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 a small
lot, should make it a speciality to grow
some grapes. With the many differ
ent varieties that we have, we may
arrange to have grapes from August
until December, and sometimes later,
says Inland Farmer. If We wish tc
grow grapes successfully we should
use plenty of stable manure, and pillow
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 OF
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 foul
wires.
We will lind 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.

Her WAY of podaina puns.

The tenants of an uptown fat house
nad been greatly annoyed by persons
who rang their bells and yet never
came upstairs. Usually after a period
Of waiting it would be decided that
The postman had called and there
would be a fruitless trip down stairs.
The annoyance was finally traced to
n apartment two flights UP, the call
srs invariably going to that door, and
\ little quiet detective work disclosed
that the woman living there never
answered a ring at her own bell
Later it developed that she was
heavily in debt. Those persons she
wanted to see rang her bell and some
me else's. The second gave the caller
admittance. If they raped on the
door the woman admitted them. II
here was a ring at her up stairs o
bell she knew it was a bill collector,
md let him ring on until he concluded
hat she was not in. Collectors ring
ing only her bell usually did not gain
admittance unless the door were I'M
iocked.
Not until the other tenants, In re.
venge, tipped off the collectors, did
The annoyance cease.-New York

The Indifferent Bridegroom.

The absence of all conventionalities
and restrictions in Labrador is also
very refreshing. A ~peripatetic minis
ter was called on at a place known as
Spotted Islands to marry a couple who
were awaiting a chance for the cere-
mony. The bridegroom was an elderly
man, who was a kim OF king in the
place. When the minister arrived at
the island he found all the islanders
assembled in the little schoolroom
awaiting him. 1t was not till he actu-
ally entered the building that he dis
covered the bride was the deceased
wife's sister. This being a forbidden
relationship, he refused to proceed,
whereupon the intending bridegroom
quietly remarked: Never mind, Mis-
ter. One of these others will do" So,
turning to the expectant crowd, he Sc
lected a suitable paFtner, and she be
ing willing, tall wdnt as gaily as q

WHIrEWAsH FOR TREES.

IN the New England States white
wash is frequently applied to fruit
trees, especially apple trees, and seems
to have the effect Of keeping of fungus
and insect pests. The whitewash as
used there is generally made by sim
rly shaking the lime with cold water
But 1t would be better to Stake the
lime with hot water. 1t may be made
to stick better by adding some SKINNED
milk. Some even heat some glue and
when ii has become a thin liquid dilute
1t with hot water and add it to the
wash. This still further helps the
sticking quality. - National Fruil

IMPROVING OLD ORCHARDS.

If I were to give specific advice as
10 the treatment of old orchards, ii
would be in brief as follows:
Get into the orchard with the prun-
ing saw. For this work you need men
Of experience. Too many Of so-called
tree runer are tree butchers. Their
zeal is much greater than their knowl'
edge. The only absolute rule in prun-
ing that can be laid down is to cut out
all dead wood. Branches that are
badly injured, diseased, crossed or thai
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 a judic.
ious thinning of large branches. Lei
the pruning extend through two OF
three seasons rather than he.
Nearly all old orchards are in sod.
This must be broken u~p-absolutely
must if success is to be attained. Start
It's cultivation and keep it going. Plow
In a good dressing of stable manure,
or plow and then harrow in 4 good
dressing of fertilizers rich in potash
and phosphoric acid. In the words OF
the parable of the barren fig tree, dig
about it and dung it."
With a short handle hoe or some kind
ST a box scraper remove the old rough
bark, which shelters innumcrable in
sects and fungi and then spray thor.
Oughly while the trees r in the dor.
mant condition, with copper sulphate
at the rate of one pound to twenty-five
gallons of water.
Make up your mind to feed, prune,
spray, SOW cover crops and cultivate
the orchard for the remainder of its
life. If the orchard fails to appreciate
the treatment outlined above, cut it
down and plant anew. why cumber-
eth it the ground?" Do not expect too
much or look for too quick returns.
aAs the twig is bent, the tree is in
.lined," and a season OF two of good
care cannot make up for a lifetime Of
neglect. Do not follow years Of out
.ageous treatment with unreasonable
sxpectations.-U. p. Hedrick, Horti-

The worlds commerce in the latest
year for which statistics are available,
saJs Harper's Weekly, as noted in the
annual report of the Chief of the Bu-
e of Statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, shows the
total exports of all nations of the
world to be, in the latest year avail
able, $1O,515, 600, 900, and the value OF
the total imports of all nations, SILL
809, 600, 900. This would give the total
value of the worlds imports and ex-
ports combined as $22,3 24, 000, 900; but
since all articles which were counted
as exports became in turn Imports
when they entered the country OF des-
~tination, it would appear that the ac-
tual value of the articles entering INTO
international commerce is, in round
terms, 81 ,000,0 200, 900. The value OF
the articles forming the internal COM
merce of the United States is estimat-
ed at about % billions of dollars in a
single veal. Thus, while it has been
customary to speak of the Internal
commerce of the United States as
equal to the entire international com
merce of the world, it appears from
this statement that the actual value OF
the merchandise entering into n IN
ternal commerce of the United States
is practically twice as great as that
entering the international commerce
of the world.

HOW TO KEEP PLATE POLISHED,
Among the minor annoyances OF
housekeeping is the fact that, how
ever carefully plate may be cleaned
before putting it away, in the course
of a week or SO it becomes dull and

the following simple means: After
thoroughly cleansing the plate and
polishing 1t with whiting. wrap UP
each piece in tin foil, such as is used
for wrapping up chocolate, tea, etc.;
then put it in a dry cupboard or draw

BEATING EGGS.

When a recipe calls for Slightly
0eaten eggs" N should use eggs
that have received about fifteen
strokes to the whisk; eggs that are
slightly beaten are not separated;
that is, the yolk and white are beat
en- together, and when picked up on
o fork, they will run from the tines
"Wel beaten eggs" means eggs that
have been beaten until they are light
and pale yellow in color.
Eggs should never be beaten in a
tin vessel of any kind, as it is apt tc
impart an unpleasant flavor to the
egg. Nor should a single egg be
dropped into a large dish Oh bowl
where it is almost lost when one tries
TO beat it. Long, narrow Dover beat
ers may be purchased, that will just
fit into a tumbler, which is the best
of all things in which to beat an egg
If eggs are washed before they are
broken, the shells may be put away
and used for clearing coffee and
soups.
When the white of an egg is to be
beaten alone, it should be made very
cold, first of all, and a pinch of salt
added just before it is whipped. The
white should be beaten in a narrow
vessel like a cup or tumbler, for in
this way it will froth more readily
two whites beaten separately instead
Of together, make more froth than
they do when beaten both at. one
time. Eggs are beaten "to a froth"
when they are sufficiently stiff to
stand alone. They are "beaten till
dry" when they lose a certain shiny
appearance, and, when the bowl is
inverted, fall out all in a lump, and
leave the bowl without a trace of
froth in the bottom.
A custard of gelatine preparation
containing eggs should always be
strained after adding the eggs, in or
der to remove the spiral spring
that holds the white and yolk togeth-
er, and which does not beat up" with
the rest of the egg.-Mary Taylor
Ross, in What to Eat.

whence the first came? is the natural
question of the reader at this point.
We might repeat our dose every Few
hours, or, better yet, we might suspend
large sheets of copper at. the intake
of the reservoir. The toxic action Oh
the copper sheets would be strong
enough to prevent any live typhoid
germs from getting in. Of course, the
sheets would have to be kept clean;
any Shiny coating on their surface
would interfere with the toxic action
of the metal.
