HAVE you cut out all the cases or

cherry trees? This is a trouble that
means determination if neglected.

TURKEYS do not fatten well in con-
finement, says writer. A week or
ten days is as long as they can be
cooped without loss of condition.
The best plan is to feed abundantly
twice a day with corn, and then pen
for one week before marketing. If
the turkeys will not appear promptly
at feeding time don't grieve about it;
they are getting plenty outside and
will flesh up all the same.
The FARM AND FlREsIDE says that
bagging grapes as soon as the bloom
has fallen will prevent rot The
fruit is much more beautiful when
grown in bags. One pound manila
bags are used. The bag is opened,
drawn carefully over the bunch and
pinned above the cane from which
the bunch is growing This method
of D Otecting grapes is advisable
where one has only few vines.

sprayer is most convenient, and with
small nozzle very small quantity

require much more liquid and take
much more time.

intervals of about four feet by cross
ties which are thrust through the

Two men can securely tie one Of
these long shocks in three minutes.
The fodder in these shocks cures and

Not Exposed to the Enemy.

Prince Napoleon and Count Mer-
cier, with their suite were once visit
ing within the Confederate lines dur
ing our civil war, and, riding along
the Fairfax turnpike, they came up
on Major Il. G. Skinner and a body
of Southern veterans. Skinner left
his men in charge of a junior officer
and approached the party. He had
been educated in France under the
patronage of the Marquis de La
fayette, and Prince Napoleon, who
received him warmly, making somere-
mark about the soldlerly appearance
of his troops. Just at that moment
an evolution brought the men into
such a position that they turned
their backs upon the distinguished
visitors. Their trousers showed the
worst effects Of their usage. The
Prince could not repress a smile as
his eye ran along the line of big and
little holes. But Major Skinner, with
characteristic wit, said: "Gentle-
men, you see there the side of our
soldiers which has never yet been,
and l hope never may be, seen by the
enemy."
