Chateaubriand reigned as king-and to

How to GirdIe Grape Vines.

The glrdling or ringing Of grapevines
Is done to increase the size of each
cluster. 1t is not done generally, how
ever, although some find the method
profitable. The bark is entirely re-
moved below the fruit cluster about a
month before the period of ripening
which hastens maturity about a week
OF two and enlarges the bunch and
berries. The sap ascends through the
pores Of the wood to sustain growth
but the elaborated sap descends through
the wood and the bark and can go no

Seed Corn Breeding PAYS,

Corn-breeding work, still in its in
fancy, already has spelled profit for
many growers. Material increases in
yield, due in large measure to plant
Ing improved tested seed, have been so
general that farmers everywhere are
adopting better methods of seed selec-
ton. And other countries, noting what
has been accomplished by American
corn breeders, have taken steps to fol-
low their example. Recently an Ameri-
can seed-corn breeding company ship
ped 1900 bushels of corn to the agri-
cultural department of the Egyptian
government. The same company has
also exported an order of 10000 pounds
Of seed corn to Australia, where 1t will
be used In breeding work conducted by
the agricultural authorities of that
country. 1t Is to the corn belt of
America that the peoples Of the earth
come for corn. Our corn crop is the
envy Of all civilized countries which
cannot or do not grow corn.

Home-Made Grain Box.

There is enough grain stored on every
farm to warrant the building Of grain
box, particularly when one can be built
for very small sum and with but little
labor. Such box is easily constructed
from dry goods boxes, using a number
Of the same size to obtain the desired
capacity and setting them end to end,
fastening them together or not as de-
sired. The fronts are cut so as to OBJ
tain the proper slant and then a cover
Is made so that the box or boxes may

be locked If necessary. Divisions are
made in the inside in accordance with
the quantity of each kind of grain to
be stored. The boxes are set on legs
about fifteen inches high and each Of
these legs has an inverted cap Of tin
placed on 1t near where the leg joins
the box. These tins will prevent vermln
in the shape of rats and mice from
easily climbing up the box and getting
at the grain. If desired the several
divisions may be lined inside so as to
make them more vermin proof. The H.
lustration shows how simple this grain
box is.-Indianapolls News.

The Republican Lieutenant Governor,
Andrew Lintner Harris, has now be-
come acting Governor and will serve
until 1909, enjoying all the emoluments
of the office, but being deprived Of the
full title, Governor. He took the place
upon the ticket last year in response
to the united call of both Republican
factions. He is civil war veteran and
was Lieutenant Governor under Gov

Governor Pattison was born on a
farm In Claremont County, Ohio, in

Guineaa.

The Guinea is said to be a native of
western Africa and is a very active
blru OF rather wild nature. The wild
nature of the beautiful fowls Is an OBJ
lection with many poultrymen. There
are two breeds Of guineas, the pearl
and the white guinea. The pearl guinea
Is Of wilder disposition than the
white guinea. Both breeds are about
the same size. The flesh Of the pearl
guinea is darker than that of the
white, which makes the white guinea
preferable as a table fowl Both breeds
OF guineas are good summer egg pro-
ducers They begin laying in April or
May and continue to lay until late in
the fall. The pearl guinea is very SEN
sltive about having her nest disturbed
and often leaves the nest If a part of
her eggs are removed. The white guinea
is not so particular about her nest and
VIII continue to lay in the nest If only
one egg Is left in it. Our white guineas
often lay in the nest boxes in the poul-
try house with the chicken hens.

Great Goat for Mohafr.

The South African goat, Sultan,
sheared eighteen and one-half pounds
of mohair at one clipping. This is the
record in this country and probably the
worlds record. He was barred from
competition at the st. Louis Fair be-
cause judges would not believe that the
mohair then carried was grown within
the time specified by the rules. At the
Portland, Ore, Fair he took grand prize
for the best buck. He is said to pos
sess wonderful prepotent power.
