The care of pasture land is a matter which
receives too little attention from farmers in
general, although upon this depends in con-
siderable measure the profit which we may ex-
pect to receive from growing stock. Our pas
ture fields are usually selected from the lands
which we think will least repay us for the
labor of cultivation. and so, because they are
comparatively yalueless, we think it will not
pay to give them the care necessary to make
them of greater value. The stock is turned
into these fields to pick up what it may. If the
stock is kept from starvation by the voluntary
growth of the pastures. we are apt to consider
ourselves so much ahead, but the stock kept in
this way pays US little real profit and the in
tersst charges and taxes keep on accommodating
every year upon the land. 1t is, of course, wise
as will least repay cropping. Sometimes the
fields so chosen are unsuited by their natural
conformation for profitable cultivation, and so
the best use to which they can be devoted, both
for the land and the owner, is the carrying of
stock. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow
a profitable crop and so is pastured as 8 means
of restoring fertility. In either of these cases
the land should have some care, and pains
should be taken to make it profitable in the
line to which circumstances have made il adj
visable to devote it. Do not get in the habit
of considering that it is only pasture field and
so treating it as if it could never be anything

OUR RURAL TOPICS
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

1t is well known that the southern shore OF
Lake Erie is eminently adapted to grape Gull
ture, and yet there are few vineyardists who ever
seek to understand why this is so. II is patent
to the most superficial observer that grapes can
not be raised in certain places. Localities where
the dew-fali Is copious and frequent are unfit
ted tor successful grape growing. The excess
OF humidity predisposes to black rot and mil
dew, two of the greatest foes to successful grape
culture. Trellises that have been rooted over
protecting the vines, have fruited and been free
from disease in these localities; but when the
vines were exposed they sll suffered from black
rot and kindred diseases to such an extent as to
be a total failure. 1t would, therefore, seem
that the best grape climate would be where
dews were light, and investigation will show
that where grape culture is extensively and
probably followed. it will be in such alocality.
PROXIMITY to large bodies Of water. or GER
tam elevation on hill-sides, indicates such
favorble spots. The amelorating effect on
climate of large bodies of water is so well
known as to need no comment This is pecu-
harly applicable to Lake Erie. Being by far
the shallowest of all the great lakes, its waters
become very warm in Summer The heat
stored IN this vast reservoir is steadily radiated
all night; the direct effect of this is not only
noticed on the banks of the lake. but extends
inland for many miles. This has a decided
effect on the dew-fall, and also wards off early
Autumn fros.s
The lake shore grape district has the kindly
influence of Lake Erie, and the latitude is
such that the wood is fully matured, and the
power of resisting cold depends much upon
this fact. Wood fully matured will stand very
low temperature but wood that has made its
growth late in the season. and is full of sap
ana immature, easily succumbs to cold weather.
Inc grape belt along Lake Erie is about eight
to 10 miles in width. Back of this the eoun-
try, although of equal fertility, and even fur
Their south, is subject to early frosts in the Fall
and late In the Spring. In certain localities,
where the ground is very stony, grapes do we'll.
The stones, being heated by the SUMS rays,
radlate heat during the night, thus keeping OF
the fall of dew.
For the amateur grape-grower these facts
are full of interest, for success will depend
more on locality than on the care of the vine
yards. In any locality where mildew or black
rot occurs, grapes cannot be raised without the
expense and yigilant use of Bordeaux mixture
and other preventives. At the present low
price of grapes any great or even moderate
use Of such measures may absorb the entire
profits of the crop. Even in the most favored
locality, frequent and heavy rains during the
Summer and Autumn will cause the appear
ance of an occasional black rot or mildew.-

NATIONAL PER CAPITA TAX.
DEAR BROTHER AND SISTER GUARDS. The Treas.
urer-Genera Mary l.. Best is quite right; the last
National Reunion erred Ia charging 10 cents per
capita lax There are several why think the
per capita should be changed back 10 the old stand
ard. and one OF them is that Order is young nd
the Divisions need the money more than National
Headquarters does. 1t takes good Divisions to
make good Headquarters. and all know the
stronger the divisions of army the stronger
the army. j, for my part. do not see how the
smaller Divisions pay the tax. The Missouri

Now, understand that believe In giving Ma

Strong, vigorous plants are more necessary
for the garden than good seed for the farm.
Poor seeds make failure for single year only,
while the result of poor plants lasts many sea-
sons. Never use Strawberries from an old bed.
They should be selected from new beds on
which no fruit was grown the previous season.
Remember, pistilate plants are female, and
should have staminate (male), or perfect flow
ering kinds, set with them about every third
row. Pistilates are usually smaller, more pro-
life, and will not stand the drouth as well az
staminates.
All fruit-plants and trees should have good
supply of fine, light-colored, fbrous roots, which
IS an indication of new, vigorous and healthy
growth.
Select plants of currant, grape and gooseberry
one or two years old. strong One-year-old is
better than week two-year-old.
In ordering plants always avoid the profes-
siOnal tree peddIer. Deal directly with the
grower himself, and your plants viii cost much
less and be delivered in better condition. Send
order at once to responsible grower, with full
description and number of plants wanted, but
do not have them shipped until you are ready
for setting.
Ground should be prepared as early in the
Spring as its condition will allow and plants
set at once.
When plants arrive they should be kept in a
cool place 1.-THE cellar is bestl until used. The
roots should never be exposed to the sun or
wind, or allowed to become dry.
If large roots are broken or injured they
should be smoothly trimmed with sharp
knife. If top is large it should be trimmed
back. The root is the foundation for future
supplies. and must be tenderly cared for. II
roots of Strawberries are long, it is best to cut
them back to four or five inches before setting.
The top should also be reduced to two leaves

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-The most
disastrous fire in this city in several
years, broke out shortly after 8 o'clock
this morning in the building owned and
occupied by the Indianapolis Natural
Gas, Company, at South Pennsylvania
and Maryland streets. The fire jumped
to the Indiana medical college and the
handsome Scotchish Rite building i'm
mediately north. The last building
was the largest of the kind in the coun-
try. It's original cost was 100000. and
recently $4,000 worth Of improvements
had been made. By o'clock these
buildings were smoldering pile of
debris. rs,.
Fireman Samuel Muir fell from the
third floor of the Scottish Rite building
and was seriously injured. Fire Chief
Webster was injured by falling bricks.
The gas company's loss is 1000: in
surance $4,000 Medical college, loss
$4,000; fully insured Scottish iRite,
loss, 100000, with insurance of about
$4,000. Among the valuable Masonic
matter destroyed in the Scottish Rite
building was the Hacker library, the
finest in the world, and a Masonic col

Twenty thousand dollars damage was
done to surrounding property. There
were eighteen picked bodies in the
medical college, all of which were Gre

that they were figuring on having to

average of the ore shipped, will amount
to $2,250,OO0.

In inviting the Trade ,Unionists Of
America to participate in our conven-

tention to the fact that the past year
has witnessed strange scenes and in
cidents, 80 strange that the whole world
stood aghast lest the free institutions OF
our country were about to be shatter-

the liberties Of our people trampled

and Furnishing them for contempt,
practically flung to the winds the right
Of trial by jury. The right Of the masses
of labor to organize for self protection

men engaged in a contest in defense of
their rights and to aid their fellow
workers. These facts must receive our
consideration, and in no uncertain
tones must we declare our position upon
them, and our unceasing effort for their
solution, and the final emancipation of
labor.
For more than q year the people Of
our country have been suffering from
great Industrial, commercial and finan-
cial crisis. Hundreds of thousands of
our fellow workers have been vainly
seeking opportunities to earn their
bread by the sweat of their brows.
Though this lack of employment is in
no sense the fault of the workers, yet
the unemployed are mainly dependent
upon our efforts for permanent relief;
hence wise legislation some tangible

will be necessary to relieve us from
those awful conditions which confront
us. Some action must be taken by
which both those over-employed and
unemployed may be benefited and re-
