We would advise all market gardeners to give this system a trial this year. W. T. MACOUN, ' l Horticulturist C. E. F. ' An experiment with a certain method ‘ of pruning tomatoes was tried this year ‘ wit gratifying results. When the plants in the hot-beds had six strong leaves developed, which was on May 23rd, the tops were nipped of and the plants given more room, being placed 5% inches apart in the frame. The object of pinching" off the top of the plant was to cause new shoots to develop at the axils of the leaves in order to have six branches bear- _ ing early tomatoes instead of the one cluster usually found on the top of iii) plant. These were planted out on June 6th, alongside other plants unpruned. On June 22nd, half of the pruned plants were again pruned, all laterals being taken out and the six main branches only being left, the other plants were left to grow at will, and it was found that they produced the most ripe fruit, though not the largest early crop. This system of pruning is very promising. The further advanced the auxiliary shoots are when the plants are set our the larger the early crop is likely to be. ‘In the experiment this year the plants were not started nearly early enough to get the best results. While the first fruit was ripe on the unpruned, Sparks' Earliana, on July 29th, there was very little ripe on that date. The experiment was suggested by Mr. J. S. Littooy, Ev. erett, Washington Territory, who has ‘ been pruning tomatoes in this way for ‘ some time in XVashington with gratify- ing results, where they have diftieiirty i in ripening tomatoes. _ If you need a. medicine this trprm7,--- 'and who would not be the better of n tonic after the long dreary m-door m?nths-give Dry Williams" Pink Pills a trial.

"I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a tonic and blood purifier and have found them su- perior to all other medieines." it I Many People Weaken Their System by the Use of Pun-nave Medicines. Ask any doctor and he will tell you that the use of purgative medicines weakens the system, and cannot pos- sibly cure disease. Thousands of peo- ple take purgative medicines in the spring, and make a most serious mis- take in doing so. People who feel tired and depressed, who find the appetite variable, who have occasional neadaches, and backaches, or whose blood shows im. purities through pimples and eruptions, needs a spring medicine. But they should not dose themselves with harsh gr!ping, purgatives that gallop through the bow- l els, tearing the tissues and weakening the system. A tonic medicine is what is needed in the spring, and Dr. Wil. liams' Pink Pills is the best tonic that science has yet discovered. They are quietly absorbed into the system till. ing the veins with pure rich red blood, that carries health and strength to ev- ery part of the body.

Sometimes a farm contains a consider- able amount of comparatively tough land or fields which lie " a long distance from the buildings, and the owner is anxious to use a mixture of grasses and clovers which will make a permanent pasture. From twenty years' results in testing different varieties of grasses and cloveri, both singly and in combination, we would suggest the following mixture for permanent pasture on an average soil: Orchard grass, 4 lbs.; meadow tes. cue, 4 lbs.; tall oat grass, 3 lbs.; tim. ‘othy, 2 lbs.; meadow foxtail, 2 lbs.; Lu. 'eerne, g lbs.; alsike clover, 2 lbs.; and white clover, 2 lbt, thus making a tots” of 24 pounds of seed per acre. Some of these varieties produce grass very early in the spring, while others are later and furnish a good bite during the hot, dry weather which occurs frequently in the months of July and August. The seed can be sown in early spring, either with or without a grain crop. Such a mixture as this, when once well established on suitable land, should form a pasture abundant in growth. excellent in quality, and permanent in character. can sow in the spring of the year that will furnish the best pasture in the same seuon. In each of four years we con- ducted an experiment in testing fourteen different kinds of crops for the produc- tion of pasture in the same season in which the seed was sown. As a result of these experiments we find that we can get better returns from a combination of varieties than from any one variety sown I by itself. The following mixture) when sown in the spring, is likely to be ready for use at about six weeks after the seed is sown and to give good satisfac- tion in furnishing pasture throughout the summer: Oats,one and one-half bush- els; early amber sugar cane, 30 pounds, and common red clover. seven pounds; thus making a total of 88 pounds of seed per acre. dry weather of the summer, or the heav- ing of the clover in the early spring, the pasture crop is likely to be deficient in the coming season, end asking what they (By Prof. C.
