A Saving In Fuel and Absence Of Dirt by
Their Use.
The La Belle mill some time ago put in
heating furnaces in which gas was used as
g fuel and found them q success. The
Riverside mill has followed suit and put in
four new gas furnaces az BenwOod. The
Belmont is also engaged in tearing down
the old furnaces and they will place these
new gas heating furnaces in their stead. They
viii manufacture their own gas and at the
same time have the furnaces 80 arranged
that should natural gas be struck in the
vicinity, they can throw of their converters
and use the natural article. 1t is claimed
that the gas furnaces effect great saving
in fuel, besides possessing many other ad-
vsntsges, the greatest of which is the al
most entire absence of smoke and dirt.
This would be quite feature to Wheeling
If al Its manufacturers were enabled to use
gas as as fuel instead Of coal.

Waldo +. Brown advises forming
neighborhood farmers clubs, limited to
twelve farmers families, so that with
monthly meeting, each family shall en-
tertain the club once year, which
would certainly not be burdensome. The
suggestion is worth thinking of just
now, when in every town where there
is no organization the farmers should
be astir to form either club or grange
to afford intellectual activity and enter
tainment during the winter.
Never before did Naugatnck Valley,
Conn, witness such an abundance of
fruit as this year, and as far as the apple
crop is concerned, the same may be said
Of every other section of the State.
There is not an orchard where the APP
pies have all been gathered, and they
cannot be given away. Cattle and pigs
have become so surfeitcd with them
chat they will not touch one.
Talking in public--in farmers club
or grange, or in the farmers convention
by intelligent farmers, is means of
@eaching of which they do not do
enough. Unfortunately it often happens
chat when such talking is done by them,
the young boys have not even been ask
ed to be present. Young farmers need
che club and grange more than do their
fathers, yet at many agricultural meet

Pruning Grape Vines.

Grape vines may be rruned as soon
as the leaves have fallen, and any time
thereafter until the sap commences to
flow in spring. Vines set last spring
and which have been trained to single
cane, should be cut back to within about
three buds from the ground. Vines
that have been set two years and have
made good growth, so that the cane is
half an inch or more in diameter, should
be cut back to the lower arm of the
trellis or one and a-half or two feet from
the ground. Vines of bearing age that
have been trained upon the trellis,
should have their branches cut back to
two buds.
But what shall we do with an old
vine that has never been trained, and
whose branches have become tangled
mass? This is a more difficult question
to answer. If the vine has formed many
strong canes all may be removed but
about four, and these cut back to about
four feet in length. The branches
should be thinned out to one foot apart
and those remaining cut back to two
buds. If, however, the vine has form.
ed but two or three canes, and these
reach to considerable extent without
branching, it will perhaps be better to
remove the whole top, leaving only the
largest cane, cutting this off at the low.

Anyone can form pretty correct es
innate of the intellectual, if. not the
moral state of the community, by look
ing over their farms, taking "a stand
point from the house. 1t is not the
commodious, extensive building which
gives proper estimate, because all the
farmers cannot afford and do not require
such. but it is the manner in which
everything is, cared for. 1t is great
mistake to think that money spent in
reasonably improving the appearance of
place is money thrown away. Taste
full, we'll painted buildings, well arrang-
ed yards and gardens, with good fences,
plenty of shade trees along the roadside,
and clearly kept fields, will set farm

The Poultry Yard.
Interesting Facts About Eggs.

Five million dozen of eggs are an
nually imported from the Dominion, the
greater portion from Qnebec and Onta-
rio. The egg import from Europe is
also large, but the hens of the Canadas
are by far the largest factors in this
trade, aud the trade increases every year.
Eggs pay no duty, and when we reflect
that this product comes from millions Of
humble sources-the poultry yards of
small farmers-and that it is only the
surplus that goes to market, we may
well wonder, where and how the billions
of eggs consumed in the United States
are produced. 1t is an interest that
may be rated at many tens of million
dollars. There are egg trains on the
railroads of the northern frontier, and
the cities and villages of New England
draw most Of their eggs from the border,
to which they are brought by the rail-
roads of Canada. The import Of eggs
at Ogdensburg alone, was valued at one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
the last fiscal year. AS many are en-
tered in several other collection dis
tricts at Buffalo, and in two districts
in Maine, nearly three times this traffic
in imported eggs is done.-C. P Dew

Useful Hints.

Fruit Recorder
Tender roses should be banked up
and over with earth and left so till late
in spring.
IF not done before, SOW lettuce and
spinach seed in protected place at
once.
The best time to mulch strawberry
beds is after the ground is we'll frozen
Try the experiment of filing up bar
rels filed with apples with dry sand,
and see how nicely they will come out
in the spring.
Draw in plenty Of leaves from the
woods for stable bedding before snow
falls.
The best way to use coal ashes (npt
wood ashes), is to put it in box or
hoghead and throw on it night slops,
keeping covered from storms. It's as
tonishing how much of the very best
fertilizer can be made in this way
If when brush and stump heaps are
burned a large quantity of swail sod
and earth are thrown on the heap, it
will make one of the most valuable fer
tilzers one can use for fruits of all
kinds.
Be careful to bank up with earth
around trees, and especially newly set
trees, and draw away in the spring. It
protects trees from rabbits and from
being loosened by hard winds.
