TILE CUTTING TOOL.

tile hammer it is less trouble to cut
the holes wherever you want them. In
connecting laterals, most persons cut
hole, or get tile with holes in them,
and stick the end of the connecting
tile into the hole, but never do that.
Dor allow it to be done on work under
my supervision. The connecting tile
~ must be cut to fit against the tile
connected to, on an angle (see and 81.
The hole should be cut the full size of
the inside of 2, which will be an egg
shape, the small end upstream. ]
also cut the tile on all curves to fit as
close as other joints (see ~.
A soft tile is not the best tile to cut,
and I promptly discard cracked tile.
Select well-burnt tile, that will ring
when struck with hammer. Cut holes
near the middle of the tile. In cutting
the connecting tile (2), leave part of
the end full, as shown, instead of cut
ting it to thin edge. Except in pick
ing small hole through tile to start
with, the poll of the hammer is gen
orally used. The edges should be kept
sharp. No patent on this hammer;
free to all. - S. F. Moore, in Ohio

GRAPEVINE CULTURE.
and the Distance At Which to
Set the Plants.

In preparing the land for grape
vines, pillow the ground deeply, and, if
possible, subsoil. Then pulverize the
ground thoroughly to give the small
roots all the chance possible to develop.
1t is best to set the vines not nearer to-
gether than eight feet. The holes in
which the vines are set should be each
two feet square and from 10 to 20
inches deep. If large number of vines
are to be set, the land should be pre-
viously marked off, so that the rows
of vines will be straight both ways; as
this both improves the looks of the
field and makes it easier to cultivate,
One grape grower advises to keep the
surface soil separate from the subsoil
when digging the holes, and to put
back this surface dirt first when filling
up the holes. This will give the roots
a good medium in which to develop.
Once we'll rooted and growing, the vine
can sendfits roots into the less con-
genial soil without experiencing back
set. In the fall, in regions where win
ter protection is needed, this may be
obtained by blowing furrow on each
side of the row and throwing the dirt
up toward the vines. In the spring this
dirt must be leveled to admit of even
culture. The vines may be staked and
tied to the stakes till they are two years
old, when they may be fastened to wires
strung between the posts.-Farmers'

What Butter Makers Want.

Some papers insist that the butter
makers want to tax cleo out of ex-
istence, and are going too far, says the
Reporter. There should be no misap-
prehension on this point. The butter
men do not ask that oleomargarine be
taAed out of existence. On the con-
trary, the law they support reduces
the tax on oleomargarine from two
cents a pound to. one-fourth cent.
What they do ask is that oleomarga,
rine, plus butter color, be taxed ten
cents pound, and they do this in or
der to render it impossible to sell it
fraudulently as and for butter and at
butter prices. It is assumed that some
people really want oleo. The OUTER
man will put no straw in the way of
their getting it, but will insist that
they shall not be fooled into buying
it.for butter at butter prices.

Bees the Fruitman,s Aida.

The necessity of cross-pollination of
fruit bloom is a subject that should
never be considered threadbare Prof.
Cook says his sister in California was
wondering, in 1891, why her fruit trees
were not bearing as we'll as usual. The
trees bloomed, but the fruit did not set.
Mr.. Cook suggested that it might be
caused by decrease in the number of
bees, and accordingly an apiarist was
engaged to remove his bees to the
place, and at once there was marked
benefit. She has kept the apiary there
ever since. She feels that she can af-
ford to pay for the presence of the bees,
and she is right. While other insects
might help pollination, this incident
shows that bees are the thing for the
business, and that in their absence the
hope of good fruit crop rests on a
