GRAPE CULTURE.

Many people really do not know
what a healthy fruit the grape is, and
how easy it may be propagated from
cuttings. Every farmer or city man,
If he does not own more than small
lot, should make it speciality to grow
some grapes. With the many differ
emit varieties that we have, we may
arrange to have grapes from August
until December, and sometimes later,
says Inland Farmer. If we wish to
grow grapes successfully we should
use plenty of stable manure, and plow
the land late in the fall, and plow
thoroughly. We then have our ground
ready for spring work. The first three
or four years we should cultivate or
hoe the same as we do corn or other
crops. The most handy way TO train
grape vines is a trellis made Of posts
sixteen feet apart, with three or four
wires.
We will find this convenient in gath
ering the fruit and trimming the vines
also. In pruning we should not leave
too much overgrown wood on the trel-
lis. The best time for pruning grapes
is during the month of February and
March, before the canes start to grow

would be in brief rs follows:
Get into the orchard with the prun-

of experience. Too many OF so-ca!led
tree primers are tree butchers. Their
zeal is much greater than their knowl-
edge. The only absolute rule i'll prun-
ing that can be laid down is to cut out
all dead wood. Branches that are
badly injured. diseased, crossed or that
from weak crotches should be re-
moved, after which some small limbs
may be cut out. and if the tree Top is
very thick, there should be judic-
ious thinning of large branches. Let
the pruning extend through two or
three seasons rather than one.
Nearly all old orchards are in sod.

STOCK RAISING
In South Dakota an Industry Particularly
Favored by Natural Conditions.

Stock raising in South Dakota has in
creased to a remarkable extent the past
few years, stimulated by good prices
and the ease and cheapness OF produc-
ing cattle.
The stock growers can properly be
divided into two classes, the exclusive
cattle raiser and the farmer who follows
mixed farming, sending his milk to the
creamery and raising calves. In the
former class are the large cattlemen
who have and are now accommodating
fortunes in the business They are side
by side with the small owner, and west
of the Missouri river their cattle mingle
together until the annual roundup or
until the shipping season, all owners
being protected fully by their respect
i've brands. A cattle brand in South
Dakota is executive property granted by
a State Brand Commission, and duly
recorded. The cattle raiser's losses are
exceedingly small and the profits good.
The choicest beef is produced without
care or feed, winter or summer, except
as nature has provided. The cattle
Craze all winter on the famous Buffalo
grass, and are taken from this feed and
placed OH the fat stock market in direct
competition with the corn-fed stock. 1t
is small wonder that with so little care
and expense necessary, the business has
increased and is profitable.
But it is the average man who is en-
gagged in mixed farming and who has
a smaller number Of cattle that secures
the largest amount of profit on the
amount he invests. His losses are prac-
tically none, and with his milk, calves,
and hogs, his resources of income are
many. The breeds producing comb
nation beef and milk strain are mostly
on demand, and the constant introduce
ton of new thorough bred bulls of the
finest type has had the effect OF placing
the South Dakota herds above the aver
age as to quality.
During the past the producers in the
northern and eastern part of the state,
have to considerable extent sold their
! stock to Iowa feeders But today the
big corn crop in South Dakota makes it
profitable to feed here, and there are
many fine feeding farms throughout
the state.
The days of sunshine, the nutritious
grasses, water and accessibility to mark

stock and it specially appeals to the
