PROPER PRUNING OF GRAPES
Best to Cut Away Old Fruiting Canes
at or Near Where New Cane
Has Started.

In pruning grapes one should keep
in mind that the old wood that has
borne fruit once never bears again. that
the wood that is formed one season
produces the next season. and that if
all the new wood is left on the
vines it will bear more clusters of
fruit than can properly develop. With
out regard to the system of training
followed, it has been found best to
cut away the old fruiting canes at or
near the point where the new cane
started and cut away the laterals on
tho new cane.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

THE home Of the president of the
i United States, generally known as
the White House, first became known
as such when it was painted white to
cover the marks of fire after being
partially burned by the British in 1914.
structure was put down in October,
1892. 1t was the first building erected
In Washington. The site was picked
by President George Washington, who
also laid the corner stone.
The building was first occupied by
President John Adams, during the
summer Of 1900. 1t is two stories and
basement, and contains 81 rooms. 1t
is surrounded by spacious lawn and
gardens, which are Enclosed by huge
iron fence. Whether viewed through
the heavy foliage of the giant trees
or across winters mantle Of snow, it
always looks restful and dignified.
The White House naturally has been
the scene of many tragedies and come
dies, much joy, and also has had its
share of anxiety and grief. 1t holds
a peculiar interest for the people of
all nations, those of the United States
in particular 1t is a point of pill
grimage for thousands and thousands
of people annually, who come to ad-
mire its decorations and paintings,
study the relics Of past occupants and,
If opportunity offers, grasp the hand
of the first citizen Of the land. To a
greater degree perhaps than any other
building in the world, people of all
ages and ranks have mingled under its
roof.

good plan is to scatter grain plenti.
fully in the litter after the birds have
gone to roost. This grain will fur
nish feed for the early morning.
Some poultry feeders can look
after their fowls only once day. If
this is in the morning, moistened mash
may be fed, followed by throwing
grain in the litter to furnish feed for
the remainder of the day. If it is in
the evening, before dark, moistened
mash may be given, and either after
the fowls go to roost or in the morn
ing, before daylight, grain may be

THE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA.

THE late George Fitch said ''Arizona
i was made by nature in frivolous
and contradictory mood, a few million
years ago, just TO show man, when he
arrived, what she could do when she
felt like it,"
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
River-the most wonderful geological
and spectacular phenomenon known to
man-is in Arizona. Discovered by
Spanish explorers in 1910. it has been
an object of wonder and admiration
ever since. In approaching it your
first surprise is that you are not pre-.
pared for it. It's beginning is so very
abrupt. In one jump from the edge
you could go down 1000 feet.
Viewed from the rim, looking down,
1t is stupendous panorama-an unbe-
lievable abyss, 5000 to 5000 feet deep
10 to Is miles wide and 200 miles long
Its sides are lined with countless and
varied ornamental architectural fea-
lures, the whole beautifully tinted and
colored and marvelously harmonious.
Seen from the bottom, looking up. it
Is so big that it amazes and bewilders
one. On every side are endless pro-
cessions of caves, terraces, pinnacles,
towers, Duties, cliffs and peaks-storm,
carved and weather-stained-m Of
them higher than any mountain east
of the Rockies. vet none of them level
with the top. Globe trotters say that
nothing else in all the world even re-
-motely approaches this spectacle.
The color combination seems to
shift with every movement of the sun,
clouds or your position. There is a
trail to the bottom and road around
the rim.

urAH-"THE PROMISED LAND"

II IRST settled in the summer of 1S47
4 by Brigham Young and his little
band of Mormons, numbering less than
100 souls, Utah is fast coming into its
own. Utah is 100000 acres larger
than all of the New England states
combined, and there isn't much, If,
indeed, there is anything-within rea-
son--that the imagination Of man can
conceive or his heart wish for that the
state does not yield or cannot offer.
IT'S said that Utah contains enough
iron ore to rebuild most Of the steel
structures in the country; sufficient
black marble to build a column from
the earth to the moon; salt enough to
supply the world for 60 years the
greatest copper mine in all the world;
enough coal to supply her population
for 10000 years; clay and sand enough
to make the worlds supply Of brick for
many years; 4,0O0,0O0000 feet of lum-
Der and sandstone and granite in
quantities equal to the rebuilding of
the majority of the buildings in the
United States.
Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
to the value of $97, 100000 were mined
in Utah during one recent year. Good
ly quantities of agricultural products
and fruit are also produced.
Utah's climate is neither hot, cold,
dry or wet, but rather happy medium
with touch of salt air added for good
measure. Her fertile valleys remind
one of Italy, her pointed mountains
hold a touch Of Alpine beauty and
great painters say that her sunsets are
the most beautiful in the world.

The Magic Kiss

The children were long finding
the Princess's hiding place. So
long indeed that the Princess grew
tired waiting for them and at last
she got SO sleepy that she took
off her crown, cuddled down on the
ground and went fast asleep. But
as everybody knows the COLLINS
may do harm, if you fall asleep in
toadstool ring.
And no longer had the little Prin-
cess shut he eyes than the wicked
little COLLINS came creeping, creep
ing, creeping around her. And
when they saw who it was that
was lying asleep there they danced
for joy, for the COLLINS hated the
fairies. And they were all delight
ed to think the daughter of the
fairy king was in their power at
last.
What shall we do to herr" they
said Shall we make her a pris-
oner and carry her far away under
ground to be our slave?" Shall
we steal away her voice so that
she will not be able to speak or
sing any more? Or shall we cut
Off her pretty wings, so that she
can never fly again." 1--WE will do
none of these things said one of the
COLLINS. He was the wickedest
and ugliest of all and because he
was wicked and ugly, the other had
made him their king. eff We make
her a prisoner the fairies will only
rescue her, And they will bring
back her voice or make her some
more wings. No, I'll tell you what
we will do" And then he whis-
pered his plan in the other COLLINS
ears. When the other COLLINS
heard what it was they laughed
with delight only silently, so not
to wake the Princess.
The the goblin king picked the
greenest toadstool he could find
and crept up quite close to Elva's
face and squeezed the juice of this
poisonous looking toadstool over
her pretty face.

where she lived and she said that
she lived in a big house at the
end of the woods. Cossette asked
the little girl that welcomed her in
if she lived all alone. She said
she did and asked Cossette if she
would ask her mother to let her
stay with her. She stayed awhile
with the little girl after that she
went back home and lived happy
after that.

"goody" and put on their coats
and hats and all of them went out
for a walk and While they were
walking one Of the children said

the woods. And when they were
about in the middle, a ghost
grabbed them and said that to-
morrow he was going to kill them,
and they started to cry and the
ghost said if you cry l will kill you
right now And so the children
stopped crying and the next day
came and there were two ghosts
then. One Of the ghosts went TO
sleeep and one child pulled the
cover off and it was his mother
and the other ghost was their faith
er and SO their father and mother

so they went forth together. When
they came to the palace, the Queen

A Fnskv Garden Team on Brisk Morning

These boys got up early one
brisk spring morning, and in cou-
pie of hours they had the soil of
their garden plot broken up and
free of clods.
The gardener who has no roller
can get rid of his clods by breaking
them with hoe, spade, or other
tool. Clods lock up within them
selves the food that plants must
have in order to grow, and they
must be broken up thoroughly If
the gardener expects to get the best
returns. In spading the garden the
clods should all be broken with the
edge Of the spade as the soil is be-
ing turned over. Where the gar
den is plowed clods can be broken
to best advantage just behind the
pillow and before they have a chance
to dry.

A Group Of Busy Friends

"Oh, wish | were bird, with
nothing to do all day but fly around
wherever | pleased and sing all the
day long" Did you every think of
that?
Well, just watch the birds and
see if they think they don't have
anything to do. What do they de?
Let's think! They build homes for
themselves. We spend a good deal
of time doing that, ourselves, don't
We? They take care of the little
birds, seeing that they get enough
to eat and that they are kept safe
from harm. They go around and
hunt food for themselves, too, sing
ing and whistling as they fly
around. Then sometimes, when they
want to rest or visit with other
birds or people, or some of their
many friends, they perch them
selves on bush or way high in the
trees, and let the wind swing them
back and forth and chirp or sing
or trill or whistle, which is just
their way of talking and telling
what a beautiful world they know
this is
And really, isn't that what we
people do a great deal of the time,
those very same things? And we
feel that we are very busy, don't
we?
Some birds are buster than 9th
ers and some sing more, than 9th
ers. And that's just the way we
do too, isn't it?
Do most of you Juniors know
the Chickadee, that lively little
bunch of feathers? They're so
friendly, too, and are great aero
bats. We venture to say that you
cannot begin to do all the Stunts"
those little birds can do. Try it!
They are grey colored on top and
white underneath, and then, oh
browning glory, they have shin
ing black head. They only sing
about two notes, but those two
notes are SO clear and so CHEEKY
that we don't mind it a bit that
they don't know more songs.
And one Junior wrote about see
ing Peter bird, which is just an
other name for a tufted titmOuse,
another gay little bird. 1t has a
black forehead too only it's head
goes up in point and forms a
crest which makes it have a king
ly appearance. Grey is the color of
this laxative bird, that is, it's the
color of his back. His breast is
white. And do you know what he
sings? He whistles loudly and
clearly over and over again, "peto,
peto, peto, peto." That's how he
happened to be called the Peter
bird. The Titmouse and the Chic
adee think this a very nice place
to live all the year around, so they
just stay with us all year, even
through the winter.
There are many birds though,
that just like to stay around this
part of the country a part of the
year. Some like to stay just for
the summer and spend their win
tiers in the South, and others like
to stay just for the winters and
spend their summers much farther
north.
The active friendly little Junco
is one that stays here during the
winter. He's a slate cOlOred little
bird with a yellow bill and his
breast is two distinct streaks of
color, one of white and one of grey.
His song is low and sweet and his
chirp sounds just like 'tsip. About
this time of year he joins his other
Junco friends and flies off to Alas
ka to spend the summer months
Try TO see him and get acquainted
with him before he goes.
