Card.
To the Editor of the Globe-Republc:
Referring to your article in yesterdays 8
issue in regard TO narrow escape at market
street crossing, wish to state that nothing OF
the kind occurred. There was no wild car or
cars detached from the yard engine as stated.
A farmer was driving over the crossing with
heavy load Of lumber when one of his
horses slipped and fell. No blame can be
attached 70 the yard men as Mr.. Carlas our
tiagmsn and myself were on the crossing
when this occurred. Great injustice is done
us by the appearance OF such articles, as we
use every precaution for the safety of foot
men and teams, and We employ none but
good, sober and trustworthy men.
Respectfully etc,

How to Grow Grapes.
Milwaukee Sentinel. ]

MIR. Kramer recently read a paper before
the Lacrosse Horticultural Society on grape
growing. OF the different ways Of prepar-
ing the ground, he said the best way is
10 make a trench twenty inches deep
and lay the grain on the down-hill sids
~(suppos.ng it 10 be on a slope ] Then put
wood IL old, leaves and small leaves on the
bottom of the dit ch. Begin another similar
trench on the other side, throwing the earth
into the first trench, continuing Ia this man
Der until the ground is all spaded over
alike.
Mark your ground for grape vines in rows
eight feet apart each way. Dig the holes for
the roots in the fall before the ground
freezes, as the soil thrown out will be much
better for the new roots after il has been
frozen and thawed. Make the holes from
fourteen to sixteen in ehes deep sad eighteen
inches across. In setting the roots the fol-
lowing spring, see that mellow, rich soil is
placed next them and packed firmly,
In setting, put one bud just below the sur
face and one bud above. Early planting is
advisable, as 1t insures better growth.
The above is for heavy soil.
For light and sandy soils make holes two
feet square, put In the best top soil on one
side and the lighter soil on the other. Pro-
cure enough heavy muck ta ELL the hole one
foot deep. Leave the hole open uotil spring,
then set the roots rs above taking care to put
the best soil next the plants.
The first and second year cut down TO two
buds, and keep the soil clean. The third
year, il you have two canes, cut one down
to two bud and the other to four, i've or six,
according to the strength of the viue. Also
the third year will be the time to set posts or
build q trellis so support the vines.
The best time to prune is in November and
December. Then select the shoots according
TO the fruit buds
The third year is also the time to trim the
rNa4o Oman fha anil ah0nt tha ufnoa ana
with a sharp knife cut all the roots within
four inches, from the top down, then put
the soil back in it's place.
In cultivating use a four-tined fork instead
of q spade. The spade cuts too many roots,
while the fork goes between the roots and
loosens the soil and cultivate at least oace
every year, and keep down the weeds with

Cutting Fodder sor Sheep.
Live Stock JozrnaLl

Sheep are fond of fine, soft berbage, aud,
as is well known, will pick off the leaves
and fine branches of the best cured clover,
leaving the BODY OF the stock uneaten. And
OF corn-fodder, they never eat more than
the leaves, ~tassels, etc. They will pick oyer
straw, but eat only the chat and fine parts.
But when hay is run through q cutter and
cut very fine, they will eat it quite clean.
Even straw, cut fine, will be mostly eaten by
sheep. In q large experience In cutting fod.
der We hare found the saving In cutting for
sheep even greater than for cattle. When the
fodder is cat it is easy to mix with it ground
feed or grain, and the sheep will then
eat and cat fodder and grain together. in
suIing q remastication of the grain and its
digestion and assimilation. In fastening OF
sheep, cutting the coarse fodder will be
found very advantageous; first, because
much fodder will be saved and the grain bet.
ter utilized; second, because the sheep can
safely be crowded in ~fattening, without dan
ger of disease, when the grain is always eaten
with coarse fodder. When sheep are fed
heavily with grain s'ono. it is not raised and
remasticated, and sometimes Is likely to pro-
dnce fever in the stomach: but when the
grsin is eaten with cut fodder it lies light
and porous in the stomach, and is we'll acted
upon by the gastric juice, which can circu.
late freely through the mass; the food is
then readily digested, and passes through the
system without creating any irritation As
coarse fodder Is raised and remas5'cated. the
grain mixed with it is also raised and re-
masticated. Using short cut coarse fodder
makes 1t most convenient to feed a great
variety of food that sheep are very fond Of
corn, oats, middliDgs, oil-cake, peas, III
marketable beans, barley, etc. We have no
doubt that cutting feed pays tor all our
farm stock, when feeding is carried on upon
q considerable scale. for then the cutting
will be done with ample power, which en-
sbles TWO tons of fodder to be cut per hour,
but with only a few animals it is likely 10
cost more than the gain in fodde

Early Chickens.
Rural New Yorker. !

Rural New lorker.l
Those who raise poultry for home use or
market are already thinking OF the fluffy
balls that are TO be liberated from number
lees eggs as the spring advances. 1t is very
important that such chicks as are intended
for early MARKETING be Matched early, and
given such care as will keep them growing
and vigorous until ready to be killed. When
hens are to be set early, there will be need of
care in gathering the eggs, so that they Will
not get chilled the nests must be watched,
and the eggs brought in as soon as laid, and
kept from chilling until needed. When hens
are set in March, it is well to put only nine
eggs under each. for If q larger number is
used, the hen can not keep them warm. The
nests for setting lens should be placed where
they will be undisturbed; and If in boxes,
earth covered with straw makes a good nest.
The eggs may need sprinkling with tepid
water during the last week Of incubation, as
moistUr re as we'll as warmth is a necessary
factor j i the Matching. When Matched, the
broods can be doubled up, giving all the
chicks from two hens to one
There early broods should have a coop
with g sunny exposure, and, ii possible, in-
closed on the south by glass. and if the nights
are cod the coops should be covered with
old csrpetings or rugs. l have known a
brood go protected to be buried in a deep fall
OF snow and suffer no harm. The first
tw~enty-four hours after the chic e leave
the smell tney are uOurlSDeu Dy the yelK OF
the egg from which they have coma. Al the
end OF this time they should be fed bread
crumbs or cornmesl rubbed up with hard
boiled egg, giving them this for eight or ten
days. They should be fed as often as on &c in
two or three hours; but the feed should not
be left in the coops to sour or to be trsmpled
by the little chickens. Chicks Matched so
early, before the grass starts, will need green
food. Lettuce, oats and grass can be gro wn
IN a box in q sunny window. and cabbage,
sweet apples and onions, chopped, will be
relished by them. The coop will not be
large gh to give them the exercise need
ed, and a small, sunny, sheltered yard will
be necessary. Here they should be provided
with plenty of fine gravel.
As they grow larger give them barley, oats
and bran, mOistened with milk and water,
cracked and whole corn and buckwhest
screenings. At neon they may be fed boiled
rOtatoes. with some meat mixed with them.
From the fret they must have pure cold
water to drink. or il milk can oe given them
instead, theo will grow faster in return for
IL. There IS often q loss before the chickens
leave the dest, caused by the hen ira mping
on them this can be avoided by removing
the chickens as fast as they are Matched, aud
returning them to the hen at night; for il
they are given back by daylight she is al
most certain to dis9wn and persecnte them
TO death. When chickens get chilled and it
is necessary to revive them in warm cover
ings by the fire, the same precaution must bs
followed when they are returned to the hen.
