firmer
than that ON the trimmed vines.

HOGS NEED CLEAN QUARTERS
Many Ailments Of Animals Due to

Cough among tho hogs may be due

hogs 1t is frequently due to minute

very common symptom of hog cholera.
Hogs also have the common forms

the space allowed is too limited and
we frequently see big. heavy sows
with hardly room to turn around in the
diminutive apartment that, previous
to narrowing, served them as sleeping
quarters.
Small breeds should be allowed a
space Of not less than feet by s
feet, increasing in the case OF the
larger breeds up to IL feet by feet,
or IL feet by 10 feet, and to prevent
the young pigs from being crushed
against the wall 1t is a good plan to
fix a strong rail around each side of
the narrowing place, at a height of
from seven to nine inches from the
aoor and a similar distance from the
wall.
This will prevent the SOW founder
Ing down with her back against the
side of the pen and provides refuge
for the youngsters who can get under
the projection.
1t is a great mistake to provide the
narrowing SOW with large quantity
or bedding. Under ordinary circum-
stances there is no better bedding ma
terial for pigs than good wheat straw,
but for the narrowing SOW a moderate
quantity of short stuff is preferable to
the long materials, in which the pigs
are apt to get tangled and unable to
escape quickly out of the way of
clumsy mother.
The question whether at narrowing
time the SOW should be left to her
own devices, or assisted in any way
in taking charge of the pigs until the
birth is complete. is much debated by
pig breeders. She should certainly be
watched.
