TRIMMING GRAPE VISEs.-Grape vines may
DO pruned during any mild weather from the
middle Of November tn the middle of March.
Vines should never be pruned with 4 dull
knife, nor when they are frozen, nor when
there is prospect of sudden change from
mild to extreme cold weather.
On planting a vine,. let but one branch
grow the first season. At the end Of this
season, cut these branches back eight or ten
buds, or to four or five feetin length, build
your trellis, and listen these branches fright
and Left along the lower rail of the trelliS.
The third season let these branches produce
. branch from every alternate bui. and trim
them perpendicularlv TO tht top Of the trellis,
and about the first of September stop them
by pinching them off. The trels is now
filed with good bearing wood, and the next
the fourth. scaSon-the vine will produce
its first crop. After the first crop is taken
from the vine the only pruning necessary to
prepare it for another crop. will be to cut
back the lateral branches, proceeding from
the upright branches to two buds, and when
they start the next spring, but one of these
usually the one nearest the main branch
should be allowed to grow. The next year
that portion oftile old spur extending beyond
the base of the new branch should be cut
off smooth, and the new branch cut back as
far rs to two buds. This same process is to
be continued from year TO year. 1t is well,
however, to provide for an entire removal Of
the fruit bearing branches, as often as once
in every three or four years. This can be
accomplished without losing crop, in The
following manner: Suppose there are six
main upright branches to the vine; two of
these may be removed each year by allow
ing new branch to grow from the base of
each to sufficient length to take their places,
and at the next annual pruning cut old ones
out. In this way the entire vine will be re-
newed in the course Of three years.
