It is doubly fitting that this
should be done by the Sunday

within the financial reach of all.
For the price of a car-kare or a

intorthe hands of a wounded

as an official receipt and as life

child had in ministering to the
highest needs of the soldiers in

MAKE SUCCESS WITH GRAPES
Ground Must Be Ready and Plants on
Hand for Early setting--True
of All Fruit Trees.
CBy H. H. sHEPARDl


Last spring we set out a new vine
yard. This young vineyard con-
sisted of $50 vines, and is now,
the first year after planting, in
the best Of condition. The vines this
spring produced an average of about
dozen blossom clusters to the vine.
They were allowed to develop for
few weeks, and then all but two
clusters to the vine were removed, to
prevent early fruiting from dwarfing
the plants.
The clusters of grapes allowed to
remain on the vines are now nearly
mature and are large and perfect in
every way.
Our young vineyard was set out late
In March OF last year. Holes about
18 inches deep by 80 inches in diam
eter were dug and the-young plants
set in them before the buds had begun
to swell.
The spring Of the year is as good
a time as any, for setting out grapes,
but the ground must be ready and the
plants on hand for early setting, as
some are apt to die with late setting
This is true of all small and large
fruits as well as ornamentals
The disadvantage of spring planting
is that something may come in the

Sweet potatoes must be dug before
there is any frost if they are to be
kept long. If the vines are bitten by
frost cut them of Immediately and
dig the potatoes In a few days.
1t is necessary that they be kept
above the frost point, about IS degrees
being the ideal temperature.
1t is also essential that they be
kept dry with a free circulation of air
and possibly the best building for
keeping large quantities would be of
brick or stone, heated by a furnace.
Where few are wanted for home use,
a box or barrel of dry sand or road
dust is q good place to keep them,
and this should be kept in a room
where the temperature is not allowed
to get below 40 degrees, or it may be
in the cellar If kept up from the floor
and where there is good circulation
of air.
Permanent pits walled with boards
and covered with an open shed are
excellent storage places for nearly all
kinds of winter vegetables. l prefer
those to the cellar for best results.

fore she agreed that If he would bring
back her seven brothers she would
be his wife. Then the Wild Boy ran
away into the woods and the young
woman went to sleep for the first time
in seven nights.
AS the Wild Boy went swiftly
through the woods he sang the song
which the young woman had always
sung as she worked. And the bear,
who slept at the edge of meadow be-
side the river, heard the song and got
up and went to see who it was sing
ing.
And the bear met the Wild Boy in
the meadow and asked him where he
was going.
Il am going to find the seven broth
ers Of the young woman who is to be
my wife," said the Wild Boy. And
then the bear laughed.
You will never find Them" said the
bear, unless 1 go with you to show
you the road across the notch in the
mountains which leads into the Dark
ening Land"
Then you must come with me right
away" said the Wild Boy.
What will you do for me" asked
the bear, "if come with your"
81 will be your friend" said the Wild
Boy.
THAT will not do" said the bear.
You must be my brother!"
And for a while the Wild Boy
studied about what the bear had said,
and then he agreed that he would be
the bears brother. So the bear passed
his tongue over both cheeks of the
Wild Boy. and the two went on to find
the seven lost hunters.
In the Darkening Land they found
the seven brothers of the young
woman and brought them back to heI
house. But then, when the young
woman got ready to go with the Wild
Boy as his wife, the Wild Boy cried
out:
mo, do not want a wife, for 1 am
brother to the bear, and must stay to
live in the woods!" And ever since
the Wild Boy has lived in the woods
where only the bears know where tc
find him.

OUTDOOR PITS TO
STORE VEGETABLES
Cabbages, Parsnips and Carrots,
Are Not Injured by Freezing
Dig Shallow Trench.
cBy c. S. M1LLERo

Not all vegetables require the same
treatment, and it must be understood
that the kind of storage that is good
for one would be fatal to another.
Cabbages, parsnips, satisfy and carrots
are not injured by freezing. Irish po-
tatoes, celery and apples will stand a
light freeze, while sweet potatoes will
be ruined even by frost.
l have not often kept great
amount of vegetables in cellar, and
prefer the outdoor pits, especially for
apples, celery and the vegetables that
are not injured by freezing. / dig
a shallow trench wide enough for two
rows of heads, pull. the cabbage by
the root, bury in the trench and cover
with dirt, and it does not matter
whether they are covered deep enough
for keeping out frost as cabbage will
thaw out and not be injured, provided
the thawing is while in contact with
the dirt.
1t should not be stored until quite
severe weather, but If it turns cold
suddenly so as to freeze the heais solid
it should be buried at once so that 1t
may thaw out in the ground. Carrots,
satisfy and parsnips are benefited by
freezing in the ground and turnips are
not injured.
All these are stored similar to the
cabbage, being piled in a conical heap
and covered with dirt.
In order that they may be conven-
lent to get at during the winter, cover
the dirt with straw or fodder so that
the ground will not freeze more than a
few inches.
Irish potatoes should be buried in a
slight depression, have straw placed
under and on top, then covered with
dirt, or stored in the cellar they may
be piled down in one corner as mois-
ture does not hurt them, and they
should be kept as cold as possible
without freezing.
Apples are kept the same way as
potatoes, and It adds to convenience In
handling if the pit is kept dry by a
movable shed or short boards.
Apples are much better kept this
way and only a few should be kept in
the cellar for immediate use.
Celery must be stored in moist earth
whether in the cellar or pit.

way of getting the plants set early
when they are in perfectly dormant
condition.
1t is not a safe plan to set out any
vines, bushes or trees, after the buds
have begun to swell or the leaves out.
Wherever possible, set in the fall and
be sure of a good stand.
AS a rule grapes and other small
fruits are set too close together. Rows
five or six feet apart is the average,
but this is too close.
Grapes must be cultivated, fer
tilted, cared for in general, and the
fruit picked. With narrow rows, cul-
tivation and fertilization are difficult
and unsatisfactory.
If the vines must be hoed and the
earth among the vines dug up with
a spade or mattock, there is little prof
it in the crop. The roots of the vines
after a third or fourth year, reach
down and out in the soil for many
feet, and with vines close together
and rows only five or six feet apart,
the roots must struggle with each 9th
er for moisture and plant food.
We set out our young vineyard with
plants eight feet apart in the row
and rows eight feet apart The dis
lance apart for the rows allows for
the use of two-horse tools, and hence
makes cultivation easier.
Last spring and summer we cult
waited the young grapes with two
horse cultivator, with three shovels
to the gang. Between the rows pota-
toes were grown. This year melons
are grown between the grape rows, as
they extract small amounts of mois-
ture and foods from the soil.
This spring before new vining be-
gan we cultivated the grapes three
times with the two-horse cultivator.
AS soon as heavy growth began, the
vines were staked, the ground be-
tween rows heavily disked with two
horse disk, and melons planted late.
Subsequent cultivation of the mel
ons and grapes has been given with
one-horse double-shoveled cultivator,
smoothing with 14-toothed one-horse
harrow.
BY frequent cultivation with small
shoveled cultivators, we have been
able to conserve sufficient soil mois-
ture for good growth during very dry
conditions and intense heat of June
and the first half Of July.
We are now firmly convinced that
eight feet apart for grape rows is
none too much. ALI fruits are apt to
suffer for moisture at maturity of the
fruit, just when they need it most
BY having the rows wide apart one
can go through them with team and
harrow or disk in dry times and stir
the soil for creating a surface mulch
for holding moisture.
Where the rows are close together,
the best cultivation is not possible, as
there is danger of injuring the vines
and fruit Wide rows admit of team
cultivation for saving time, it makes
the hauling of manure for the vine
yard easy, and wagon can be hauled
between rows for distributing posts
or for gathering the fruit.
AS with all crops, we believe that
frequent cultivation and stirring and
mixing the soil during the growing
season are the essentials for success.
We expect to cultivate ours every
year up to the time the fruit is ripe,
and never allow the soil to become
hard and dry.

Long time ago, in the days when
the Indian hunters followed the trail
of the bear and the deer far into the
mountains, the little boys would watch
the hunters go away from the camp in
the early morning and wish that they,
too, could go. Sometimes one boy
would run after the hunters a short
distance, and then an old man would
call out:
''Ho, little one! Do you think you
ara the brother of the bear, and do you
go to hunt with the Wild Boy?" Then
the boy would come hack to the camp.
Tell me about the Wild Boy and
the bear!" the little boy would say,
and while the old man shaped tiny
arrow for the boys tiny bow, he would
tell this story:
It was in the days when the people
lived close beside the river which runs
south, and when everybody was happy
and had plenty to eat. There was q
young woman who lived with her
seven brothers, who were all good
hunters. She kept the home for them,
and dressed the skins of the animals
when her brothers brought them in.
And all day she was singing.
But once the hunters did not come
back at night, and this young woman
sat up and waited for them.
On the seventh night, some one
came to the house where the young
o. woman sat and knocked at the door.
"Siyu!" (hello!D said voice outside,
and the young woman went to the door
to see who it was.
Out in the moonlight stood the Wild
Boy, with his bow and his culver OF
arrows over his shoulder.
Who are you?" asked the young
woman.
Il am the Wild Boy, and have come
t. make a bargain with you" said the
boy, who stood in the moonlight. Il
will go and find your seven brothers
and bring them back to you if you will
marry me. 1 have lived in the trees
with the bees and the birds so long
that am getting lonely"
And the young woman studied about
what the Wild Boy said long time be-

lose their tempers often, but they ex-

For facing, select smooth, finely col
ored fruit, little better than the av-
erage. and place one row, stems down,
after which the barrel may be filed,
using nothing but sound, perfect fruit,
rejecting all wormy. bruised, knotty
or smallsized specimens; shake the
barrel occasionally while it is being

advantage when faced with but sin

1t is essential that the barrel be
shaken a number of times while it is
being filed, for the fruit will pack
closer and there will be less danger
Of its being crushed or bruised when
it is pressed down to place the head in
the barrel. There will also be less
danger of its becoming loose or shaky
in the barrel while in storage or on
the road to market.
The ordinary sized apple barrel is
the one that gives the best satisfac-
ton in the leading markets, although
some very fancy fruit is being handled
in bushel boxes. These boxes are neat
and attractive packages and the fruit
may be displayed to it's best advantage,
but as yet too many growers are not
doing skillful enough packing to war
rant the use of this class of packages.
Another matter that should have at
teDtion is the tendency to use highly
colored fruit from certain trees for
facing and packing the middle OF the
barrel with poorly colored fruit. This
practice is being followed in many ap-
pie growing sections, some growers
even going to the extreme of buying
apples for facing purposes. Whatever
form or style of package is selected,
the time is past when growers can
