A FOND FAREWELL TO "25"
Girl With Angelic Patience and Limit
 less Wisdom is no More

Those who took down the telephone receiver and called for "25' last week were greeted with the startling inform ation that the fair maid in question is no more. What "25" no more? No more. And thus passes from our daily life timehonored institution which gave the kicker an outlet for his grouch at any time of day or night, and was an ever present help Tn time of trouble.
 Everybody knew "25,'' the human encyclopedia. who had more wisdom than any of the white bearded wise men that ever came out of the East If you forgot that the 9:O7 train left at seven minutes past six, all that you had to do was to call "25" and she d tell you. And when the subscriber flew off the handle and called "25" to remark in loud and raucous voice that the company could send up blacksmith to yank the darned thing off the wall, did you ever hear of "25" getting excited? No, no, she was lady. she was, and listened to all vocal and temperamental explosions with quiet dignity. You could call the company all the names in the vocabulary, but ''25" never shouted back, you're another. She just said in silky smooth voice, "WeIl look it up." But that ladylike remark didn't necessarily mean that the wire stopped hissing like busted steam pipe.
 The telephone companY's new direc- tory marks the passing of "25" In the general instructions, you remember it used to say if phone isn't listed call "25''; If there's any trouble, call '25"; if you wanted to speak with MaybelIe

HILLCREST SURGICAL HOSPITAL OF PITTSFlELD. MASS, ONE
 YEAR OLD MAY FIRST.
crest in Twelve Months-A Look Ahead.

Hillcrest Surgical hospital of this city was opened one year ago Saturday. It was conducted as a private hospital by its founder, Dr. 0. H. Richardson, for @ period of about two months when it was incorporated as a public hospital under the charitable laws of the state of Massachusetts. The annual report will not be issued until the end of the cor poration year, which is July 9.
 It is interesting to learn that during the year the hospital has accommodated 569 patients:-of this number 522 re- quired surgical operations; the remain ing AT underwent treatment only. The work is all surgical and as the average stay of each patient in the institution is only two weeks, many more patients are accommodated than though it were a general hospital where the average stay is much longer. The remarkable success and recovery of patients at Hillcrest Surgical Hospital is attracting attention all over the country and patients now come here from four states to be operated upon. There are 21 graduate trained nursss, house surgeon, and nine others employed in the kitchen, diet kitchen, office, -"Berkshire Evening Eagle.

CULTURE OF GRAPES.
Don't Prune Vines Until Chilly Weath-
 CT Is Over.

Grapevines should not be pruned un- til cold weather has entirely passed. Any time in April is soon enough. The middle of the month in more mortimer ly sections is the surest date. Vines pruned just before the buds commence to swell may bleed n little, but this will cease as soon as growth starts and will do less injury to the vine than carly pruning. AS q general rule the buds f2rtl2r out on the canes grow the best clusters of grapes. prune the canes to the proper length, tWO arms four feet iI lcIrth, with spurs having two e. th"e| buds to the spur Tie the ar.,& tO tho trcllis bars. so the clusters Of fruit will hang down. with ple%iy of light and air. and they will be f"ae from rot and mildew, the grapc1 TipeHia- carly and fully. The grourd between the rows and under the trellis bars must be kept clean and the soil mellow to take in the dews and light rains. When the grapes commence to swell spread n thick coat of fine routed manure. mixed with fine cut grass. around the vines and enc foot out from the grape on each side. This mulch will keep the ground moist and cool, which will permit d greater development of the fruit
 The vines should be planted in rows eight feet apart planting one gral
 eight feet apart in the rows. This will give plenty of room for horse culture and for the air and sunshine, which are necessary for best development of both vine and fruit. By this method the vineyard can be cheaply and quickly cultivated, the canes tied up as they advance in growth and sprayed. The punches of fruit will hang down through the foliage, which will pre- vent mildcw and rot. The following year two canes near the head or june tion of the arms are taken and the old canes cut off and removed. In this way we have a new growth of well ripened wood and are sure to be re- warded, when proper care is given. with an abundance of choice, wei! ripened clusters of grapes. The best fertilizer for grapes is rich, well routed manure mixed with one-half peck of fine ground animal bonemeal to each bushel of manure. Mix the two to- gether, spread it evenly under the trcllis bars the latter part of October and cover with q light furrow run on each side of the TOW of grapes, or turn under with the digging fork. This dressing besides supplying the fertilizing matter necessary for the growth of the vines and perfection of the fruit, will make n mellow soil that will hold the moisture and make deep soil easy for the roots to spread out and make strong, healthy growth. Grapes may be set out this month or In October. Select any land. Land that will grow the regular farm crops will grow choice grapes. Plant two-year- old vines. Good. stocky vines may bo had for 10 cents each for family eating. Twenty vines properly planted and cared for will give an abundant supply of fruit. The Concord. Mag ara, Clinton, Catawba, Salem and Campbell Early are standard varieties of established merit.

 In the new directories there is no "25." But just because that number has been abolished, one mustn't think that there is nobody at the telephone office you can bark at when you're angry, or ask how near Lieut.. Shackleton came to the South Pole, because there is. They have new titles and the growl depart ment has been separated from the in formation bureau, that's all. There is limit to human endurance.

Subscriber Calls Attention to a Con-
 temporary's DexteritY.
 To THE EDITOR OF THE CONNECTICUT
 WESTERN NEws:-
 A rather interesting matter was called to my attention a few days ago and I wish to call your attention and that of your readers to it. The Winsted Citizen few weeks ago contained an article criticizing one of the papers published in this county for cribbing news from it without giving the Citizen credit for the same. In the issue of the Citizen dated Friday, April S0th, 1909, note appearing which have been lifted bodily from THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS of April 29th, 1909. without giving that paper credit for the same, three of which are first page stories. In one or two instances the Citizen cribbed even the headings from THE NEWS but never mentioned the fact that the articles had already appeared. The articles referred to were as foilows-on page one of the Citizen appeared the articles entitled "Jerome Was Smoke Hungry" "Lilley Had Intended to Sojourn at Twin Lakes" and the Pease birch bark story; on page two appeared the reports that station and postoffice would be established at Twin Lakes, Canaan School Children are Good Savers and "Dead Heron on Engine Pilot; on page seven appeared, under the Canaan Happenings, two articles, one that Frederick Manvel was going to Italy and another announcing the marriage of former Canaan girl and upon the same page under the Lake vile items was published an article which had appeared in the Salisbury items in THE NEWS about monstrosity which has been exhibited by James Ball. In all of these instances no credit was given THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS. It would seem as though the old ada2e to the effect that People liv- ing in glass houses should never throw stones" should be taken into consider ation by the Citizen.
