WINTER CARE OF VINES.

AT the approach of cold weather the
grape vines are pruned, unfastcncd from
the treliis and laid Hat upon the ground.
They may be held in this position by
SIMPLY placing a stone or other heavy OBJ
Ject upon the end. and this will safely
pass the winter anywhere except mt the
extreme North. Where the winters are
usually very severe the vines should also
be covered with soil, straw or litter of
some sort; and perhaps this NAV be n
good prccau;ion with tender vines every.
where at the extreme North. Tender
raspberries and blackbcrrcs arc to be
treated In similar manner, but the canes
being more brittle and more easily in
Jured than grape vines, need careful
handling and gradual bending while
undergoing the operation. A good prac-
tlce is to throw one or two shovclfuls of
soil against the canes on one side and
bend them over this by sort of curve.
The tops are laid upon the ground near
the next stool of canes and held there by
another one or two shovclfuls of soil
Two persons can do this work very con-
veniently and quickly, and whom growers
learn to depend more on these easy modes
oi giving winter protection than on the
chances OF mild winter, or supposed
hardness of plants, they will have little
reason TO complain of winter kill, or of
placing such an excessively great value

WINTERISG FEES.

A corresT TCndcnt Of the Anlcyic,ta Bee
ouTaal says: have the bees all ready
for winter before the nights &C, so cold
and frosty as to candy the honey in the
hive. We winter our bees in an under
ground cellar, forty feet long, seven feet
high and six feet wide, with 6X7 inch
ventilation near each end; also three
well-iitting doors, which leaves two dead
air spaces between the bees and the cx-
:remely cold weather, with the mercury
often forty degrees below zero in this
aorthern climate. When you put the
Oces into the cellar remove the cover and
entrance blocks, leaving Only the quilt
over the hive. Put two blocks ,2X2
inches, and the length of tn hivc) under
the hive, then put Two more on top, on
which to pat another hive, and So on I'M
til they are five tiers high. One essen
tial thing is a half-inch entrance, full
width of the hive, and left open; by so
doing there will be plenty OF upward
and lower ventilation, and the bees will
not smother or lack in any way for pure air.
The bottom hive should be not less than
ten inches from the bottom Of the cellar,
to allow the foul air, if any, to settle hc
low it and pass Of through the under.
ground drain. which should consist Of
not less than two-inch tilin@. Bees
placed in cellar rs have described,
with temperature ranging from forty
to forty five degrees will winter rs safely
as by any other method, chaT hive not
excepted. The temperature can easily
be regulated by slide in each ycntilator
mot toboggan slide, but sliding
door.

THE BEER DgLUsIoN.

The claim that beer Is a healthy drink Is
the greatest of decisions. It b!oats and
makes fat the dripker while sappiug the
strength Of both body and mind. Even beer
drinkers are fast finding this out. The Mil
waukee Sentinel reports Theodore Roosevelt,
former member of the New York Legislature,
us saying:
do you know" sail Mr.. Roosevelt, hold
ing up his glass and looking through the am.
ber-hued liquid, that there is not thought
IN 4 ho2shea,l Of beer. that there is not an
idea i'm whole brewery ] meau," contn-
ned tho New York politician, that nothing
of merit was ever written under tho inspira-
tion of lager beer. IL stupefies without in
ViSorat,ng, and its effect upon the brain is to
stagnate Thought. Do not imag that am
temperance orator. l am simply comparing
stim,,'antS. Some of the brightest of literary
efforts have heen made while under the nfiu-
ence of spirituons liquor, taken by the poor.
overworEcd author 10 avoid complete
physical and mental collapse ! shall wait to
see If any man can write anything who has
drop of beer in his system"
Bonforrs Wine aud Spirit Circular, which
is good authority in this case, speaking of
Nor of beer, says:
''lf We were getting better beer there
wouldbe room for some toleratiou of this
governmental favoritism; but. unhappily.
the qualify OF American beer Is steadily de
teriorating, and already there are thousands
of well-intorned people who scrupulously re-
fuse to touch it on account of its injurious
effects"
Again it says: "It is notorious that our
brewers seldom drink their own beer or the
product Of any other brewery. At the places
which they frequent and at which they take
their meals, or at public picnics and summer
nights festivals which are attended by brew
crs, it is generally noticed that these men
drink any thing but beer IL beer is healthy,
why do our brewers refuse 10 drink beerf'
The Scientific American says: 1T is our
observation that beer-drinking in this cou,r-
try produces the very lowest kind of inebri-
ETY., closely allied to criminal insanity. The
most dangerous class of ru!iians in our large
cities are beer-drinkers. intellectually, a
stupor amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason. changing all the higher faculties
into a mere animalism, sensual. selfish, slug

begets like, and by little attention tc
this matter improvement can corstautl,
be made.
The preservation OF the cars selectcl
may be insured by braiding the husks o;
several ears together aud suspending their
from the rafters of the corn house or an,
other dry building. BY so doing the
seed corn will be safe from rats aud mice

that might affect its termination. IL
making Choice it is thought, as befor,
stated, that both the car and the stalk
should be taken into consideration, rather
than the mere selection of large ear.
Again, consideration should be giver
to the number of the rows, the length
and compactness Of the kernels, and tn,
general solidity and weight Of the ear
There is some diversity of opinion as tC

tality to withstand cold and damp after il
is planted than if allowed to remain OF
the stalk until dead ripe. A much larger
class, however, favor perfect maturity OF
the seed on the stalk, which is at least
the safest plan, as there would be less
moisture to be cvaporatcd from the cob
Such care as has been indicated would
certainly cuablo the farmer who practses
it to have his seed corn in readiness when
it is wanted, and furthermore would re-
suit in more general termination of
seed and more thrifty plants than from II
less careful selection York World.
