why DO the Grapes Not Bear?


Notwithstanding all that has been
written in our horticultural journals
respecting the care and management OF
grape vines, many people seem totally
in the dark still concerning the secret
of their fruitfulness. You may not
have consciously neglected your vines.
You may have carefully uursed them
and trained the luxuriance of your
tender care over an expensive arbor.
But have neglected the one thing need
full, that is to trim. Grapes do not
bear on the old wood, but on the
young shoots. Remember this, and
next year just before the buds begin
to swell in the spring, get up
on your arbor,. cut out all weak
shoots. train back the long branches
of the last years growth to few eyes
or buds-say from three to six-leaving
long such branches as are necessary to
preserve the symmetry OF the vine. II
getting the vine in shape is an object,
it is we'll to remember that those buds
on shoot cut back start first which
are nearest the end OF the shoot Thus
made ready. when the summer comes
the vine with its strength concentrated
in a lessened number OF buds will push
out luxuriant shoots. and having more
strength and nourishment than is re-
quired for growth will utilize it In
transforming some of the tendrils OPP
posite the leaves at the base of the
young shoots into lunches of grapes.

Pests of the Poultry House.


1t is easier 10 shut out cats and dogs
from winter chickens than from those
in summer coops but they are always
to be feared in brooding houses. The
writer's experience makes her dread
rats as powerful foes. countless, cruel,
and endlessly greedy. If there is q
Satan in the world OF poultry, he
surely must take the form of Bishop
Hatto's executioners. Of course they
can be defeated, but it is difficult to
guard against enemies which are such
engineers at saving and tunneling
They are responsible for many crimes
charged TO minks, often killing half
grown pullets when hungrier than
usual. Once on moving to farm with
old outbuildings, fifty baby chicks were
taken by rats before they could be pro-
tected, and then after the brooding
house was occupied, cats, regarded as
allies, got in at the windows and kille ed
twenty more.
Fine wire netting is a safeguard
against rats, which after all are not
really reasoning beings. 1t bewilders
them by its transparency and tough
ness. A width of it fastened over the
angle where wall and floor join is a
great protection, because that is where
they are most apt to gnaw, but put not
too much trust in this defense, for
their wicked, bright eyes may appear
in the middle of the floor. Brick
foundations. help in keeping them out
OF buildings, but the cost is often too
great The creatures NAV easily he
poisoned in their holes, but if they die
in unreachable places the odor they
make poisons the wee chickens. Well
trained cats are capital guardians of
brooding houses, but must themselves
be watched lest they yield to a sudden
temptation. Agriculturist.

MATTERS ABOUT THE FARM.
The Butter Extractor "A New Discovery
for Dairy Men.
Something About Pests Of the Poultry
House Why Do the Grapes Not Bear
Abundantly Several Good Things to Know
--stick to Thoroughbred Animals
The Buttor Extractor.

A dairyman of Stockholm, Sweden,
has invented and patented butter ex-
tractor, the object OF which, the in
inventor says, sis to separate, collect
and remove the butter from fresh milk,
leaving fresh skinned milk or blue
milk, and not buttermilk, as is obtain
ed as a residue by the ordinary pro-
cess OF churning.
Fresh milk just drawn from the
COW, as is well known, consists of blue
milk and butter fat the latter being
distributed through the new milk uni
formly in the form of exceeding min
ute glohules, the compound forming n
sort of emulsion.
"By my method | extract from the
fresh milk in continuous manner
substantially the whole of the butter
fat leaving as a residue fresh, skim
med milk, without any perceptible
Tactic fermentation"
The Farm and Fireside, publishing
in full the article and cuts from which
we make the above extracts, COM
ments as follows.
II tIL VIC lSpOIu CtiC ltut,
the butter extractor described and
illustrated on another page of this
issue is certainly one of the greatest
inventions ever made in the art of
butter making. By a comparatively
simple addition and Improvement, the
centrifugal cream separator is turned
into u machine that completes the pro-
cess of separation and takes the butter
from the cream. Fresh, sweet milk,
at a temperature of 81 degrees. runs
into the machine, and the butter
comes forth ready for sailing and
packing for market, the whole oper-
alton lasting but few minutes. This
means a complete revolution in our
most improved dairy methods.
Consider the simplicity and direct
ness characteristics of all great in
ventions) of the new method, the time,
care and labor saved, and the milk
handling and churning apparatus that
will be done away with. Milk, cream
and butter are very perishable articles,
and every hour they are kept adds to
the risk of loss, and the dairyman has
very much to gain by being able TO
place pure, fresh butter on the market
within few hours after the milk from
which it is made is drawn from the
cows. So far as we are able to learn,
tests made in this country establish
the claims made by the Swedish in
ventor, and the butter extractor is
success"
The Farm and Fireside is excellent
authority on such matters as the above,
and it is not apt TO be carried away by
extravagant reports of new inventions.
