all growth from the roots must be

oldest annual cane from the roots
must be removed. This completes
the system of long cane renewal
which is we'll adapted to Concords
and other strong growing varieties.
This system admits of modification
and may be extended to four years,
the main point to be attended to
being the production of a new cane
from the roots every year as its
growth and succession tends to the
formation of strong shoots and the
prevention of mildew. Grapes vary
in color-they are black, red and
white. While large black grapes are
most in demand it is well to have
some red and white ones and better
still to have some early and late varie-
ties of each. The following is a good
list, ripening in the order in which
they are named: Black-Moore's

should remain on their vines until
they are ripe which is the case when
the stem commences to turn brown
where it joins the branch. Light
frosts injure partially ripened fruit
but when fully matured a freeze is
required to harm it. Not to iniure
the fruit it is best to cut off the
stems of its branches. They can
then be placed on trays or put into
baskets. The grape may be kept
fresh for a considerable time. A
cool, moist atmosphere and a tenn
perature of thirty-five degrees is the
best preserver. Generally at the re-
CURED time this can be obtained
only by the use of ice.

Aatt-Option Bill.
Correspondence OF the Ledger

Correspondence of the Ledger.
JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, February
I2.-As soon as the House met this
morning it proceeded to right itself
in regard to Senator Vest. Davis, of
Henry county, introduced a resolu-
ton. Coots, OF Platte county, offer
ed the following substitute, which
was adopted by a vote of 90 to Al:
Resolued, That wnile some of the
members of the House may not agree
with the Hon. G. G.. Vest in the pub
licly expressed views upon certain
measures now pending in Congress,
yet we desire to express our full con-
fidence in his ability and integrity
and patriotism, and we shall ever
point with feelings of pride and graft
tude to his matchless leadership in
the battles of the people against
force bills, and all other measures in
troduced in Congress during the past
eighteen years, which had for their
main purposes the direct subversion
of the rights OF states and the liberty
of the people.
The Democrats are feeling better
now after having voted the above to
a man.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Boisseau, of Dade, a Re-
publican:
WHEREAS, Our Senator's in Con-
gress are both versed in law, and
whereas, one voted for the anti-option
bill because it was a good law and
constitutional and the other voted
against it because it was unconstltu-
tional and a bad law; now, there
fore be it
Resolved, That we commend these
great statesmen for their proud knowl
edge of constitutional law.
RESOLVED, further, that the MAORI
ty of this House is ready to blow hot
or cold, just as the occasion may re-
quire.
The committee on criminal juris,
prudence reported favorably on the
bill prohibiting dealers to sell tobac-
co to boys under eighteen years OF
age.
The committee on Judiciary re-
ported favorable on Patrick's bill to-
day. The bill is in relation to mort
cages and deeds of trust and provides
that when a mortgage is foreclosed
on 30 days notice the man sold out
may redeem in one year and also
the sale must satisfy the debt and
the mortgage cannot get Judgment
for balance.
All interest in the Senate centers
in the fellow servant BILL The COM
mittee was to have reported last night
but did not, and thereby hangs a
tale, but the Senator that informed
your correspondent wasn't willing
to have the thing published, but it
smacks of a scandal.

All are comfortably clothed, housed

hogs have been fattened and killed.
All the potatoes and small vegetables
needed for the winter we're raised in
the home garden. The wheat crop
gives a surplus of flour.
One of the most h~eart-rending
cases at the home is that OF Mr.. Allen
Gillespie of Browning, Linn county.
He is so utterly helpless from pa
ralysis that he cannot even brush a
fly from his face or hands, and for
three years Mrs. Gillespie has re-
manned constantly at his bedside,
feeding him with a spoon. Mr.. Gill
lespie is a cultured gentleman, aged
70, and almost speechless, yet is
cheerful, and under the loving care
of his faithful wife is contentedly
awaiting the final roll-call.
The total cash outlay per adult
inmate is q cents per day, and 13k
cents for children. This includes
everything-salaries, drugs, insur-
ance, school books, freight, etc.
In good weather services are held
in the home.
The home is ably managed by
Superintendent NJ. L. Belt, Surgeon
J. ]. Fulkerson and A. E. Asbury
and A. Wade, local Supervising
Committee. The HigginsvilleD augh-
tiers of the Confederacy closely super
wise the housekeeping in the cot
tages.
The main building is now inclos-
ed, with gas pipes and steam heat
ing apparatus nearly in position. As
soon as steam can be raised the con-
tractor, Mr.. E. R. Page of Marshall
will rush the interior work. The
workmanship is excellent.
