lam inclined to think from a slight
experience that the Muuson trellls is the
best method Of training vines Ill this
climate. This is the mode devised by
Mr.. Munson, a noted fruit grower OF
Texas The plan is to set posts along
the rows at moderate distances, ana
from four to six feet high. On these
posts cross pieces are nailed two rect
long. and wires are stretched along the
centre Of the tops Of the posts, and from
the end of the cross pieces, making
three horizontal lines of wires foot
apart. The vines are trained on long
canes along the central wire, and the
fruit wood is trained to the side wires,
and allowed to hang over. New canes
are trained out annually to take the
places of those that have borne and are
to be cut away We have some trained
in this way the Station and they do
well. We uever prune grapes here til!
March, as those pruned in the fall are
apt to start untimely in the spring an
get hurt by return of cold. At that
late date the bleeding does not amount
to much, as the foliage soon stops it.
In any mode of training the main OBJ
ject is to have good supply OF strong
one-y ear-old wood. If you train on
perpendicular trellis, run the trellises
north and south, SO that Ole will not
shade the other. Stretch three wires
starting IS inches from the ground and
foot apart, and prune fan shape, cut
ting out annually the wood that has
borne and train up strong canes four or
five feet long for the new crop

Way down on old Tar ribber,
Far. far away;
Thinking of de trials of dis poor nigger
And my lovely May.
On de banks of dis old ribber
May and did roam,
Talking of de little log cabin
Shortly to be our home.
Butnow I'm old and weary,
MY heart is sick and sore;
Since May has gone and left me
And l can love no more.
Now comes on de hunting season
For de pOssumS and de cOOns.
Which lives in de low ground forests
And rambleS late and soon
takes my old dog Caesar
And my double barrel gun
And creeping through de bushes
10 have q little fun.
And now de clouds grows heavy
And lets down floods of rain,
De ribber rise in fury
And covers roads and lanes.
I hears de rushing of de waters,
l sees de cabin go;
l hears de screams of Mary
And never sees her more
o! my Mary darling,
When we sat side by side,
With my loving arms around you
In de ebening tide,
And now my loving darling
I'll never see you more,
But always strive, watch and pray
10 meet you on de Shore.
O! how l loves dat dear old ribber,
De scenes of childhood's days;
But all my friends have gone and left me
And l alone remains.
And now I'm old and feeble;
I'm lettering to de grave,
But looking to dat Saviour
Whoever died my soul to save.

1t will certainly pay you well to sub

| ANSWERED by H. B. Battle, Director

Experiments conducted at the Ala
bama station show that approximately
ela times the quantity Of nitrogen il
found in the vines of COW peas In the
fall than those left over to the following
spring. The reason of this is that tho
heterogeneous materials are lost by d.
composition. The materials of q min
eral character will be also lost from the
leaves being blown or washed to other
localities. We have gotten the best re-
suits from blowing under after the pea
vines are ripe i'll the fall following with
wheat, and not allowing them to re-
main on the land until the next spring.
Bulletins Nos. n and 81 describe the
experiments.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The candidacy of John d. Jones fol
speaker has grown in strength through
out the state his eminent titm SIS lorth'
position being universally recognized
and conceded. There is but one method
by which he can be defeated, and an ef
fort is being made to bring this about :
the amaleamation of all interests OPP
posed to him. 1t is one OF the freaks OF
practical politics tnat when man as.
nires to an office tor which he is peculiar.
" fitted, and leads in strength all other
aspirants for that office, the Opposing
candidates feel in duty bound to con
spire 70 accomplish his defeat with little
reference as to the instrument used TO
mplish such defeat. The old Greeks
were the first OF record to resort to this
complimentary method of destroying
tleil best men, When man gained, by
eminent service or peculiar fitness, a
prominent place in the affections OF the
people, they ostracised him-expatriat-
ed him by popular vote. In lesser de-
gree that is what the opponents Of MIR.
tones are attempting to do-to concen-
trat. their following upon anyone-no
matter who, for the sole purpose OF de-
featlng Mr.. Jones, solely and only bt-
cause he leads them in fight purely
upon the merits Of the case, But the
present indications are that these tac-
Tics will not win. Mr.. Jones is too TAI
IN the lead.
