CULTURE OF GRAPES.
How to Get the Very Largest Clusters
Of Fruit, and the Most Com
pact n Well.

z In my county. st. Joseph, are raised,
according to good authorities, some OF
the very best grapes that have ever
been grown. This is the result OF
careful selection of varieties, thor
ough cultivation and methods which
keep the grapes free from insect and
fungous pests. This work must be.
gin before the vineyards are set out.
After securing a proper location
plow the ground deeply, subsoiling il
possible. Harrow, pulverize and drag
until the soil is. thoroughly mellowed
then mark off the land eight feet
each way and dig holes two feet

intersections of these markings.
When digging these holes, keep the
subsoil and the surface soil separate,
and when setting, put the surface
soil in the bottom of the hole and
then fill up with the subsoil. In the
fall protect the vines by blowing a
furrow or two on each side of the
row and throwing the dirt up toward
the vines. In the spring cultivate this
ground down again, for level culture
is the best practice. Drive stake for
each vine and tie the vines to this,
keeping them as straight as possible.
When the vines are large enough I
advocate putting them upon wire trel-
Uses. Keep the vines cultivated
throughout the season just as thor
oughly and carefully as a bed of
strawberries. BY the time they are
two years old set posts 30 feet apart
and put up wires, Place the first wire
% to "a inches from the ground, the
next 30 inches above it. These two
are all that are necessary.
Prune the vines so as to have two
arms or main side branches at the
lower wire. BY the time they reach
the upper wire two more arms will
be available. At the age of four years
the vines are so pruned as to have
eight arms on each side. Keep the
new wood as close to the old stalk
as possible. Leave seven to nine buds
on each arm of new wood. As the
vine gets older 1t may become dis
eased in the stalk. If this should hap
pen, start new shoot from below the
diseased spot and develop other arms.
BY this method of pruning am able
to produce, during favorable seasons,
36A tons of the very finest grapes
on five acres. do my thinning when
I do my pruning; that is, by judicious
pruning the fruiting of the vine is
restricted. thus get the very larg-
est clusters and the most compact
ones possible. AS to varieties, those
most extensively sold in the markets
here are Worden, Niagara, Brighton,
Concord, Agawam, Moore's Early,
Hartford, Champion, Pockington, En-
pire State, Diana and Delaware.
In harvesting the grapes, use the
small blade of a pocketknife to clip
of the clusters. They are at once
packed in eight-pound baskets. For
the home market I do not use covers,
but put from II to 13 pounds In a
basket. This basket costs about 31S
cents, and by putting in this
amount there will be-. a great saw.

the warfare Against Insects.

There are about so different kinds
of insects that attack garden crops,
while nearly 200 kinds attack the vine
yards and orchards. Different species
are attracted to the plants suited to
the wants Of their offspring, and are
sometimes repealed by orders which
to them, indicate danger. The kero.
.sene emulsion should always contain
: small proportion Of crude carbolic
acid, which will add to Its efficiency
by it's powerful odor. ..

An Expert Thinks the Copper Me-

Paul johnson. the well-known smelling
man, has been interviewed by the New
York Times on the Boundary. country. Mr..
Johnson attributes its remarkable growth
to the completion of the Canadian Pacific
railroad from Robson to Greenwood, a

forded an opportunity to develop the rich
mining regions In Washington state and
British Columbia.

Gross and Net Product. of the Payne

most profitable to its owners. 1t has
yielded bullion to gross value Of some
thing like $2000,000, and has paid in divi-
dends nearly 100000, surprising by this
record any other British Columbia mine.
except maybe the lie Roi gold mine of
Rossland. At present, owing to the re-
fusal of the Silver-Lead Miners Associa-
tion to pay the miners ten-hour wage for
the legally limited eight-hour days work,
critics in the SLOGAN district is short Of
underground men. In fact, the manage
ment has only about ten miners at work,
as against the force of 125 employed prior
to the enforcement on June l last of
the new labor law. AS a result, the Payne
company is not shipping any ore at all
at present, but is combining Its operations
