RlnRing Grapes.

From Farmers Review:-This proc ess is the removal of small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstructing 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 sev- eral varieties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June 27 and July 5, when the grapes were from one-third to one-halt 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 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 im 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 unringed canes, while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines.
 Agawain showed only 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 perceptibls 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 unringed canes, but showed. the best fruit where only a small section of tha 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 overgrows 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 ths fruit ripens with only normal quan- tity of food material present. If the section is not overgrown, the excess ot food remains, the fruit is forced ts 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 ot 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 oi an inch may be sufficient.

The child Is crying for food" 'eBut,'' said the mother, it has all the food it will take" The question of starva- ton" replied the doctor, is not how much food is taken but how much is as- simulated and goes to nourish the body"
 Pain in the body is often only the out cry of starvation. You eat enough but the stomach is not doing it's work, and the nervous system Is starving. Put the stomach right and the pains will cease, together with the uncomfortable conse- quences of the condition. There is no medicine made which can equal Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the quiekness of its action OH the stom- ach. It cures diseases of the digestive and nutritive system, increases the ac- ton of the blood-making glands, and so induces proper and perfect distri- button of the necessary nourishment to blood and bone, nerve and muscle throughout the whole body.

seat.
Feaster's remarks about the
Star emphasized the old adage
about the hit dog.
He then said he had a ma jority
of thirteen of the registered vo-
ters in the third district, dead
and alive, and under the law the
commissioners had to act, as the
word "may," interpreted by the
supreme court, read "must.'
Feaster then broke out against
those opposing his petition and
what they had told the darkies,
namely: that if Feaster got his
petition, then they could not
even fish with a hook and line.
He called all erasers nonentl-
ties.
e. L. Carney, who presented
most of the dissenting petitions,
remarked that he could tell what
stories were in circulation in re-
gard to what Feaster said, but
he was not there for that pur-
pose, but to show that those
Withdrawing their names from
Feaster's petition made it a NIL
nority petition and hence 1T fell to
the ground.
The board then suggested that
the seine question be referred
back to the people. This General
Bullock and Mr.. Carney opposed,
insisting that Feaster's petition,
failing to have the requisite num-
Der OF signatures, be rejected,
and on motion it was so ordered.
The number of registered vo-
ters IN this precinct IS 661; names
on Feaster's petition, 331.
General Bullock had the fig
ures to show that $50 persons
had signed counter petitions
against granting Feaster a per-
NIT to seine, only five of whom
could not sign their names,
while most of Feaster's signers
made their marks.
No one can deny Feaster's
right to get up new petition re-
questing the privilege of seining
Lake Weir, and he says he Will
do this and get the requisite num-
Der of signers, but the impress
sion prevails that it was only a
"Feaster bluff" yet if the best
citizens of the third district wish
to protect their rights and pri VI
leges and keep seines out of Lake
| Weir, they had better be IN the
field early and notify the voters
Of the matter at issue.
Much interest was evlnced IN
the Feaster petition and a large
crowd was IN the court house
during the disposal of the same.
A petition. which was filed for
information, was read, asking
that the proposed hard road
from Ocala to Silver Springs be
built on the most direct route.
Belleview's sub-school district
estimate showed that 1T was vo-
ted to assess three mills for
school purposes, or a total of
1925.
Mcleod then expressed his
views on school taxation and
thought two and a half mills
enough; that every man of voting
age be made to pay his poll tax
or work a month on the high
ways. He said the colored tax
payer did not appreciate what
the white man was doing for him
to educate his children, while he
Shlrked IN every possible way to
get out of paying his taxes.
| Willis Willowby of near West
Lake Weir, appeared IN behalf
of his aged mother, Eliza Moorer,
tor county aid. He said that
since the freeze he had had
hard time providing for his own
family and asked the county to
help HIM to care for his mother.
She was given So for one month,

hibition in order that parents and
teachers may examine the work being
done. The work has been carefully
classified, graded and bound so that
each set of papers may be intelligently
examined. Ask the children about t..
The teachers will gladly welcome you,
and you will be well repaid for the
time and effort required to attend.
Come early so you will have plenty of
time to examine the work on exhibi-
tion.

Cuban Women in Mourning.

If there is one sight more pitiful
than any other it is the women in
black. Frequent as they are in Havana
where perhaps in some remote part OF
the city they even venture TO hold out
their nands to you as they pass-wom-
EN- of refined appearance, too-the
women in widows weeds are the com
nronest sight in the small towns and
cities. 1t is hard to tell where they
got their mourning garments. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that of dozen
women on the street in any Cuban viii
lage nine will be in mourning. And
their faces are sad with grief and thin
with hunger even months after the
war had ceased.--Harper's Weekly.

Dreyfus Postal Cards.

A number of bales of postal cards
containing $500 cards in all, have been
seized at a Paris railway depot on ac-
count of their bearing on the back
photographed sketches of Devils Is
land and of the hut in which Dreyfus
is confined. The cards belonged to a
Dutch manufacturer, whose idea was
to send them to Cayenne and have
them dispatched back to Europe
through the post on the day that Drey-
fus was released. These cards, bear
ing the obliterated stamp of French
Guiana, would then have high value
for collectors. The sketches on the
cards were drawn from nature by Jean
Hess, an explorer and writer on the
Figaro, who sold them to Ine Dutch
man for the purpose to which they
have been put
