Much of the stereotyped advice about
how to plant a tree is applicable to the
grape vine. Some Of it. however. will
not work we'll in practice, and to detect
the difference between good and bad
advice. let us consider for a minute
how the grape vine is grown. The
wood is cut into slips about three
or four inches long, and in the spring
the nurseryman plants these against
a sioping ditch. Most of the roots
push right from the bottom, and a
few from the intermediate "eyes."
While ii is the tendency Of the oak or
pear root to push downward, the grape
root prefers the upper soils, where it
is dry and warm. When dry, these
roots may be two Or three feet long,
but in planting, should be shortened to
a foot. While the usual advice in
tree planting is to dig a hole large
enough to chamber the roots nicely.
and deep enough to receive them, ii is
evident that the hole for a grape vine
should not be round Lor deep, but long
and shallow. Then cut a sloping back
to one end of the hole, lean the vine
against it, spread the roots out natur-
ally, and cover with six, but not more
than eight. inches of soil. When half
the earth is in, tread well, but leave the
last half loose. A vine SO planted has

Bots.

1t is needless in this work to go into
detail 2or to produce proofs to show
that the evils that are caused by bots
are imaginary: that the symptoms
which were supposed to Indicate bots
were signs Of collie or pleurisy. Inves-
legations by scientific men have eS-
plodcd the old f~allacies. and no we'll
Informed main now holds TO this belief.
Many d nauseous dose and many IA cor

the following statements by the intelli-

sion: It will relieve many men who
have not given it any attention to know
what has been proven about bots. In

the manure to turn into the fly which
lays the eggs that again produce the
bot. Investigation has yet found
a case where the bot had bored his way
through the stomach. unless the horse
had been dead long enough to stop Sc
cretions and decomposition OF the stom-
ach begin. From the manner in which
the bot attaches himself to the stomach
and buries his mouth in the insensible
soft mucous. as we'll as his location in
certain parts OF the stomach, it is
manifestly Impossible for any medicine
to reach the mouth Of the bot and
make him let 90. As to letting go to

Ram Saved Mans Life.

To be charged by an Infatuated bull
and gored almost to insensibillty and
afterward to be rescued through, the
interference Of a ram is the remarka-
Bile experience of John Michel, a farm
hand employed on the farm of Mike
Walters, near Benridge, MINI.
Michel was milking the cows in the
pasture lot when a bull charged him,
knocked him to the ground and furi-
ously attempted to gore him. Michel
made desperate attempts to escape
from the enraged animal and
nearly unconscious when a ram
charged the bull, with the result that
the latter turned his attention to the
new foe and Michel succeeded in
crawling through the fence and es-
Gaping. The man is badly bruised and
wounded, but 10 bones were broken
and he will recover.

good chances for IL long life, but as a
double surety, it is well to take some
note Of the napurial needs Of the crop.
Grapes are more exhaustive as q
crop than most of the fruit crops,
largely because OF the larger total crop
harvested. and their special need FOR
phosphoric acid and potash. These ele-
ments may be supplied by using a
mixture Of one part. or 100 pounds
each, of acid phosphate. ground bone
and muriate OF potash. This can be
we'll mixed with the soil at the rate
OF U pounds per acre. before the
vines are set. and 1000 pounds used
after the bearing period begins. In or
der to increase IN early growth, q
top dressing Of 100 pounds per acre of
nitrate of soda could be applied, in
the spring following the planting.
1t is best to cut away all the top of
a newly set vine, Many nurseryncn
take no chances. but cut off the need
less wood, while others leave the wood
on. and as the grape vine is Il small
affair. the buyer seems to get more for
his money. When your vine is re-
c%eiyet, cut the top off short.
With the readers kind permission. if,
after discussing the planting of a vine,
a jump to two years afterwards will
be made, Il little advice OH what to
do with the growth in the meantime
will be given.

NITS AS FOOD.

The use of nuts as food is becoming
more and more popular. Without ad-
hitting the contention of the fadd1sts
that nuts should be substituted for
meat, there is no doubt that, used
with discretion, certain nuts might &C.

and almonds contain a high degree of

more digestible as a rule than raw.
