like a long list. but IL kept up con-
stantly will tend TO keep the trees in
a Sound condition. These directions
are of course general. and will have
to be modified If we are handling an
old tree I'm an effort to lower the bear
ing surface. or a young tree to give
II any desired form OF head. These
latter operations may be more properly
called training the tree rather than
pruning 1t.
Method OF Making Wounds.
The long cut parallel 10 the body OF
the tree and close to II will heal over,
because there Is young tissue all
around it when cut in this way. The
stub that is frequently left In saving

source of trouble. There being no
food sent up TO nourish the bare stub.
il gradually dies back, and may be-
come the source in time OF q hollow
limb or tree. To be sure, V requires
a good deal more time and effort to
cut with long neat wound as the re-
suit, rather than to take off the limb
where ii can be. gotten at handiest

This is a subject upon which whole
books have been written. and the art
OF vine dressing has been practiced
as long as we have any records OF his
tory. In spite OF this, however, one
can keep In mind few principles
which will enable him TO go not far
astray in undertaking to do his own
pruning In an amateur way. Usually
where the general farmer has few
vines, he likes TO prune them to the
best advantage, and IL Is hoped that
the following suggestions may be OF
use to such as have no friends who un-
derstand how to advise.
Object to Pruning.
An examination OF a vine that has
been left unpruned for a few years
will show that II has attained length
out OF all bounds for any useful pur-
pose except as a decorative or climb
ing vine. When we remember that
the fruit In all cases is borne on shoots
arising the same season as the fruit
they bear, and that the buds which
give rise to these bearing shoots are
on the wood OF last years growth, 1t
will be seen that the bearing surface
tends constantly TO get farther and
farther away from the roots. Hence
In pruning the grape vine our object
is to get the clusters OF fruit as near
TO the roots as convenient, SO as to
save the energy required to keep
alive such long streamers OF vine.
In addition to this the professional
viticulturist will have in mind some
system OF training the vines to the
wires or other support to which he
will try to lend aid or his methods OF
pruning.
How Much 10 Take OF.
Under average conditions OF soil fer
tility. when grape vines are planted
Blk TO ten feet apart each way and are
four years old or over. they may be
expected to produce from twenty-five
TO fifty punches Of grapes each. Fur

Value OF Poultry and Eggs

from the u. >. census.
The American hen produces an i'm
mense amount Of wealth every year
more than the gold produced in the
same length Of time The 1912 Year
Book OF the II. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture makes the following COM
parsons: Value of poultry

Value of silver produced

The question which should occur
to each farm home is ARE we getting
our share OF this wealth, and If not,
why not?"
Poultry raising in the United States
has thus far been a side-line to farm
ing and has almost invariably paid
well for any labor and attention given
II. The great mass OF poultry and
eggs comes from the farm, while the
specialists furnish but minor portion.
Farm poultry raising Is on the In
crease and 1t would be well for every
farmer and farmers wife to thorough
ly consider whether they could not en-
large their poultry business with profit
to themselves. They have the land,
the feed, and the labor. All that is
required is little more study and APP
LEGATION. Expenses will scarcely be
increased from what they now are, but
the profits will multiply exceedingly.
There is no kind of farm live stock
which pays greater dividends in pro-
portion to capital invested, provided
limited amount Of care is given.

why l Raise Buttercups.

BY II. w. Court, State Vice President
Buttercup Club, Kankakee, III.
Much has been said in the poultry
journals about Buttercups, and / have
been requested several times to give
my experience in regard to them.
/ have raised Leghorns for a number
OF years, but prefer Buttercups for
several reasons:
First--They are more docile and
require less feed; also they are larger.
Second-They outlay the Leghorns
and are better winter layers.
Thrd-From q fanciers' standpoint,
they are something to study, in which
j take great pleasure, and are practi
cally new.
Fourth-Their eggs hatch well and
their chicks are strong and feather
out quickly.
Much has been said about the color
OF ear lobes. Personally, l prefer
white, although l have both. and
would like it decided so as TO give
breeders "a chance to better mate their
pens. Also, some breeders are offer
ing some very inferior specimens and
are charging long prices for them,
claiming they are romimported fowls
They seem to think that anything
with double comb is a Buttercup.
/ am very sorry to say that they
are members of the \. b. c. Cannot
something be done to stop this fleece
ing the public? Until this last year
the public has not had a chance to
know what the color should be, and
even now there seems to be consider
able dissatisfaction of the standard.
l think the color and markings
should be made more definite. Also
my experience is that the so-called
imported stock is inferior to our home
bred stock.
Buttercups are surely here to stay.
Have been showing at most of the
principal shows in Illinois for the past
two seasons, and they have been the
center attraction wherever shown. At
our fair, which Is the second largest in
the state, / exhibited an incubator and
brooder of chicks, and they sure did
draw a crowd.
