The third year cut off all growth that
has been made to within ten inches Of
the main stem the fourth year cut off
nearly as much as you cut off the third
year but leave a trife more wood each
succeeding year as the vine advances in
age.
The above method is not recommended
for the Muscedine or Southern type OF
grapes, but for those of more Northern
origin, such as are commonly known as
bunch grapes.
The Muscadine type OF grapes, includ-
ing Scuppernongs, etc., do better without
any pruning, aud should be allowed to
retain all the growth they make from
year to year.
FERTILIZING.
Remember that what you want from a
tree the first year is growth, and while a
little bone. meal or compost can be adj
vantageously applied when setting the
trees, that the most Of the fertilizing
should be done after the tree has become
well fixed in the ground and growth com
menced. Nothing will give such quick re-
suits in the way of fertilizing as some OF
the well-tested commercial fertilizers
which are rich in ammonia and phOs-
phoric acid. A pound OF this to the tree,
evenly scattered over the surface OF the
ground for distance of three feet from
the stem Of the tree in every direction,
and raked in well, will soon be recognized
by the tree as being, as an Indian would
say, "Big Medicine" In fact, if all trees
had a sufficient quantity of similar kind
of medicine given them, there would be
comparatively few that would need much
other kind. The first application to
these newly set trees having been made,
say5in March, a second one of about the
saIae amount in July will prove advan-
tageous, and with good cultivation will

species of fruit trees, into a bearing con-
dition by the end of the first season,
after which time fertilizers containing a
large per cent. of potash should be used
in making subsequent applications. All
kinds of trees are greatly benefited by
the use of bone meal, ashes and cotton
seed meal remember, however, that il
cotton seed or cotton seed meal is used,
that it has to undergo a rotting process
in the ground before becoming available
as plant food and that,it should never be
placed in direct contact with the roots.
Well rotted manure and composts are
always good for fruit trees and should
be plowed in shallow and then covered
with mulching.

In 1876 the present magnificent

We're transferred TO it. This is one Of
the finest and best arranged houses
that have ever been constructed for
the use Of wild animals that come
from g warm climate. The general
temperature Of the building can be
maintained at a height suited to the
requirements of the animals. while
the warmth can be increased, if neces.

There is an admirable arrangement

Through the passage behind the dens

The chief difficulty lies in giving a
lion or tiger his first lesson in the use
of the tunnel. At first he fears a trap
or some unknown danger; but when
he has al last quietly stolen out into
the open air, which seems TO provide
a chance of escape, though he may
find his expectation of escaping frus.

him, and he rolls on the ground in
happiness, or stretches himself up
against a tree, on which he cleans and
sharpens his claws. He may some.
times be seen intently staring at some
distant object. He has caught sight
of a deer or an Gland, and his natural
love Of the chase revives, though he
takes little notice of the numerous hu.

One Of the mos terrible tragedies in
modern life was that of an American
poet, who. when a foolish, sensitive
young man, mctand married a middle
aged woman OF great beauty. but UNI
suited to be his wife. not only by her
age, but by the difference between her
tastes and her character and his.
The sequel vas a life for him of
hopeless misery, ending IN a wretched
death.
1t is right that the young men and
women for whom The Companion
aims To be a faithful friend should UNI
derstand the full significance Of such
a story. How many OF them. when
scarcely past childhood, have formed
foolish attachments for unworthy or
unoongenial objects. and are now
wretched because of their fear that
these attachments and their own de-
spair must last a. long as lifei

story about a West Minot farmer who,
TO save a choice barrel Of apples in his
cellar from the depreciation of rats,

after the farmer had set the traps, she
started TO help herself as usual. In

A Wonderful Petrefaction.
Tacoma News.

Tacoma News.
Joseph Sweshenger, who resides
near Stanford, writes to the River
Press particulars of a wonderful dis
covery he recently made III an unfre-
quented mountain near his residence.
The discovery consists of a petrified
man, with all his limbs in a perfect
state OF preservation The body
stands by massive bowlder, of which
it seems to have become a part, and
cannot be removed without consider
able abOr and expense. A tiny stream
of water, flowing from "A spring above,
falls directly upon the head of the
BODY, and, after passing over 1t, loses
itself III the surrounding rock. The
body measures nine feet and six inches
from the crown of the head to the
sOles of the feet, and is well proper
toned the chest and limbs being of
ponderous size. The features are of
a severe Roman type, surmounted by
a broad, high forehead and a luXu
rious growth of hair, which is as firm
as rock itself. A beard reaching to
the waist completes the picture which
inspires feeling Of awe and rever-
ence in the behOlder. Certain hero
glyphics are cut upon the rock, a
true cop Y of which Mr.. Sweshenger
promises to send us. Thus far he
has kept the discovery secret, but
will in due time divulge its locality.
1t will dOu btless attract the savants
of the day, and large sum of money
may be realized from it. 1t is indeed,
a wonderful discovery, indicating as
1t does that the first inhabitants of
this country were giants.
