The Best Time for Pruning
1ss Grapes.

1 Il
I have read the various articles
in Tilton's Journal of horticulture
in regard to the pruning Of grape
vines i do not propose to theorize
upon the subject, but to give the
experience Of twenty years for what
1t is worth. At first / supposed
that 1t was improper to trim in the
Spring, when they blcd the worst
the Germans, whom / mostly EN-
ployed, having a prejudice against
it, But sometimes some parts o.
the vineyard were trimmed at this
supposed improper time.
The closest observation I was
able to make discovered no bad re,
suits, and l have never seen that il
made any difference when the vines
were trimmed, from the time the
leaves were ripe in the fall to as late
as the goth Of June. / seldom get
all my vines trimmed before the
first Of June.
Since VIC have had the rot, / have
in some vineyards tried leaving the
three canes tho full length until
August, when, If no rot appeared,
cut of the surplus wood, but II the
rot set in, have left the whole vine,
and got a larger yield than from
vines short pruned. But where
there was little or no rot, the short.
est vines have uniformly borne the
beat crops. I am clearly of the
opinion that the best time to trim
is whenever 1t Is most convenient
after the leaf Is dead in the fall to
the first Of June.
Ihave always root-pruned pretty
severely, ploughing deep close up
to the vine, and cutting the roots
in the first hoeing in the spring in
most Of my vineyards; but I have
also tried the reverse, and must
confess | have not been able tosee
much, II any, difference in the re.
suits. There are now some seven
to eight hundred acres in bearing
here. Some persons think that
Spring trimming is best, but do
not claim that they have any facts
to prove 1t. II is true that some
parts OF vineyards have been trim.
med in the fall, and did not bear as
well as the part trimmed in the
Spring, bntthereverseis also some
times true. 1t Is quite common to
have one part Of a vineyard do bet.

case reversed next year.-Addisoh

The Mode OF Cooking Mon.

In giving the account ofthe cat,
ing Of q French soldier by canni-
balls, the London News says;
"Ifany one Of us looks forward
TO being eaten by cannibals, he
may wish to be informed how he is
likely to be cooked. tits a COM
fort 70 know that the savages who
may deyour him are by no means
devoid OF refinement In culinary
disposition. Some French soldiers
were recently taken prisoners by
the Kanaks, and one Of them was
killed and eaten. His comrades
describe the process. The Kanaks
first decapitate theirvlctim; a mat.
ter Of no small difficulty, consider
ing the bluntness oftheir hatehets,
Ten to fifteen blows are.necessary.
The body Is then hung up to a tree
BY the feet, and the blood allowed
to run out for an hour. Meanwhile
a hole q yard and a half doep and a
yard wideis dug In the ground,
The holo Is lined with stones,
and In the midst OF them a great
iiro 10 built. When the wood Is
burned down a little and glows
with heat, II is covered with more
stones. Tho man is then cleaned
out and divided into pieces about
foot long, the hands and feet be.
ing thrown away as worthless
The pieces ofthe man are put on
the leaves ofa large rose.tree no.
culiar to the tropics. The meat Ia
surrounded with banana, coacoa.
mt, and other plants noted for
their delicious flavor. The
whole Is tied together firmly; the
fire is sthen removed from the pit,
the meat Is placed among tho hot
stones, and thus, carefully covered,
y left to cook for an hour. Wo.

To Cook BEEF STEAE-First
have a hot fire; then, after the cof
fee is made and the water drained
off the potatoes, place the steak,
which has been previously salted
and well pounded, in a spider,
which should be hot enough to
smoke. After quarter of a min
ute, turn 1t, and after, another quar-,
ter OF a minute, turn it again, and
so continue to do until sufficiently
cooked. The hot FIRE and frequent
turnings serve to cook the meat
and keep the juice IN. which is the
desideratum in steak.
