Every Little Bit Helps.

taken here this week in the way
Of public improvement is that on
the part of W. II. Rucker who is

Williamson, now famous in Wi
baux as 4 concrete mixer is
doing the work. Mr.. Rucker
takes much pride in doing and
having every thing of the best
that is obtainable, and this action
certainly is commendable one.
Although it is but a mere fraction
Of. what is to be and should be
done, in the way Of improving
our side walks, yet, every little
bit helps, and, this action vii
tend to serve as a gentle
reminder to those who have no

Should not use Sisag Twine

A letter from William M.
Woods, president Of the Ameri-
can Woolen company, inregard to
the tying of feeces. received by
local woolman, should be Of inter-
est to the woollnen generally
through the state: Il wish again
to call your attention to the i'm
portance of strongly advising the
woolgroWers against tying their
fieeces with sisal tWine. The
damage from the ibers of this
twine in the manufacturing of
the goods is a serious one, de-
preciating the value Of the goods,
and wools tied with it should
command a lower marker value
in consequence. This is a very
serious matter and we have in
structed our woolbuyers not to
purchase any Of feeces tied with
this twine unless a lower price is
made to Offset the damage in
Cured in working woods contain
ing this twine. We cannot impress
to strongly upon you, and your
correspondents and buyers, the
Importance Of avoiding the use of
this tWine. Forsyth Times.

Summer Reading.

It is an established fact that
the education obtained from read
ing good books is necessary
factor in completing the intellec-
tual development Of the boy or
the girl, Of the man or the wo-
man. The braid is a busy organ
of the body and must have en-
ployment of some kind. We form
habits of reading, as we form ha-
bits of living, and our minds are
either weakened or strengthened
thereby. The reading of cline
novels tend to weaken the mind,
lower the morals and make a per-
son more trifiing in thought and
deeds; while, on the other hand,
reading good literature aids in
the study Of the english language,
is conductive to better thoughts
and acts and places before the
boy and girl ideals worthy Of i'm
itation. Let us encourage the
boys and girls to read good books
and especially at this time Of
the year, when they have more
time for reading than during the
school months.
There are fve-hundred volumes
in our school library. They were
not bought for show, but for
their educational value, So the
trustees have consented to the
following plan Of placing the Ii
brary books in the hands Of our
readers.
On Saturday, May 80, the
school house will be opened be-
tween the hours Of one and two
O'Clock .. m, for the purpose Of
giving out library books. Also
every two weeks June 13, June
27, etc., during the summer
months. Books should be return
ed in two weeks, or have then
reissued, and the holder of a bool
viii. be held responsible for the
same until returned.
l consider this a special privel
ege and trust that the public viii
, avail themselves of the opportun
, ity and read at least one or tWt
!, good books during the summer
also get better acquainted will
the school library system in th'
state of Montana.

COST OF CARELESS PACKING.

Experiments recently made by repre-
sentatives of the federal agricultural
department in the picking and packing
of Florida oranges point to the conclu-
sion that the enormous losses which
have been sustained by the growers
of that state in the past through the
rotting of the fruit can be entirely or
largely done away with by the exercise
of greater care In the preparation of
the fruit for market A quantity of
fruit put up under the direction of the
government officials showed absolutely
no traces of rot, while much of that
packed in the ordinary manner was
badly affected with rot. It would be
strange If it should turn out that the
great losses sustained from this one
cause could have been in large meas
ure prevented by the exercise of great
err care in the mechanical handling Of
TIE fruit.

Grape Pruning.

Pruning away the surplus wood will
do much to reduce disease and insect
trouble in the vineyard The prun
ing should not be done while the vines
are frozen. as the plant is liable to be
injured by twisting and bending the
vines The late winter and early
spring pruning is usually done hasti-
ly. and if done late in the spring the
vines bleed freely. 1t is better to
prune the vines late than not to prune
them any. but the best results will be
obtained by pruning in early winter.
The young vines should be pruned
very closely. The first year after the
vines are set in the vineyard all the
tops should be cut away. and not more
than three buds should be left at the
base of the vine. This will leave only
a stub but that is all that is necessary
TO produce a good growth of vine the
next year.
The second years growth may be
placed on trellis, and the vines may
be permitted to bear light crop the
third year. The general tendency is to
let the vine bear very heavy crops as
soon as they will. and the vines are
weakened and do not prove of much
value. The first crop should be pro
duced from not more than ten or
twelve buds on each plant. From the
third year on the number of buds left
on the vines may be increased until
the strong vines are left with thirty OF
forty buds after the pruning has been
done This will look like very severe
pruning. and so it is, but it produces
the best and the most fruit.
These buds referred to in the preced-
ing paragraph are on the last seasons
growth of vines and will produce the
Young shoots in the spring. which carry
the fruit If the vineyard is well cult
waited and sprayed. each bud left on
the last seasons canes will produce on
an average two punches of fruit. The
size. age and vigor of the vines should
each should be expected to mature. 1t
is good plan to work for smaller
mum Der of punches than the vines are
able to carry and have the berry of
good size. well matured and properly
ripened.
The spur system of pruning is the
one most commonly practiced. This
system consists of cutting away the
canes of the last seasons growth and
leaving only two or three buds at the
base CT the stub. The large branches
that carry these canes are left year
after year. A number of spurs or old
stubs are developed by the annual cut
ting away of the fruit bearing canes.
This system of pruning is simple and
is well adapted to home vineyard
