axil of each third leaf. Three clusters
are allowed to form on each branch;
then the end of the branch is clipped
off. This provides for twelve clusters
of fruit, which Mr.. Egbert finds to be
all that the plant can mature Side
shoots which spring from the branches
later are pinched off, leaving only the
main framework of the plant and the
leaves growing on it. He gains much
by keeping the fruit off the ground.
The important point is the effect
this method of training has in hasten
ing the ripening of the fruit. Mr.. Egg
bert claims that while plant allowed
to mature its first cluster undisturbed
may ripen single fruit sooner than a
plant pruned in this way the pruned
plant will be far ahead in the race Of
producing fruit to go on the market
and that by this means he reaps a
handsome reward for his care in the
higher price obtained for the crop.
He also holds some ideas of his own
regarding intensive methods of grow
ing red raspberries and blackberries.
He is not content to grow these plants
by the ordinary method of hedgerows
and self supporting plants, but insists
on keeping the plants in hills and not
allowing more than six canes to each
hill. He objects to a spreading, self
supporting bush because it interferes
with cultivation, and he believes that
thorough cultivation throughout the
ond Ysinonino rnTin6 nf hn
fruit as a means of maintaining the
moisture supply is matter of the ut,
most importance. He ties the canes
to trellis made of two wires strung
on posts. The canes are allowed to
grow tall, being left six feet in height
after being cut back. He finds that
the young canes do not develop strong
fruit buds until they get above the
fruiting canes In order to overcome
this trouble and get well developed
buds without too great height he bends
the fruiting canes over and ties them
to the wires, thus giving the young
shoots a free field in which to develop.
Mr.. Egbert estimates it costs him as
much to grow one acre by this method
us II WOulu u grow Two III the OTul-
nary way, but he is confident that the
greater yields more than repay the ex-
ira cost. He is after cheaper bushels
and feels that this is the way he gets
them. The thorough cultivation which
he gives enables the plants to carry a
crop through drought that cuts of the
crop entirely on bushes as ordinarily
grown. His method also makes one
acre yield as much as many growers
obtain from two.
Danger from late spring frosts may
be lessened by planting orchards or
small fruit plantations on elevated
sides. Severe frosts may occur in the
lowland near this elevated orchard
without doing any injury to the trees
located higher up. Sometimes an ele-
walton of five to ten feet will save a
plantation from injury. If there is an
unObstructed valley near the orchard
where the current of cold air can run
down and escape, similar to the cur
rent of a creek or river, this win often
prevent danger from frOsts.

FIG. CULTURE.
Great Demand For Quick Bearing Va
rieties Of These Fruit Trees.

Great Demand For Quick Bearing Va.
rieties Of These Fruit. Trees.
The fig is one OF the oldest fruits
known, and since it has become
known that figs can be grown in pots
and fruited In the conservatory or in
the open ground, where there are three
months warm summer weather, there
has been a great demand for the quick
bearing varieties by people anxious to
grow fresh figs. These varieties begin
to fruit by the time the young shoots
are six inches long and form fig at
every leaf: Unlike apples, peaches and
other fruits of the kind, the fig is more
like the raspberry or blackberry in the
respect that the fruit does not ripen all
at one time. Figs continue to develop
and ripen until checked by cold
weather.
For pot culture the fig requires about
the same treatment as a rubber plant
and If supplied with plenty of water
the fruit will ripen. Vigorous plants
will have fruit in, all stages of devel-
opment, from the smallest green fruit
70 the ripe hgs ready Tor picking ana
eating.
Celeste bears rather small fruit of
high quality, but is not very. produc-
tive. Ischia has green exterior, the
inside of the fruit being blood red.
Hirtu Japan is an abundant bearer,
and Magnolia bears large pear shaped
fruit.
One fig enthusiast writes that his
figs stood zero weather last year,
though when first set out freezing
weather would kill them. As they be-
come acclimated the plants stand cold
er weather. A gardener in Pennsyl-
vania says her fig tree has withstood
twenty winters with protection. The
tree is bent over to the ground in win
ter and covered with straw and earth.

Why Raise Live stoek7

Because live stock makes 1t possible
for man to put large value into a
small compass and to save in freight
on sending things to market.
Because by the help Of live stock we
are enabled to sell at a high price the
carbonaceous products of the farm.

but which are always in demand in
the markets.
Because the manure made by the live
stock is a valuable byproduct, which
not only puts back into the land the
mineral plant food that has been taken
out, but adds an additional element of
carbon in cellular form, which decays
and affects the plant foods in the sOil

GENERAL FARM HINTS.

1t does not pay to give water in dirty
vessels to any farm animal. Hogs are
no exception.
A manure spreader is great institu-
tion on the farm, but the good it does
is in direct proportion to the amount it
is used.
Much valuable manure is lost in
poorly arranged stables where it is i'm
possible to save or recover the liquids.
After young sow brings her first
litter it will be best if she can be given
a rest before breeding again. The first
litter is usually the hardest draft on
the system of the dam, and for this
reason; If for no other, she should be
given rest.
One thing that operates to prevent
success in horse breeding lies in the
fact that the owners do not work their
stations, as is the universal practice in
the old country. Farmers are accus-
toned to making their beef cattle and
hogs lay on fat. This Is their way of
making money for their owners. Too
many farmers seem to think that the
same practice should apply to the
horse. especially the stallion. This is
wrong. The stallion needs, work for
his own good and the good Of his
progeny. He can be made a money
|. maker in the field and should be. In
this way he will develop bone and
muscle instead of fat and Will be in
better health and sire fewer weakling
foals.

Much time is often lost in clearing
weeds from harrow teeth, especially
those on spring tooth harrows. The
driver must occasionally stop and pull
the weeds out by hand. This is usu-
