Training Grape VInes.-How to train
grape vines 30 as 10 secure the best re-
suits is a matter about which there
have been several opinions, the favorite
methods being the trellis on the one
hand and the training of the vine TO a
single stake on the European renewal
system on the other. The methods
were tried in competition with each
other at the Ontario Station for three
years in succession. and the results
have just been published. The advan-
tage all appears TO be in favor of the
tPelIis system, and the reason of this
seems to be because it allows the vines
to grow more open. and thus to better
utilize the summer heat for ripening
During the experimental period sum-
mer pruning was also tried, and gave
a much more evenly ripened crop than
unpruned vines, similarly cultivated
If, therefore, the purpose is to length
en- the season, summer pruning should
be avoided, as the punches will ripen
uniformly, whereas If it is desired
that they should ripen at once,
then summer pruning would be valu-
able foT that purpose.

A Gloomy Prospect Changed to

Dyspepsia and Kidney Trouble Perfectly Cured by
Hoods Sarsapara.

Good health you cannot have without
pure blood; therefore, to keep well, puri-
fly your blood by taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. This medicine Is peculiarly de-
signed to act upon the blood, and through
that upon all the organs and tissues of the
body. 1t has specific action also, and as
sists nature to expel from the system all
humors, impure particles and effete matter
through the lungs, liver, bowels, kidneys
and skin. 1t eifectually aids weak, i'm
paired and debiltated organs, invigorates
the nervous system, tones the digestion
and imparts new life and energy to all the
functions of the boly. A popularity Of
Hoods Sarsaparlla Is that II strengthens
and builds up the system while 1t eradi-
Gates disease. Thus IL is that nervous
ness, loss of sleep, loss of appetite and
general debility all disappear when Hoods
Sarsaparilla is persistently taken, and
strong nerves, sweet sleep, strong body,

happiness, follow the use Of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.

President Cleveland has concluded
that patience has ceased to be a vir-

who shall visit the territory in dispute
and determine the true boundary.
Men of all parties in congress and out

From present indications it looks as
though England would have to submit
the matter to arbitration, let the Uni

The tone of the press and the utter

Railroad sentiment is not all one
way in Bloomington. The petition to
bond the town has carried by quite a
majority vet many of the people think
the benefits to be derived from a road
willnot Offset the increased taxation.
Jacob Schreiner wrote an article for
the Record last week in which he ably
opposes the railroad proposition. He
makes the following arguments: That
it is not fair for Bloomington to pay
for improvements that will benefit
other towns equally with herself.
That railroad will not increase the
earning capacity OF farm lands. That
those favorable TO the road have not
the moral right to place burdens of
taxation on their unwilling neighbors
and that the present is an inoppor-
tune time for such expensive improve
ments. The Record thinks Mr..
Schreiner's arguments fallacious and
promises to repil in the near future.
