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 aud 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
n stub, but that is all that is necessary
to produce good growth of vine the
next year.
The second years growth may he
placed on trelis, aud the vines may
be permitted to bear a 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
VaIue The first crop should be pro
duced from not more than ten or
twelve buds on each plant. From tbe
thlrd year on the number Of buds left
on the vines may be increased until
the strong vines are left with thirty or
forty buds after the pruning has been
done. This will look like very severe
pruning, and so II is, but It produces
the best and the most fruit
These buds referred TO in the prncod.
ing paragraph are ON the last seasons

young shoots I'm 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 lunches Of fruit. The
size, age and vigor Of the vines should
determine the amount of fruit that
each should be expected TO mature II
Is good plan 10 work for n smaller
number of punches than the vines are
able TO carry and have the berry of
good size, well maturcd and properly

lhe spur system Of pruning is the
'he most commonly practiced. This
system consists Of cutting away the
'ahes of the last seasons growth and
eaNlng only two or three buds at tbe

By ]. S. COTTON.
Improvement of the class Of stock
using the grazing lands is becoming
constantly more important. The man
who is running his stock in inclosed
areas or contemplates so doing in the
future will find it necessary if he is to
be successful to carry that class Of
stock that will net him the greatest re-
turns. This statement holds equally
true for the outside range. In fact,
there are only two methods whereby
the man who expects to continue run

NEW TAX LAWS ARB A FAILURE

"With Warrington dry and Fair.
mont threatening to go dry, saloons
barred from Kanawha county out
side OF Charleston, and the growth
OF the local sentiment generally, the
question Of state revenue grows
more serious. 1t will have to be
faced Squarely by the next legisla
iure, aud il is up TO the Republican
party TO define clearly IN its state
platform what 1t proposes to do.
There are many proper methods OF
raising state revenue without taxing
property, and it is time they were
being adopted to The end that the
state tax may be entirely abolished. ="
Wheeling Intelhgencer.
In other words, with a $500, 600
deficit IN the state treasury we mus,
have more saloons or more some
thing to raise money for the luxury
OF eNtravagant special sessions of
the legislature, with ITS numerous
attaches and attendant graft. Is not
thus confession that the new tax
laws, enacted and enacted, are a
failure, insofar as revenue is con
ccrned, and that il must all he done
over againr This is campaign year
aud of course there will be fresh
promises, fresh plans, fresh schem
ing and juggling IN order TO save the
state machine and its candidates
from the peoples wrath. In the
meantime perhaps the governor will
call another special session of the
Legislature to put a new crlmp into

not hesitate to tell the governor that
the state was facing a serious deficit
and something must be done and
done quick to prevent the catas

The governor hesitated and said he
did not want To- assume the respon

trick failed to work. The people
objected to an extra session, and in
his desperation the governor called
1t, which simply added to the burden
OF taxation and was powerless to
prevent the deficit.

Sometimes we wonder whether we
appreciate the full meaning of Eas-
ter Does it mean to us a supply OF
eggs and new Easter bonnet, or
should 1t mean the death of old en-
mites, of doubts, fears, and all vex-
ations OF spirit which are the fruits
OF exactly these conditions of mind
and hearth
And should 1t not mean to us the
resurrection of that truth which we
are promised shall set us freep Sup
pose we accept the message in Just
this way. Suppose we make up our
minds that with the dawn of Easter
morning We will cast out from our
hearts all the bitterness, no matter
how long we have harbored it; tina,
we will let go of unkind feelings of
the desire TO injure another; thatwe
will cultivate faith in ourselves and
our neighbors. and that we will pro-
ceed to manufacture all the happl-
ness possible.
Our harvests correspond in quality
to the seed we SOW.
When a good farmer is not salts
fed with his crops he sets to work to
discover what is wrong-he changes
the seed.
Are we all satisfied with the har-
vest Of our lives1 If not, does II not

blessed season in which to begin.
