an important item.

Borers can be kept out by careful
pruning and cutting away all canes
where they appear and burning them.
Black rot appears only where rows

are the only diseases or pests which

PROPER SITE FOR VINEYARD
HilIy Ground Should Be Preferred
With Slope Towards South-Fre-
quent Cultivation Needed.

In selecting a site for vineyard
hilly ground should be preferred and
the slope should be toward the south.
This will give the necessary air venti-
lation and the hot sun for ripening.
Any soil that is not too poor Will do'
but it should be free from hardpan'
as the deep roots protect the vines
during a drought. The first few years
after planting give the young vines
chance to make a healthy growth.
Keep the weeds down with the fre-
quent cultivation. This ought to be
kept up during the entire life of the
plant. for without it there can be no
great success in grape growing.

Poor Hen Had to Die.

One Friday Mrs. c. p. WaisneI
bought a hen at an Atchison grocery
store, intending to kill, dress and cook
it for Sunday dinner. She took the
hen home, where it promptly laid az
egg. Mrs. Waisner was pleased, and
did not kill the hen that day. Satur'
day the hen laid another egg, and Mrs
Waisner decided to spare the hens
life as long as it laid eggs. 1t laid an
egg every day for a while and ther
showed a disposition to set. BY thai

EVAPORATION of Fruits.

The main change which takes place
in the evaporation of fruits is the loss
of water, but other changes also oc-
cur. Very often the right degree Of
heat produces changes not unlike
those which occur during natural RI

PRUNING and Spraying.

Some people fall into the mistake
of supposing that every tree needs
pruning and spraying, but such is not
the case. 1t is for you to decide
whether your tree needs pruning and
for others to decide whether their
trees and shrubs need spraying.

"Around the Map" Next,
at the New Amsterdam

From "Moloch" to around the Map
threatens to be a good leap. I'm
doubtedly il will be good in more ways
than one. Around the Map" is one OF
those big musical productions. and
promises 10 be everything that
"Moloch" was not. The New Amster-
dam Theatre, however, has had several
weeks OF idleness In which to prepare
for the change, and all is expected 20
pass off smoothly. The premiere will
occur tomorrow night.
The new show Is musical globe
trot,' and this fact has given Joseph
Urban the opportunity to cut loose
scenically. There are thirteen scenes
in the piece, and all of them have been
urbaned. c. NJ. c. Mcclellan. author of
THE Pink Lady" and countless others,
has supplied the book and lyrics. The
music is by Herman Finck, better
known abroad than in this country.
However. he wrote several numbers Of
"The Girl from Utah" The dependable
Julian Mitchell has staged the musical
numbers.
OF course. there is story of suf-
fcient strength to carry the characters
on the globe trot. A wager of half a
million francs figures prominently in
the action, and the cast is whisked TO
Berlin, Port Arthur, San Francisco and
numerous other points. The piece is in
three acts.

Norman is most effective foil in a
contrasting character which is well

without its theatrical touches, but its
dramatic appeal is undeniable. Al the

as the best achievement Of the season.
"Mrs. Boltay's Daughters" at the
