INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
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 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 height
of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned 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 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 as 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from a single plant.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
Supplies Are Needed for Armies Fight
ing for Brotherhood and Peace,
Says Dean Woods.

Every family should have its own
garden this year. ITO do so will be to
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood and
peace" says Dean A. f. Woods of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
ITO hasten the close of the war"
adds Dean Woods, 1--WE must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo-
pie of the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravaganza.
They should make gardens not only in
their back yards, but in their front
yards as well, and on vacant lots.
They should organize garden clubs, in
Guiding women and children, and
grow enough to supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through
the winter. They can do this by in
tensive effort"
Dean Woods urges boys and girls

and all publie-spirited citizens to lead

and of excellent quality. Horse-rad-
ish grows on almost any kind of soil,
and will stand the dry weather as well
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 out-of-the-way spot and dig
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 properly planted and well
cared for bed. The best roots are those
planted in the spring at the time of
setting early cabbage, and dug as late
the same fall as the weather will per-
NIT. 1t becomes therefore, an annual
crop.

His big, red, generous fist described
a large and inconclusive gesture OF

Whitaker: II don't know. Wish

Abrupt inspiration spanked the imag.

to sputter with enthusiasm.

his feet. "A sea trips just the thing.

BIG INCREASE IN NEW GOLD
Uncle Sam Adds ses, 8e1 900 Worth OF
Yellow Metal to His Total Wealth
in One Year.

Uncle Sam added new gold to his
total wealth during 1915 to the amount
Of sos, 1891, 900, which is almost q rec
ord, and a gain of $4,395, 800 over 1914.
If we add to this the gold ore mined,
but not smelted yet, the total passes
$100,0000 00-every penny of it new
wealth.
Says the joint report of geological
survey and the bureau of the mint:
'An increase in the yield of gold is
indicated by the mine returns from
every important gold-mining state,
and a decrease is reported from Wash
ington, while the output of Idaho re-
mains the same.
"The preliminary estimates indicate
an output of 67,4S5, 600 fine ounces of
silver, valued at $34, All 1856. Although
next to the record output of 1914 in
quantity, the value, based on the low
average price of 81 cents per fine ounce
for 1915-the lowest in the history Of
the industry-was considerably below
the values for 1914 and many previous
years, when production was smaller
but prices ruled higher.
Increases in the mine production
of silver were especially notable in
Montana, Utah and Arizona, and were
considerable In Idaho, Alaska, New
Mexico and Texas but large decreases
were reported from Colorado and from
Nevada following similar decreases In
1914"

shoulder. "Hugh," he said, "you're
one of the best. Don't. :"
Whatever he had meant to say, he
left unfinished because of the return
of the page with his Scotch; but he
had said enough to let Whitaker under
stand that he knew about the Carstairs
