Both Sides Optimistic.

The usual optimistic claims arc being
made by hotn sides. but il is admitted gen
orally that the complexion Of the next
Parliament will he determined largely by
the results in the Province Of quebec, which
lends sixty-fve members 10 the House of
Commons. IN the last Parliament Sir
Wilfrid Laurier had a majority Of forty
rive. which was reduced by two by-elec-
tons that returned Opposition members.
In order, therefore, for Mr.. Borden 10
form a stable government he must not
only overcome this large majority but gain
enough seats IN addition 70 give him
working majority TO do this the Conser-
vstive party must gain al least thirty seats.
in the last Parliament there were ninety
ono members who carried their Constitu-
eucies by maiorties Of less than go and
Of these forty-eight were Liberals and
iorty-three Conservatives. Twenty-three
members carried their constituencies by less
than Fifty majority and of these fourteen
we're Liberals Fourteen members had no
majority. but were elected by small plural
tiles. But the conditions I'm many constitu-
encles have changed since the last general
elections IN 1905 One constituency, East

about annexation, and a good many that

over and over again in the campaign in

How To Make a Grape Vine Grow,

A prominent editor in Pennsyl
vauia wrote to State Zoologist
Surface, at Harrisburg, stating
that his grape vine was making
but little growth, and that he
desired to learn how to make it
more thrifty. The reply of Prof.
Surface was as follows;
"To stimulate the growth of
your grape Wne, 1t IS well to
prune it back, and then fertillze
it well with a nitrogen fertilizer,
such as old stable manure or
dressing from the poultry house,
or scatter handful of nitrate of
soda in the ground around 1t
once a month after the buds
burst. Cultivation and abundant
watering, especially with soap
suds from the laundry, will also

fed that if fertihzed with some
nitrogen bearing material like
manure, and if watered well it
should make good growth and do

PRUNE NOW.
Important Facts Concerning Trees and
Grape Vines.

the time to prune your trees il
you wish to promote then
growth" says Prof. Surface
State Zoologist OF Pennsylvania
He further adds that the first
treatment of a tree infested with
San Jose scale or any other seri
Gus pest, should be to prune II
accordance with the severity OF
the injury. cit makes no differ
ence what has caused the damage
to the tree, it should be LAID down
to the general rule to prune back
the top IN accordance with the
amount of INJURY from which the
tree has suffered. When a tree
has been attacked by scale 1t is
injured worse than its outward
appearance would indicate, and
the pruning should consequently
be very severe"
Among the purposes of prun.
ing are to get rid of superauous,
limbs, twigs and brush, to shape
the top Of the tree, to open the
head in order to let IN the heat,
hight and air, and thus rlpen per.
feet fruit in the interior, to bring
down, or lower, the top of the tree
by cutting away the superiuous
upper stories, to prune away all
dead and dying parts, and get
rid of pests by pruning of and
burning to promote the growth
in certain desired directions by
severe cutting IN others, to get
rid of branches that are too long
to be reached by the spray pump,
to take out branches that would
cover others and thus prevent
perfect spraying, to thin the iruit
and prevent the weakening of the
tree by Overbearing, tolnsure the
growth and life of recently pant
ed trees, and to lnvlgorate feeble
trees by leaving but a few buds
to be pushed into active growth
instead of many developed but
partially.
To insure best results from
pruning a branch it should al.
ways be cut just above a living
branch that Is to remain, and with
the slope of the cut in the same
direction as the surface of the re.
naming branch. The surface Of
the cut stub can then be painted
with ordinary oil paint. The best
material to use is pure white lead
and raw linseed oil. The prun.
ing can be done at any time dur.
ing the dormant season or before
the buds burst. For the pur-
pose eff economy of spraying ma.
material, and thoroughness of
work, 1t Is important for the
pruning to be completed before
spraying is undertaken. Grape
vines should be pruned very
closely leaving many short stubs.
This should be done soon, or be-
fore the sap starts to flow, but
pruning after the sap starts, caus.
ing the vines to "bleed," Is not
such a serious matter as one
would suppose. 1t really results
In no serious injury. All old
raspberry and blackberry canes
shouly be cut out and burned.
Gooseberry and currant stalks
over three years old should be
pruned out. The cuttings from
grape, gooseberries, currants
and ounce can be planted in the
ground, and used to grow others
if desired. To do this they should
be well cultivated, In most fertile
soil.

good on the second bout when

trained. He has met and defeat

Mr.. VIM. Sherrard, acted as
referee. Kid Ondler, while not
in the heavy class with the Ind
ian, there being a difference of
possibly so pounds between them,
appeared a splendid specimen of
the athlete, and the contest show
ed that the first measure the eye
took of him was true. Both
men promptly settled down 10
work, and for 33 minutes every
little advantage was fought
desperately, before the Indian
gained three points down. Again
and again there were situations
or moves in the contest when it
seemed War Eagle must go down
before the high class science Of
the IoWan. and the wonder still
is that so bulky a frame as his
could move rapidly enough to
overcome defeat.
The second bout was not a whit
less spirited than the first 1t
took 26 minutes. when, without
having yielded the three points
down, Ondler gave up the contest,
the Indian having gained tie
mastery over him by means Of
the decisive toe catch, the fan
Gus Gotch trick, from which
here is no appeal.
The decision went to Chief
War Eagle, who thus far has
proved himself equal to any here.
His friends hope soon to matsh
him against some wrestler of
national standing. AS to Kid
Ondler, whom he defeated Sat
urday evening, that young man
proved an opponent Of genuine
merit. Ondlcr claims the champ
ionship as wrestler among the
national guard Of America. and
his performance showed him
worthy Of The claim.
At the close Of this event, the
Indian accepted a challenge b.
