GIVE CARE TO COMPLEXION
Simple Precautions That Are Neces-
ssy When One Is on Long or
Short Journey.

When you start on your journey,
use your complexion brush well, then
rub cold cream into the skin, and pow
der lightly. This will protect the skin
from chapping. During the day do not
use water and soap on the face-with
the cinders and dust. IL is too drying.
Instead. carry a rumber OF little three
or four-inch cheesecloth squares. and.
when the face needs refreshing or
cleaning. smear ii with cold cream and
go over IL carefully with cheesecloth
square. wiping off cream and dirt to-

kimono or Pullman robe. and get out
complexion brush and your own soap.

More Profitable If Farmer Un-
derStandS Growth.
First Object Should Be to Give New
Wood Room In Which 20 Grow
Summer Pruning Is Done Dur
ing June o. July.

The pruning OF the red raspberry
will be better understood IL the prun-
er knows the habit of growth of the
plant. A new cane springs up and de-
velops during the summer: the next
spring this cane throws out fruit clus-
tiers, bears fruit, and dies that year
The root is perennial and the cane is
biennial. The object of the pruner
then, should be: first, to remove the
old wood as soon as II dies IN order
to give the new wood room in which
to grow; second, to secure, both by
thinning aud by heading-in, canes to
sufficient vigor and development to
produce tho most and the largest fruit.
There Is a slight difference between
the methods of pruning the red and
the black raspberry, a variation due
to different habits OF growth The
canes of the blackberry grow long
and droop to the ground, whereas the
canes of the red raspberry are shorter
and upright. Because of this long
growing and dropping habit of growth
of the canes, growers pinch off the
tips OF the black raspberry in order to
make the canes branch. A branched
cane is desired because il contains
more fruit buds than does a straight
cane.
This work is done when the canes

1t was with a great sense of com
fort that he finally opened the little
factory, giving employment to some
% men. Expenses and wages were
low. 1t was true that Acton was 20
miles from railroad. II did not even
boast an automobile. The town was
isolated-shut In to itself-but once
a week a slow numbering side-wheel
steamer came up from the city with
passengers and freight and took back

neat boxes, not many of them, for the
points brought high price, were man

Sidney had settled down to a hum

the jar and hustle OF the city. He
figured out growing business based
upon tight overhead expense. His
help was not overworked; he was
modest in his style of living. He
brought work and comfort to many a
poor workman. His ambition was
satisfied.
And now, suddenly. terrifcally
alarming, came the advent OF Biggs.
Many time Sidney had realized that
he was straining his credit, but the
orders ahead were sure future in

PRUNING THE TOMATO VINES
More Fruit Produced Than on Plants
Allowed to Develop With No At
tention to Shape.

Pruned tomato vines will produce
more fruit and superior quality to
that grown On vines that are allowed
to develop with no attention as to
shape and density of the foliage. The
plant that must supply sustenance to
more branches than are necessary for
supporting the crop, will have its vi
tally so uselessly Slapped by them that
the fruit will be small in size and Of
an inferior quality.
No set rule can be given for prun-
ing tomatoes, which should be done
according to their size, shape and Wig
or. However, tall, top-heavy vines are
TO be guarded against by cutting out
the tops. thus encouraging lower
growth and heavier branches for sup
porting the fruit. Long. slender
branches are to be trimmed back well,
else the fruit will be understood. while
the timber branches often will bend
down till the tomatoes come in con
tact with the damp earth, causing
premature ripening and rot.
Those who have had little or no ex-
perience in pruning tomatoes might
do we'll to wait till the vines begin to
blossom, before trimming out any OF
the branches, when it can be seen

in time the tender tips may be pinched
off with the fingers and the use of
shears is not necessary. The patch
must be gone over mere than once,
since the canes will not all reach the
desired height at the same time.
Briefly summarized, the pruning of
the black raspberry is as follows: The
old canes should be cut out and
burned soon after fruiting. The new
canes should be pinched back when
"a tc 80 inches high, and thinned to
not more than five or six canes to each
crown. This pruning is called sum-
mer pruning, and is done in June or
July. In the spring the lateral
branches are cut back so that the re-
naming buds will develop into strong
fruit clusters.
