Pruning should be varied somewhat
to suit the habit of different varieties.
The stronger growing varieties should
have more wood allowed than the
weaker. The vines should not be al
lowed to bear much fruit until strong
enough to grow vigorous canes with
strong laterals. Vigorous laterals de-
velop near their base productive fruit
buds. These laterals are cut back to
from 4-6 buds depending on the age
and strength Of the vine. Allow as
much fruit to set as the vine can sup

braced No. 12 wire is heavy enough
for us. After the vineyard is old
enough to be supported by wire, we
have found it profitable to still contin-
ue to trim the vine late in October or
early November. cutting The canes
loose from the wires, drop them on
the ground with perhaps 2-3 forksful
of straw to each vine, over this place
sufficient soil to keep the wind from
blowing through the straw and driv-
ing out the cane. This protection is
not only beneficial to the canes, but
is Of value in protecting the root sys-
tenn from our dry winters. We re-
gard this protection useful any year,
and absolutely essential for out most
trying winters. Early in April un-
cover the vines rising the canes tie to
wires, using some soft string like
wool twine, soft enough and large
enough not to chafe the cane. 1t will
be found that the vine will remain
dormant longer if taken and tied to
wire than if allowed to remain under
cover of straw or soil.
We have found it profitable in Sa-

and every winter. We can not foretell
when the trials of a severe winter
will have to be endured.

CARE OF THE VINEYARD.

VANE VI tlNEyANO.
At this season of the year we are
receiving inquiries regarding proper
methods of trimming the vineyard, and
what protection, if any, is needed
every winter
Commencing with the first of the
year when planted, grape vines should
be cut back to three or four buds and
allow two or three canes to grow,
also allow these two or three canes
to branch at will The object of the
first season is to obtain such vigorous
growth as will establish good root
system. The larger the amount of
foliage the stronger the root growth,
each corresponding to the other.
Late in October or early November,
the first years growth in the vineyard
should again be cut back to about
four of the most vigorous buds. Our
habit is to throw the growth of the
second year into three canes with
such branches as these canes may de-
velop. Our plan is to ultimately trim
to two wires, the lower wire 24-3O in
ches from the ground, the upper 80
to feet. On soil that has been heav-
lily fertilized, and is naturally very
rich, it might be we'll to have a third
wire Sc feet from the ground with
the thought to give the foliage of the
rampant growing vine more sun and
air.
At the end of the second season in
the vineyard, if cultivation has been
effective, canes from 4-8 feet in
length or longer, have been produced.
Those who give special care quite Of
ten get this growth the first season
after planting.
Where the vine is allowed to grow
at will, so many branches are thrown
out that the roots are weak and the
bunclles small. Weak shoots crowd
each other and there is not room or
sunlight for ALL Pruning is simple
operation if the fundamental princi-
pie on which it rest is kept in mind.
The fruit is borne near the base of
the growing shoots of the season and
the bearing shoot of next season are al
ways from the growth Of this The
intent in cutting away portions of the
vine is to leave only sufficient num-
Der of buds OH canes of the current
seasons growth to give such an
amount Of fruit the coming season as
the age and strength of the vine can
support.

CROPS BY THE ROADSIDE.

rods, take from the cultivated area one
acre for every seventy-nine cultivated
This is the case where the road runs
on the section lines. Where the farms
are smaller much more land is wasted,
perhaps twice as much. The use or
rather misuse of the highways usu-
ally is to grow crop of rank weeds. In
some districts with all energetic over
seer these weeds are cut once year,
too often they faunt their ugliness
and scatter their pernicious seed
through the entire year AS an object
lesson in different parts of the west,
the land owners of neighborhood
have united to improve the landscape
of the highways. This they have
done at small expense by confining the
roadbed to the center of the right of
way, Oh each side they have plowed
and cultivated the old ruts and trails
and seeded them to the tame grasses
Recently we were riding across
the country where the land was roll
ing, when we passed through road
that was not more than ten feet wide,
that is the dirt road. On either side
of the road was fine strip Of alfalfa
that the owner of the land had cut
three times the present year. There
was not weed in sight. There
were no deep gullies on the hills.
The strong growing roots of the al
falfa held the soil and hard rains
were either absorbed in the soil or
ran off without harm 1t may not
be generally known that the party
who owns or leases the land joining
highways has legal right to use for
his benefit so much of this land as
the public does not need to go from
place to place. And that deed or
dedication to the public is in the nat
ure of an easement to enable them to
pass over, rather than vested title.
This being the case, a land owner
need not fear to improve and use that
portion of the highway adjacent to
his land and not needed by the public
for roadbed, as he can enjoy these
improvements. By caring for and re-
claiming the waste land along the
highways large area could be added
to our cultivated acres and the crops
that were gathered from it would be
source of profit.
This system of parking the high
ways would make all of our rural dis
tricts better places to live in and the
dwellers need not come to cities to
find the beauties Of we'll kept drives
and the charm Of trees. Trees set
along the roadway should not be the
large growing kinds like soft maple
and elm, for in time they would en-
tirely shade the road. keepinp the

BIG sIXTEEN-INCH GUN.
Is Nearly Finished and Will b e Sent to
the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo.

It has been decided to send the big
16-inch gun, which has been under con-
struction at the Watervliet arsenal,
n. Y, and which is nearly completed,
to the Buffalo exposition. 1t is the
largest modern gun in the country,
and one of the largest ever built in the
world. There ought to be good deal
OF interest in this gun, which has cost
the government a great deal of money,
and which has represented several
years of hard toll and some unsuc-
cessful attempts to assemble the gun.
The gun has a radius of 21 miles.
Ordnance officers say it is an imprac-
ticable seacoast rifle, and that it can.
not be used with any success in actual
service. It was intended when built
as type gun, and it was expected that
others of the same caliber would be
built, to form formidable battery
in the coast defenses of New York
city.
Since the gun has been under con,
struction, however, the ordnance au
thorities have discovered that it is OF
no more value than the 12-inch gun,
and that probably for purposes of de-
struction shorter range rapid-fire
ordnance will be quite as effective as
the heavier gun.

opening the door he discovered roar,

GERMAN PAYS FOR A KISS,
Little Girl Comes of Age and Forcei
Him to Fulfill a 500 Con-
tract,

A German has just had to pay $1OC
for kiss under peculiar circumstan.
ces. He was sitting in a Paris cafe
with a friend in 1896 when the latter's
daughter came in. She was a pretty
little girl and the German asked for a
kiss. The girl refused.
The German said if she would give
him kiss he would pay her 500 francs
on the day of her majority. The little
girl accepted the contract, to which nu-
merous persons present were witness
es. and the momentous kiss took place.
Recently the girl came of age and de-
manded the fulfllment of the contract.
The German had cooled down since
and refused to pay. Litigation fol-
lowed, and finally the court of appeals
sentenced him to pay up, a mere kiss
not being an immoral contract, and
therefore liable to payment like any
other

SUGAR OF GREAT FOOD VALUE
English Physician Says 1T Creates
Energy and Maintains
Stamina,

An important paper on the dietetic
value of sugar appears in the British
Medical Journal by DR.. Willoughby
Gardner. He says that the worlds
consumption of sugar during the last
Is years has doubled, while that of
Great Britain has trebled per head in
the last 40 years. The English and
Americans head the list as sugar-eat-
ing people.
DR.. Gardner established the fact
that sugar is potent creator of en-
ergy and maintainer of stamina.
This, he contends, is not only proved
by laboratory experiments, but by the
date-eating Arabs, the fine health of
the ugar-cane-eating negroes, and
the results achieved by Alpine climb
ers, arctic explorers, athletes and Ger
man soldiers, who were fed on this
special diet. DR.. Gardner's general
conclusion is that the Increased height
and weight and the improved health
Of the English people lin the last half
century has been largely due to the
increased consumption of sugar.
