INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch OF Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy Of Plants to Formation
and Ripening Of Fruit.

The yield and quality of many veg
etables can be increased by pruning
and pinching off center buds, thus
throwing the energy Of the plants to
the formation and ripening Of fruit.
With muskmelons and cantaloupes l
always pinch off the center bud Of the
main vine when it reaches q length Of
four or five feet, says a writer. Gu
cumbers are treated in a like manner.
Such treatment results in increased
size Of the fruit and a Fastening of
maturity. For the same reason the
ends Of pole and lima bean vines are
pinched off when they reach q height
of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruncd severely. But
three stalks are allowed to develop. all
side shoots being pinched off as soon
as they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by q stake four
feet in height.
When the vines reach the top of the
stake the center bud is pinched out.
This stops height growth and throws
all the energy of the vine to the de-
veloping and ripening Of fruit already
set. BY following this method l have
obtained as high rs 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from a single plant.

Women Melting Prejudice.

Fifty years ago trained nurses were
unknown in this country. In 1873 GER
tain ladies of New York decided to es-
tablish a school Of nursing at Bellevue
hospital. Mrs. Joseph Hobson, who
was one of the founders, says in her
book, "Recollections of a Happy Life
"Strange to say, doctors were our
chief antagonists, the doctors of the
Bellevue medical board. Not all OF
them, by any means, but enough to
hamper and hinder and add to our diff
ficulties."
The conservative Doctors were es-
pecially trying. I'VE were ignorant
women interfering with what was
none Of our business . . and
"they were utterly opposed to u In
terference.' A year later the same
board passed a resolution heartily in
dorSiEg the work.
In the same way many Englishmen
opposed Florence Nightingale; and at
the beginning Of the present wal the
offers of service from oma doctors
were not accepted. Now women In
England are being urged to take med
ical training.
Before women take up any piece OF
work which up to that time has been
done, well or badly, by men, they are
required to eNpend q great part OF
their time, energy and money on get
ting permission to try.-Voman's Jour-

and of excellent quality. Horse-rad-
ish grows on almost any kind of soil,
and will stand the dry weather as we'll
as potatoes. In planting horse-radish,
fit the soil the same as for strawber-
ries, and cultivate the same as any
other garden crop.
Many persons plant horse-radish in
some ou~t-of-the-way spot and dig a
piece Of the root as often as needed,
leaving the fragments of roots in the
soil to grow for further use. This
method results in having nothing but
tough, stringy roots, very unlike the
product of a properly planted and we'll
cared for bed. The best roots are those
planted in the spring at the time Of
setting early cabbage, and dug as late

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS
Windmill Plays important Part in
Production Of Food.
Lack Of Timely Rainfall 10 Often
Doom Of Otherwise Carefully Han
died and Tended Patch-Con-
serve Water Pumped.

That. the farm windmill should play
an important part this year In the
great food-production campaign, Is the
belief Of III. b. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"The farm windmill should be no
Stacker this year." said Professor
Walker. ut should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
of timely rainfall is often the doom of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost Of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent a
failure Of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable, some simple method Of IT.
rigation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and well In lifting water for ir-
rigation if given an opportunity, Pro-
fessor Walker pointed out. This faith
full source Of farm power, however, will
not save the garden unless the owner
co-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water internationally and at a slow
rate. Consequently, if the water
pumped is allowed to flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil, a small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. A small
trickling flow does not spread literally
over the surface of the soil, but it per-
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach Of the shallow-rooted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large
| can be secured in q surprisingly short
time to effectively irrigate a much
larger area. A barrel Of water con
tanning BIZ gallons will cover a gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, one inch deep. A quantity of
water ever as small as this, if properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-rooted radishes. It
is advisable, therefore, to use even
an ordinary barrel for storage, if moth
ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days is
much more desirable.

stress had been laid upon the proper
manner of receiving visitors and OF
informing the mistress Of their pres
ence in the house.
Perhaps altogether to much had
been said about it or perhaps Mary
Ellen had stage fright at the crucial
moment, for when the first callers
came after Mary Ellen's advent into
the family she ''ushered' them only
as far as lust inside the hall door.

FRIENDSHIP IS TRUE WEALTH
This Fact MAJ Recognized by Unusual
Legacy Made in Will Of Late
Justice Lamar.

In the will Of the late Justice Lamar
of the United States Supreme court
there was n very unusual legacy. He
b%equeathed his friendships to his fam
lily.
ITO my family" the will runs, Il be-
in the hope that they will be cherished
and continued. True friendships are the
most valuable of u earthly posses
sions, more precious than gold, more
enduring than fame. AS Henry
Drummond has we'll said, Friendship
is the nearest thing we know to what
religion isl"
The family that inherits such wealth
is truly rich, observes a writer in the
Youths Companion. But it is a legacy
that must be used if it would be pre-
served. Friendships cannot be locked
away in safes or lent to historical ex-
hibits and museums. Like love and
faith and courage, they belong to that
intangible treasure Of the soul that
must be kept from destruction by con-
slant service. 1t is not alone material
things that trust doth corrupt"
How many Of us have let slip
through busy or careless fingers the
beautiful and glowing friendships of
our youth? We did not mean to do
it; indeed, we have often regretted
the loss until, as the years pass, the re-
greet gradually fades away. And If n u
is true of our own friends, how far
more true Of our fathers friends! Yet
there have been families where friend
ships have passed down from father to
son for several generations.
There is food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine and
loyal and ~serviceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be-
queath to their sons? How many moth
ers are storing up like treasures for
their daughters? The question does
not end there. How many young peo-
pie of today are fitting themselves to
receive such legacies? How many in
all the varied and urgent calls OF life
are needing the challenge to make
themselves worthy of friendships by
being loyal and fine tempered inc gen.
erous friends themselves?
"A nan that hath friends" the old
book Of wisdom declares, must show
himself friendly" and again, "Thine
own friend and thy fathers friend for
sake not
