ADVISABLE TO PRUNE
AND STAKE TOMATOES
Question Is Asked Every Year BY
Many Gardeners.
Advantages Are That Larger Number
Of Plants Can Be Set on Given
Area-ouaIlty Of Fruit 10
Usually Much Better.

Does 1t pay to prune tomato vines
to single stem and tie them to
stakes or to trellis? This question
is asked every year by thousands of
home gardeners. 1t does pay, accord
ing to United States department of
agriculture specialists, especially If
the space for garden purposes is
limited, and 1t Is desired to make the
best use of 1t. Tomato plants, If left
to themselves, have habit Of spread.
ing all over the garden and Of produc-
ing their fruit right on the ground,
where 1t becomes covered with dirt
every time there is a rain.
Advantages Of pruning and stalking
tomatoes are that larger number
Of plants can be set on given area
than by the ordinary method the fruit
will ripen little earlier on the plants
that are pruned and staked; and the
fruit is held off the ground, is clean,
and easy to gather.
While the individual plants do not
produce so large a quantity Of fruit
as when they are allowed to spread
upon the ground, at least three times
as many plants can be set on given
area, thereby actually increasing the
quantity of tomatoes produced. The
quality Of the fruit is usually better
on the plants that are pruned and
tied to stakes.
Small round poles about four feet
in length, sharpened at one end, make
the most desirable tomato stakes for
the home garden. The best proof that
stalking tomatoes pays is found in the
fact that the best home gardeners fol.

BABooN PUT TO USEFUL TASK
As Shepherds, the Animals Are Said
to Develop Traits That Are p
Almost Human.

have often wondered, remarks Mr..
W. C. Scully in the Atlantic Monthly,
why more balloons are not trained as
shepherds. The creatures invariably
develop an absorbing affection for any
young animals, human or other, that
are placed in their charge, and there
is a well-authenticated instance Of q
baboon taking charge Of motherless
Kafir infant, and guarding it night
and day for more than two years.
The simian foster parent performed
every necessary function except feed
ing the child.
Several balloons have been trained
as shepherds. In case that Mr.. Soul
ly himself observed the baboon had
charge of several hundred sheep. He
became passionately attached to the
members Of the flock, and remained
with them all day long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral in
the evening. His only fault as shep-
herd was the outcome Of extreme So
licitude; If he heard the voices of wild
balloons in the distance at any time
of the day, he would at once collect
the sheep, and with every appearance
Of the liveliest terror hurry them
home.

LIME REQUIREMENTS or SOIL
AS General Rule Application Of Sma9
Quantity VIII Be Beneficial
Ashes Help Some.

There is no certain means by which
the average gardener can determine
the lime requirements of his soil. AS
a general rule, however, the applica-
tion'of a small quantity Of lime will be
beneficial. This should be at the rate
Of from one-half bushel to one bushel
Of air-slaked lime to square rod of
ground. The lime should be applied
after the land has beeen plowed or
spaded and while it is being raked
and fitted for planting.
It should always be borne in mind
that no lime should be put on the land
that is to be planted to Irish potatoes
nor should the lime be applied at the
same time as. commercial fertilizers or
poultry manure, as it has the faculty
of liberating the nitrogen contained
in the fertilizer and causing it to be
lost. in the air.
Unleached wood ashes contain some
lime and considerable potash, but
should not be applied at the same time
as the lime. Coal ashes are beneficial
as a means of Tightening heavy soils.
However, they have very little fertil-
izer value, the United States depart
ment of agriculture says.

Thousands upon thousands Of women

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the

If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head

done on an area by 6 feet. Half
an hour of time day, and some hay.
roadside weeds, and refuse from ORCH
ards, garden, and kitchen, supplement-
ed by small quantity Of grain, cover
the cost Of production. Raising rab-
bit meat for home consumption is a
proposition for turning to account
time, space, and materials which are
ordinarily wasted.
Cost Of Rabbit Raising.
The cost of starting a rabbitry de-
ponds on its size and on the price of
material. One can buy two good does
and buck of breeding age-enough
to supply an average family with all
the rabbit meat it would care to use
for anywhere from $1.50 to $40 each,
Or for total of from $3.50 to $50.
Hutches may vary in cost from a
few cents each, the price Of an empty
dry-goods box, to several dollars, if
expended for dressed lumber to be put
together by carpenter. On a farm
where odds and ends of lumber and
poultry netting usually are available,
and where hay, grain, and milk are
produced in abundance, the money
cost Of starting and carrying on a
small rabbitry is negligible. In any
case the initial cost need not be great.
The daily cost when all feed is pur-
chased is not usually above cent for
a 10 or IL pound rabbit, a recent bull
letin on rabbit raising, published by
the bureau of biological survey Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, states.
Selecting a breed is a matter of
taste, although it may be influenced
more or less by the market that is to
be supplied. For example, the family
table would demand smaller animals
than would the trade of a restaurant
or hotel. 1t is best to begin with only
one breed and to concentrate on devel-
oping that into stock that may be
source Of pride and profit.
One buck and two or three does are
enough to start with. Young animals
Of breeding age are better than older
ones. which will soon be past their

! CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huanu Shan Created q Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
Is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming
dynasty,a Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making 1t sacred
mountain. A journey to Peking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted in an appropriation of large
sums of money for developing this
fairyland of the gods, A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. It
was decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
CODA. The temple whose halls it
decked was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds Of priests came to
the mountains, and there was period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops Of all the important
peaks, and at least one temple was
erected far above the line of perennial
springs.
