An Indian maiden from the Mescalero
Agency while in town this week, sat
down on the depot platform, took off her
shoes and stockings and turned the
stockings wrong side out. When asked
by Fatty" the switchman, what she
was doing that for, the maiden politely
informed him her feet were hot and she
was turning the hose on them.

LENGTH OF GRApEv1NEs.

On our rich prairie soil they may be
allowed to run twenty feet or more WITH
benefit. Those who grow grapes on
sandy or clay soils usually set the vines
six to eight feet apart and trim them
up to stakes, keeping them pruned back
to five or six feet in length. For a time
l followed that plan, but in very few
years discovered that something was
wrong. Another lot was planted eigh-
teen feet apart and trained along wire
fence, and in just four years the vines
! covered the fence from end to end, and l
have gathered hundreds Of pounds Of
great clusters of the finest grapes one
could desire from them. keep them
pruned so they do not overlap each 9TH
er. and never saw grapes do better. On
our black rich soil the grape must have
an abundance Of room. Close pruning
will destroy 1t.
The best way to propagate a fine
grape. or any other grape for that mat
ter is by layering. Dig trench about
four inches deep. and lay one of the
vines in it and cover with earth. The
spurs or branches OF the vine should be
allowed to stick up out OF the ground,
and each one Of them will make a fine
vine for setting out next spring. From,
a single vine l have obtained a dozen
good plants.-Fred Grundy.

SUGAR AS GOOD.

ability of such result is already di-
recting the attention of the principal
gar-producing countries toward some
sure means of preventing a glut by in
lcreasing domestic consumption. Novel
and Interesting experiments along this
line have already been conducted by
scientists TO prove and illustrate that
sugar has great value. both as a hui
man and as an animal food. 1t is be-
tSlieNed that satisfactory demonstra-
tion OF this fact would lead to the
adoption Of sugar as an army ration
