TIME TO PLANT FRUIT TREES
Soil Is in the Best Condition In octo-
Der or Early November-Any Good
Land Will Grow Grapes.

The month of October or early in
November is the best season for plant
ing grapes, fruit trees and shrub
bushes. The ground is just in good
condition for planting, and by having
the vines planted at this time the
ground will be settled around the roots
and they will make vigorous growth
as soon as the weather turns mild in
the spring.
Select a southern or southeastern
slope: Any good farm land will grow
grapes; wet. heavy clay land should
be drained. Plant two-year-old vines
Order them from reliable nursery
man, not of agents. The following are
standard family and market varie-
ties; they are strong growers, produc-
tive and profitable: Concord, the best
black; Niagara, the best white; Della
ware, the best red; Clinton, the best
wine grape. The Catawba is an old
favorite fruit of best quality; must be
planted on well-drained land having
warm location. A gravelly or rotten
rock soil suits it best.

spaded and work fine. Mark the rows
off with a one-horse pillow, run twice in
each row. Run the rows east and
west eight feet apart; set vines eight
feet apart in the row. Set the vines
the same depth they grew in the nur-
sery; spread out the roots, cover with
good, black earth, press the earth to
the roots as it is put in. If soil is
rather poor, spread one forkful of
rotted manure around each vine and
fork it under.
A light covering of long strawy ma
nure should be spread around each vine
before winter sets in. Set stout
oak stake eight feet in length behind
each vine. Train to one cane the first
year and two canes the second year,
and the third year put up trellis-
These trellises can be made of sea-
,soned chestnut posts set two and
half feet in the ground and eight feet
apart in the row and four strands OF
telegraph wire firmly stapled to posts.
Keep the posts whitewashed, wire
painted. The Fuller system of prun-
ing is the simplest and will give the
largest yield of fruit without exhaust
in the vine. Grapes properly cult
waited, fortified, primed and sprayed
will give a profitable yield of we'll
ripened fruit for a number of years.

Putting On, Taking Off.

Do not forget the old rules for put.
ting on and taking off gloves. When
putting them on, do not try to get the
whole glove on at once, but first work
on the fingers, taking care to have the
seams fit exactly even at the sides;
draw the glove over the hand and then
put in the thumb. but leave the seam
of the thumb down the center. Re-
member that a glove once put on
wrong can never be stretched into the
right shape again, so it is well to take
the little care at the start.

LIQUID POISON.

LIQUID POISON.
Beer, sometimes referred to as iii.
guild bread" is rather, according to
the verdict of physicians and scien-
lists liquid poison. DR.. Hugo Hoppe,
the famous nerve specialist of Konigs-
berg, Germany, says: Because the
symptoms of chronic alcoholism ap-
pear more slowly and are less readily
observable in the heavy beer drinker
than in the whisky drinker, the former
is more frequently met than the lat
ter. But thousands and tens of thou
sands of men who take their daily
pint are rendered stupid, silly and dis
solute by beer. Beer alcoholism in
general lowers the resistance of the
body to all diseases by injuring most
of the organs, and herein lies the
chief danger in the general wide
spread use of beer. The death from
liver diseases among brewers in Eng
land is more than double that in all
other occupations"

SELLING MOI DRINKING.

In Washington, D. c., while the Ma
tional Liquor Dealers Association was
holding it's meeting. a reporter said
to a bartender of that city, Il sup
pose you are not complaining of busi-
ness with the Liquor Dealers conven
ton in town" Say. b." responded
the bartender with a stare of amaze
ment,, Il guess you don't know what
convention this is. Them fellows

Pruning and Training.

A man can care for trees better IL
he makes sharp distinction between
pruning and training trees. The op-
erations of pruning have to do with
the modification of the vigor and the
fruitfulness of the plants, but train
ing, properly speaking, aims to keep
the trees in manageable shape. Train
ing high headed or low headed. open
conferred or close-centered, one-storied
or two stosied. depends largely upon
the conyoGaence or the preiRdices Of

Be Of Good Cheer.

The soul needs today the encour
agement that Paul gave to his fellow
travellers when they were threatened
with ship-wreck on the sea- Paul said
to them: BE Of good cheer, for there

God, whose am and whom serve"
1t is the souls duty to be of good
cheer, for after every storm the sun

a solution; for every sorrow, God is

port" he says. England has a vast
number of millionaires and it is their
duty to serve in their capacity as much
as it is the working mans duty to
serve in the ranks.
Let the millionaires raise money
and then England quickly would have
an enormous number of men for meet
ing all requirements. Men who enlist
should have at least five shillings daily
and are entitled to pension. If Eng
land makes the right use of her wealth
she could have an army of 10000
men in the field in forty days"

DAMAGE BY WOOLLY APHIDS
Ensiest Method for Control of These
Pests Is to Touch Masses With
Kerosene Cloth.
(By ]. G. SANDERS.l

In many instances this woolly insect
pest of apple trees has been found
working on the roots as we'll as the
upper portion of the tree. It has the
habit of collecting in white wooliy
masses at any point where the tree
has been wounded and new bark is
forming or where a twig has been
trimmed off. The external appearance

Goethe.

Besides his Ave or six consummats
works, which, by universal consent,
are practically above criticism, it may
be said that Goethe's songs are the
best in the world. He is the greatest
of all literary critics. And in subtle
and abundant observation of human
life, and in the number and value OF
his wise remarks and pregnant SEN
fences. he is one of the greatest writ
ers of all time. One may feel perfect
ly safe in claiming Goethe as one OF
the greatest men,"
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-09-08

of this insect is so pronounced that it
should not be mistaken. The easiest
method for control of these pests is
to touch the masses of woolly aphids
with a cloth or sponge soaked in kero-
sene This treatment, although re-
quiring personal attention to each in
tested tree, is most certain of bene-
fetal results.

A WONDERFUL CLUB.
Yes. have heard that the saloon
Is the poor mans club. 1t is a club
with peculiar advantages 1t saves
the poor man from paying taxes by
keeping him everlastingly broke. 1t
shields him from the responsibility
of owning his home. 1t gives him
that peace of mind known to the fell
low who don't know where he is 60
ing to live next Monday. 1t enables
30 per cent of the poor men who
are killed in factories to be killed.
1t is wonderful club. 1t prepares
the poor mans body for typhoid and
pneumonia so completely that he is
sure to die and thus he is kept from
gambling on his chances. 1t is a
merciful club, for it takes man to
the card table where he can be robbed
without being knocked down. 1t
cashes a poor mans check on Sat
urday night, and this is not all, for
1t relieves the poor mans thirst, and
If he has no thirst this great-hearted
club gives him one. 1t gives him free
lunch, and after that he will have
thirst enough for everybody in town.
All the advantages of this club are
not for the man. They go to the poor
mans family too. There is little
Johnnie who wanted to go through
school and become an engineer.
There is the little girl who wanted
to become a music teacher. But the
club knocks all that nonsense out Of
their heads. 1t sends Johnnie to the
coal breakers and poor little Mary out
into the world where men prey on
their kind, and she falls by the way
side. oh, it is great club-Ex-Con-

CONGRESSMEN FIND
PAY CHECKS DOCKED
Sergeant-at-Arm Enforces New
Rule SIicing Salaries of
Absentees.

The sergeant-at-arms of the House.
Robert Gordon, began the distribution
TODAY of the pay checks of members
for the month of August. and not all
of the checks arc for the customary
amount $S25. 1t is asserted that the
sergeant-at-arms is putting into effect
the Underwood docking resolution,
which passed the House ten days ago.
and all members absent without excuse
last month are being docked.
For the present. the names of the
docked members are being withheld, but
it is estimated that at least 10 per
cent of the members have suffered cut
in salary One New York members 8
check is understood to have been cut
nearly 500, as the member was away
nine days. The sergeant-at-arms has
adopted the plan of having members
fill out little pink slips sta ting on their
honor whether they have been absent
without leave or cause. Absentees who
were not excused BY the House, and
who cannot plead sickness, have their
pay checks sliced.
The Speaker, who signs certificates
calling for the s5c5 per month for House
members, is being furni shed a memoran-
dunn by the sergeant-at-arms of the
docked members, and instead Of filling
out a certificate for S625 the Speaker
signs a slip for whatever amount the
sergeant-at-arms says Is due the recall

There is considerable resentment over
the entire plan among certain members
of the House. and probably score or
more will decline to give statement
Of their attendance records. in which
event the sergeant-at-arms will seek to
obtain it from the roll calls.
