so as not to leave any stumps sticking
out and thus interfere with subsequent
pruning and cultivation. All the old
canes should be burned so as not to
scatter disease to the young growing
canes. The plantation should then be
thoroughly cultivated and kept in
growing condition until about the first
of September. About twelve Of the
young canes should be left for the
next years fruiting. The balance
should be removed and burned. The
removal of superfluous shoots will per-
NIT the remaining canes to grow
stronger. Fertilizers, especially barn
yard fertilizers, should not be applied
during the summer months. The plan
tation should at all times be kept free
from weeds and the soil kept mellow
by cultivation.

FERTILIZER FOR THE GRAPES
York Experiment. Station-!nves-
LEGATIONS of Much Value.

Little light on the value OF fertiA
Izers for grapes is thrown by the New
York station after five years tests in
several vineyards in the Lake Erie
grape belt. The field experiments are
SO contradictory that no deductions
can be drawn.
The Investigations, however, are Of
value because they suggest that money
Is wasted when spent for fertilizers to
be used in poorly drained vineyards,
those that suffer frequently from win
ter colds or spring frosts, where in
sect pests are epidemic and uncon-
trolled, or where good care is lack
ing. 1t is certain in many instances
that only one or few of the elements
of fertility are lacking in many vine
yards.
The element most frequently lack
ing is nitrogen. The soil OF many
vineyards is very uneven in quality,
and it becomes problem for grape
growers to make more uniform con-
ditions in their vineyards.

Once more silence fell upon thu

time 1t was Grislow who broke 1t.

he suggested. and Arson nodded.
You can trust Harlan for that

coat and hat.

made, but for reason of his own the
photographer contrived to be the last
to leave the mapping room. When he
found himself alone he returned has
tily to the desk and pulled out the
drawer of portents, rummaging in it
until he was fully convinced that the
little buckskin bag of nuggets was
gone. Then, instead of following the
others, he took fieldglass from it's
case on the wall and went to the south
window to focus it upon the Massin-
gale cabin, standing out clear-cut and
distinct in the afternoon sunlight on
its high, shelflike bench.
The powerful glass brought out two
figures on the cabin porch, woman
and man. The woman was standing
and the man was sitting on the step.
Grislow lowered the glass and slid the
telescoping sun tubes home with
snap.

musingly. Then, with sudden vehe-
mence: 1T is altogether a question Of

in thousand years. If that motive
prevails, you get your railroad and a

He was on his feet and moving to-
ward the door OF exit when the pro-
moter got his breath.
Here, hold on, Brouillard-for
heavens sake, don't go off and leave
it up in the air that way!" he pro-
tested.
But the corridor door had opened
and closed and Brouillard was gone.

roads hating decision sank into insig-
nificance and was forgotten. The sud-
| denly-evoked excitement focused in a
crowd besieging the window Of the
principal jewelry shop-focussed more
definitely upon a square of white pa
per in the window in the center of
which was displayed little heap Of
virgin gold in small nuggets and coarse
grains.
While the crowds in the street were
still struggling and fighting to get
near enough to read the labelling pla-
card, the Daily Spotlight came out
with an extra which was all headlines,
the telegraph wires to the East were
buZzing, and the town had gone mad.
The gold specimen-so said the pla-
card and the news extra-had been
washed from one Of the bars In the
Niquoia.
BY three o'clock the madness had
eliminated in the complete stoppage
of all work among the town builders
and on the great dam as we'll, and
gold-crazed mobs were frantically dig
ging and panning on every bar in the
river from the valley outlet to the
power dam five miles away.

CHAPTER XI
Bedlam

1t was between two and three
o'clock in the afternoon Of the day in
which Mirapolis went placer mad
when word came to the reclamation
service headquarters that the power
was cut off and that there were no
longer men enough at the mixers and
on the forms to keep the work going
if the power should come on again.
Handley, the new fourth assistant,
brought the news, dropping heavily in
to chair and showing his hat to the
back of his head to mop his scanned
and sun-browned face
why the devil didn't you fellows
turn out?" he demanded savagely of
Leshington, Arson and Grislow, who
were lounging in the Office and very
pointedly waiting for the lightning to
strike. "Gassman and | have done
everything but commit cold-blooded
murder to hold the men on the job.
Where's the boss?"
Nobody knew, and Grislow, at least,
was visibly disturbed at the question.
1t was Arson who seemed to have the
latest information about Brouillard.
"He came in about eleven o'clock,
rummaged Tor minute or two in that
drawer you've got your foot on, Grizzly,
and then went out again. Anybody
seen him SINGER"
There was a silence to answer the
query, and the photographer righted
his chair abruptly and closed the
opened drawer he had been utilizing
for a foot-rest He had long mem
DRY for tribes, and at the mention OF
the drawer a disquieting picture had
flashed itself upon the mental screen.
There were two figures in the picture,

SUMMER CARE OF RASPBERRY
Soil Of Plantation Should Never Be

During the fruiting season the soil
of the raspberry plantation should
never be permitted to become dry.
Lack of abundant moisture results in
small and seedy berries, poor yield
and quality. Over 80 per cent of the
weight of the berries Is water and
when this element OF plant food is
lacking the fruit cannot develop to
the normal size.

Protest On The

Lis t Ready
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 26.-Wilson and
the state department have practically
completed a protest against the Brit
ish black list of certain American
firms, and it was said today the pro-
test will probably be forwarded in a
few days. The state department Off
Gals said the black list injuries Ameri-
can firms in violation of international
law, while British understood to claim
it will benefit purely American firms,
and also that the United States up
held the same principle, particularly
in the Civil War.
