Third year: Numerous canes will
be thrown out from the two that were
left the preceding season. Tho prun-
Ing n ccssary this year will consist Of
removing all canes except four, one
going each way from an old vine on
both wires. These four canes are com
monty called arms" They form the
frame on which the fruiting canes will
be produced
After this year the pruning will con-
sist of renewing the four "arms" each
year when suitable canes of the pre-
ceding seasons growth can be found
to take their places. II this cannot
be done, all the canes should be cut
back to two or thrco buds. These
buds will throw out shoots the next
season on which the fruit will bo
borne. 1t is always best to renew the
arms each year If possible. When this
method is followed, each vine vii! pro-
ducc from 70 to 100 punches of grapes
each year, which is enough. The
vines are also kept thinncd out, so
that the sun can strike all portions
and that spraying can be done sue.

prices. If for no other reason than
this, farmer should hesitate to cross
breed. Keep in mind clearly the diff.
terence between the purebrcd and the
crosSbrcd. The purcbrcd is the off.
spring Of two purchrcd parents Of the
same breed. The crossbrcd Is the
offspring of two purcbred parents of
different breeds. a crossbrcd can
never be registered. even if each OF
us parents was breed champion.
If cross breeding Is inadvisable,
however, grading is advisable and is
recognized as the quickest economical
way Of building up Il herd. Grading Is
the mating of purcbrcd with a scrub
or with n grade. Generally the puro.
bred used is the sire and the scrub or
grade is the dam. Grading is perfectly
safe because all the power is on one
side and the results can be predicted.
purcbred Angus bull mated with
scrub COWS will produce calves OF

power of pure blood over mixed

young breeder to begin than with a

rev years he can make his herd as
profitable as purebreds and will have
learned how to take care OF a pure.

WHY CROSS BREEDING is NOT ADVISABLE

Farmers sometimes get the mistak-
en- idea that cross breeding will i'm.
prove their stock. On the contrary
cross breeding has many dsadvan-
tagcs and farmers are strongly adyiS-
ed not to attcmpt it. 1t has at times
been used with success in the hands
of breeders OF long experience, but
for the inexperienced breeder it is q
most dangerous practice.
Cross breeding is the mating Of two
purcbrcd animals of different brccds;
for example. & purcbrcd Hereford bul
with a purcLrcd Angus COW, or a pure
bred Berk shire boar with a purcbrcd
Duroc-Jcrscy SOW. 1t should be clear
ly distinguished from grading, which
means the mating Of purebred with
scrub or an animal Of very little
pure blood, and which can be done
with perfect safety and is urged upon
farmers.
One OF the principles upon which
livestock breeding IS based Is that
like tends to beGct like When two
purcbrcds Of the same breed are
mated, we expect the offspring to be
like its parents, because there is, be.
hind each parent, long line of pure
blood. When two purcbreds of diff
fercnt breeds are mated (crossbreed.
ing), there at once takes place a
battle Of breeds and the offspring will
be like that parent whose blood Is
strongest. When, therefore, two old
breeds, as Tamworth and Berkshire,
or Jersey and Holstein, are mated,
there Is a bitter conflict between
bloods and influences that have rcquir.
ed centuries to reach their present
state.
In cross breeding the first cross Is
sometimes good, but after that such
breeding Is very uncertain, because
the nature OF the offspring will de.
pend upon whichever Of its bloods gets
the mastery. Moreover there Is
danger that sometimes the good
blood in each parent will balance that
in the other, which Will cause an out.
cropping Of some bad characters that
had been held in check ever since the
breeds began.
Because Of this uncertainty OF re-
suits, a crossbred sire should never be
used nor any crossbred females kept
for breeding. except where pure
bred is at the head Of the herd. Be-
cause breeders understand this,
croSsbred can never bring more on
tho market than 1t Is worth for meat
or work, and the farmer who breeds
such animals loses his chance of enI,
ing his best product at purebrcd

TRAINING AND PRUNING THE GRAPE
WILL BRING PROFITABLE RESULTS
Grape is One of Hardest Surest Fruits But Will Not
Develop Well Without Proper Care--Very Important
to Train Vines to Some Definite Form.

Unquestionably, the grape Is one Of
tho surest fruits that can be grown In
South Carolina. Practically all the
standard varieties will succeed. Nor
Is the fruit often injured by late frost.
In general. 1t is safe to say that when
vines are properly cared for there is
almost certainty OF crop every
year.
But although the grape will pro.
duce some fruit under almost any
treatment. yet results that are really
worth having cannot be obtained with
out proper care Of the vines. The ola
practice Of planting vine Just any.
where and letting 1t grow at will Is en-.
tirely wrong. Under such conditions,
vines become thick and fall on the
ground, there is a tendency to over
production of fruit to small lunches,
and inferior berries, and 1T about tho
time the grapes begin to color up, they
begin TO rot. AS a result, when the
fruit should be ready for use, one-half
or two thirds Of it is worthless. Be
sides, vines handled thus are weak
and last only few seasons.
Perhaps the worst mistake in grape
| culture is failure to prunc properly. It
! S very important that the vines be
trained to some definite form. The
| easiest method Of training the grape
s rs follows
First year: Plant one-year-old vines.
AS soon as they have been put out
cut them back TO three buds, as shown
II (a) in illustration. Should all three
| Of these grow, rub one off, leaving the
strongest two to grow and form the
frame OF the vine. During the first
! seasons growth the young shoots
! should be tied to stake, as shown al
/ 10 in illustration. This is to pro-
/ duce healthy canes. Should they be
! allowed to run on the ground they will
/ be weak and moro liable to injury.
Second year: A trellis must now
be prepared. Set posts 20 feet apart
along each row Of grapes. This vii
| give space for two vines between each
Two posts. The posts, when set, should
| show four and one-half feet above the
! ground. The end posts should be set
/ at least three feet in the ground and
well braced to prevent giving when
Tho vines arc stretched. The other
posts should bc set at least two feet
deep. TO the posts are nailed two
wires on which to train the vines. The
lower wire is two feet above ground
and the upper wire two feet above the
lower. These preparations made, the
young canes should be taken off the
stakes. one cut off at the height Of the
first wire and tied, and the other al
lowed to extend to the top wire, as
shown at (c).

Manure Is subject to heavy losses
from several sources. For instance.
many farmers lose practically all their
liquid manure, yet this contains more
valuable plant food than the solid.
There are a number OF ways to save

possible out Of his manure.

The most serious limiting factor IN
southern agriculture Is lack of humus
In the soil. The easiest and most
economical way TO get humus in the
