FARM AND GARDEN.


Grape Culture in Summer Time.
Almost all the treatises on the practi-
cal cultivation of the grape are intended
for large vineyards, where the grape Is
cultivated for market purposes alone.
The amateur gardener, who has but
few dozen grapevines to care for can
get very little profit from these rules.
For the benefit of the amateur we may
say that the best time for pruning his
grapes will be the spring and summer
months. He should have a clear idea
as to the number of branches, and
which ones he needs to leave grow for
fruiting the following season; and soon
after growth has commenced, the
weaker shoots that he does not need for
fruiting the following season should be
saken out All the vital power Of the
wants will then go into the branches
snat are left. They will be strong and
healthy and bear fine grapes the fol-
owing season. Another point to be at
tended to is that in the limited room
of the amateurs garden it is desired to
keep the fruiting branches as low to
the ground as possible, and every effort
should be made to make them strong.
In the summer pruning, or rather
"pinching out" of these branches. it will
be found that the upper shoots are the
stronger and the lower ones the weaker.
If it is found desirable to have the
branches low toward the ground, the
upper branches, although strong,
should be pinched back This will
throw the strength OF the plant into the
weaker branches and make them as
strong as if they pushed out from the
upper portions of the plant 1t is i'm
possible to teach this in the few words
Of paragraph. Much can be learned
from actual trials, and If the amateur
grower with little experience in grape
growing, and with this paragraph be-
fore him, will experiment with single
vine for one year, he will learn more
from actual observation than he could
by studying a whole book on grape Gull
ture for week.-Meehan's Monthly for
April

THE CANON OF WHIST.
A Rhymed Code of Scientific Plays
Worth Remembering.

A Rhymed Code of Scientific Plays
Worth Remembering.
New York Tribune.)
If you the modern game of whist would
know,
From these great principles its precepts
flow:
Treat your own nand as TO your partners
Joined,
And play not one alone, but both CON-
bined.
Your first lead makes your partner under
stand
The suit predominating in your hand.
And hence there is necessity the strong-
est
That your first lead be from your suit
that's longest
In this, with ace and king, lead king, then
ace.
With king and queen. king also has first
place.
With ace, queen knave, lead ace and then
the queen;
With ace. four small ones. ace should first
be seen.
With queen. knave, ten, you let the queen
precede;
In other cases your ten lowest lead.
Ere you return your friends your own
suit play.
But trumps you must return without de-
lay.
When you return your partners lead take
pains
To lead him back the best your hand con-
tains.
If you received not more than three at
first;
If you had more. you must return the
worst.
But If you hold the master card you're
bound
In any case to play 1t second round.
Wiener you have to lead tbs seldom
wrong
To play up to the weak or through the
strong.
If second hand your lowest should be
played,
Unless you mean trump signal to be made.
Or if you've king and queen or ace and
king,
Lowest CT these would be the proper thing.
Mind well the rule. for trumps you'll often
need them:
When you hold nve tbs always right to
lead them.
Or If the lead won't come in time for you.
Then signal for your partner SO to do.
Watch also for your partners trump re-
quest,
To which with less than four play out your
best
To lead through honors is Indifferent bad
play,
Unless you want the trump suit chased
away.
When second hand doubtful trick you
see,
Don't trump it If you hold more trumps
than three;
But, having three or less. trump fear
lessly.
When weak in trumps don't force your
friend,
But always force the adverse strong
trump hand.
For sequence stern custom has decreed
The lowest you must play If you don't
lead.
When you discard, weak suits you ought
to choose,
For strong ones are too valuable to lose;
Though nowadays some clever people say
Your strong suit is the one to throw away.

A combination preserve of raspberries
and currant juice is highly recommend
ed by all those who have tried 1t. To
twelve quarts of raspberries use three
quarts of currants and three quarts Of
sugar. Prepare the currants. and then
cook them slowly for an hour, stirring
and MASKING constantly. Then pour
the hot fruit and juice through square
of cheese CLOTH squeezing out as much
juice as possible; add the sugar, and
keep on stirring until it is well melted.
When the syrup begins to boil, pour in
your raspberries and let them cook in
it for ten minutes; then fill your jars.

She paused a moment.
THE die Is cast" she murmured.
There is no retreat"
Hastily gathering the most necessary
part of her wardrobe into 81 trunks, she
dropped them softly from the window.
Then she descended by the rope ladder
and fell into the arms of her lover, who
in the gloom of the shrubbery nad i'm

Mrs. r. A Emmons enjoys the proud
distinction of being the only woman who
has achieved the half-century run in
in years and century run in bicycling.
She is a Chicagoan and a member of
the Century Club, and she made her
first trip of 100 miles with great ease.
This is not her only great feat. When
she was in the advertising department
of the American Reformer-a temper
ance organ-she used to travel with a
tiny silver hammer in her pocket, a
gripful Of circulars and pound or two
of tacks. She would board freight train
and every time the great, numbering
chain of cars came to standstill she
hoped out and nailed circular to a

Beside these Woodworking clubs are
many others, which deal with the artis-

Hodges further said. her usefulness de-

Franchise. 1t contains about twenty-five
members, and its work concerns the
study of French life and customs, as
we'll as language, lectures being given
upon such topics as Life and Customs
of Brittany" Normandy" and 1.-THE
French Republic of To-Day"
Another large club is the Deutscher
Verein, al which papers are read in
German, followed by discussion in the
same language. Germanic mythology,
arts, history and peoples are all studied.
Then comes the English Club, with a
limited membership of fifteen, and a
very high standard Of work. During the
past year this club has spent much Of its
time in reading and discussing the best
themes which have been presented in
the various English courses, Two special
programmes have been prepared, how
ever, one of which dealt with the work
of women writer's of novels from Jane
Austen to the present time, and the
other was devoted to the life and poetry
Of Emily Dickinson.
