REPAIRING FARM MACHINERY
Don't Walt Until Spring Rush Begin.
But Sec to Il Beforehand That I'm.
plements are In Good Condition.

Have you forgotten about that brok.
en- piece, lost bolt, or loose nut on one
of the implements that you intended
attending to during winter? There is
still plenty Of time for such things,
but 1t will be unwise to let them wait
until the spring rush Of work begins
and hurry calls for the machinery
come with It. Remember the "stitch
in time" and use the cold, rainy days
for overhauling broken Implements
and sharpening dull blades.
Why wait until your oats are ready
to cut before pulling out your binder
and finding that there is a new piece
to be ordered? This may cost you q
week or two of valuable time and af.
ter you have waited impatiently
through several days of fine weather
1t is as likely as not that rain will be.
gin to fall. When you order repairs
at such time, you will find that 9th.
ers are doing likewise. The manufac.
turers are rushed with orders and the
delay is often such that you are driven
to purchase q new machine. Now
is the time to inspect your equipment
and put In your orders for necessary
parts.
Keeping machine well repaired
and we'll oiled not only increases it's
efficiency and length of life, but also
lessons the power necessary to oper-
ate It.
After inspecting an implement.
tightening nuts renewing broken
parts, and sharpening dull blades, a
coat OF paint should be applied. It
will prevent the iron from rusting aud
the wood from decaying and will pro.
long the life of an implement several
years. For painting, there is nothing
better than red lead and linseed oil.

SPRING ONION POINTERS
Some Practical Suggestions About
How and When to Plant Seeds
and Sets for Best Onions.

Onions may be grown in spring from
seed or from sets. However, spring
planting Of seed is not generally so
satisfactory and sets are recommend.
ed for the man who neglected to plant
In fall and who wants early onions.
For best results with seed, plant
them in October. in order that the
plants may become established before
severe winter weather begins and that
the onions may grow off rapidly in
spring and mature early in June.
Still. II seed are planted very early
In spring and conditions are favor.
able. they will make good onions, al.
though they will be smaller and later
than those from fall-sown seed.
Onions should be planted on very
sandy loan. After the land has been
thoroughly prepared by deep plowing
and repeated narrowing. apply ferti.
lizer and manure broadcast and har.
row into the first three or four inches
OF soil very thoroughly. Lay of rows
fifteen inches apart, plant the seed in
the drill, and cover the seed to q depth
Of one.half to three.fourths of an
inch. When the young seedlings ap.
pear, cultivate frequently in order to
destroy weeds and maintain moisture.
Thin out the onions so as to leave
them standing three or four inches
apart In the row.
To grow onions from sets, prepare
and fertilize the land as when plant.
ing the seed and plant the sets just as
soon In spring as soil conditions will
permit. Plant them th"ee to four
inches apart in rows fifteen inches
apart.
White Pearl and Prizetaker are the
two most reliable varieties for this
region.
Sets are more convenient for the
home-gardener, but for a commercial
onion planter, seed-planting is to be
preferred, because onions grown from
seed keep better than those grown
from sets and because seed cost less
than sets.

injured. The following winter (after
constructing the trellis) remove the
weakest Of the three canes and cut
back those remaining, one at the first
wire and the other at the top wire.
Securely tied to the wires, they form
the permanent trunks Of the vine.
In the third year, select two strong
canes coming out near the extremity
Of each trunk and train them along
the wires in opposite directions to
form arms. Then shorten them back
to q length of two, three, or four feet,
this depending on the vigor Of the
vine. All other canes are cut off close
to the trunk.
Pruning In the fourth and subse.
Quent years consists in cutting back
new canes to two buds or entirely re.
newing the arms by cutting them out
and training new canes to take their
places. II is not always possible to
renew an arm. because of the prob.
able lack Of strong cane to take it's
place. On the other hand. the prac.
tice Of cutting back canes to two
buds, continued q long time, will
cause q thick. Objectionable mass of
spurs to accumulate along the arms.
The most desirable way is to combine
the renewal plan with the spur meth
cd and thereby suit the pruning to
the vigor and general form of the vine.
In ca4es where it SENS best to prune
an arm to spurs, thin them to q dis
tance 0f six to eight inches apart to
prevent the setting Of more fruit than
the vine can properly develop.
The best time to prune the bunch
grape Is in spring, just before the buds
Gomez out. Do not delay until the
season p too far advanced. That
pruning produces results is shown in
the accompanying illustration, the
only difference between these two
bunchesl being that the vine Of one
was pftnsd. while that Of the other
was not ~ Asg2s &c -. -!

The habits Of growth and fruit.
bearing of the bunch grape make it
easy to prune and the work can be
done much more systematically than
with most other fruits. Furthermore,
1t will stand very severe pruning with.
out injury. The fruit is borne on new
shoots from the preceding years
growth and unless the vine is con.
tinually cut back, the fruiting area
will become farther removed from the
main stem each year and will produce
long. naked canes, which serve no
purpose other than to convey plant
food to the more remote fruit.bearing
parts. Moreover, If the vine is left to
itself, more fruit will form than the
plant can properly develop. The i'm
portant objects in. pruning, then, are
to get the most bearing wood in the
smallest space and to limit the bear
ing wood according to the ability of
the vine to produce well developed
fruit. Not, infrequently vines are al

and there is consequent waste of
energy in the production of many
small. inferior punches. For best re-
suits, our common varieties more than
four years old should be pruned so as
to bear not more than from seventy
to one hundred clusters.
The method Of pruning is determin-
cd in part by the kind of training
practiced. There are several good
systems. One of the simplest, which
is also one of the best for the South.
is that known as the double Kniffin
system Of training, in which are de-
veloped two trunks, each of which
carries two arms trained to two

Use one or two-year.old vine for
transplanting and cut back the top to
