FOR LITTLE LADS SAKE

When somebody mentioned the near.
ness Of Christmas The Man looked
quickly at his Lady Fair, hoping that
she had not heard.
She stood little apart from a group
Of friends, and The Man saw at once
that she was biting her quivering lips
and trying in vain to stem the tide OF
tears.
Well go home, Lady Fair" he sug.
gested, and quietly they made their
adieus.
Christmas is coming" she whis.
pered in a quivering, fearful voice.
burying her head in his shoulder when
they were again in their own home
and The Man could only pat her hands
and wipe away the hot tears that
coursed down her cheeks, for there
seemed just nothing at all that he
could say.
Last year when everybody called
Merry Christmas" to everybody else
and glad carols rang out the joyous
season throughout the land The Man
was taking down the holly wreaths
from the front windows of their home,
while Lady Fair was crying out her
anguish to God beside the still, cold
form of the Little Lad-Little Lad,
who had given her a tender smile even
as he was slipping through the Open
Door as the Christ Child birthday was
ushered in with joyous song.
II can never go through with Christ
mas, for Oh, he loved It so" sobbed
Lady Fair.
He loves it no less now," reminded
The Man, but his words brought small
comfort to Lady Fair, whose heart
was so filed with a mothers longing
that all through the night she called
out in her sleep for Little Lad. whom
God took on last years Christmas
Eve.
The Man found The Boy in the city
street. He was standing in a drift,

acteristic growth of the variety and
vigor of vine. Under ordinary condi-
tions usually from four to six buds are
left on the shoots for the lower trellis
wire and from eight to ten on those
for the upper trellis wire. 1t must be
understood that this number is only
suggestive and the grower must use
his judgment as regards the number
of buds. He will be materially assist
ed in this II he will remember that
under favorable conditions each bud
left will produce a shoot Che following
season and that each shoot should pro-
duce from three to five lunches of
grapes. Our vine, properly pruned and
tied to the trellis the following spring
will look like the one illustrated in
Fig. 2.
If the vines are old and neglected,
some difficulty may be experienced in
getting the ideal form of vine. Under
such circumstances the grower should
not expect a well-formed vine for at
least two years.
In cases of this sort 1t may be nee
essary to develop new trunk. This
may be done by selecting one of the
shoots which has arisen from the base
of the vine or low down upon the old
trunk. 1t should be left just long
enough to permit of tying to the upper
treIlis wire. The following season it
will produce shoots and may then be
handled as a new vine.
Observation will reveal that each
succeeding season the bearing wood
is getting farther and farther removed
from the trunk. In time it becomes
desirable to get back nearer the root
system. This is accomplished by TAX.
ing out renewals. Renewals are of
two kinds-low and high renewals. A
low renewal is takeH from near the
base of the plant and ultimately be-
comes the trunk. 1t is essentially de-
scribed above. A high renewal is a
renewal of the extension of the trunk
(arm) from which the cane arises
High renewal is accomplished by Sc
lecting shoot arising from the trunk
near the trellis wire or at the base of
the arm from which the canes arise
Low and high renewals are illustrated
in Fig. 8.

arises several shoots &C." /, 2, 3, ETC.,
which have been produced the past
season and which, at or near their
base, produced the fruit crop. These
shoots Of the growing season just past
become the canes of the coming sea-
son. 1t will be noted that each of
these shoots possess a number of buds.
If all were left there would be too
many new shoots next season enGeav-
oring to produce fruit, which would
result in the weakening of the vine
and inferior fruit production. In addi-
ton, the vine would soon be only a
tangled mass similar to a wild grape
vine.
Pruning of this vine will consist in
reducing the wood so that it may be
kept within bounds and still produce
the maximum amount of good fruit
without weakening the plant. 1t is ev-
ident that we must select four of the
shoots to replace the four two-year-
old canes. Two things should be kept
in mind in making this selection.
First, that the shoots selected should
be good, vigorous ones; second, that
they should arise as near the base of
the canes as possible, as it is desirable
to keep the producing wood close to
the trunk.
In pruning the vine illustrated in
Fig. /, we will therefore select shoots
&c" 1, 9, Z, 8. Shoot C." 6, although
nearer the trunk than &C." 8, is dis
carded because of its weakness and
lack of sufficient strong buds. We
will remove the canes and shoots 9TH
er than those selected by making cuts
at Cd"
The next question which arises is
how much of shoots &C" 1, 9, Z, 8 should
be removed. This depends upon a
number of factors, such as age of
plant, distance between plants, char

ure, but did not dispel the scowl on
his fresh young face, nor obliterate
the tear stains.
Are you going my way?" ques-
toned The Man.
u amt goin no way" replied The
Boy, sullenly.
Which was true enough. for the
path he had chosen leads nowhere,
and the trail to the nowhere is full of
thorns. He had left home, but he had
no idea as to where he would even
spend the night, to say nothing of all
the nights the future held. 1t did not
seem to matter to him in the very
least. He was removing his obnoxious
presence from the sight of his mother
and that was all he needed to know.

action.

answered The Boy to every question.

a little persuasion The Boy con-
sented.
When Lady Fair saw them coming
the scowl had left The Boys face,
but it was still tear-stained and grimy.
Nevertheless. she gathered him into
her arms without a question. and
when she asked him about his mother
