In this, the foundation for all grape
growing. says an authority, the vine
yardist must also look to the condition
in which he finds the soil. Should it
be free of stones. stumps and other
distractions, the plow and sub-soil
will be all sufficient.
Should your soil be new, perhaps a
piece of wild forest land, have it care
fully grubbed and every tree and
stump taken out by the roots. After
the ground is cleared, take a large
breaking pillow, with three yoke Of
sturdy oxen, and plow as deep as you
can, say twelve to fourteen inches.
Now follow in the same furrow with
an instrument we call here a sub-soil
stirrer. which is simply plcw-share
Of wedge shape, running in the bottom
of a furrow, and strong coulter run
ming up from it through the beam of
the pillow, sharp in front, to cut the
roots; the depth of the furrow is regu-
lated by movable wheel running in
front. which can be set by screw.
With two yoke of oxen this will loos-
en- to the depth of, say twenty inches.
which is sufficient, unless the sub-soil
is very tenacious. In land already
cultivated. where there are no roots
to obstruct, two yoke Of oxen, or four
horses attached to the pIow, and one
yoke of oxen or a pair of horses or
mules to the sub-soiI pillow will be suf-
fcient In stony soil, the pick
and shovel must take the place of
the plow, Is it would be impossible
to work it thoroughly with the latter;
but think there is no advantage in
the common method OF tFenching or
inverting the soil, as is now practiced
to very great extent. IF we examine
the growth of our native vines, we
will generally find their roots extend
ing along the surface Of the soil. 1t
is unnatural to suppose that the grape,
the most sun-loving of all our plants,
shoald be buried with its roots several
feet below the service Of the soil. far
beyond the reach of sun and air.
Therefore, if you can afford it, work
the soil deep and thoroughly; it will
be labor well invested; it il the best
preventive against drought, and also
the best drainage in wet weather: but

a Duel in the Dark.

A terrible shooting affray occurred over a
game of cards at Coles Greek Columbia
county, Pa, the 30th. Charles Davis,
Charles Mills, james Roger and Henry
Williams were playing poker Gradually tho
amount grew larger, and at last reached $500
a side Davis and Mills were playing against
Williams and RoyneI. At the conclusion of the
game Williams reached for the stakes, but Roy
ner claimed he had seen Davis cheat, and a
scramble was made for the money. Rovolvers
were drawn and the bar-room was emptied Of
the small crowd of spectators which had wit
messed the game. A promiscuous firing fol-
lowed, in which tho lights were extinguished
The firing lasted several minutes and the crowd
outside waited with bated breath for it to cease
Finally there was silence inside. The crowd
surged in and found all four lying on the floor
apparently dead. Davis and Mills each had
four bullet holes in their bodies. Roger and
Williams were covered with blood and uncon-
scious. It was found that Roger was shot twice
in the right leg and once in the thigh. His skull
bears the appearance Of being fractured Will
Hams received three bullet wounds in his body
and is undoubtedly fatally wounded Mills ana
Davis died Monday The widest excitement
exists. All kinds Of rnmors were atloat, and
the death of Roger and Williams was announced,
but afterward denied. The last accounts are
to the effect that Roger and Williams will re-
cover, although badly injured. All four were
considered highly respected citizens, and tho
fact of their being shot Sunday night in gam
bling quarrel has shown how strong the gaming
fever ragged. Rogers wife is reported to have
lost her reason over the sad affair.
