row and runs straight from the en-
trance door to another door opening
into q room, there must be no large or
cumbersome pieces of furniture to fill
the space. The hanging mirror and
hat-rack, a bracket umbrella stand and
a couple Of very small chairs will be
the utmost that can be allowed. One
woman made a very pretty arrange
ment of her hall by using a hat-rack
on either side. The hall was very long.

space that one often sees in such
places. The mirror was in the middle
of the space, and to break the long
stretches on either side there were
family portraits-fine ones-and some
distance below handsome carved wood
bracket shelves. upon each of which
were vases to hold flowers. The idea
was an exceedingly pretty one. and has
been copied by many Of her friends.
On the other side was a handsome
tapestry. and this. with a very good

Hinge Curtains.

Among the minor items of comfort
and convenience are those bits OF drap-
cry called, for convenience sake. hinge
curtains. In every household there
are rooms where the door opens in
such q way that almost an entire view
of the apartment may be commanded
by any one who passes the open portal.
In well-built houses there is a space OF
from one to three inches at the back
of the open door. A hook or button at
or near the upper hinge holds cur
tain that falls to the floor. The cur
tain may be of any material that will
shut out the view. One woman used
mosquito netting with very satisfac-
tory results. 1t is we'll to have 1t
match the window or other draperies,
and, of course, should be so arranged
that it may be taken down at suitable
intervals and laundered. Other small
curtains for shutting out the view are
those provided for screening the lower
parts of windows. In many cases they
are fastened directly to the sash. some
times to the casing on either side.
There are dainty brass buttons. rods
and hooks that make the attachments
more secure, and add to the finished
effect. Window screen curtains are
fastened at the tops and allowed to
hang loose, with a wide hem at the
lower edge, or have a rod or tape and
buttons at the bottom as we'll. 1t Is
often convenient to look out Of the
window, and a curtain that is tightly
drawn soon becomes soiled and drag
ged by continual pulling and straining.

as practiced In the east, may be divid-
ed into two distinct processes. block
ing" and stripping" Blocking con-
sists Of pruning a vine as nearly as
possible without the removal Of any OF
the brush. It requires long experience
to do the work rapidly and well. Inc
primer estimates the probable capacity
Of the vine, compares the values OF the
canes which may serve as bearing
wood the next season. removes those
which are least desirable, and shortens
to their proper length those which are
to remain.
Stripping, as its name suggests. con-
sists of forcibly tearing on the trellis
the several parts Of the vines. These
are thrown between the rows. to be
removed either by wagon or by drag
ging through the vineyard pole ~
to Is feet in length, by means OF q
chain attached to it at q point about
six feet from one end. BY this latter
continuance nearly every cane Is caught
up. Although these two terms apply
particularly to the methods commonly
practiced in eastern vineyards. they
also stand for similar processes where
q vineyard trained upon the horizontal
arm system il under treatment. But
with this system the blocking OF the
vines Is a comparatively easy matter.
Assuming that the vines thus far con-
sidered in detail have passed their third
season Of growth and are in readiness
for their next pruning, the work Is
done as follows: The canes which
have been matured from the buds upon
the arms of the vine must be spurred
back to about too buds each. THIS
doubles the number of buds upon the
plant as compared with the preceding
year, and consequently doubles the
yield for the fourth year. In case the
arms from adjoining plants do not ex-
tend to each other, the cane formed
from the last bud upon the arms must
be bent down to the lower wire and
tied, so as to extend the arm to the
desired length. The framework OF the
vine is then complete, and after strip
ping the vineyard is ready for It's
growth of the fourth season.
The pruning for the fifth season Is
practically the same as for the fourth.
There are, however, two canes to be
shortened where last year there was
but one. The buds may be reduced to
the same number as before by cutting
one cane away entirely and reducing
the other to two buds, or the number
may be increased by leaving both
canes. In this way the number Of buds
may be controlled at will. After the
capacity of the vineyard has been de-
termined the pruning becomes a less
difficult operation. The canes are each
year cut back to the same number OF
buds. as already described. But the
continually frightening branches soor
become unsightly, and they must be re-
newed by young shoots from theil
bases. Occasionally the branches art
allowed to become much longer and
much more irregular. On this account
the system has not become very popu
lar, although, theoretically, it is one o.
the best.

Il has been assumed that the culture
Of max IL very exhaustive to the lAAd.
This theory has been widely held BY
turner's everywhere. yet the investis1-
tons that have been carried on by the
for the past few years snow
ccnclusively that. like many popular
theories, there is nothing to 1t. The
idea that FAX was exhaustive evidently
arose from the fact that 1t grows best
on virgin soil, and because In few
years the soil on which fax has been
repeatedly grown will no longer give .
good fax crop without heavy dressing.
The hasty conclusion was formed thar
this was the result Of soil exhaustion
The true reason Is that the max crop
must obtain about all of its food In
sixty days. and therefore can use only
what plant food Is already prepared IN
the soil at time Of heavy growth. A
part OF this food Is nitrogen. which Is
most abundant in new soils. II tho
max be grown on the same soil for .
number Of years the ready-prepared nj
trogen is partly exhausted and the max
crop fails to that extent.
The facts stated show that max should
be grown only In rotation: that In that
rotation should be clover. The clover
will provide the soil with a goodly sup
ply Of nitrogen and may we'll be fol-
lowed in the rotation by FAX. This TO
tatiOn should be somewhat long. say
hve. six or seven years. 1t takes that
time for the old nax roots. stubble and
straw. If it be put back on the land.
to rot, and it is necessary that all OF
these be thoroughly rotted before new
crop is attempted. For some reason or
other old FAX unrotted in the soil seems
to produce something that is detrimen-
tai to a new crop of fax. Just what
chemical action this decaying straw
has is not yet determined.
The rotations for fax should be 50
arranged as to free the soil from weeds.
This would make it necessary to throw
some hoed or cultivated crop between
the clover and the fax. as putting fax
directly ON top of the turned clover sod
might make a good deal Of trouble with
weeds in the fax. The potato crop Is
considered good one for this purpose
and Is more or less used in that way.
As to soils. a loan we'll supplied with
humus is preferred. Fall blowing is
best, unless the spring blowing can be
done so early that there will be no I'M
rotted fibres in the soil at time of tho
sowing Of the fax. Prepare the seed
bed thoroughly. as the short season OF
growth makes 1t necessary to have the
ground in such fine condition that the
rootlets can work freely and easily. The
time to SOW is about that Of corn. or q
time when the latter will terminate
easily. The seed is covered by the har-
row. II the ground Is rolled the roller
should be followed by the harrow to
break up the crust formed.
As to amount of seed sown much
care must be taken. II seed only Ia
wanted, of course, the sowing should be
light. II fibre is wanted, enough seed
must be sown so that the plant will not
branch much. as the more it branches
the less likely is it to have long. un-
broken fibre. II sown close the stems
run up far without branching and this
| gives a nice long fibre. For seed three
pecks will do. but for fibre it will be
necessary to SOW two or more bushels
| to the acre.
