PRUNE AND TRAIN GRAPE VINE
To Grow the Best Fruit the Vines
Should Be Frequently Cut
Back and Renewed.

The grape vine should be planted
slightly deeper than 1t was in the
nursery and cut back to a strong bud.
Only one shoot should be allowed to
grow.
The next spring It should be again
cut back to strong bud. the length
OF the cane varying with its size, says
the Prairie Farmer. The terminal
bud only should be allowed to develop
and the cane should be tied to stout
stake as II grows.
The next spring 1t should be cut
back at the height of four or Ave feet.
according to the kind of trellis to be
used and three buds at the top should
be allowed to develop into shoots.
The following spring the vines will
be ready for a trellls. The favorite
forms are known as vertical and hori.
zontal. The vertical trellis consists OF

eight-foot posts set two and one-half
feet in the ground at intervals of
twenty to thirty feet. These generally
carry two lines of No. 10 galvanized
wire, respectively four and Ave and
one-half feet from the ground. The
end posts should be strong and we'll
braced, and the wire should be so ar.
ranged that the slack can be taken up
when necessary. The other posts need
not be very large IL twenty feet apart,
but for thirty feet good-sized posts are
desirable
The horizontal trells differs in hav.
ing a 2x6-inch strip placed on edge
horizontally at the top of the post. so
as to form an arm two feet long, upon
which three wires are carried.
The previous years three shoots
were grown on each vine. For the
two-wire (verticaD trellis two of them
should be placed on the lower wire
and cut back to ten buds each The
other shoot should be cut off at the
height of the upper wire, and a shoot
from Il should be trained In each di.
rection. For the three-wire (horlzon.
tall trellis. a shoot should be trained
upon each Of the wires, two in one
direction and one In the other, and all
should be cut back to eight buds.
The simplest and most satisfactory
method of training the grape is by the
Kniffin system. The fruiting arms are
tied TO the wires in the spring and the
new shoots as they come out are al.
lowed to hang down.
To grow the best fruit, whatever
system is used, the vines should be
frequently cut back and renewed.
Some prefer to renew all the canes
each year. starting all Of them from
the main trunk of the vine, while
others renew but once in two years.
Whatever the method of pruning or
training, one should endeavor to leave
about 40 buds upon each vine, and
these could be as near the main trunk
as possible.

leo.
AT the time of the blooming the
plant throws up a single stalk Of rapid
growth to the height OF 12 to 20 feet,
from which the tassel-llke flowers
sprout forth. This great flower stalk
draws all the sap and vigor from the
body OF the plant, which soon withers
and dies. At the base of the thick
green leaves are found little suckers,
each with a root, which, when planted,
at once begin to grow. The edge
and end of the leaves are well armed
with stif, sharp spines, the prick Of
which is very painful. This is ma

from the ravages of desert rodents"

a New York man, is one of the most
interesting With 1t a hedge that
formerly required five hours to trim
can be clipped in one hour, or one
man can do the work of Ave. This APP
paratus consists of long rod with
shoulder piece at one end and a
pair of shears at the other. Along
this rod is a drivewheel connecting
with the rotary pinion, which operates
the crank controlling shears. The de.
vice is held against the shoulder, by
means of handle in bhe middle.
Then the drivewheel is turned, and by
means of the multiple gearing 1t opens
and closes the shears Ave times with
each revolution, thus making the ap-
paratus saver of 80 per cent. in eth
er time or labor All the operator
has to do is to keep turning the wheel
and moving the shears along the
hedgerow where 1t needs clipping.
