Pruning the Grape Vine.

The objects in pruning the vine are
mainly to keep it within reasonable
space and control; to induce a new
growth of healthy and strong bearing
wood and to regulate the quantity
and improve the quality of the fruit.
The best time to do the principal
pruning is in the autumn, as soon as
practicable after the falling of the
leaves, and when the energies of the
vine are dormant. IF the little sum
mer pruning and pincbing that are nee
essary have been properly attended to,
there will be only required in the fall
to cut out the old bearing wood of the
current year and to shorten the new
canes which have been grown for next
years bearing, in order to occupy their
appointed spaces upon the trellis, the
wall, the stake or the arbor, upon which
they are to be trained. And for all
partially tender varieties, and for all
localities subject to excessive cold in
winter, it is better to lay down canes
upon the ground after pruning. Where
the ground is covered with snow during
the severest weather, simply pegging
or fastening the canes upon the surface
is all that is needed; but in Other
places a light covering of leaves Oh
earth is necessary, in addition, for per
feet prot action. 1t is the testimony o.
some old, practical vipeyardists that
vines so treated make healthier and
stronger growth and bear much finer
and more abundant fruit. A very sue
CessfGl grape grower in Southern Obi,
recently declared that vines pruneC
early in autumn, and slightly protected
during the succeeding winter, bore q
per cent. more and better fruit thar
vines that we're left unpruned upon tn,
trellis until spring. All methods o
pruning the vine are based upon IL
fact that the fruit buds for the mex
years bearing are formed upon woo,

grown the present year hence, as
much as practicable of the old and past
bearing wood should be taken out at
the annual pruning.
In my own practice, | prefer what is
called the "annual renewal system"
which allows young vine in its first
fruiting to bear no more than it can
bring to maturity, and at the same time
grow one or more strong, healthy canes
from as near the ground as practicable
for next years bearing. The bearing
wood of the present year is cut away,
and the new wood takes its place. This
practice with slight notifications, is
continued through the life of the vine,
is readily understood and applied, and
a little observation renders it quite sim
pie and easily performed.
A cultivated vine is in an artificial
condition, and all its energies are di-
rected toward the production of the
greatest quantity of fruit within its ii
lotted space; and some vines respond
so readily to this artificial treatment
that they are disposed TO overbear, and
set more fruit than they can mature.
Attempting to grow too much fruit
may so overtax the powers of the vine
that it can neither ripen its fruit 10
mature its wood perfectly for next
years bearing. Vines so treated are
unhealthy and short-lived. 1t is better
however to avoid the evil of overbear-
ing by thinning out the fruit, especially
all the small and imperfect punches,
than by too close pruning, for an abun-
dance of healthy foliage is necessary
for the ripening process.
The summer treatment consists in
thinning out the fruit upon vines dis
posed to overbeaT early pinching off
the ends of fruit bearing shoots two or
three joints beyond the last cluster, and
then removing all superAuous shoots
except what are started from below and
are needed for next years bearing.
This, with an occasional pinching of
the end of too rampant shoot will be
all that is necessary. And when one
has learned 50 to guage the capacities
Of bis vines ne 70 bring each year his
crop Of fruit to perfect maturity, and
at the sume time have suficiency Of
sound wood for next years crop, he has

The Bad Boy in Love.

gentleman was placing vegetables out
in front of the grocery one morning.

groceryman, 81 try to do what is right,

"Then how is it that you put out a
box of great big sweet potatoes, and

pect to get to heaven on such small

silk handkerchief and brushed a speck
of dirt off his nicely BACKED shoes.
The grocery man blushed and said
he did not mean to take any such ad-
vantage of his customers. He said it
must have been a mistake of the boy
that delivers groceries.
"Then you must hire the boy to
make mistakes, for it has been so every
time we have had sweet potatoes for
five years." said the boy. "And about

stripped down to show how nice and
plump it is, aud if we order dozen
