REPLANTING GRAPEs.-A plan to
replace missing vinesin the vlne'
yard is thus given by an expert
enced grape culturisi !: Dig a trench
a loot deep, lay the vine in il and
bring it up with a short bend al
The place where il is desired TO
have the new vine, and fill the
trench with good rich SOIL. let
only one cane grow, and this may
in turn be land down in the same
way, if the other one did not reach
to the required spot. Three or
four vacant spaces may be iilled
by this method. This will make
an extra good vine because the
cane is rooted The whole length OF
The trench, and the vine can Dc
brought into bearing much quicker
than 10 set out a new one. VINE
yards may be renewed in this way
and in two years they will bear az
we'll as a new lot of vines three OF
four years old. Ii might be a good
plan to renew the vines every lev
years, as no time VIII he lost ln
bearing. Concords might need IL
every five or six years, but son,e
other varieties not rs often.-hF

But Did Vet Lose Ills Soul.

In 1925 a fearful change hao
come. The glory al old America
the home IT freedom aud prCsperi
Twas departed. A pail of wan;
and misery, like a saunt night
mare, weighed heavily on the peo-
pie.
1t was no longer the Land Of the
Free and Home of The Brave"
1t was now the Land of The Trust
Robber and the Home OF the
Slave.
Not a small work shop or retail
business was anywhere to be seen.
Every industrial plant, and all
commerce were under The control
of huge trust corporations, whose
millionaire syndicate owned the
nations wealth. while the mass of
producers we're stepped 10 the lips
In poverty.
The ersl while strength Of The ma
ton, the great middle class, was
wiped out, and the small indepen-
dent farmer. owner OF his home
stead. trampled by usury Oul of
existence.
The land in great measure had
passed INTO The hands of alieHS.and
low grade tenants worked tor a
pitiance at their demand. Ram
pant landloT,lism had come. and
his robber tnllgate was resting like
a mildew over all.
The great plain people having
been swallowed mp by the money
syndicate, the big millionaire : like
hungry rats in a cage. turned their
rapaclnus greed 10 devouriag the
smaller ones.
Big trusts were formed 10 eat
up the smaller ones, and soon the
ring of p~lutocrats was very small
indeed.
The Millionaire had come. No
lesser amount could get within his
octopus reach.
Finally there were but three Of
them left. with their toady satraIs
and pale observation-disclosures,
and the courts, fashionable church
ministers, and parry newspaper
liars, Pinkerlon thugs, and Cat :
ling gun butchers. ;
