BUILDING A CELLAR.

Barn Situated ON n Northern

Many farms are so located that q
barn cellar with a southern exposure
is out of the question, since the land
where the barn is, or is TO be, located
slopes to the north. 1t is ont of the
question II one must follow the usual
plan for obtaining barn cellars, where
plenty of winter sunshine is needed, but

the sun shines very freely, although the
barn sets on level with the ground in
front of it. If it were raised the height
of the usual underpinning the sun
would have a still better chance to
enter the cellar. The latter extends out
beyond the barn on the south side, to
give room for a succession of sloping

Serious results often follow a strain,
especially when il affects the back, and
few people are so liable to strain as those
who are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa-
miliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts so as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
it is different. He is lifting loads of such
varying weights aud under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift a
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
great organs Of the body originate In a
strain. 1t was so in the case of H. r. W.
Bentley, of Towner, North Dakota, A
strain resulted in serious trouble with the
liver. How he recovered and was enabled
to feed seventy head of stock during the
winter, let him tell himself:
about year ago, I sustained an injury
IN my back and shoulders by lifting a
heavy weight. After time, liver trouble
came on, which SO weakened me that
could scarcely lift my hand to my head.
While in this condition, 1 began the use of

TRAINING THE GRAPES.
The Hudson Horizontal system De-
scribed and Explained by
Prof. r.. &. LOdeman.

This typical form of horizontal grape
training may be found in number of
Vineyards situated near the Hudson
river. The stem of the vine is about
Is inches high. From its upper part a
zane is carried to the top of the trellis,
and then it is bent toward one side and
tied to the top wire of the trellis. 1t
is made long in order that the plant
may be supplied with a proper num-
Der of buds. The trellis carries only
two wires, the lowest being about two
and one-haf feet from the ground, the
top one about three feet above the first.
These wires are not designed to bear
directly the weight of the vines, but
Stats are fastened to them, and these
slats support much of the weight OF the
fruit and foliage. One Stat, lath, is
placed on each side of the vine and
about a foot from it. The lath is
stapled so that only few inches pro-
Iect below the lower vine, while about
foot extends above the upper. AS
the shoots in early summer become
long enough to allow of their being
tied to these upright Stats, they are
so fastened as to be held in practically
4 horizontal position. Frequently two
more Stats are used, one being placed
about ~ inches from each of those at
first put on; eventually the shoots are
also tied to these; such upright pieces
should be considered as forming an
integral part of the trellis. They are
firmly staped to the wire, and remain
there until they decay or become
broken.
Notifications of this system are
found both in American and European
vineyards. In the Hudson river val
ley the vertical Stats are sometimes
absent, but two or three extra wires
on the trellis answer the same pur-
pose. AS the shoots from the upright
cane develop they cling to the wires
without the aid Of summer tying, or
at most but very little of this work is
done. The shoots in consequence do
not assume perfectly horizontal
position, but they ascend at an angle
of about As degrees. The bearing
portion of the vine is renewed each
year. In several of the large vine
yards of the Midoc, near Bordeaux
France, system is found that is sim
liar. in many respects, to the Hudson
system. The one essential difference is
that the upright cane is there per-
manent, and it forms vertical arm,
or Gordon, which is spurred from each
side, the spurs being kept as short as
possible.
The shoots which annually grow
from these spurs are fastened hori-
zontally to the wires of the trellis, the
number of wires varying from four to
six or more, as the vigor of the plants
may require; the distance between the
wires is from IL to Is inches. This sys-
tenn is equivalent 10 vertical Gordon,
form which is commonly used on walls
and in certain greenhouses. 1t has also
been termed an upright stock with
alternate spurs" the description of the
system being fairly well included in the
name.

Cheap Electric Light,

In spite of the fact that Chicago is
generally associated with the idea of
municipal ownership in the considera-
tion of all questions of public light
ing, it is fact that the city depends
upon central station companies for
considerable current to operate street
lights, particularly in the southern
part of the city. Two of the COM
panies, the Peoples Electric Light
and Power company and the Hyde
Park Electric Light and Power com
pany, have been engaged in a spirited
rate-cutting war for some time, and
wherever the lines of both companies
were to be found the people secured
their service at very small cost. The
city controller, becoming cognizant of
this fact, determined to secure some
advantage for the city, and he has
accordingly asked both companies to
bid upon the city lighting for the
district which they occupy. Western

A Poultry Culture Truism.

Never forget this in poultry culture:
The pullet that commences to lay
earliest in life is the one to lay the
largest number of eggs through life,
as cattle that have the milk producing
organs active early make the best cows.
Select the fast-growing, early matur-
ing specimens that present the full
type and size found in the breed; and
use only these as breeders, and the
egg producing merits will be in
creased. We have reported the won
derful product in single specimens,
which can be made true to fock.
But it is care and attention to the flock
that finds and secures these merits in
The progeny. Neglect and haphazard
breeding never pays.

Fall Pruning of Grapeyines,

For many reasons the heavy annual
pruning which is necessity for the
grapevine had best be given in the
fall. So soon as the leaves are off, the
cutting away of superauous wood may
remain. There can be no bleeding, as
the cut will dry up at once. There is
some circulation of sap all through the
vine during warm weather in winter.
Pruning in the fall concentrates this
sap in the buds that are left, and they
always push more vigorously than
when the vines are left dangling on
the trellises all winter As soon as
the pruning is done, the support of
the main vine should be loosened,
and it should be thrown on the ground.
In most cases snow will be enough
protection, but if the vine is where the
snow blows away, some straw held
down by slight covering of earth will
be needed. Vines thus treated will
winter without injury, however low
the mercury may fall. The vines
should be put up on the trellis in
spring so soon as danger from late
frosts has passed. If the vines are
uncovered except by snow, put them
up as soon as the snow melts. Lying
on the. ground and protected from
winds, the buds might push too early
and be injured. They are not liable
to this ON the trellis. American Gull
