Rabbits have always been an impor-
tant source of meat in Europe. out
in the United States until recently
few of them were eaten except during
the winter hunting season. Condi-
tons resulting from the great war
have awakened many Americans TO the
economic value of rabbits and more
and more people each year are raising
sufficient in their back yards to supply
the family table. The flesh OF the
young domesticated rabbits is vastly
superior in fiber and flavor to that OF
the wild rabbits. 1t closely resembles
the white meat Of chicken.
A prolific 10-pOund doe can easily
raise in a year 20 young. which at D
months will produce not less than %

LIME REQUIREMENTS OF SOIL
As General Rule Application of Small
Quantity Will 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-
ton Of 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 1t is being raked
and fitted for planting.
1t 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 q means of tightening heavy soils.
However, they have very little fertli-
izer value, the United States depart
ment of agriculture says.

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-Quality Of Fruit 10
Usually Much Better.

Does it pay to prune tomato vines
to single stem and tie them to
stakes or to a 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 it is desired to make the
best use of it. 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 he set on a 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 quantity of fruit
as when they are allowed to spread
upon the ground. at least three times
as many plants can be set on a 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-
low the practice.

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huanu Shan Created a Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
ls Tradition.

More than 800 years ago in the Ming
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhul hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making 1t sacred
mountain. A journey to Picking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted in the 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 uas
CODA. The temple, whose halls It
decked, was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called the Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds Of priests came to
the mountains, and there was a 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.

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

have often wondered, remarks Mr..
w. C. ScuIly 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 q Northumberland instance of a
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 a 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.

Feeding the Rabbit.
American breeders follow no uni
form system of feeding rabbits. Some
feed no green stuff, while others use
all that is available. 1t is usually
wise TO avoid both extremes, but green
feed must be used with more caution
than is necessary with dry. and only
the hest of any kind should be used.
This means particularly that spoiled,
moldy. or dirty feeds are to be avoided
as INJURIOUS to rabbits.
