PreseryIng Grape Crop.

To those living near large cities the
ease with which grapes may be pro-
cured and the small cost make IL seem
almost not worth the trouble to try TO
secure them from vines OF their own.
But everyone is not so well fixed that
a step into a market house is practi-
cable. Indeed even where it is, there
is good deal of pleasure in eating
your own fruit even though it has cost
as much or more than it could be pro-
cured for. There is no difficulty in
securing a crop of fruit in these days.
Between spraying and bagging, crop
can be safely relied on. Unless where
foliage blights badly, bagging alone
is sufficient. Just as soon as Towering
is over and the embryo bunch can be
discerned, slip common grocer
paper bag over it. Fold the mouth
close about the stem, pinning the ends
together. to make all secure, and moth
ing nore is to be done until You are
ready to eat the fruit in autumn.
What is puzzling to many is that the
fruit in these bags is just as perfect in
color as it would have been fully ex-
posed to the sun and light. Better
than this, it is more perfect in this
that the fruit is possessed OF beauti-
full bloom, nothing disturbing it in the
bags. In many states nothing more
is required than this bagging, as the
foliage does not suffer either from
fungi or insects to any extent. Narie-
ties Of grapes with foreign blood in
them, such as Rogers seedlings, are
much more apt to suffer in foliage than
are those of pure native origin, and
these kinds are greatly benefited by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture two
or three times throughout the season.
Those who grow grapes in vineyards
especially for marketing purposes rely
on spraying altogether, commencing
the work as soon as the towering is
over and continuing until the fruit is
full grown and about to color. To
many one bagging will be much the
easier and more satisfactory way.

The man who is known as the fla
yorer" in the tobacco trade has a high.
grade position, since he has few com
petitors. He is responsible for the fla
yor of all grades Of goods made, and
sees TO 1t that the flavor Is kept the
same year in and year out; /, matters
not where the tobacco that goes In
them comes from or the condition uni
der which 1t has grown. By his art and
skill he can make tobacco that grows
on low lands taste and smell the same
as that grown on high lands. He can
make tobacco grown during a dry sea-
son take the same flavor as that grown
during a rainy season. Tobacco grown
at different ends Of the same State. or
in different States, are by his treat
ment the same, as far as the consumer
IL concerned. AS may be imagined
there are not many who are competent

In a Quandary.

The number and variety of knives
and forks that now grace well-equp-

dsmay one unused to such n varie-

There are forks for the oyster, for the

for anything else that may be served.
There aTc also knives to correspond TO
the forks that may be needed. These
implements that social convention de.

'midable rows on either side of the

Western maiden at her first Eastern
dinner surveyed her supply of knives

which 1t was intended that they should
be used, but nothing in her experience

There are several varieties OF vermin
that infest your poultry premises and
all of them make it uncomfortable for
your fowls.
1t is absolute cruelty to allow your
poultry to wrestle with yermin;
thorough cleaning once and while
will give them comfort, and this they
need to be profitable.
Now is the time to make incessant
war upon the yermin about the poultry
premises. Clean well, whitewash and
fumigate. 1t means health and hap
piness to your fowl.
Clean your poultry house inside and
out; clean the yard and whitewash
everything. II the vermin pest is dis
lodged now your fowls will prove
profitable, if not they will be bill of
expense during the fall and winter
This is the season of the year that
poultry pests multiply most rapidly.
BY making war ON these now they
may be kept down but ii allowed 10
run riot they will get such hold that
they will annoy your fowls all winter
and winter laying will be out of the
question.

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News For the
Ruralist
SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
Accommodations That may
Benefit Our Readers.

Even after the most painstaklng
efforts have been made to produce good
milk the quality of the product can be
seriously damaged by rough handling
saws Il writer in the Montana Farmer.
The fragile character OF lacteal mud
should always he considered, and 1t
should never be stirred or agitated
violently while being aerated.
Gentle dipping or better yet, letting
it fall in fine streams from a height
will cool and air it effeetually without
damaging its integrity.
Milk should never be carried over
rough roads in springless wagon to
the factory. To do SO is to cause
partial churning of the fluid, which
units it for either perfect cheese or
butter making.
Even in cheese making | always
handle and stir milk with the greatest
care, so as not to separate the lat
globules from the casein or more serl-
Gus yet, to rupture the delicate giob-
ules. causing them to liberate their
quota of butter.
This latter result is more likely to
happen, however, by the oyerheating
of milk than from any other cause.
Some domestic butter makers have a
habit, bad one, OF scalding their
milk before setting it away for cream
ing. The object OF this is to hasten
the rising OF cream, but while 1t may
do that it also melts a portion OF the
fat. resulting in subsequent rancid
flavor and poor keeping quality OF
butter.
1t is usually not wise to leave the
care of milk on the farm to hired help,
unless that help is perfectly reliable
and experienced. In nearly all in
stances OF dairy failure | find that the
proprietor is taking a half-hearted in
terest in his business or leaving 1t to
+ subordinates to manage. My earnest
advice is, do not attempt dairying un-
less you can and are willing to person.
ally supervise its details.
Push and energy in dairyman will
accomplish wonders, even if he is not
entirely scientific.
Keep watch of your milk from the
moment it leaves the udder until it is
deposited in the mandatory or is
manufactured by yourself.
Handle it as you would eggs, or you
will never secure perfect results.
Don't think that your duty ends at
the milking stool, for on the correct
care of milk hinges, TO great extent,
dairy prosperity.
What we need is an increase in
painstaking dairymen, as well as in
lacteally prolific cows.

A Lake That Eats Boats.

A strange lake exists in the center of
Sulphvr island off New Zealand. 1t is
80 acres IN extent. about II feet In
depth and Is feet above the level of the
sea.
The most remarkable characteristic
of this lake is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and sui
phuric acids kissing and bubbllng at a
temperature of 10 degrees +.
The dark green colored water looks
particularly uninviting. Dense clouds
Of sulphurlc fumes constantly roll of
this boiling ealdron, and care has to be
exercised In approaching this lake to
avoid the risk of suffocation. On the
opposite side of the lake may be seen
the tremendous blowholes, which,
when in full blast, present an awe in
spring sight.
The roar of the steam as 1t rushes
forth into the air Is deafening, and
often huge powders and stones are
hurled out TO a height of several hun
dred feet by the various internal forces
of nature.
A boat can be launched on the lake,
and II proper care be observed the very
edges Of the blowholes may be safely
explored.
Some idea of the strength Of the acid
saturated water of this lake may be
gathered from the fact that boat al
most dropped to pieces after all the
passengers had been landed, as the
rlvets had corroded under the influence
of the acids.

NOT Well Assorted.

Marriage is In any case a difficult ar

of human pairs sometimes feel the
chafings of restraint. and the clash of
wills. If this be so with those who are
well assorted, and who know 1t, how
great must be the necessity for the
careful exclusion from marriage of all
unnecessary causes of division and mis-
understanding And, among the I'M
necessary causes, few are more self
evident than differences of social stat

he is inclined now and again to de

vulgarity will have to be lived with

stances. The man who marries wife

he has greater freedom in seeking
