summer Care of Fruit Trees and
Grape Vines.


The success of an orchard or vineyard
depends greatly upon the care of the
trees and vines while young, Newly plant
ed fruit trees. and those under six to
eight years old, should be looked over
occasionally during the spring and sum
mer months. all Unnecessary buds ana
shoots SHOULD be pihched or rubbed Off.
Every useless limb allowed to grow is
an actual loss to the owner.
If the trees are properly looked after
from the time they are planted the thumb
and finger, with the occasional use of a
small pocket knife, are the only imple-
ments that need be used to prune.
1t is important to the healthy growth
of all young trees that the soil be stirred
four or five times during the summer
The soil should never be allowed to grow
among any younger trees.
Mulching newly planted trees with
straw, leaves or litter of almost any kind
is always beneficial. and is a very good
substitute for frequent cultivation.
Grape vines should have all shoots and
buds rubbed off before they are four
inches long, except such as are wanted
to grow and leave the vine in good shape
for another year
From one TO three of the most vigorous
shoots should be left for new fruiting
canes for the following year, the number
depending on the VigOr of the vine
Pear. apple, and, indeed, all fruit trees
and vines are easily kept in shape by
little judiciouS pinching and rubbing of
necessary buds and shoots during the
spring and summer.
If a shoot commences growth when
limb is not wanted. rub it off; when
shoot or branch is making too vigorous
growth pinch off the terminal bud
Pruning grape vines and fruit trees Is
simplicity itself Notwithstanding all the
complicated aud contradictory essays that
befog the subject
Large limbs should never be taken Off
during the period of active growth, in
deed, if these instructions are followed
there will never be any large limbs to
take off.

In the south there are two periods for
sowing oats-in the fall and in the spring.
While there is some risk of losing the
crop when sown in the fall it is well
enough to take that risk if the sowing is
made at the proper time. Many farmers
as high up as Middle Georgia have gotten
into the habit of making their sowings
IN November and some as late as Decem-

cannot be put in properly in the sariy
ial it is far better to wait until Feb
iuary, then put them in land that has
been well plowed. For this sowing it is
Wei to pillow the land in November or
december, turning under any vegetable
matter that may be on it. The cat crop
comes in at a very opportune time and
as the grain is the best food for working
STOCK, no farmer should attempt to get
along without a crop of it. At least acres

rhe nrlght side OF rnrm Life.

That the average farmers life is not
exactly a bed of roses few will deny,
saws a western journal. But that it has
its bright side is not disputed. Among
the advantages held by the farmer over
any other laboring class. may be mention
ed his independence. With his comfort
able dwelling, well-flled barns and cellar
the modern farmer is absolutely the most
Independent of human beings. Financial
questions which the nation may be worry
ing itself about affect him but little
Labor strikes which involve thousands
of dollars and nearly all classes of men,
pass him by unheeded.
1t is impossible to, find another business
or profession which is less dependent
upon the patronage or favor of others. He
knows that if he raises more of any kind
of produce that he requires for his own
use he will be able to dispose of ii, be-
cause his products are the necessities of
life In place of being dependent upon
others, he has the satisfaction of knowins
that the whole world is dependent upon
him. This independence is shown III
many other forms.
He is not compelled as many others are
to rise q a certain hour and labor a GER
tain number of hours each day under the
directions of others until he becomes sim
ply piece of machinery, without thought
or feeling of his own. But. instead his
work is performed as he thinks best and
at whatever time he may consider most
suitable.
Neither is he worried by the fear of
losing his situation. as many alone who is
employed by others is, bound ITO be at one
time or another. Hts position is secure,
and he knows that with a fair season, his
recompense is assured. Looking at the
bright side of farm life from another
standpoint: No one ever passed a fine farm
i'm midsummer and Gid not envy its own
err The picturesque surroundings, the
well-kept fields and pastures, the fine
horses and sleek cattle, the general air
of peace and prosperity which hover over
a well-appointed farm. At this season:
however inspired poets have caused
many men in other walks of life to be-
come farmers, and many of the wrecks
along the country roadside were caused
bv men who had better have remained in
other walks of life.

The Importance of steadiness and care
in the management of a stable and in
the grooming of horses cannot be over
and not have him in constant fear, as
this has made many ugly horses. Many
stablemen imagine that the curryc0InO
is an instrument for cleaning the legs
and body of a horse. Its only use should
be to clean the brush and to loosen
the scurf on the neshy-nOt bOny-parts
of the body. Clean when the horse Is
dirty, always once a day when the horse
is kept in the stable. Horses that run
in pastures in summer require no groom
ing. Always clean the horses legs when
brought in from the mud or snow. If
this is neglected, il will cause scratches,
stocked legs, etc.
the horse is standing in the stable in
winter. A light sheet is about as neces-
sary in summer. A horse should always
be blanketed when standing in a draft or
in rain. Use a cloth or rubber blanke;,
as the case may be. In blanketing
horse see that the blanket is sufficiently
large to cover the animal from the neck
to the tail. See also that the breast
flaps protect this sensitive part, and that
the blanket is large enough to cover
sides and TANKS fully
The feet are half the horse In fac;:
a horse with bad feet is as nearly
worthless animal as is possible. When
the horse is brought in from the ROAD,
each foot should be examined with :
pick to see that no gravel or hard SUB
stance has found Judgment between the
frog and shoe. If the hoof is inclined to
he hard and brittle, oil it, In all re-
spects kindness and attention to o horse
are both satisfactory and remunerative.

AT first glance it may seem to be as b.
c. B. says, but the theory is not sustained
in practice. Soil varies so much it would
be impossible to get at the average needs
of a field by just one or two tests of the
soil Even in a field of one or two acres
frequently there is great variation. One
part will or may show presence of pot
will be lacking in other parts. You would
soon find that you could not fertilize your
farm satisfactorily from knowing the con-
ditions of a few isolated portions of 1t, even
admitting that the deductions from the
analysis were absolutely correct. No, it
has been found that the only satisfactory
way of finding out the needs of soil is to
apply the several elementary substances
that make up the food of plants-the three
we have named. j is the only practical
way of getting an answer TO the question
that is in anywise satisfactory.

" POLITICAL OFFENCES"

The old question, Are we Il nation OF ras-
GALS" assumes a broader character TO one who
studies the politics OF the whole world Are we
an aggregation Of rascally nntiOnsT' Is more apt
TO be the inquiry The conditions which have
existed for years past in the administration Of
American cities have been often pointed to as
an argument against the success Of Republican
government But that logic proves all other
government worthless. Accounts Of wholesale
corruption pour in from all over the world. The
systematic bribery Of officials and blackmailing
by newspapers which exist In France have en-
dangered the existence of the Republic, and at
hottom were the main causes Of the crisis which
the country Is just going through. The Panama
scandals are matched in Italy by the transac-
tons between banks and politicians which Off
Gals do not dare investigate. China sends a
story of corruption which Is startling even to
victims Of Tammany rule. There, on the eve Of
war; the national defences were sacrificed to
private greed Useless fortifcations were erect
ed where favored officials could make profit
from the work, and Port Arthur was left I'm
properly protected because it was for nobody's
personal interest TO build the land dcfenccs.
Inferior guns were purchased because large
commissions could thus be gained by the buy
ers and the soldiers were neglected in the field.
Republic and monarchy, Caucasian and Mon
gOlian all tell the tale OF unfalthfulness on
the part Of public servants and a willingness Of
private citizens TO cheat the Government at
every possible opportunity.
