Propagation of Grape Vines.

Practical Farmer.
Many amateurs nave q vine or two, per-
haps of some choice sort. they would like to
get more of, and they Will be glad to know
that the roofing of cuttings is quite an easy
matter. When pruning the vine at any time
when the wood is dormant, preserve the
canes that are cut away. cut them into
lengths of about one foot OF less. The low
er cut is better made just below an eye, and
the upper one should be Just above one. In
the length spoken of there will be two OF
three eyes. Plant six inches deep and still
have three or four inches out of the ground.
Let the ground be we'll manured with de-
cayed material where the cuttings are to
20. as roofing goes on much better then
than when theI ground Is poor. In this
way those unacdualnted with the process
can root some. at least. and where the con-
dltions are favorable nearly every one will
root. Those who ave greenhouse facili-
ties can root cuttings and multiply plants
much faster than by the way described. by
what is called the single-eye system. The
canes are cut TO give about an inch below
the eye ana a half an inch above il. The
single eyes are set in cutting beds or cut
ting boxes or pots Just as cuttings of plants
are. And in like manner Is the treatment.

DIR. TOwNSEND's CHARGES DENIED.
Cincinnati Methods, Diyines Say They Do
Not Mix Politics and Religion.

CINCISNATI. o., April 25.-In the meeting
of the Methodist ministers of Cincinnati
and vicinity to-day q series of resolutions
was offered by DR.. McChesney denouncing
recent addresses before the Boston preach
ers' meeting of the Methodist Episcopal
by ChurchDr. l.. I. Townsend upon The sub
iect of clerical p~olitics. TO make clear the
reason for their introduction. portions of
DR.. Townsend's pamphlet were read. IN
which he charged that many men
of high office in the church
obtained their places by methods beft-
ting a politician of the ordinary stamp and
then printed an anonymous letter attacking
grossly DR.. Moore. of the Advocate. of this
city. and DR.. Cranston. OF the Book Con-
Germ here. as well as Delaware University.
and several Ohio bishops and secretaries.
DR.. Moore denied the anonymous charges
in his case. and said if DIR. Townsend got
too bad" he would bring him up with q
short turn in a court of law. The resOlu-
tons were adopted. also resolutions ex-
pressing full confidence in the men against
whom the l~nsinuations were made.

One-Idea Farming.
Nebraska Farmer.

Nto-6shaf etme
The conditions of to-day demand q GER
tain amount of specialization and the
farmer cannot escape the inevitable.
Special crops with special application of
uncOmmo sense 10 the special highway to
special prosperity. But this one-idea farm
ing may be carried too far. An intense
specialist ia like q general who PUSHES into
battle with one wild charge: if he has not q
strong re-erve to fall back upon the move
is q risky one. Sufficient capital to tide
over O year or two of failure is necessary
when a man starts to specialize. He gener-
ally has many little points to learn. and his
risks are increased with the increase OF
specialization. When q man has once
mastered his profession or bis trade the
risks lessen with the lessened competition.
Every farmer should have one crop or
one breed of animals on which he relies for
his maintenance and of which he makes u
special study. but the army that has three
bases of supplies is In much less danger OF
defeat than an army that has only one.
Specialization with Investigation is the
best method. Then. when the main crop or
the main source of income fails. as it some
times does. the little sources of income will
carry q man through.

reduced it's rate on coal to that charged by
its competitors. The general outlook points
to lower rates. The action of the lake.and-

has precipitated q fight between them and
