nIRnLINe -GRAPEv1NEs.

Nearly one hundred and fifty years
ago, one, Colonel Buchstt, of Metz, in
France, was experimenting in girdling
or removing a narrow ring of bark from
the bearing canes of grapeviRes for the
purpose of its influence on the fruit. BY
removing a ring Of bark a half inch in
width the downward or return flow of
sap, after it has been assimilated by the
leaves, is checked at the point of bark
denuded wood. Bucbatt claimed that
his invention or discovery would be Of
value in fastening the maturity of the
fruit as well as improve its quality, but
the latter claim has rarely been admitted
by vineyardists in this country or Europe.
This girdling or ANGULAR i%ncision of the
vine haze been practiced to a limited eX-
tent in this country but far more eX-
tensively in France, and by men who
sought to determine ITS true value in the
production of grapes for wine-mskiug
and other purposes. After these many
years of waiting we are informed through
a recent issue of the BeUue Horticole that
the subject of so much controversy is
now finally settled and its advantages
are summarized as follows: a.. 1t pre-
vents the dropping of of the fruit. ~.
It increases the fertility of the vine,
the size of the berries and punches. (3).
1t increases the quantity of the juice in
the fruit, and for wine making purposes
it adds to the sacchsrine properties of
the must or wort aud improves the
quality Of the wine. az. 1t aus the
fruit to ripen earlier and thus changes
second early varieties to the early class.
(5). 1t causes the fruit to set earlier and
better, especially on those varieties
which are often unproductive through
excess of growth.
While we doubt if American cult
vators of the grape have found that
girdling improves the quality of the
fruit, it certainly increases the size of
the berries and bunch, and hastens ma
turity at least two or three week.

LAW AND TIE LIQUOR TRAFFIC..

The Pittshurg Christian Advocate, CON-
menting upon the legalization' OF the liquor
traffic, says:
We have made laws to authorize base men,
IL they pay twenty-five dollars n year in SOM
States, and a thousand dollars a year in
Others, to set up in all towns and cities their
vice producing, drunkard making establish
ments! And so we do what a heather Chi
nese Emperor refused to dove run our
municipal governments and our State and
national governments largely by the great
revenues which are collected from the vices
and crimes of our people. And now we have
millions on millions Of money invested in
wineries, distilleries and breweries, and in
wholesale and retail liquor houses, and mill
ions on millions in the immense stocks of
liquors. IL has come TO be a gigantic busi-
ness. II Is strong and mighty. IL has been
established by legislation. IL cannot be de-
stroyedNyithout legislation, We nave per-
mitted it by law, we must prohibit it by
law. II exists in village and town, in city
and State and nation, by the sanctions Of
law and the protection OF the Government.
IL stands to reason that, in order to abolish
il, we must take away the shield OF law and
the protection of the Government everywhere,
and enact prohibition laws and Constitu-
tional amendments.
Men make the laws which legalIze tho
liquor traffic; only q minority of such men,
and of those who elect them to be legislators,
are total abstainers. TO change these liquor
selling laws, the men who authorize them
must somehow he reached and converted.
How shall it be Unconstitutional Advocate.

HABITS.

There are a great many men who are
overworked and underfed,p said a physician;
'they think they are too busy to eat lunch
Mt midday, and resort to stimulants as a sub
stitute for food. 1t only takes a minute to
step into a barroom aud take a drink. This
makes them feel better for the time. but the
effect soon passes away and another is taken
to get rid. of the empty feeling. The habit
grows until it takes eight, ten, or more
drinks a day to keep them going. Alcoholic
stimulauts are the worst thing in the world
for an empty stomach, finally causing catarrh
of the stomach, interfering with the secre-
to assimilate food. When a man comes to
me in this condition the first thing ! do is to
cut off his whisky on whatever form of stimu-
liant he is addicted to, and substitute food
for it. ] can't substitute solid food, because
his stomach won't retain it. ] must get him
to take something that will. This is where
hot milk and vichy comes in. Cold milk is
too harsh. 1t shocks his weakened stomach.

own patients, fast growing prematurely old
and bringing upon themselves a multitude

lants instead Of the nutritious food which
they should take, have been reclaimed by the
use of hot milk and yichy. If you find you

OR SEED.

Potatoes to be used for seed require no
special preparation. They should, of
course, be sound and in a dormant con-
dition when taken out for planting, and
the usual practice L. to cut the tubers
into about four picces-that is quartered
but some growers divide them even
more, leaving not exceeding two or three
eyes on each piece, dropping three or
four pieces in each bill, or, if cultivated
in rows, drop a piece every twelve to fiji
teen inches in the row. Busting the
freshly cut tubcrs with hard wood ashes
or rolling them in plaster will usually
prove beneficial, as it prevents the attacks
of wireworms and adds something in the
way of nourishment to the young plants.

SWEET PEAS.

We are all admirers of this sweet
scented annual, writes Gypsy in Farm
and Fireside, but many seem to fail in
cultivating it. Prepare the ground
carly, even in March, if there comes a
warm spell so that the frost may be out
of the ground. Plant the seed quite
thick and about an inch in depth. The
soil does not need to be so very rich
lust good, common garden dirt, en-
richcd with Il small amount of thorough
~ly-rotted manure. Right here is a point
] wish amateur flower growers would
note and heed. Manure must be old
enough 10 be thoroughly rotted to give
most satisfactory results.
The peas should be furnished with
support as soon as they are two or three
inches high. Wire netting is excellent.
II the vines once get tangled on the
ground it is difficult TO straighten them.
They grow slowly at first, and you will
think they are not going to amount to
anything, and that they were started too
early. Have patience. Keep down the
weeds and give them ''rope.' BY and
by your care will be rewarded, and
thousands of blossoms nod you a happy
good-morniug. Do not allow seed-pods
to form if you wish the bloom to be con
tinuous. It is a good plan to plant a
few for seed by themselves in some cor.

REMEDY FOR THE DonERs.

A cultivator in Southern Missouri
succeeded in repelling the borer from
his young orchard trees by the following
remedy; He found that when lime and
ashes were applied around the trees, if
they were not already too badly injured,
they healed over and the borer left them.
To exclude the borers from other trees,
a wash was made of soft soap, ashes, lime
and coal oil, and applied four times in
the year, or twice in spring and twice in
autumn. This remedy appears to have
been effectual, for not a tree has been
lost since using it. Caution is, of course,
necessary, for sharp, fresh wood ashes,
and a large amount of coal oil, may each
be too severe a remedy for young trees
with tender bark, and especially if APP
piled to young peach trees for the grub.
In addition to the borer, the remedy
was found to be efficient for excluding
rabbits.-Meo York Observer,

INrEMprRANcr AMONG

Archdeacon Watkins ct the convention
of the British Women's Temperance Asso-
citation lately held in Sunderland, England,
deploring the fact of the spread of the evil
OF intemperance among women, even the So
called higher and middle classes, repeats the
statement, that no small part OF the evil,
at least in certain classes OF English society,
is to be traced TO grocers' licenses Lady
Henry Somerset spoke strong words of en-
couragement to all temperance workers.
She said that hope beat high in their hearts;
there were better times coming when the
tide had set in which would sweep before it
all that had so long been an obstacle. The
year had been a memorable one. For the
very first time those who knew nothing of
the forces that were gathered around tho
cause, were obliged to recognize the invinci
BILE power of the few; for in all great moral
questions it was not maiorities that were CO.
ing to prevail, but the men of conviction
against the men Of theory. She hoped TO
see the time when women would vote aside by
side with men, for then they should have II
true sentiment on great social questions. IL
had been found that during three hours on
one Sunday night in london Sc, 00S human
beings-4S, sos mec. 80, 1Sl women and 70l9

was the case with 200, how many in the same

disgraced the metropolis!
