WHAT TO PLANT.
Selection OF Variety Of Grape Vine
Calls for Careful Consideration,

ylnoyardlst has this TO say about
planting grape vines: Had | planted
fewer varieties and tested one. might
have been better situated. Out Of rs
varieties Of grapes that | am fruiting
! would not recommend more than six
for commercial purposes. The others
are only good for exhibition or for OK,
pertinent stations. This will hold good
In nearly all kinds Of small fruits.
Strawberries are about the same. OF
the several varieties | have growing
Ave comprise the really good ones
Soil and conditions of culture must be
taken into consideration, for every
one growing strawberries will find out
that they are very greatly influenced
by the locality In which they grow
The strawberry that does well on high,
soils may not thrive ON the heavy soils
The grower must study his soil as well
as his varieties, The best strawberry
! ever grew would not sell on account
Of white tip, I have now discarded
Il. People buy fruit by the eye and
not by quality, As TO gooseberries and
currants, there Is no use In planting
the small kinds, as the public is de

WHEN STEAM WAS NEW POWER

When the Lusitania took its first
plunge into the waters of the Clyde
1t could have carried unseen on
corner Of its deck the first steamship
built In Britain. The Clyde claims
both as It's offspring. The Comet,
constructed by Mr.. Henry Bell, flashed
Its four shovel-shaped paddle on each

horsepower could negotiate. The
Comet was 30 conspicuously success.
full that two or three more boats OF

became the envy of mankind. Mr..
Lawrence, OF Bristol, determined
that England should not be left be-
hind In the race, tried one on the
Severn, and was 30 delighted with
the result that he steamed with II up
the Thames, intending to reap a har-

the company of Watermen. who made
such a fuss about this inhuman com.
petition that Mr.. Lawrence and his
steamship fell back to the Severn.
From 1913 to 1923 no vessel was built
in Britain OF greater tonnage than
500, the average being only about 60.

Billiards nj Sea.

Can you imagine playing billiards
In a heavy gale?" said the captain.
DO you wonder that our new liners.
with their elevators and telephones
and gymnasium. don't have billiard
tables as well? One ship once had q
billiard table-the Great Eastern.
The wonderful Great Eastern had
a billiard table on swinging deck.
This deck was supposed to counter
act the ships motion, and TO heep the
table steady. But II failed 10 do so.
and very remarkable were some of

MEDIUM HEADED TREES.
u 10 the Best Form " the Orchard 10
to Be WeII-Cuitivated.

Ten or Is years ago we practiced
heading our apple trees very low, or
as low as we could keep them, but
since that time we found It impossible
to give our orchard clean cultivation,
or rather intensive cultivation, with
the trees that way, and we are grad.
ually working them higher.
We would now call them medium
height, are heading them as low as
we can give them thorough cultiva.
ton and / ass under them with teams,
and this Is becoming the practice in
this vicinity at this time, writes a
Cumberland County nll) correspond.
ent OF the Farmers Review. I think
there is very little in high or low
head as to borers. High heads are a
little more apt to sun.scald unless the
trees be set leaned little to the
southwest Probably the high head ed
trees would lose more apples in a
storm than low headed ones. but the
lowheaded ones sometimes thresh the
ground and knock some of the fruit
on and the limbs touching the ground
are apt to have poor and bad colored
fruit.
Would advise to keep the heads as
low as you can to cultivate under, as
you can do better job of spraying
on a low head than on high headed
tree, and do It more rapidly, also cas-
Ter to keep caterpillars or other In.
sects of low fruit trees and much cas-
Ter to gather the fruit.
We aim to keep our tree heads as
low as possible to have them so they
do not interfere with cultivation. and
we call our orchards as they are now
northumberland and have gotten them
as near right as We can put them and
cultivate.
