Department of Agriculture Gives
Directions for Repairing
Tree Injured by Storm.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t sometimes happens that valu-
able shade or orchard tree becomes
injured in such way as to cause a
cavity. This may have resulted from
the breaking Of a branch in q storm
or from improper pruning. Whatever
the cause the treatment is practically
the same. All decayed or decaying
matter should be removed from the
cavity and with sharp gouge or
chisel all diseased wood cut away I'M
til sound heartwood is exposed. Then,
before moisture or other injurious in
influences can act upon the newly ex-
posed parts, the whole cavity should
be filled with thin mortar, made by
mixing one part of Portland cement
with three parts of clean, sharp sand.
After the mortar has had time to be-
come stiff, but not hard, surface
coat made Of one part of sand and one
part Of cement should be added and
the surface so faced as to exclude all
moisture from the opening Of the cav
ity. An additional safeguard would
be had in treating the inside Of the
cavity with copper-sulphate solution

BEST RESULTS WITH
SCUPERNONG GRAPES
Old Overhead Arbor Does Not
Produce as Good Fruit as
TreIIiS-Cut Back Buds.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

For best results with scupernong
and other muscadine grapes the vines
should be planted 80 feet apart in rows
10 feet wide, and trained to a three
wire trcllis, says the horticultural di-
vision of Clemson college. One or two
year-old vines are best to plant. They
should be cut back five to six buds
above ground Immediately after plant
ing.
The trellis should be constructed
with the first wire 2 feet from the
ground, the second wire feet, and
the third wire 6 feet. The canes should
be trained to a fan shape over the
trellis. The usual method is for one
cane to be trained straight up the CEN
ter and two canes on each side.
If the vines fail to make as satisfac-
tory growth O little stable manure
spread round the roots and dug into
the soil will cause the plant to grow
vigorously.
There isn't much to be done for the
old vine growing on the overhead ar-

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
ary troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send a sam
pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.
um and large size bottles, for sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this

have 1t cut very freely on the down
ward stroke, which 1t would not do
were 1t straight or provided with teeth
set in the opposite direction. This
type is exceedingly useful where the
removal of branches of considerable
size is necessary. Other forms Of
pruning saws are made to be used
upon the end Of a pole, and some are
also provided with a chisel blade at
one end so that they can be used for
smoothing the cut surface after saw
ing off a branch, or for cutting off
small water sprouts or branches in the
same way that they would be cut with
a hatchet. The method Of removing
branches, however, is not to be COM
mended, as it is seldom possible to cut
them close to their origin, which is, Of
course, necessary in order to secure
the best results.
