ENGLAND'S SACRED BEAST.
o7"ritten Law Against Shooting Ever
hen Eatina Eoxes

Town IN the country the other
day There was n village sensation in
which | was called upon to adiudi-
cate for the farmers assembled in
the parlor of the only village inn
writes the London correspondent oil
Town and Country. Zone of their
number had shot a fox which had
prowled about among the fowls for
SO many nights that fowl keeping
was becoming a risky business.
"The ordinary farmer does not
mind losing an occasional hen, but
reynard is greedy beast and kills
for the mere pleasure of the thing,
and the hunt does not always pay
up promptly. SO here was fine
point in sporting etiquette to be
settled. The farmer had shot a fox.
He did not deny l. In fact, he pre-
ferred to t st his chest with
pride, as if irdshance of all the un-
written laws of British sport.
"Now, custom from time imme-
mortal has decreed that the fox
shall be as safe from gun and trap
as if he were sacred. He belongs to
the hounds and must be allowed to
roam through the covers and farm
yards at will, devouring what may
happen in his way. Custom, too,
demands that the hunt shall pay
the damages. The hunt generally
pays, though in innumerable cases
the secretary is well aware that he
is being swindled.
"But this particular farmer said
he had hunted for many years him.
self and had never made claim for
lost hens. A year or two ago, how
ever, fox had paid a nocturnal
visit to his fowl yard and had played
havoc with the feathered denizens.
A night or two after it happened
again. A third time the fox came
ground and made a most deplorable
mess ia lot of fine Wyandottes
and some expensive Buff Orping-
tons.
'Then the farmer wrote to the
aunt secretary and asked for dam
ages. The reply was that the claim
would be attended to shortly, and
at Christmas the settlement came
in the form ola nam. Thereupon
the farmer declared war on all foxes
and killed them ruthlessly. And
this was the pint which puzzled the
farmers on Saturday night.
"Jim Crawford shot fox last /
year. said one of the men, and no
good has come to him since. 1t

like. Let 'em kill your hens. That's
what they are there for, and if one

lonhunting districts may be had al

ry house is as expensive, if not
more so, than a London mansion.

TRIMMING GRAPEVlNES.

Do Il Soon and Get Results Mex
Spring.
November and December are good
months in which TO trim grapeyines
and get them in shape FOR next season.
A great many people make the mistake
Of delaying pruning the grapes until
the early days Of spring. when the sap
has started TO run. the result being
that the vines bleed SO badly they ex-
perience a great setback.
There is no fruit tree or vine that
requires as much attention in the way
OF pruning as grape.
The aim Of the pruner should be to
secure strong. horizontal arms and
short stout fruit bearing surfaces.

EuaERLD VINES FROM BAD PRUNING
Here is something important to re-
member in pruning aud training the
growth Of grapes the horizOntuls bear
the fruit and the punches that are
worth While.
Don't prune to secure upright
branches. except when shaping the
young vine in order to build the founda
ton for the horizontal side arms. The
bearing wood will be found to follow
the horizontal wires Of the trellis or
frame Don't have too many branches
five to eight main branches is enough
and don't let them get too long: head

out Of the main branches should be cut
