Profitable Pumpkin Crons.

The time has gone by when the pump
kin was only planted among potato or
corn as catch crop, with the hope, as
we have often heard farmers say, that
the corn would be so vigorous as to keen
the pumpkin crop in the background.
Grown by themselves, on land that did
not produce pumpkins the previous
year, the pumpkin crop is as profitable
as most grown on the farm. The crop
should never be grown twice in success
sion on the same land. 1t will be inn
possible to keep it free from the stink
ing pumpkin bug that will eat out q
plant very quickly if given the chance.

allowed to grow from the spur and the
vine is then complete. In pruning
thereafter each year the shoot farthest
from the arm is cut out entirely, and
the other shortened to two eyes. After
years of this pruning the spurs elon-
gate and it is then better to grow a
strong shoot next the center and cut out
the old arm and start over again.
In training a vine on the renewal
system, shown in No. 2, the bearing
wood of the first year should be cut
away in winter, as at A and B, and two

But now the music changes. Youths
glad symphony is lost in the wild major
chords of passion: Note dashes against
note like hail against pane. All the
| tumult of the mountains, the forest, the
roaring: stream when storms rive the
heavens, is sounded in that mad chro-
matte ascending to its climax.
All of natures after-pennance
breathes in the signing minor of the
| descending scale. Surely that was
human sob that rang through the room;
fellow mortal's burst of sympathy.
No, it was just the old fiddle, who
''knew things cause she'd been lynn so
long ag'in his heart
| And now from out her quivering
strings she sends forth melody so d.
vinely pure, so UNNECESSARILY sweet, the
coolest ear must open to greet it.
In 1T are the prayers of mothers, the
| tears of wives, the sobs of little chill
dren-all of unlanguaged pain, all of
unlanguaged love- :,
1t is the echo of that song which
| beats forever against the throne of God,
| in tender, tireless cadence-the united
voices of many women pleading for the
souls of men.
The violin slips from the governors
hands and his head sinks upon his
| breast.
The old fiddle has ''told her story
| straight"
When witnesses were found who COR
! roborated the statements of the pris-
oner. and Jail wardens certified to 20
years of exemplary behavior inside the
prison walls, the governor sent for Alb
ner Hill to be brought to his private
office.
The day he expected him be placed
the violin in conspicuous position on
the desk.
| There was ushered into his pres
ence a tall, angular man with the worn
face and STOPPING shoulders of three
score years., hair scanty, muscles fab
| by, eyes dull; nothing to bespeak youth
but the faint red that crept into his
sunken cheek when the servant an
nounced his name. A single stroke of
sin and its ALTERNATING on the brain
had done the work of twice 20 years,
| He stood inside the door with down
| cast eyes and nervous, futtering hands.
| The governor called his name, and
some thing in the kindly accents gave
him courage to look up. 'z=..5
Something, else in the hornely, hui
morous face that no man ever looked
into without loving gave him courage
to speak, and his eye caught sight ,of

PoONING GRAPEviNeS.
Three Popular Methods Fully DC.
IL scfibed and Illustrated :

: After planting vine, use stakes the
first two seasons. Cut the plant back
two or three eyes and allow but one bud
to grow the first year. The cane should
then be cut back to within two eyes OF
the last cut. The next season train the
new shoots up to canes. The method
of spur-pruning is shown in No. 3
When growth begins, nearly every bud
will make an upright shoot, some will
have to be rubbed off so as to have the
spurs about ten inches apart. The
shoots left will each bear bunch or two

The more the happiness you give away.

Fighting Powers Of the Kanraroo.

Fighting Powers of the Kangaroo.
The hind legs Of the kangaroo are
powerful weapons. One long claw, hard
as bone or steel, and sharp as knife.
at the point, gives the kangaroo an i'm
plement that can kill a man or beast
with one blow. The front paws are
not 80 strong, but an old fellow has
strength enough in them to seize a dog
and hold him in a helpless position.
When chased into the water they will
sometimes seize dog and hold him
until the hind claws can cut him nearly
in two. They are also good boxers,
and when the natives attempt to kill
them with clubs they dodge the imple-
ment with all the skill of a profession
al pugilist, and unless the man is an
expert he may get the worst Of the en-
counter. Quite number Of hunters
have been severely injured, and some
killed, by attempting to corner a
wounded kangaroo when enraged by
bullet wound. It is much better to bring
the animal down with the rifle bullet,
and be sure that he is dead before ap-
preaching too close. The heetest horse
cannot keep pace with the larger spe-
cies of kangaroos, but with a little
tact the hunters are enabled to capture
them whenever they are sighted.
When the creatures are once started on
a run, they will not swerve from their
course, but continue straight on leap
ing over bushes, rocks, and all ordinary
obstacles. The hunters generally sta
ton themselves in the line that the an
imals are most likely to pursue, and
then wait until the dogs or the rest Of
the party start them up. Several fly
ing shots can thus be obtained, and if
one is accustomed to the work he will
bring down one or more Of the fine
creatures.

LImltatIop Of enc Rubber Supply.

People familiar with the conditions
under which the world is supplied
with rubber say there is reason to fear
that the destruction of the trees pro-
ducing this precious substance is pro-
ceeding at a rate which may have dis
asterous consequences in the near flu
ture. That the price of the raw gum
has not advanced more rapidly than
it has in the last few years is due, they
say, not to an intelligent cultivation
and multiplication of the rubber trees,
but to the complete lack of foresight
that characterizes the inhabitants Of
the South American forests. The sud-
den vogue Of bicycles and the universal
use of electricity have vastly increased
the demand for rubber, and so far the
demand has been met without trouble,
but the present chief source of supply
is limited, and unless new ones are
found, or new methods adopted, sew
eral great industries may soon be SER
iously embarrassed. Rubber is a sub
stance as nearly unique and as diff
cult to replace as is known to men.
Fortunately, however, it is produced
by more than one plant, and the utili-
zation of new species has already be-
gun. None of them compares with two
found in the valley of the Amazon,
but commercially important quantities
of the gum come from each Of a dozen
plants growing in almost as many
tropical lands. The Landophilia, a
climbing vine of Central Africa, seems
to be most likely Of them all to take
the place of the Brazilian trees if the
latter are doomed to extinction.

shorter total distance and other runs
Of this class have been made with
heavier loads; but taken as a feat Of INST
passenger travel for the given dis
lance it stands today as an altogether
unrtyaled performance. There Is a
special merit attaching to this perform
ance from the fact that 1t was called
for at the shortest notice, and the rail-
road Ased the engines which were read
Sest at hand, Moreover, the object OF
the effort was not to gain the notoriety
which attaches to run of this kind,
but 1t was the thoroughly legitimate
one of placing a father as quick
~ as possible at the bedside Of his
dying son- The journey was made in
a special car, which was hauled by nine
different engines. The greater part Of
the work was accomplished with stan
dard American six-wheeled locomotives
with II by "a inch or Is by "a inch
cylinders, and Weighing about $4,000
pounds. One stretch Of 81 miles were
covered with a mogul locomotive with
IS by "a inch cylinders, and 1876 pounds
Of steam, whose weight was 10000
pounds; and for 143 miles Of the trip
a ten wheeled locomotive, weighing
10000 pounds, with 10 by "a inch cyl
inders, and 1856 pounds Of steam, was
employed. 1t is noticeable that none
of the driving wheel centers are above
81 inches-a remarkably small dimen-
sion, considering the high speed that
was maintained. The Denver station
was 4,5SS feet above the level Of the
Chicago station, and the total time oc-
cupied In covering the 1,O26 miles be-
tween the two points was IS hours 50
minutes. This gives an average speed
of 54.27 miles per hour, inclusive OF
stops. The average speed, exclusive Of
stops, was 57.5S miles per hour.

pense, but the telephone puts him in
instant touch with the man on deck
overhead. To increase tho effective
ness Of this method of communication
helmet has been designed, which en-
Rbles the diver to hear everything that
Is said by the attendant without any
special demands on his attention. The
receiver is so fitted inside the helmet
that It comes over his left ear, and the
transmitter is just over his head. His
hands are thus entirely unhampered,
and he can carry on a conversation
while in the midst of his work. The
circuit is formed by two wires, the
lines running through the centre Of
MANILA rope attached to the helmet.
ThRgs are made just as easy for the
man on deck. The whole of this little
Kit is contained in a box, which is
strapped t" his body, so that his hands
are free. The contents of this box are
an induction coil and all the accessor-
les for telephoning, including four
cells Of battery. A small switch on
the deck set cuts in the batteries for
both. When the diver is not talking
to the man on deck, and wants to at
tract his attention, all he has to do is
to jerk his life line. In this way the
diver is relieved of all the concern
about the apparatus; the man on deck
runs the exchange" The gain in
speed which the telephone gives in the
apparatus is insignificant, the deck set
being only four pounds, and the divers
set adding only eight ounces to the
weight of the helmet.
