Let Us Make Our Own Wool.

How shall sheep husbandry be man
aged so as to supply our home consump-
tion in wool? With one or two eXcep-
Home and Farm, no year during the
one hundred years of our existence as
an independent nation that we have not
imported more than half as much wool,
and the manufactures of wool, than we
have produced. This country is capa-
BILE of producing all the varieties of
wool necessary for every character of
manufacture to supply home consump-
tion in the greatest abundance. The
reason why the home produc tion has not
supplied the home consumption is that
we have permitted the cupidity and
greed of the importer, coupled, to some
extent, with the selfishness Of the home
manufacturer, to flood the country with
wool grown on cheap lands of foreign
countries, prepared for export by cheap
labor. And when it has come to US in
the manufactured state 1t came from
countries where capital is cheaper and
more abundant. To successfully COM
pete with his foreign competitor the
farmer must have land at the same
price, and labor az the same cost. II
the protecting arm Of Government will
not sustain him he will have to abandon
sheep husbandry and wool-growing in the
moro thickly populated districts where
he has the comforts of civilization, and

get land and labor for little money.

Killing Weeds.

Writing from Wisconsin correspon-
dent says that weeds and grass grow
under his sidewalk, and up through the
boards In summer. Under the sidewalk
he has placed coal ashes, and he does
not see what else he can do to stop the
growth of the grass and weeds. The
trouble complained of is great disfg-
urement to walk, and very common
one. Grass will grow there ashes or no
ashes. Our advice is to take up the
walk now and treat the surface under
1t to dose of kerosene oil. 1t is not
likely that the grass and weeds will
grow there next summer, II that is
done. Kerosene is rank poison to vege-
tation, as some have found to their sor-
row when using the kerosene emulsion
in which there was too much kerosene.
1t is good time right here in this con-
nection to again warn those who use
the kerosene emulsion upon trees this
spring to be careful and not have 1t too

GRAPE CULTURE.
Hints About Pruning and General Moth
ods to He Employed.

ods to lie Employed.
Our system Of pruning is particularly
adapted to vines cut off at the ground as a
preventive for grape rot. AS soon as the
shoots from the old stem have made o
growth of about twenty inches, select
two of the strongest canes and pinch or
cut them off at the height of first
wire, then cut off all others close to
the stem. These canes must be left
without their laterals being checked
throughout the whole season, but
all the suckers or shoots from
the stems must be cut off close to the
stalks as often as they appear. This
timely pinching and removing suckers
will force out from the dormant buds
lateral canes which are shorter jointed,
smaller in size, with better developed
buds and producing much finer fruit.
These canes should be tied up in the
vacant space as they grow.
In pruning those for fruiting, select
two of the strongest canes with we'll de-
veloped buds, and cut them four feet
long for a strong full-bearing vine, cut
ting away all Others This length we
would recommend for Concord and all of
that class of equal growth and product
iveness; but for such as Cynthiana, Nor
ton, Herman and Ozak the canes should
be longer, and for Delaware much short
er, say two canes eighteen inches long
These three classes represent all the
varieties we have worth mentioning.
This method of cutting off vines may
be considered loss, and some may hes
itate to adopt it, but they will find it
will pay in extra productiveness, quail
ity of fruit and exemption from rot.
If we were setting a new vineyard of
Concord grapes by the common method
of doing it, we would lay off the ground
in rows six or eight feet apart according
to the location, and then set the vines
in the rows four feet apart and erect a
trellis with two wires, and train every
alternate vine to the lower wire
and the others to the upper wire, with
two canes to vine, each four feet long.
This would fill both when in full bear
ing, and as soon as we discovered rot
would cut down clear into the ground
every alternate vine in the rows, and
train up renewal canes as we have here
in directed to fill the vacant places.
The next season after we would cut
down the other half and treat them in
like manner.
This alternate cutting off the vines
and renewing them we would recon-
mend every second or third year, and
then we would always have good fruit
and no grape rot, and each year full
| crop.-Popular Gardening.

POULTRY POINTS.

IT is a mistake to spread wood ashes
on the floor of the poultry house; plaster
or dry loan mixes better with the drop
pings of fowls, and there is nothing
better for floors than dry and sandy
road dirt. 1t is waste of poultry ma
nure also to mix with horse or cattle
manure.
MANY California fanciers give the
preference to Brown Leyhorns, but you
will find that this is chiefly in the grain
districts on large wheat farms, where
the hens can have q wide range. The
Leghorns are too active to bear confine-
ment we'll, but if given plenty of room
they are most thrifty foragers and pro-
life layers.
THERE is no necessity of buying the
prepared egg foods If you feed your
fowls properly. If you can not supply
them with enough table scraps to give
variety, buy the pressed, ground beef
scraps, which are kept by all dealers in
cattle and poultry supplies. 1t is an ex,
eellent thing to stimulate the hens and
make them lay.
To GET good sopply of eggs, have
young mems OF carly puileos, anu ieeu as
follows: Soft feed in the morning, not
too wet leaves or cut straw or stuff oi
that nature to scratch about in; few
screenings thrown on it about noon, with
handful of corn at night; fresh water
always at their side, some meat, cab
bage, and few other delicacies once q
week, any scrapirgs from the house,
keep your hen house clean, and the re-
suit will follow.-Poultry World.
