In training the vines for this trellis
a single cane is" grown the first season
which is cut back pretty lowin autumn.
The second year two canes are trained
up. each of which is cut back in the tall
to two buds. The third year, four canes
are grown, and If the vine has done
we'll these are allowed to bear two
punches each.
In the autumn of the third year these
canes are cut back to not to exceed two
feet in length, and serve as bed canes
for the next year. At the close of this
season these are cut back to the cane
nearest the fork of the trunk, which
cut off at two feet long serves as tho
bed cane for the next year. The length
of the bed canes is of course regulated
by the strength of the vine, but it does
not exceed two feet. The growth of
spurs near the forks of the trunk is en-
couraged to develop future bud canes.
If the vines are planted eight feet
apart both ways, and the arms of the
trellis extended diagonally, as shown

Tho Steel Ago.

In the history of the world, various peri
DDS have been designated az the Golden
Age, the Silver A 9, the Bronze Age the
long time ago, the age of the early poets,
tho age in which man lived in true pastoral
simplicity, the age of demi-gods and heroes.
The Bronze Age was the age when man
made his implements of husbandry and his
weapons for the chase from bronze. The
Iron Age embraces the portion of time
when that most useful of all metals came
into use--and caused a revolution in the
mechanic arts. The present. day may be
ftly characterized as the Age Of Steel, it
having largely supplanted iron in q thous-
and ways. Our civilization would be i'm
possible without it-for our railroads would
not exist without steel. ''The Burlington

What the Freedom of London Is and
How 1t Is Conferred.
In Great Britain the presentation of
the freedom of the city of London to a
person of distinction is always an in
teresting and important ceremony. The
corporation decides to confer the
freedom;of the city upon some eminent
parsonage. The parchment is small
slip, upon which arc written the name
and titles of the person it is to be given
to, and it guarantees to the holder and
his descendants forever the right
to live and trade in the city pre-
scribed by st. Clements in the
west, Bishopgate in the east, Pen.

of the Thames in the south with

clerks book, and this official and the
chamberlain then sign their names be-
meath, becoming guarantors for his acts
as a, free citizen. After some other less
important ceremonies the recipient is
