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

Pruned tomato vines viii produce
more fruit and a superior quality to
that crown on vines that are allowed
to develop with no attention as to
shape and density Of the foliage. The
plant that must supply s~ustenanee to
more branches than are necessary for
supporting the crop, viii have its vi
tality so u~selessly Slapped by them that
the fruit viii 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 x
perience in pruning tomatoes might
do well to wait till the vines begin to
blossom, before trimming out any Of
the branches, when it can be seen
where the crop will be too thick
these spots being thinned out by clip
ping on the smaller and weaker
branches, leaving the healthy, vigor-
Ous ones for developing and support
ing the fruit.

StYmies.

Stymies yer frequent In the classic
North and South golf tournament
played at Pinehurst, it is reported.
What is a stymie? An accidental rela,
tfon in the position OF two golf balls in
play which imposes an utterly illog-
ical, indefensible, serious penalty upon
a player for no fault of his own: fire.
quently the result Of the stroke Of the
opponent Of the player who suffers the
penalty. The stymie is a destroyer OF
sweet tempers, q prompter TO the use
Of strong language and hard liquor,
an insult to the spirit OF sport. The
gtymie has no reason for being, a
million for not being, and is sweeter
than perfume, love, life itself to the
makers Of the rules Of golf.

NioIins Keeninn lone.

The best violin makers use timber
which has been seasoned for many
years, sometimes centuries, buying
beams from ancient buildings for the
purpose. Changes in the grain of the
wood caused by ~shrinkage, or wealth
ering, will affect the tone of a violin
materially. The Italian school of
makers invented varnishes which were
believed to have ~preservative qualities
and to prevent changes in timber tex
ture. If your violin is made of perfect
~ seasoned wood, and is well treated
with a good varnish, it should pre-
ser Ee its tone all right.

Earth Shocks Due to Frost Cracks.

In the annual lists of earthquakes
registered at the Harvard seismo-
graphic station occasional shocks oc-
curing in winter are noted as due to
frost cracks" i. e., the sudden open
ing of assures in the ground resulting
from freezing. Professor Woodwork,
director of the station, states that the
late Professor Shaler, in one of his
lectures, mentioned the occurrence of
a sensible shock at Cambridge, which
he traced to a crack in the frozen
ground. Professor Woodwork says
that this idea of frost cracks is very
widespread in New England as an ex-
PLANTATION Of many small shocks com.
ing at a time when the frozen ground
is known to have cracked open"

CAUSE OF CALVES SECURING

to Overlooking Skim Milk or Lack

Many are forever having trouble

ing cold milk, or to lack of thorough
ness in cleaning and frequently scald-

kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means o.
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid =
legs to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulat-

At the first twinge of rheumatism

ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon

NEW YORK, March 2S.-They're lit
tie, but oh! my, for frocks and frills
the tiny Jills mount up as enormous
bills as the big gals. No longer are
little sisters content with dresses
made over out of big sisters or moth
er's cast-offs. Nowadays, with all the
sophistication of a full grown follower
OF vogue the wee ones insist on the
latest spring lines and silhouettes in
the replenishment of their wardrobes.
Like the elders, the childrens styles
smack of period dressing; Louis Seize,
Directoire, 1860, 1880 and also Louis
Quinze. Of course, all their skirts
are as full and wide as their mothers,
but a modicum shorter. Cunning little
peasant frocks with pointed bodices of
laced black velvet over short-sleeved
frilly blouses of white batiste ad lit
tie full Powered skirts of challie or
crepe are quantity charming and also
childish. Many, indeed, are the little
models shown with separate waists and
skirts, some with peplums and others
with little suspender effects to match
the skirt material. Dear, indeed to
the hearts of little girlhood are these
miniature separate blouse and skirt
affairs just like a real grown-up lady's.
One of the suspender models comes
with a skirt of striped green and
white linen, yeritable little shirt
waist of white batiste, it's turn-ove
collar and cuffs finished with frilling
picot edged in green. A wide, band
like belt of plain green linen embroid-
cred in vine of white has two wide
suspender straps going one over each
shoulder, the square ends of which
protrude below the belt line in little
tab effects, like peplum. This model
also comes in rose and white and blue
aid white. AS for coats, they are all
narrow across the shoulders and flare
nodishly toward the finish. Silk pep.
lum or gabardine are the smartest ma
terials, always of course including
faille. Some of them show touches OF
shocking, insets below the high waist
line of blocks and pleats or tucks and
some are frogged smartly in gold or
silver braid. Yet others rely on a col
lar of real lace, a jewelled button or
two or just the lustre of the material
to add chic. Hats run mostly to in
verted bowl effects of leghorn and Mi
Ian braid, or to quaint little bonnets.
Picot edged ribbons are used lavishly
as trimming, as are mutton roses and
the gay cherries so beloved Of the
grown-ups just now. Little feet shod
