PLANTING THE GRAPE.

Experienced grapemen everywhere
urge deep planting and it is q lesson
one must learn sooner or later. We
may think it an absurd thing to plant
a vine foot and half or two feet
deep, but unless we do we may as we'll
let grapes alone.
Nearly all planters recommend at
least the former depth, and it is q Gus
tom followed in the oldest grape
countries. Not only is it an all but
universal method, but in some of the
Rhine countries all surface roots are
cut off by thrusting the spade down
alongside the vine, 50 compelling the
plant to find its entire sustenence in
the subsoil
Without deep and thorough pre-
paration of the soil our vines will be
both short lived and unproduetivc:
Drainage must be secured if necessary.
for a grape will not endure wet feet.
nor will fertilizing the subsoil be of
the least use SO long as water remains
in it.
How to enrich the whole soil to the
depth of Mt least one foot is, in the
vineyard, an important matter 1t NAV
possibly be done otherwise, but to pro
mote good healthy growth of vine
and fruit, there is to my mind no way at
all equal to ploughing in good com
post, either of muck we'll dried out or
of parlngs of low rich lands, including
wire grass, bushes, vines, all the small
growth. Such compost made I'D
with hardwood ashes and sprinklino
of bone, distributed all through the
soil by repeated ploughings, will give
you wood and fruit.
Now, IN preparing to plant, throw
out wide, open burrows, or dig holes ut
least three feet wide aud foot and $
half deep, and put in generous sup
ply--a bushel or more-of the same
compost. Mix it with the best surface
soil, and in that plant You cannot
nj! up at first; let the upper roots be
covered three or four inches, and for
the rest successive hoeings as the vines
grow will suffice, and by the close of
the first season the ground will be
levelled up
Don't forget to get the vines down,
down near the bottom of the prepared
holes, for most of the failures in Crane
growing result from surface prepare
ton and shallow planting. Florida

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A good mulch keeps down weeds.
Mixed grasses make the best pasture.
Milk as quickly and quietly as pos
sible
The curl III the pigs tail is a sign Of
health.
Small eaters are almost always Door
mixers.
Large crops are not always the most
profitable ones
Liquid manure will force crops to q
rapid maturity.
The best quality of meat comes from
the pig, not the hog.
Bulky food should always be fed
with concentrated food.
Pigs in the orchard will consume
wormy fruit and insects.
Change the quarters and pasture of
your sheep occasionally.
Too much wood is prolific cause Of
the non-fruitage of trees.
A creamery should not be started Oh
less than three hundred COWS.
Oil meal is concentrated food and
should be given i'll moderation.
The more flowers are picked, tho
more flowers the plant will bear.
Raspberries, with the exception of
Blackcaps, can be planted in the fall.
Mulched tomatoes produce larger
crops than those that are not mulched.
A little extra work in mellowing the
soil will give larger profit when the
crop is harvested.
Market gardeners are preparing the
liant and sowing turnip5 and lettuce
for the late market.
Tnoso kinds of cabbage which have
firm, close heads are the least injured
by tn" cabbage worm.
Turnips will produce larger crops
when waeded, but they will do well OH
the average ground if not cultivated.
The loss by shrinkage of vegetables
stored i'll cellars is very great: some
claim it 10 be as high rs forty per

NI1-I.ES FOR FARM WORK.

The mule is used much more than
the horse in the South, probably III
mart because Southern laborers are not
TO be trusted with the more spirited
and valuable animal. A Southern
PLANTER mentions as advantages OF
mules over horses: Their feet are
smaller, 50 they injure the crops less
when working in them, and can be
used in closer rows than horses they
are less liable to disease, are better
feeders, being less fastidious as to
what they eat, endure hardship better,
are not SO easily injured and are
steadier to work ut the pillow. The
experience of most Northern farmers
with mules is that, however serv1ceable
for work on the farm, 1T IS less pleas
ant and less safe to work among them.
Good horses are none the worse for
the farm, because they require better
care than the mules will put up with

This is the first time, according to the
chicago Record, that Korea, commonly
known as the "hermit Nation" has partici-
pateC in an international exposition. Though
she has been open to the world for more
than ten years, her relations with other
powers have not been intimate. except with
Chlna, Japan and Russia. By these three
Nations she is surrounded and jealousy
watched, lest she may become either too in
dependent or too much under the influence
OF one OF these three powers. Korea thus oc-
cupies very delicate and dangerous DO
sltlon and must act cautiously with other Ma
mons. She Is less known than either Japan
or China. Her exhibit, therefore. in the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, is very i'm
FDrtant and instructive

part OF the Manufactures Building, and. be-

brace the earth, while the earth to landward
rises in lofty mountains and folds the
heavens in its embrace. making a harmo-

curious design on the Korean flag. The four

sent the four points of the compass.

The Identification of bodies that
have been mutila1ed beyond recogni-
ton Dy the usual rules has until re-
Gently been so difficult that every year
hundreds of bodies of heroes have been
consigned to nameless graves.
But a new system of identification
has been discovered that is as accurate
and unfailing as is the famous system
of measurement employed by the Paris
police in keeping track Of the crimi-
mails of France. 1t is identification by
means of the teeth 1t was first sug-
gested and put in practice by a New
York dentist. For years it has been
the custom of all frst-class dentists to
keep complete chart OF the teeth of
all their patients, together with a
record of all filings, removals OF other
work done to the masticators. These
charts and records are carefully filed
away and are kept as long as the pa
tient lives. A comparison of several
hundred of these charts recently made
in New York showed that no two of
them were identically alike. The first
and most noted instance where identi-
fication by the teeth was made con
elusive was in the case of Norcross, the
dynamiter, who attempted the life OF
Russell Sage, and was blown to pieces.
While trousers button furnished the
first clew to his identity, it was not
until mis- teeth we're examined by his
dentist that the identity was rlcog-
nized by the young mans parents.
One # the victims of the cold storage
murder was identified Tuesday by his
teeth. Why is it not possible to iden-
tify all Of the charred bodies now at
the morgue by the same method?-
