TOMATOES ARE BEST

A thrifty tomato plant left to itself
will spread owe a space from 4 to 6
feet in diameter and will produce a
peck or more of tomatoes. If staked
and pruned it will yield about the
same quantity of fruit, the tomatoes
will be larger, cleaner, better favored.
and superior in every respect. and
cOmmOdate five other plants cared for
In a similar manner, say garden spe-
cialiStS of the United States Depart
of Agriculture. The Staked and
pruned plants are easily sprayed, and
will continue to produce fruit later in
the fall than plants which are allowed
to spread naturally. AS a rule, also,
the pruned tomatoes will mature ear
lier. On the scale on which tomatoes
are grown in the home garden, stalk
ing and pruning require little trouble,
and will fully repay the effort.
When the plants begin making q
vigorous growth, shoots will appear In
the little pockets where each leaf joins
the stem. Later the blossoms appear
on h opposite side of the stem. In
pruning the plant, remove all these
side shoots and those around the base
of the plant, being careful not to dis
turb the blossom clusters. The shoots,
sometimes called suckers, should DO
pinched off shortly after they appear.
The main stem can be carried to the
full height of the stake, then allowed
to hang over. BY this time six or sew
en- blossom clusters. on which the
fruit is developing, should be set on
the stem.

The Art of Art.

The art Of art, the glory Of express
sion and the sunshine of the light Of
letters, is simplicity. Nothing is bet
ter than Simplicity-nothing can make
up for excess, or for the lack of def
i%niteness. To carry on the heave Of
impulse and pierce intellectual depths,
and give all subjects their articula-
lions, are powers neither common nor
very uncommon. But to speak in lit
erature with the perfect rectitude and
inS0uciance of the movements of ami
mails, and the unimpeachableness of
the sentiment of trees in the woods
and grass by the roadside, is the flaw
less triumph of art. If you have
loOk'd on him VINO has achiev'd it
you have lO0k'd on one of the mas
ters of the artists of all nations and
times.-Wait Whitman.

BELLOWS BELONG TO PAST
modern Appliances Have Replaced tho
One-Time indispensable Adjunct
Of Blacksmith Shop.

The bellows. in the form in which
once 1t was familiar in every house.
hold, Is still used in homes where
open fires are maintained, but the
giant bellows that in old times was
as necessary an adjunct of the black
smiths shop as the forge itself is
steadily being supplanted by blowers
Of other sorts.
In a lOng-established New York city
blacksmith shop located on the down.
town waterfront, where once, across
the way, the wharveS were lined with
tall-sparred sailing ships. there was
In those days one Of those big, old
time bellows. When the blacksmith
wanted 10 blow the fire he rested n
hand and forearm on the end Of the
long lever and swayed and swayed
on it gently.
Now from the wharveS across the
way the sailing ships have disap-
peared. and from this old waterfront
blacksmith's shop the old-time bellows
has disappeared too. The anvil is still
there, to be sure, and people halt now
and then just as they have always
done to look in and see the sparks
fly when the blacksmith and his help
er strike on the red-hOt iron; but now
when the blacksmith wants to blow
the fire he doesn't put his arm on a
big bellows lever and sway and sway;
now he simply reaches up and moves
a little switch. That starts a steady
blast, which can be regulated to any
force that may be required.

Animal Comrades

1t is an Old custom with breeders
of thoroughbred horses to have a com
panion for nervous stations and
mares, while nearly every racing sta.
bic has a goat, dog, cat, cock or hen
to allay the tension of a temperament
al flly or highStrung horse.
The habit probably came to US from
England, where the thoroughbred had
his origin. 1t is shown in the old
pictures OF r%acehOrses and racing STA
bles. A goat is considered the best
remedy for stall walking, a nervous
affection which interferes with train
ing operations, and most of the big
stables have one as a part Of their
equipment.

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke of Cumber.
land. Was the Sensation of
His Generation.

That celebrated rae horse. Eclipse.
which died Feb. 2S, 1859. at the rlp
age OF 20 years, received his name on
account Of his being born during an
eclipse of the sun and it became Curl
Ously significant and appropriate when
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke OF
Cumberland, q brother Of George III,
and afterward became the property of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be-
queathed the animal. along with all
MS brood mares and other horses, to
his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was In other ways a source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track whO-was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days 1t was not the custom
to insure the lives Of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his pOpu-
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that a carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was Of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pOunds.-Chicago Journal.

Manager Well Paid.
When the fact is taken into cOnSid.
Grafton that the managers employed
under this system are provided with
houses In which to live and are given
the privilege of raising their home sup
plies of vegetables. milk, poultry and
eggs, 1t will be seen that their neces-
sary expenses are incOnsiderable, and
it must be conceded that they are we'll
paid for their services, in view of the
fact that they have no investment risk.
The length of time which the men re-
main on the farms shows that this
method of employment must have been
satisfactory both to employee and
landlord in these eases. 1t should be
pointed out, however, that the tenant
should have absolute confidence in his
landlord before he would be justified
in working under this system.

WOODLOT LIKE BANK

A wOOdlOt should be treated
as the principal in a savings

wood corresponds to compound
interest. When you cut out more
than the equivalent of the
growth, you are drawing upon

Lines to Be Remembered,

A gentleman puts words into deed,
and sorts what he says TO the deed.
He is broad and fair. The vulgar are
biased and petty. A gentleman con-
siders what is right. The vulgar man
considers what will pay. A gentleman
wishes to be slow to speak and quick
to act. He helps the needy; he does
not swell riches.-COnfucius.

CHEAP SEEDS ARE EXPENSIVE
by Unwisely Trying to Save
on This Item.

Cheap garden seeds are likely to
prove expensive at any price. The
cost Of good seeds is relatively small
and the success of the garden may be
jeOpardized by unwisely trying to save
a few cents on this item.

How Net Income Is Determined.

The managers are given a regular
monthly wage and a bonus consisting
Of One-third of the net farm income.
In determining the net income 5 per
cent interest on the valuation of the
property is first taken out, as due re-
turn for capital. after which all eX
ponSeS are deducted. such as for
thraShing, the managers wage. extra
labor. machinery repairs, depreciation,
and the cost of fertilizers and seeds.
Each Of the two managed farms has
q house for the manager, who also can
use the work horses to drive for per
SOnaI use, has a garden. and Il COW or
two for supplying the family with milk
and butter. Fifty chickens are fur
nished, and the family is permitted to
raise as many as possible to supply the
needs of the farm table, but on Deem
Der l all the chickens above the Origi-
nal number must be sold, and the land
lord gets One-half the receipts. The
of this limit on chickens is
to enable the manager to have his Own
poultry supply WITHOUT taking undue
advantage of his opportunity.
In order to calculate the amount of
money which h manager is to re-
ceive on this plan it is necessary TO do
q certain amount Of bookkeeping. This
is left to the owner, who keeps a set
of farm accounts, and on March l a
complete inventory is taken and q
yearly summary of the farm business
is completed. In cases of disease, poor
crops, or a partial failure which is I'M
avOidable, thus cutting down the in
come of the manager, the owner makes
some allowance and gives the mana
ger, in addition to the wages he has
received, what he thinks is due him
for the work he has done, and the re-
spOnSibiiity he has assumed.
In the period before val imitation
the managers made from SAL to $40
per month the year round, in addition
to having their rent, garden, milk, but
ter and eggs. The manager of the
smaller farm, comprising 90 acres, re-

Tested by Fifteen Years Trial.

The man who made the statement
quoted above was for a number of
years the manager of one of two Ordi-
nary-sized hog farms owned by a man
In Illinois, and the plan under which
he was engaged as farm manager has
been followed by the owner with al
most unfailing success for more than
fifteen years. Briefly, the plan was
nothing more or less than q straight
annual salary which included tenant
house and the usual garden and pOul-
try perQuiSiteS, and. as a bonus, q
share of the net profits.
The profit sharing plan has served to
stimulate the efforts of the employee
and has greatly lessened the supervi-
sion necessary on the part of the
owner. BY the use of the telephone
and occasional visits he is able to keep
In touch with the farm problems and
to cooperate effectively with the man
ager. Since the owner was farming
himself it was important that the man
agement of his other two farms take
as little Of his time as possible. Thus
far the managers have been selected
from the men employed on the home
farm, which serves as a training
