REMOVE ALL TRASH
 FROM THE ORCHARD
Many Insects and Fungous Dis- eases Can Be Destroyed Dur
 ing Cold Winter Months.

Farmers do not, as a rule, realize the value of cleaning up the orchard during winter. Many insects and fun gous diseases which would make trou- ble the following season can be de- stroyed in the cold months. First re- move all trash and burn it, thereby de- stroying the insects that are lying dor mant. Then remove from the orchard all mummied fruits. Old, rotten peaches apples. plums and other fruits, whether on the tree or on the ground, contain millions of spores which are capable of spreading diseases to the next crop of fruit.
 An order of work that is recommend ed by Clemson college is to prune the orchard, clear it of all trash and then blow thoroughly. Such system will aid materially in the production of Q perfect crop of fruit the following sea soa.-Clemson College.

 Fall or winter pruning of grape vines in the home garden, as well as on the commercial plantation, may be done at any time during mild weather while the vines are in a dormant con dition. In general, the period from November to March gives the most satisfactory results, but the work should in all cases be done at least a week or ten days before the vines are likely to start into growth.
 In the colder sections of the coun- try, wherever varieties not hardy enough to withstand severe winters are grown, the vines must be artificial ly protected. Under such circum- stances the vines should be pruned as soon as they become dormant. The system of pruning should be such as to easily admit of laying down the stalk and canes for next seasons fruit production. The next step is to

PruninQ Blackberries

It is best to prune blackberries in the fall. Usually only five or six canes from each root should be allowed to grow, the others being pulled out while they are still small. When the canes are two and one-half to three feet high the tips should be cut or pinched back two or three inches. This checks upward growth and many laterals push out These laterals bear the fruit the following season.

Beefsteak Chowder.

Cut slice of salt pork into small lots, with one onion minced fine: cook un- til a nice brown; add one quart of boiling water, let simmer five minutes, then add one pound round steak cut into strips one-half-inch thick and two inches long; bring this quickly to a boil, then simmer until the meat Is tender; add four or five pared and sliced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, add more boiling water and when potatoes are tender add one and one-half cupfuls of good rich milk or cream; split six or eight crackers, put into soup dish and pour chowder over them, sewing at once.

Soluble salts should not occur in ex- cess although the vine will endure large proportions of alkali
 The deep roofing of grapevines is absolutely essential to long-lived plants and the production of large yields of excellent fruit. In irrigated sections, where rainfall does not oc- cur during the growing season, the depth of root penetration is deter mined by the abundance and location of the moisture. Loose, open soils, wetting easily to good depth, per init deep penetration of the soil-mass with feeding roots. Vines in such soils make vigorous top growth, with corresponding well developed stems and spurs, and are capable, if prop erly pruned, of bearing enormous crops of well developed fruit of desirble quality. Compact soils, carrying large percentages of moisture near the sur face and none below, cause the plants to become shallow rooted. The min- eral food supply is consequently lim- tied and the roots are subjected to extreme and rapid changes of temper ature and moisture. Such plants pro- duce inferior fruit, the yielding dur ing season varies greatly, the produc- ing lifetime of the plant is short, and the vineyard is likely to result in financial loss. The selection of the right type of soil is therefore very essential to success.
 Pruning and training are also impor- tant factors to consider in the culture of grapes.
 In the overhead system the vines are carried upon a canopy of over head arbor six feet above the ground, consisting of three horizontal wires stretched at the same height. The

KEEP GARDEN SOIL
 FREE FROM JUMPS
Seedbed Should Consist of We'll Firmed and Fine Earth-Large
 CIods Are Injurious.
(By DR. J. O. MORGAN, Professor of Agronomy. College Station. TeXas)

(By DR J. O. MORGAN, Professor of
 Agronomy. College Station. Texas)
 The reason why it is usually recom- mended that soil in the garden be deepened gradually is that the blow ing up of a large amount of dead. inert subsoil at one operation results in temporarily decreasing the producing power of the land This is especially true if the soil in question is under lain with a plastic, impervious clay subsoil. Such soil should be plowed in the fall and the practice should be to blow from one to one and half inches deeper each year than was practiced the preceding year until the soil has been deepened sufficiently.
 The presence of clods in the seed bed, whether they be on the surface or underneath the surface, is injuri. ous because of the fact that they de- crease the water supply for the crop. Large Jumps massed together under heath the surface have between them large air spaces. Such a condition not only allows the rain water to perco- late to lower depths too rapidly, but it admits too much surface air, which rapidly dries out the Jumps and robs the seed bed of it's moisture. The seed bed should consist of we'll firmed and fine earth if the roots or crops are to penetrate it readily

To Starch Fine Linuerle

Many housewives experience great difficulty in laundering fine lingerie, such as dainty waists, jabots, collars and so forth. The chief difficulty seems to lie in giving them just the proper degree of crispness. Rinsing them in a solution of borax gives the right degree of stiffness and renders them just like new. Two heaping ta- blespoonfuls of borax to five quarts of water is a good proportion This is also excellent for thin dresses trimmed with lace.

PULVERIZED SOIL IS
 BETTER THAN CLODS
PIantfood Already in Ground Is More AcCeSsible-Land Ren-
 dered More Fertile.

Soil well pulverized before the crop is planted is much more productive than cloddy land or any land left with an uneven surface, because the plant food already in the land is made more accessible and the little root feeders which literally fill the ground can bet earth and air.
 Land thoroughly plowed and thor oughly pulverized before planting is not only rendered more fertile from a natural standpoint, but is in far better condition to receive whatever artificial fertilizing one may wish to apply.

center wire is fastened to posts which are placed at regular intervals, and the side wires are attached to three foot cross arms of wood fastened to the posts. The head of the vine is annually cut back to five canes and five spurs. The canes are fastened on the wires, two in one direction and three in the other this division being alternated each year. A and B shows vines pruned and unpruned, trained according to this system.
 In the single cross-wire system posts are set eight feet apart each way and made to project six and one-half feet above the ground, a single wire running on top from post to post in both directions. A single trunk vine is trained up each post, four canes being run from it at the top of the post and one cane is fastened to each of the radating wires. These canes are renewed each year.

1t is curious that the last novel that he

first one that really brought him his
fame. "The Call of the Wild" a dog
story, was really the first of Lon.
don's books to place him where he
belongs.-in the ranks of American
writers whose works will live beyond
this century.
