Crane vines in the Back Yard.

There has been much interest maii-
tested in the improvement Of the back
yard. Cleanliness, Of course, comes
first, and that is a matter Of daily at
tentlon. Plants for the back yard
ought to be of economic value. Hedge
plants, without thorns, along the fence
line or bordering the walk, serve
good purpose daily.
The pot, sweet and medicinal herbs,
such as parsley, thyme, sage and rose
mary, do well, and are convenient, in
back yards.
Rose bushes as rose vines are
thorny and therefore not well suited
to the part of the premises used for
hanging and summing household linen.
Plant roses in the front yard.
Grape vines need good foothold.
They will climb freely. 1t is not the
approved method of cultlvatlng grapes,
but for shade over the kitchen window
or porch, vigorous Concord or Della
ware. or Catawba grape vine, answers
the dual purpose of shade and OF
yielding grapes. Plant on the eastern
side and train the vine around to the
window or porch. The root in sun
ny place. the vine will stand n western
or northern exposure.
Scuppernong vines cover arbors. An
arbor OF rough construction, extending
from the back door. say. toward the
garden, with just one Scuppernong
grape vine, will be green all summer
and full of grapes in September. One
vine will spread an indefinite number
of feet, twenty. forty and more.
Grape vines feed on bone greedily.
Every bone from the kitchen can be
utilized by burying at the root of the
vine. Sweepings from the yard make
a rich mulch. Waste water from the
kitchen is no longer waste water when
applied TO the grape vines.
Grape vines subjected to this prlmi-
tive mode of treatment should first be
cut away TO two branches. trained up
and then two collateral branches al
lowed to each of the main branches

err, the fruit large, firm, juicy and of
fine quality; in color the fruit is mot
tied red, sometimes streaked. In sea-
son it is late and hangs well on the
trees.
It is one of the best varieties for
shipping, remaining firm for a long
time. AS it originated in Canada, the
tree is quite hardy and may be safely
planted in nearly all sections of the
country. Where one can have but a
few varieties and classes Of trees for
home use the Windsor is recommend
ed among cherries as containing more
desirable characteristics for home use
than any other variety.

PICKING AND MARKETING FRUIT

Mr.. G. Harold Powell, of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
read a paper on picking and Storing
of Fruit" recently before the Amerl-
can Nurserymen. giving the results or
storage investigations carried on by
the department with view to Inform
ing the fruit growers and dealers
what fruits are best adapted for stor-
age purposes, and how they should be
handled. He summed up the princl-
pal requirements for successful fruit
storage as follows: Let the fruit come
TO full size and high degree OF color
on the tree. but retaining hard tex
ture when picked; pick the fruit with
the greatest care, to prevent brulslng,
as a large proportion Of the losses In
transit and in the warehouse result
from bruising the fruit after 1t leaves
the tree; wrap fancy fruit especially
the more delicate varieties; cool the
fruit as quickly as possible after pick
ing TO retard the rlpening processes,
which progresses rapidly at this time
and 10 check the growth of diseases;
store the fruit in a temperature OF
thirty TO thirty-two degrees Fahren-
beit in well ventilated rooms; and sell
Il before it reaches the point or de-
terloration.
Mr. Powell touched also on the In
euence of cultural conditions on the
shipping and keeping qualities OIL
fruit saying that experience had
taught that fruit which has oeeh
forced in growth, or has been grown
IN unusual size, has comparatively poor
keeping qualities. A light crop wnicn
generally produces large fruit is lke,

alluded some time ago to an ex- traordinary visit to Ireland made by MT. Hunks, a retired sailor, who lives In our village. A few nights ago Hunks related thesstory of another re markable adventure of his. He said: About 20 years ago l was ship wrecked on the coast of Cuba, and got to land without anything on me but a pair of trousers. The people were kind enough to me, but you know l didn't understand their lingo and l had the awfulest time you ever stand me by signs and gestures.

A few days later lhe craft drifted on to a coast and went to pieces. 1 was the only man mat got safe ashore. I didn't know where l was, but I felt pretty certain u was on one of them islands in the west Indies. Directly~I seen a hut near the beach, and 1 went to 1t. mere was a man inside, and I says to myself:

He must have considered 1 had collie or some thin like that, for he went to the cup board and spread a mustard plaster, and then came offering it to me to put on. But of course I only shook my head and put my hands on my stom- ach, and 1 groaned little despairin' like. Then a happy thought struck him. He imagined was pisoned, and he fetched out a syringe and some in- jun rubber hose and tried to rig up some sort of a stomach-pump to bail me out
 By this time I was getting pretty mad, and I pointed to my mouth, and run my finger down the front of me to my stomach, to indicate the route I wanted the food to take. He thought what I expected him to do was to cut me open; so he got a carving knife out of the closet and began sharpen ing 1t on a brick. He was an accom- modating man.

Keep Up Old Kissing Custom.

There is a town in Berkshire, Eng land-the town of ngerford-where the Hocktide festival each April is celebrated mainly by a kissing GUS tom, centuries old. Certain officials. chosen for the occasion, hold a court, collect the tithes. and claim a kiss from the woman of each house they have to visit during the ceremony
 Curiously, neither the women nor their husbands object to the custom. In this instance the kiss has decided value, for there is great rivalry for the positions.

Iuvestigating standard OIL.

New York, Sept. 23.-Specisl Attor-
ney General Kellogg, who is probing the
Standard OIL Company of New Jersey in
the governments suit TO have that Ger
poration declared guilty OF violating the
antitrust laws and dissolved, assailed
Wesley II. Tiltord, treasurer OF the con-
Germ. Immediately with what has been
brought out relative to the sale by Com
modore f. @. Benedict and Anthony N.
Brady of the Manhattan Oil Company,
which was disposed Of to a British syn
dictate. He wants prove 1t really went
to the Standard, and demanded that Til

tract to furnish it supplies. "Dont

swear don't know it," was The reply.
To volley of questions that popped
with the rapidly of rapid fire gun,
Kellogg developed the'fact that Tllford
signed a contract and was closely con-
ne,ted with all The companies involved.
But he still insisted that he did not
know anything about it, and was or
dsred TO find the contract and produce
it, as similar one made at the same
time with the Indianapolis gas company.
When Tilford was asked about the alb
sorption of Scho6ed, Scburme and
Teagle, of Cleveland, o., he declared the
S andsrd simply had to take them in.

swore, that they made numerous offers
to sell and finally their request lust

So soon "a Tilford was turned over to
, John G. Miburn, of counsel for the
Standard, the latter showed by bis line
of questioning that the company would
plead justification for most of its acts and
would utterly deny any wrong doing.
Tilford declared the reason the supply OF
crude oil was shut of to sixteen indie
pendent companies after they had refused

The falling Of the natural supply from
