Ringing Grapes.

From Farmers Review This proc ess is the removal of small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstruetlng the down. ward flow of sap, which is thereby caused to accumulate in excessive quantities in the portions of the cane above the ring, and to supply these portions richly with food materials. Experiments were tried last summer to test the results of ringing on sew eral varieties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June 21 and July 5. when the grapes were from one-third to one-half grown. The width of the ring removed in most cases was one-half inch, but on some canes only one-fourth inch. The fol- lowing notes taken at the time of rip enIng indicate the results on each variety:
 Concord showed the first on the ringed canes to be slightly larger and a day or two in advance of the fruit of the rest of the vine.
 Cambridge showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be larger, of better quality and two or three days earlier than that on other canes.
 Brighton showed no difference tn quality or size, but three days differ ence in earliness.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size. the berries averaged one-fifth larger on the ringed than on the unrlnged canes, while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines.
 Agawain showed only a slight differ ence in size and earliness.
 Herbert showed no difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moore's Early showed no perceptibie difference in size, quality or earliness.
 Niagara showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be two days earlier and slightly superior in quality to that on the unringed canes
 } The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the ringed than on the l unringed canes, but showed the best fruit where only small section of the bark had been removed.
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark overgrew the sections from which 1t had been re moved. Where the bark oyergrows the section about the time tue first begins to ripen the surplus food ma terial in the cane is drawn away into the lower parts of the vine and the fruit ripens with only normal quan- tity Of food material present. If the section is not overgrown, the excess Of food remains, the fruit is forced to ripen with this excess on hand. and hence ripens improperly. The width of the section of bark to be removed should vary according to the vigor Of the cane and the variety. On strong canes of vigorous varieties three fourths of an inch is not too much while on feeble varieties one-fourth or an inch may be sufficient.
 Tomato Fertilizers.-Nit of soda is usually very beneficial to the tomato plant in early stages of growth. Later, potash and phosphoric acid both may be used. Just before setting the to- matoes, 200 lb. per acre of the follow ing mixture might be applied: 100 lb. of nitrate of soda, 100 ID. of dissolved rock, and 25 lb. of muriate of potash. Thoroughly incorporate with the soil. Country Gentleman.

Another refugee, who is a big strong
man, but did not have the nerve to
stay TO help maintain quarantine, is
reported as telling the people of Rich

purpose Of giving any assistance that
may be needed
With the police force divided in this
manner it is expected that much good
work can be accomplished. The police
men who arc stationed in the city have
not relaxed their vigilance and the ar
engagements for protecting the citizens
against the work of criminals are just
