Pruning Grape Vines.

How and when shall prune my grape
vines? asks the beginner.
Nothing easier, if you will first under
stand that fruit buds are neven produced
on old wood.
That this years growth is the only por-
ton of the vine that sends out stems on
which fruit is produced another year.
Hence, in pruning, preserve a supply of
strong young wood, and cut away the old
and weaker growth.
A / or 2-year-old plant when sent from
the nursery may have only one shoot, or
it may have several.
In any event, all are cut Off but the
strongest, and that cut back to within two
eyes of the base.
These two eyes will produce shoots, and
when they have made a growth of a few
inches, rub off the weak one and let the
strong one grow until September, when
the end of the shoot is pinched Oft to ma
ture and ripen the wood.
Late in the fall cut this shoot back to
three eyes. All side shoots and suckers
should be pinched off.
The second year the strongest shoot
from these three eyes should be preserved
as before.
Side shoots or laterals will appear on
the same. So soon as a leaf one inch in
pinched off with thumb and finger.
In short time the leaf viii become full
size and mature bud al its base and send
out a new shoot, which should be stopped
The third year two or more canes may
be permitted to grow. with branches to
compare with vigor of vine, and trained
in various ways. A few punches of fine
fruit may also be expected.
Trim all the vines in the fall, leaving
spurs or canes of new wood containing
two or three eyes each for next seasons
fruit.
With strong growth at least three-quar-
ters of the vine should be cut away.
with good care the vine will give album
dance of fruit under almost all methods of
treatment, ana should find a friendly
trellis in every farm and village home.
A little study and observation will ena-
BILE one to prune and train the vine cor
rectly.
The essentials are good varieties suited
to your locality a warm, rich SOIL, well
drained. clean cultivation, severe prun-
ing and. in northern states especially,
winter protection.-M. a. Thayer.

Simply from the amount of good
that will ultimately come from it,.
we hope that every reader of this col
umn who is engaged in farming and truck
ing will sow at least a small patch in
crimson clover between this and March.
If only for the sake of the information,
sow a quarter of an acre anyhow. If YOU
make the sowing in a proper manner you
are almost certain to be pleased.
Things cannot go on forever as they
have been going the past five or ten years.
Our farmers have got to make a radical
change. 1t cannot be deferred any lon
ger. How is it possible to make a
decent living groing scent cotton? Three
acres to make a bale worth $24-say IS

We would be glad to receive commune
cations from our farmer and gardener
readers Send in one or two of the most
interesting facts of your recent expert
ence. What success have you had in
growing vegetables or fruits? Can you
make a success of farming in growing
5-cent cotton? Is it not possible for our
southern farmers to taper off on cotton
and reduce the acreage 50 per cent. and
yet make better living out of the farms

Vitality of Seeds.

Fifteen years ago Prof. W. J. Beal
buried twenty lots Of fifty seeds each Of
twenty-one species. mostly weeds. the
seeds being mixed with damp sand and
placed in eight ounce bottles. After the
end OF five years. and again at the end of
ten years these seeds were tested, and
now at the end of fifteen years an ad-
ditional test has been made, which shows
that many Of the seeds still retain their
vitality They were sowed this spring
and are still coming up. The seeds of
some weeds belonging TO the mustard
family, like shepherds purse and pepper
grass, all retain their germinative power
while those Of May weed (snthenis cotula),
evening primrose, purslane, narrow dock
and mullen are still very much alive. In
another paper on the Vitality Of Glover
Seed" Dr. Beal stated that some twelve
years ago he selected from second
crop of red clover the seeds Of nifty good
heads from FIVE plants. which were placed
in a glass bottle and exposed TO the light
On the first Of June Of this year fifty
seed of each lot were tested. and month
later q second lot was tested. which show
ed that an average Of 36 per cent gcrmi-
mated AS a practical matter farmers
may therefore, rest assured II their clover

means that one can raise enormous bunch
es of celery, averaging two feet high,
with stalks proportionately thick. Stalks
of that size will yield a tremendous crop
on a small plat. Very rich soil must be
furnished for celery of this character.
In the growing season of the celery
plants this vast quantity of plant life
demands plenty of water, and many cell
cry patches are retarded in their growth
in late summer by the lack of sufficient
moisture. 1t is such an easy matter
to supply the plants with water by run
ming it down into the trenches between the
rows, ana there is no excuse for neglect
in this respect. On the other hand,
some soils are naturally thick and sticky,
and water settles in it, and scarcely ever
dries out. This is unsuited to the proper
growth Of the plants. The soil must be
drained so that the water can sink down
into the subsoil, and then be drawn up
as the plants need it. If the soil is heavy
clay or loan, so that water cannot pene-
trate down into it, a mixture of some
fine sand gives great results. This we'll
drained soil will be of inestimable adj
vantage as fall comes on, and the wet
soil gets cold and damp. II the water
stands in it, then the celery is pretty sure
to rust. Sub irrigation is just the thing
for a celery patch, and with little i'm
provement in this line, one would have
little difficulty in raising a large crop of
pure white tender celery for the market.
A great deal of the celery to-day is pure
white and beautiful to look upon, but it
is not tender, crisp and nutty in flavor.
Consumers are realizing this more and
more, and many are willing to pay
fancy prices for extra-fine celery. Now,
celery, to be of the right tenderness and
sweetness, as well as white must be grown
rapidly, and with perfect surroundings.
1t must be blanched partly as it grows,
and not suddenly by burying it. A good
celery stalk should break in three or four
places when bent with the hand. If it
resists, and only cracks in three or four
places, it is not properly grown. Any
one can, in these days, raise white Gel
cry, white as the driven snow, but not
one in hundred can raise crisp, tender
and nutty celery. An examination of the
celery placed on sale in the chief markets
will show this any day A. B. Barrett.

The Needs for Frnits.

It seems as if our race is. going back to
it's original condition OF fruit-eating and
let US hope-accompanyin innocence.
The former is quite apparent and the lat
ter is to be most sincerely hoped for and
those who claim to know, of these things
say that the excessive consumption of
flesh meat is not consistent with refined
and innocent life, while the culture of the
garden and the contented and happy life
therein. with the simple, pleasing and nu-
tritiOuS diet of fruits, are all conducive
to the best interests of mankind.
Let uS hope that it may be so, for all
signs point to the greatly-increasng cul-
ture of fruits and nuts. upon which we
know aboriginal races lived almost exclu-
sively. And as the supply of this pleasant
food increases. the demand is always a
little way ahead Of it. and now. as the
growth of wheat is wholly Improbable to
the average farmer, and only the very
highest culture of this grain and The great
est yield of it will pay the producer for
his labor, it is indispensable that other
products should be grown. Fruit has been
enc of the most profitable products of TIE
soil, perhaps because it requires skilled
work to overcome tho natural difficulties
in the growth of the best qualities, and Of
all the profitable fruits nuts bring the
highest prices in the markets. This is in
strict accordance with the proprieties of
thd case, for nuts are quite as nutritious
as the best animal food, as they contain
every element of full and well-balanced
nutriment. The heterogeneous matters, the
fat, and the carbohydrates are all sup
piled, and the flavor of the meat is agree
able. The chestnut is now becoming con
spicuous as a farm crop, and experiments
made show that the profits from it are
greater than from any other product of
the soil while laborious culture of the
land is not required. In fact, it brings
back to the farmer that time when our
first parents lived in happiness and spent
a puret life in a garden and only came to
grief when they became dissatisfied with
their life of comfort, ease, and content

these found all over the country have
gone to legs and shouts.
There is no field that will pay the hog
breeders of the north and west. who make
preceding stock hogs a speciality, such large
returns, if properly pushed, as the south.
Thousands of pigs could be sold in each
OF the southern states if the breeders
would enter the field as actively as they
nave IN the western states. Once a few
lots OF good hogs are owned in com
munlty, every planter will want the short
snout and leg kind instead of the razor
backs.
For young men there is no more fnvit-
ing hcld than to engage in breeding hoes
IN the south. Little capital is required to
make a start, and the rapidity with which
they increase soon brings a fortune with
proper care.
LoW-priced cotton is causing other
branches of agriculture to receive greater
attention, and live stock are coming in
Tor their share. The independent condition
81 the south to-day is from a change of
methods. The west will no longer be the
corn crib and meat house for the south.
On the other hand. the south can comDete
with any section in the production of
cheap pork and beef when the people give
these matters their attention. Climatic
conditions are with them, and with little
EFFORT this means a profit, where those hay
ing unfavorable climatic conditions to
contend with fail.
This is a field that will bear investiga-
ton, as hogs can be grown to eighteen
months or two years old at an outlay of
not over 81 per head. The south is full
OF hogs now, but they are not the right
KIND they should be sold by the dozen.
instead of by the pound Better blood is
needed to cross up the present stock.
When this is done the south will be a
producer of pork for our markets, instead
of being as in the past. the market for
pork produced in other sections.

Shade and constant cultivation is neces-

not be the great "bugaboo" that some
make it, Even in a garden nut grass is
no great obstaclel to good crops if the soil
is kept in steady shade as it may be in a

Irish potatoes, keeping themi perfectly
clean and follow instantly with a crop of
peas or bush beans planting either in
