Vines in the BARNARD.

The barn should never be built
near the house, and wherever it is,
it should be kept as sanitary as the
house itself. A country barnyard
should be as neat and tidy as the
dooryard. There is no reason why
vines should not grow over the walls
and fences, and trees shade the in
closed animals. 1t is possible to have
lilacs and mock oranges growing
around the barn as freely as about
the shrubbery. The animals are not
any less happy, and one can pick
great punches for oneself and
friends.

Good TOnics For Swine.

In one of its bulletins the Arkan-
sas station says that it is necessary
to keep accessible to hogs some
material that supplies lime and salt
to aid in BODYBUILDING, as all appe-
tiZer, and to remove Intestinal para
sites. This mixture should he kent
in strong box protected from rain.
and the quantity and frequency with
which pigs will visit aud eat of the
mixture will often he surprising. The
following is the mixture that was
used: Charcoal, one and one-half
bushels; common salt, four pounds:
hard wood ashes, ten pounds:
Stacked lime. four pounds; fresh
water, shade i'll summer, grain food
when on grass, and dry bed free
from dust; shelter in winter, and
when confined an area sufficiently
large so that it will not become foul
with droupings and mud buss. These
are essentials for successful hog
raising.

The Difference in IiouS

AT one OF the western institutes
a speaker, in dwelling uron the sub
Ject of how little difference there
was in the breeds of hogs nowadays,
said: so many people want to know
what is the best breed Of hogs.
There is no quarrel now upon this
subject because when the hog is
dead and the head and ears are
taken off. you can hardly tell one
breed from another. There is really
little difference between better
known pure bred hogs, but there is
great difference between the pure
bred hogs and the razorback. Do
not make friends with the razor

Culture of Vines.

The first point to notice in vine
culture is the difference between
permanent and temporary vines
The woody ones like ampelopsis,
Virginia creeper and wistaria, which
ought to last a lifetime, are natu-
rally slow to start. They are, in
fact, comparable to trees in this
respect as we'll as in cost and the
thoroughness with which the soil
should be prepared for them. Since
their roots are to go twenty or thir-
ty feet deep or more, the poor soil
to a depth of four feet should be
thrown away and replaced by good
soil, and the ground should be liber-
ally provided with well-rotted ma
nure or with mercial fertilizers.
If properly planted the permanent
vines will require no attention for
the first two years except little
pruning. After that time the strong
growers must be kept within proper
bounds. 1t is usually easy to keep
vines in good condition by cutting
them back few feet every year.
Nearly all of the permanent vines
will stand any amount of pruning
except wistaria which does best if
allowed to grow year after year
without pruning.
The commonest mistake in prun-
ing vines is to allow them to grow
for five or SIX years without any
pruning whatsoever. This is why
you see on porches everywhere vines
that are top-heavy, i. e., which have
a mass of foliage at the top and
scarcely any at the base. This is,
of course, absurd, for the purpose
slightly buildings and it also has the
disadvantage on a porch of furnish
ing hiding place for mosquitoes
and of littering the porch with leaves
which fall before their time
If vines are headed back from
one to four feet every year from the
second to the eighth year, it should
be entirely unnecessary to sweep the
porch every morning so far as fallen
leaves are concerned. The reason
why these leaves fall in July and
August is that top-heavy vine is so
crowded that the sunshine can not
enter The mass of foliage and ripen
the leaves. The vines bear more
leaves than they can ripen and it
is those imperfectly ripened leaves
that fall prematurely.
The next most important points
In vine culture are to determine
whether the vine needs artificial sup
port or not, and, if so, of what kind;
whether You want a foliage effect
or a Towering effect, how high you
want the vines to grow, and whether
there is any danger of damaging
your property in any way.
For example, ampelosis requires
no support on any surface whatever.
1t will grow hundred feet high,
but its flowers are inconspicuous,
and since one usually rants color
on the porch it is not so good for
Il veranda rs Towering vine which
does not grow so tall.
Moreover, any vine that grows
twenty feet high or more may cause
some trouble if it is grown directly
on frame house. You may want
TO remove the vines in order to paint
the house. You can do this easily
with any vine that requires artifi-
ciai support, but it is impossible or
difficult with anything that is self
supporting like ampelopsis.-In-

BUSINESS APPEARS QUIET
That is By Contrast with the Unpre-
ccdentedly Active Holiday Dusf-
ness in All Sections.

New York, Dec. 30.-BradstreetS
weekly review says:
Following an unprecedentedly active
holiday business in all parts of the
country, distributive trade seems quiet
by contrast, more particularly as un-
seasonably mild weather affects retail
operations in seasonably heavy wear
ing apparel What is bad for retail
business is, however. good for outdoor
industry, particularly building, which
remains very active, and manufacture
ing operations are likewise facilitated
by the uninterrupted passage of raw
material to consuming centers. In
wholesale trade clearing rates and
stock taking operations absorb atten-
tion, but il is noted that operations for
spring account are larger than ordinary,
and in fact business is heavier than eS-
pected at this season.
Additional reports as to trade in the
year now closing point to 1905 having
been a record breaker alike in agricul-
tural. speculative. financial and indus
trial circles. On the whole, however.
primacy must be assigned to manufac-
turing industry.
