GRAPES ON LIVERY FARM.

Grapes can be grown nor easily
than any other fruit, said E. H.
Riehl in discussing grapes for the
farm, before the recent annual meet
ing of the Illinois Hort lcultural So
oiety. They will thrive anywhere
and can easily be trained on pOrches
or buildings, being ornamental as
we'll as afruIt producer. Everybody
should plant grapes. For the gen
eral farm, plant where most I'VE
lent. Select young and hardy vines,
not over one year old, plant early in
fall or in spring and set Sx8 feet.
Plant about as deep or d little deeper
than they stood in the nursery. Do
not prune the first season. At the
end of the first year out back to one
or two canes and allow these to grow
until the end of the second seAsOn
Then cut back one half or more of

Young vines will bear from Is to
20 pounds each year. For support,
ing the vines drive two sticks, one
on each side, and tie up the vine or
support with wires. Spray with
B ,rdeaux mixture before blossoms

thereafter. Sucking young bunohes

SETTING CABBAGE AND TOMATO PLANTS.

The old way of setting cabbage
and tomato plants, etc., was for one
man to punch a hole in the ground
with q sharp stick, another to come
along and distribute the plants and
a third to push the plants into the
holes and press the soil around them,
leaving the roots turned up and the
hard pressed soil around them. Now
the proper way is for one man to
take a hoe and the other a bunch of
plants, carrying them roots upward.
"The man with the hoe" strikes
downward with side of hoe and pulls
towards himself, making an opening
in the ground a couple of inches
wide and leaving the hoe still in the
ground. The other selects a plant,
catching it so it lays in the palm of
his hand, the stem between his
thumb and middle finger, the fore
finger on the roots. Holding the
plant thus he shOves his hand under
the hoe and the other moves the hoe
to n eide, letting the soil fall over
the roots of the plant. At the next
step, as he strikes his hoe for the
next plant, he steps near the plant
last set, packing the earth, using the
same foot and making two steps to
the plant. While he is doing this
the other man has his next plant
selected In this way more plants
can be set and it is superior to any
other kno IN method.-James Elliott,
Shickshinny, Pa.

sible. Cut and put In a cool place in
single layers and they will keep a
long time. Mr.. Pierson agreed with
Mr.. Riehl in most of the talk, but
would not allow the vine to be grown
without restriction the first year, as
he thinks shat it results in the loss
of just 80 much time. He desires
one good strong cane the first seaso
and would allow no others to grow.

A serious question confronting
farmers who have to buy grain this
winter is how to make it pay. On
many farms it will undoubtedly re
suit in the adoption of a more profit
able system than the one now in use.
Il would seem that the only thing to
do is to keep the hay at home, raise
more stock, use the manure on the
farm ind grow more corn and grass.
Too much fertility has been taken
from the farms with little return -

of all seeds before planting. This
can be done with most seeds by a
simple combination OF a plate, a piece

poor economy TO buy seeds cheap

TROUBLE WITH CATTLE TICKS.

TROUBLE WITH CATTLE TICKS.
CoFrespOndence OF Progressive Farmer
As I desire some advice of import
ance TO me, will address you on the
subject and you can answer or turn
this letter over TO someone else for re-
ply. LAST July a year ago l lost a
cow in a strange way. Correspond
ing with Prof. Frank e. Emery, he
told me that il was tick fever or
Texas fever, and gave me advice.
But being careless about the matter,
let it go on, and this last fall lost
several cattle, and all of my cattle
seem 80 be in bad fix. I keep them
In pasture of about so acres; keep
from 25 TO 80 head, mostly small
yearlings. In the year of 1900 l was
troubled somewhat with ticks and
early in the spring of 1901 the ticks
begun, and the cattle we're covered
with them all the summer, and they
would not grow. Some did not shed
off all the summer and in October,
1901, several died and the rest did
not gain any. My pasture is mostly
old field and can be burnt off. Please
advise me what TO do. My pasture
afforded plenty of grass for all of the
stock 1 kept in it, and my only trou-
BILE with cattle is ticks. w. L g.

For those cattle that suffered
from the effects of tick i~nfestation
last summer, nothing can now be
done except TO give them good care
and food in abundance. A tonic
consisting of sulphate of iron (cop-
peras) and nux vOmioa may serve 80
aid those weakest to regain their
vigor. For an average sized COW
n dram each of these medicines
may be given night and morning.
The ticks can only be exterminated
by a plan that will efeotually pre-
vent any of them maturing on cattle
during a season-say six months. Is

violets, the sort that never fade. They are made of half-inch violet ribbon in two shades, and the effect is produced by tying the ribbon in tiny bow-knots. Sometimes they are punched together, and then again they form the shower ends for a cluster of shaded loops of ribbon The bunch of ribbon violets makes pretty corsage decoration, and it gives new touch to theater bod ice. It also looks well worn as sub stitute for real violets with the spring tailor-amde gown. Some of the punches of violets made of ribbon are as fra grant as the natural blossoms This is done by using perfumed ribbon or hid ing away in the bow-knots tiny bags of violet sachet.
 But there are not only ribbon violets, but ribbon roses-big, exquisitely- shaded roses-made for the sole purpose of pleasing the girl of fashion. The roses are of soft liberty satin, and are things of real beauty. One rose, with a cluster of buds, is used to fasten on the corsaEe or the belt. Another spray is the finishing touch to a soft ribbon stock, the rose fastened at the side of the back, according to the fancy of the yearer. As a hat trimming, also. the ribbon plays an important role.-Wo- mans Home Companion.

| then boxed his ears, and finally stabbed him. The army doctors regularly re- port that ill-treatment has nothing to
 do with such deaths. lndiscipline on the part of privates is punished differently from that of the l non commissioned officer. If soldier ill-treats a horse he is sent tenced to nine months imprisonment. A non commits stoned officer who gave a soldier two
 boxes in the ear got twelve days under arrest A man who had scratched on his chair the words, Long live work, freedom, equality and fraternity!" re- ceived six months Imprisonment for manifesting democratic tendencies.
 The serious eXcesses of officers are hardly punished at all. Prince Wrede, who on Christmas night in rollicking fit went through the quiet streets of Bamberg preceded by the military band was placed under arrest for one day. Three reservists, who in a drunken fit, thrashed a gend-arme, got fifteen years hard labor, this offense being more se- verely punished, as Herr Kunert point ed out. than is the impaling of man in the German colonies. The speaker end ed by drawing attention to the increas- ing number of suicides in the German army. Last year there were two hum dred and thirty-five such cases.
 On behalf of the war office it was re- piled that cases in which superiors had been punished for oll- l-treatment of su- bordinates numbered in 1899 only five hundred and eighty-seven. This alone is significant.
 Finally Herr Kunert was called to or der for lese majeste. He spoke of telegraphic order which the German emperor during the Chinese expedition had sent to Count Waldersee ordering him to attack the Chinese collected on the great wall Arrant diletantism de- clared the deputy, made itself felt not only in art, science and naval matters, but also in military strategy Tribune.

OFFICERS CRUEL TO SOLDIERS.

 Offenses of Privates in the Kaiser's

| Tortures Devised to Punish Trifline | Offenses of Privates in the Kaiser's s Army.
 l The debates in the German reichstag ] on the military. estimates give the so-
 cial democrats an opportunity of again l bringing before the house the subject of the ill-treatment of soldiers, l The cases disclosed by Herren Bebel and Kunert, supposing that they can be
 authenticated, cast a glaring light upon the condition of things existing in this
 bilitary state. Herr Bebel made the following statement: A non-commis- stoned officer at Breslau on a certain Sunday morning tore the buttons off a priVate's coat, and made him stand in bathing drawers while he beat him on the head with his trousers He then cut
 the seams of his clothes till they were
 in pieces, and ordered him to sew them
 up again and to dress in full marching
 order. Later he again cut his clothes
 and made him sew them up a second
 time. This fellow was finally found
 guilty of sixty-three cases of ill-treat-
 ment In two hundred cases he had
 boxed mems ears or struck them with
 the flat of his sword For all this he
 received only nine months mprison-
 ment and degradation.
 In another case an officer who had
 caused a soldiers death by ill-treat-
 ment received only one year and seven
 months Imprisonment with degrada- ton. In yet another case, at Stettin, a non-commissioned officer was charged with ninety-seven cases of ill-treat- ment. He was degraded and sent to prison for eight months-a compara- lively light punishment.
 At Oldenburg a non commissioned of ficer was proved to have committed one hundred cases of assault, etc. He or dered corporals to throw themselves down on the grass and eat it like cattle. It is almost incredible that the men obeyed, but had they not done so they would have been severely punished for 
 A private in rifle battalion appeared unshaven, His non commissioned offi- cer shouted at him: You pig, I'll shave you.' He took his penknife out of his pocket and tore and pinched off the hair While this was going on a came in and said: You must do as l did" He proceeded to light a match and then held it burning under the mans chin and cheeks. A captain received three months detention in d fortress for sixty-three cases of ill., treatment, one of them being grossly offense. Such crimes in the army are exceedingly leniently treated, and when superior officers are con eerned they are generally pardoned.
 The socialist member Kunert men toned two cases in which two soldiers net their deaths in consequence of ill., , treatment while bathing. One man was leld under water for long time and vas hurt in such way that he took the irst opportunity to commit suicide nan in fusilier regiment was killed 'y blows on the breast with the butt md of a rife. It was undoubtedly ase of manslaughter. The case may ,e remembered of Captain Count Stol- 'erg- -Wernigerode, who first insulted ergeant with the basest of invectives,

NEW RANCHES IN RIBBONS.

The New York girl still clings to the monogram fad She has had her mono gram embroidered on her shirt-Waist, worked on the instep of her dainty silk en hose, and traced in rhinestones and jewels into buckles for slipper, belt and hairbarette And now she has new monogram fancy, the most novel, the prettiest of all. It is a lace monogram, and it's decorates her parasol. On a white taffeta parasol she will have her monogram appliqued in black Chantilly lace letters; otherwise the paraSol will be perfectly plain The effect is ex- tremely smart. Her monogram in ecru Arabian lace letters she will also use. And If she has many parasols, one per haps will have the monogram in Per sian silk embroidery instead of lace. A changeable green -and-blue silk parasoi with no other decoration but the mono gram appliqued upon the silk in letters of Persian embroidery is distinctly nov ell.
 Ribbons are high in favor with the New York girl, and she is using them in the most original ways. At her cor sage she pins a bunch of violets, the very latest substitute for the chou But it is not composed of natural flow CTS, as one would suppose as first glance. Instead it is made of ribbon
