Pino nuts are tho fruit of the nut pine.
More than twenty different kinds of pine
nuts aro known. They vary much In size.
Somo aro not much larger than a plump
grain of wheat. The largest, which grow in
boutu America, aro as large ns small pecans.
I'lno nuts are sold In the market ns
plnons, plnolas or plgnolas
The nut pine grows abundantly on .the
western slope of the Rocky mountains.
Thousands of square miles aro covered with
this hardy tree. It flourishes on rocky
heights where there Is almost no soil and
that of the lightest character.
Most of the pine nuts used In this country
are imported from Italy nnd Spain. In tho
fall they can be bought In the shell In
sacks In some markets of western New
Mexico.
The plno nut Is ono of the most highly
concentrated of all foodstuffs A puumt of
pine nuts has a nutritive value of 3000
calories, equal In food vatuo to four pounds
of bcefstcad or two and one-half pounds of
bread.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY RUMPUS
ANOTHER ESCAPE '
By Farmer Smith
f,0me.L,M. l!'.Ilc'1 p,ac'9 " oartli Is a
, ,f ldn'Pnt. B0 you can tmaglno what
an exciting time there was on the farm
whero our old friend Billy Bumpus found
himself when tho belt rang nt about
1 2 o clock
How was nilly Rumpus to know that
thero was a bell on tho end of the rope
he was cntlng? How was ho to know, for
Instance, that the bell would ring if ho ato
part of tho ropo?
At any rate, the bell hornn in i .i
Billy started to eat the rope, nnd from all
sides thero seemed to spring tin mon ,,..
Ing for a fire. Thero was nothing for Billy
to do but hunt for the fire. too. and so he
trotted around, getting ln everybody's way
and once upsetting tho farmer himself, who
was not looking where ho was going.
"Hey, there!" shouted tho farmer in tho
darkness. "Who on earth brought that goat
hero?"
Billy heard him, and thought It was nbout
time Tor him to run. still, thero was a
temptation to stay a while nnd see what
was the matter.
The hired man came and helped the farm
or up. Billy could seo them by tho light
of tho lanterns. "I wish I knew wlm rang
that bell," said tho farmer, rubbing his
knee.
"I wonder If that goat did it," answered
the hired man.
"How on earth could a goat ring that
bell?" asked tho farmer, taking tho lantern
and going oer In the direction of tho bell
post "There's no telling what a goat will do
and what he will not do," replied the hired
man.
"Well, look at that !" said tho farmer. "If
that goat hasn't eaten a bit oft tlio boll
rope !"
The hired man took a look by tho dim
light of the lantern and, euro enough, a
pieco had been nibbled off the rope.
"Where on earth Is that critter?" asked
the farmer, taking the lantern nnd starting
In search of Billy.
Suddenly he pled him and made a grab
for tho goat. Billy was too quick fur him,
howover, and .lodgod tho farmer's hand by
about an Inch. Then he started to run and
tlio farmer after him.
And how they did run! Tho farmer could
hardly seo by thc light of the lantorn. Sut
he went ns hard as ever he could. Uph'll
nnd down they went, until finally Billy
started down a long hill, tho farmer still
after him.
Billy had done this very thing before,
and ho knew how to do it, you may be
sure. He was running for all he was
worth, 'and tho farmer after him, when,
quick as a wink, ho lay down.
On camo the farmer.
In the dim light Billy's pursuer did not
see tho goat ln front of him nnd before
you can say "scat '" tho farmer went head
over heels over Billy's back and landed on
his head.
Tho hired man was Just behind the farm
er. What was there for him to do but
catch his foot on tho farmer's leg nnd
tumblo over him.
By this time Billy had risen to his feet
nnd started eff In tho direction of the barn
where, by this time, ho had established
headquarters.
Carlo was there before him. and when the
dog saw him In tho faint light he asked:
"What have you been up to now?"
"I was eating the rope which was tied to
tho bell, and tho bell rang," answered Billy.
"Why didn't you toll mo there was a bell
on the end of that ropo?"
"You didn't ask mo," replied Carlo.
That was too much for Billy, and ho lay
down to sleep.

CULTURE OP TOMATOHS
When tomatoes are grown commercially
the vines are usually allowed to sprawl out
along the ground, which they do to the
extent of several feet. Many of tho fruits
thus grown nre lost by rotting
If this were the only method of growing
tomatoes they would not bo a good crop for
home gardening because of the room they
occupied. But by tho use ot Intcnslvo
methods tomatoes can be brought Into small
compass to that tliey becomo one of the
heaviest food producers to the Bquaro foot
of ground.
Tho vines must bo trained to climb. In
hot houses, where every foot of space Is
valuable, tomatoes nre always trained on
trellises In the garden thoy can be tied
to three or four foot poles or stakes nnd
In this way other crops can be planted
close to them.
Ono method of trnlnlnc la tn ini. nre ih
sldo branches an they appear to that all the
Plant" vigor will go Into the main stalk,
which is trained to n pole or stake An
other way is not to prune the plant, but to
hold In ench row w ith n fence nbout one
iooi nign on dohi Bides 0r tho row nnd lay
slats across this fonce to supiwrt tho vlneB
Pruned plants can be as clow together as
eighteen Inches, the others about three feet.
Transplanting two or three times
strengthens tomato plants, and for that
reason, and also because the growing sea
son for them Is long, they arc usually
started from seed In pots or boxes Indoors
nnd then sot out after the weather Is warm
and settled.
When setting tomatoes out mako tho holo
gonerous nnd put a little fertilizer at the
noiiom I'incn orr half of each Hpray of
leaves In order to compensate for the shock
to the roots. vhcn using tho staking
method pinch off all but tho most vigorous

Ing development of I'onderosa. Dwarf
Stone nnd Dwarf Champion require little

CULTURH OP EGGPLANT
Kgglant Is usually deemed a too-difficult
vegetable for the nmateur to grow nnd
possibly It Is starting from seed. Growing
from bought plants Is not hazardous If
simple precautions nre obsened.
Inasmuch as It Is not safe to set out egg
plant In tho garden much before June,
nnd because the plant requires a fairly
long growing season, the peeili should bo
sown Indoors, or tn an outdoor hotbed. One
third of an ounco of seed will produce
enough plants to mnke a row 100 feet long.
Seeds nro ordinarily sown thickly In rows In
the seod boxes nnd when the plants are large
enough to handle they aro transplanted to
flower pots or paper pots (Hied with very
rich soli Some gardeners, howover, pro
fer to sow tho seed directly in flower pots
and to thin out the seedlings later.
Unless the seedlings are transplanted to
large pots directly from the seed box,
tho plants grow they should be set In
larger pots Some gardeners make three
transfers before putting the plants Into the
garden, which should not be done until tho
warm weauier la Kciueu unu wio jmuiiis uru
sfx to ten Inches high.
Plants should be set eighteen Inches apart
In the row and rows two feet apart Fruits
may be eaten when they nro threo Inches
or more In diameter. Tying up to a single
stake la sometimes deslrablo for support.
English black beauty. Now York purple
and black Pekln are the commonly grown
varieties. When plants arc bought one usu
ally has to take the kind the nurseryman
has selecteu.
Peppers nro handled much tho same way
as eggplants. They can be set ns near as
ono nnd one-half feet apart In tho row
The soil should be light and porous nnd If
originally clnyoy can bo made flno by ad
mlxturo of sand and well-rotted manure
Staking It Is sometimes deslrablo, as well
as thinning out about one-quartor of the

Truly, the kitchen is the workshop of the house; and in these days of
grossly distorted values, the thrifty housewife must deal conclusively with
the practical side of dollars and sense. Ten hundred and ninety-five meals to
provide ; and each one should count for health and comfort and home happi
ness. Did you ever think of it in just that way?
Conditions are such that housekeeping with a large bank account calls for
business ability ; but housekeeping with the average, limited purse is a positive
science. THE AMERICAN STORES stand out in distinctive helpfulness just
at this point, and show you the uselessness and wastefulness of careless
spending. A nickel here and a penny there and the grocery end of those ten
hundred and ninety-five meals will register a very substantial saving.
You can't buy "cheap" goods at any of THE AMERICAN STORES, for
QUALITY is the ideal of the whole business. We won't sell anything that
we can't guarantee, and we can't guarantee anything that we don't know all
about. There's comfortable and practical assurance in dealing with us; and
