Tuesday afternoon from MIR. Alex w.
Terrell. United States minister TO Tur-
key, dated al Para. the European quar-
ter OF Constantinople, contained the
intelligence that the efforts of Miss
Clara Barton, president OF the Amer

eminent 10 distribute relief TO the sur
fering Armenians had been successful.
The decision of the sublime porte not
TO allow relief measures to be extended
by the Red Cross society or by it's OIL
GERS made II doubtful whether Miss
Barton and her party would succeed in
their object. 1t appears from Mr.. Ter

Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting In small but profit
able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third OF
century they would be the leaders
In the seetgrowing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret OF
this phenomenal success was quality

advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and 10
the superior merit OF Salzer's northern
grown seeds: to their unusual life and

great producing qualities, and this

has placed the firm in the van and en-
titles them TO the proud distinction
OF Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been n
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acirs OF land. Their great eight
hundred acre rial farm in South Da.
kota WINS visited by thousands inter-
ested In higher farming. and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state TO any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to the
new grasses. clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
The largest list of rare farm seeds
found IN America.
A strong point of the John A. Salzer
Seed Co. Is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering Of them

a slight idea of the magnitude Of this
firms business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest num-
berof catalogues ofany American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage n
year, employ in the packing and dis

six hundred hands and require for

acres of floor room.

GRAPE CULTIVATION.
How to Care for the Vines So as to So
cure Fair Profit.

How to Care for the Vines So as to SCI
cure Fair Profit.
In an address before a New York
farmers institute, W. T. Tabor, of Lake
View fruit farm, said on the above sub
ject:
First, we shall properly grow the vine
that 1t be vigorous and healthy, not an
overgrowth of cane by furnishing too
much nitrogen in the 4orm of stable
manure, but with sufficient potash and
phosPhoric acid to harden the cane and
perfect the bud. Assuming that you are
trimming your vines upon what is
known as the Kniffin system with four
arms, let me say to you that we have
changed cur system so thot we only use
the two upper arms and grow all our
grapes upon these arms.
Why have we changed and what mas
been the result? We observed that
much the larger proportion of marketa-
bic grapes We're grown upon the upper
arms, ano as it was marketable grapes
we wanted, we removed the lower arms.
Now in order to get the amount or guam
tity necessary we left upon this single
cane which constituted the arm upon
each side of the main vine a greater
number of buds which distributed The
new growth over more surface, pre-
venting the overcrowding of fruit upon
the vine. We leave upon two arms 12 to
IA buds each.
The summer pruning consists in re-
moving, after the fruit is set, the cling
ers and seconds and afterwards the lat
erals, and clipping off the fruit-bearing
shoots at the third or fourth leaf beyond
the fruit. excepting one good cane near
est the head of the vine, which is left for
the fruit bearing cane for the next year.
We also remove the poor clusters and
never have over three clusters upon a
shoot, and usually two, and on some
only one.
There will then remain upon the vine
from IS to 40 or more clusters, and
think it will pay to remove still more.
not having over 80 clusters to the vine,
believing. as do, that these 80 clusters,
even if not averaging in weight over 20
pounds to the vine. will sell for more
money than the 40 clusters weighing Is
pounds, and less expensive in market
ing I am after quality in place of
quantity.
What are indications of high quality
and where do we find it? Like the
peach, the rich bloom upon its surface
is Indicative of its quality and you ind
this bloom most perfectly developed
upon the largest ana nneSI clusters up
on the vine.
By this method of pruning each clus-
ter hangs in a natural position upon the
vine, independent of each other, are
more compact in their structure and
better developed in their growth.
/ believe there are other advantages
that indirectly aid in perfecting the
fruit. These are the free circulation of
the air under the vines and fruit, the
clean surface of the ground affording no
lodgmenb for sporadic or fungous
growths, also the ease with which the
vines may be sprayed, the rapidity with
which the fruit may be gathered and
the ease with which the surplus of
growth may be removed in the winter
pruning.

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.
A Hint for the sOmcers of State and
County Fair Associations.

A Hint for the sOmcers of State and
County Fair Associations.
One long stride toward good roads
would be accomplished if we could con-
vince the people what blessing good
roads are, especially for the farmer, and
that broad tires on all wagons that carry
1000 pounds or more is the salvation of
good roads. One way to bring about this
change and educate the people as to
what broad tires will really do toward
making a good road and keeping it,
would be if our fair associations all over
this grand country would offer good
large premium for the wagon that
would be the lightest draft and keep
the roads in the best shape.
The way to test this would be to give
each wagon its own track, use the
standard narrow tires and four-inch
tires. Water the track in certain places,
using the same amount of water on
each. loading each wagon the same,
make each wagon make the same num-
Der of trips over the track and give the
premium to the wagon that is lightest
on team and keeps the road in best
shape. Well, / will venture to say that
in the course of time the narrow tired
wagon will get the road in such a shape
that the team can't pull it. If men would
only give this thought attention they
would see the advantage of broad tires
for good roads and to help make and
keep good roads.-George ]. Menger, in
Journal of Agriculture.

SCOURS IN CALVES.

Prevented by Using Rennet In Connection
with Skim Milk.
I milk my cows for the butter that is
in the milk, writes C. L. Gabrilson in
Hoard's Dairyman, and cannot afford
to let the calves have it. I therefore
feed skim milk. The great trouble in
feeding this way is scours; but have
learned that this difficulty can be en-
tirely prevented by the use of rennet
extract, to be given with the skim milk
as we get it from the deep setting cans.
We make a business of dairying, and
the calves must take their chances with
the skim milk, and everyone knows the
difficulty in feeding this bare skim
milk. If we increase the quantity a lit
tie or have it too cold, the calls diges-
ton is upset and scours follow. ac-
cidentally stumbled on to the use of
rennet extract in liquid form, which
can be bought at $1-50 per gallon, and is
of such strength that one teaspoonful
is enough for ten calves getting four
quarts each of milk at feed, to prevent
any danger from scours- With this adj
junct, skim milk can be fed with as
great safety as new milk, and now
can put my calves on skim milk in about
five DAYS. I feed the milk at a tenn
perature of about 80 degrees at first,
but after two months reduce it to IS
or 80 degrees The rennet extract never
fails to prevent scours.
