fruitgrowing Is onu of tho pleasnntvht and most nrontuuie orancnes 01 iiirmjn". Ak hhlpjiintf facHitics increase, ptijlo moru remote from the markets 0r able to go into the business, while the number of those who only raise enough for homo consumption is .steadily growing as persons realize the delights anil health fulness of a fruit diet The demand for reliable information as to the culture of orchard and garden fruits has caused the Xorth Carolina station to issue a bulletin on the subject . After a short botanical description of trees and plants, concise directions are given with the caution that nnyone who plants fruits should not only "enow how to treat them, but should liligently attend to their wants. The chupter on the grape is particu4 L V fivvn-viivsisa, larly interesting. The different methods of pruning the vine are described, and, as the grape crop is one of the most Important and generally popular, the methods pursued at the station are here given. In planting a vine light stakes should be used the lirst two seasons. The plant should be cut back two or three eyes, nnd but one bud allowed to grow the llrst season. The cane Is then cut hack to within two eyes of the last cut The next season two canes should be trained up. tor spur-pruning the canes should be planted SxlO feet, and the trellis is to be preferred. When growth begins, nearl3- every bud will make an upright shoot, some will have to be rubbed out so as to space the spurs about ten inches apart. RENEWAL SYSTEM. The shoots left will each bear a bunch or two of fruit, and care must be taken not to allow too large a crop at this time, as the future growth of the vine may bo injured. At the end of the first season's growth each of these shoots of one season's growth is to be pruned back to within two eyes of the arms. Cure must be taken in pruning the grape not to cut closer than an men auovo a mm, as irom tne soit na ture oi tne woou we cannot cut as close as in pruniug an apple shoot The next season two shoots are allowed to grow from the spur, and the vine is now complete. In pruning thereafter each year the shoot farthest out from the arm is cut out entirely, and the other shortened to two eyes. After years of this pruning, the spurs gradually become elongated, and it is better to grow a strong shoot next the center and cut out the old arm, and start over again. In training a vine on the renewal system the bearing wood of the first year should be cutaway in the winter at A and 11, and the young canes, C and D, tied out in place, and E and I spurred to two eyes. In this way are grown one season canes for next year's fruiting, which are then cut back, to ne succeeded by canes of the same year's growth. The whole vine about the lower wire is thus kept entirely of young; wood, care being taken not to allow the shoots to become too numerous, and any gnarled stump being cut out and renewed with a fresh shoot This is simply a modification of the renewal method. The original Guyot plan was to keep the one horizontal arm a while to spur on. and shorten back and spur alternately the upright ft THE GUYOT SYSTEM. canes, and finally take one down to renew the arm. Every grape grower soon finds the method that is adapted to Ids needs, and the pruning needed for producing wine grapes should be somewhat different from that intended to produce fine bunches for market The grower for market can produce usually a heavier crop than the wine-grower, who wants perfect sweetness and complete ripeness in all his fruit WMn Tlrr for raved Strcrtn. In order to protect the new brick pavement now being laid in Des Moines, the city council recently passed n ordinance regulating the width of wagf n, carriage and cart tires ised in the city. In ease of four-wheeled vehicles for loads of three thousand to six thousand pound ß, including weight of wagon, the tires must not be under three inches in width; six thousand to Jiine thousand, not less than four inches, and nbove nlue thousand Pounds, one Inch of tire must be added for every two thousand pounds or fraction, l.iim regulations are made for to wheeled vehicles. It is thought that pavement will be much better preyed by virtue of these regulations, jhe council has set January 1 as the date for this ordinance to go Into effect Neveu eet milk or cream In a cellar r there U the lcaat smell of mold.

ROOTS FOR LIVE STOCK.

Aft Kicrllrnt rood If l'.,..l In the Uljrh Tili wild I'larr. The average western farmer rarely grows roots, especially to feed to hh stoelf. If he lias an oversupply of turnips, ixitatoeh or something of n.ti kind that he cannot sell he will feed them out to his stock rathe; than have them go to waste. Generally no particular care is taken to do the work to the best advantage. The roots are fed more as a means of getting rid of them than because they are considered valuable as a food. Tinier these condition it is no wonde- that the best results are not secured. In no case should roots be used as a whole feed for any kind of stock. In order to get the best results they should be fed in connection with other materials. In changing from grass to dry feed they serve a a good medium In making the change. They will take the plac between green and dry feed rather better than anything else, unless we except ensilage, and it is In this way that they can be used to advantage." With hogs in nearly all eases, when it can be done without too much inconvenience, the better plan is to coolc thoroughly und mash them, adding wheat brau or cornmeal. If the whole can then ba made into a thick slop with sweet skim milk, all the better, but they make a very good ration if fed as above. Tor sheep and cattle the butter plan usual ly is to Mice and then sprinkle well with bran or meaL There are two advantages in slicing them; the danger of the animals getting choked Is greatly lessened, and the meal or bran will adhere to them much more readily. aim in uns way win maue tnem more palatable. The meat of the beef or mutton fed on roots Is usually juicy, tender and healthy, but in nearly all cases it will be better to leave off feeding the roots lor a few days before killing. The profit in feeding roots comes largely from saving what, in many cases, would go to waste and in making better beef and mutton, more milk and butter and more and better wool and lambs. They help to make up a variety of feed for the stock and lessen the time that the stock must depend on dry food alone. All the small unmarketable roots, turnips, potatoes, carrets, parsnips anil beets can be used to good advantage and often to a much better profit than if sold, especially when prices are low.

At a certain place in a turn a horse strikes himself and the pain throws him into a run.

A close estimate is given of the cost of starting such a plantation with all the items, including bringing the land to n high state of cultivation. The purchase of the plants and nil the expenses nnd labor amount to an acre the first year, while the cost of the second year brings the expenses up to 5140.

A New Method U'litrli Kcquirr Very Little t.xertlon. It is one of the fine nrts of life to do things in some easy and practical fash Ion. Who ever invents or devises a way to save labor, to do two things with the same amount of tax and exertion usual ly required for one. has conferred a lasting iHinefit on mankind. Particu larly is this the case in household af fairs. The dilllculty of getting competent help and the burden of domestic care seems to increase with every year, and easv ways to do things nrc of un speakable value, especially to delicate women who have everything to look after, and in emergencies must take up the entire labor of the establishment. A new idea in bread-making Is well worth the attention of erery woman, whether she be delicate or care-bur dened or not. A semi-invalid makes bread without weariness by a simple process. Instead of the usual kneading and mixing she uses a chopplngknife. Sprinkling on a very little Hour, she chops the springe for five or ten minutes two or three times during the rising process. No kneading is re quired except just enough to put it in- . , , . . 1 P lo snape wucii n is reaiiy lor uie pans. She never uses a bread-board, but spreads a large cloth folded over to several thicknesses on the table, covers it thick with Hour, and shapes the bread out on that, taking care that no dough sticks to the cloth. With tills chopping process, it is impossible to handle the dough in an extremely soft state. This insures more moisture in .. , ,, i n dualities. Kiscuit and other similar . , articles are made in the same way, the kneading process being almost entirely dispensed with, nothing more being necessary than dexterous handling-ami a little care that the dough does not stick to the cloth. It Is a well-understood fact that biscuits, to be good, must be very soft when put into tho pans, and in no other way can this be managed as easily as by tho method just described. X. Y. Ledger.

STYLES IN STATIONERY.

CitEAM white nnd blue pnper and envelopes are the popular colors in fashionable circles. A iiimw.v paper embossed In silver is popular among those not well posted In what Is perfectly correct. A sokt of peppor-and-salt gray for writing paper Is pretty, but not sensible, for neither white nor block ink will be clear on it. To m: In it your writing should bo adorned either with a coat of arms, u monogram or an address stamped across the middle of tho top. Silver on blue nnd dark bluu or red on white arc the fuvoritf colors, though gold is also used, especially for monograms. Sealing wax in nil possible shades is displayed, but white for lAtie paper, dark blue or red for white and black for mourning- are the colors most used. Some pretty effects nrc obtained by using n sort of clear amber wax mottled with oilver. Wax, by the way, Is a necessity in these days of very insufficiently gummed envelopes. WAYS OF QUEER PEOPLE. I.v marriage announcements in Spain the ages of both parties are given. Wki.sh mothers put a pair of tongs or a knife in the cradle to insure the feafcty of their children. Roumanian mothers tie red ribbons around the ankles of their children to preserve them from harm. Among tho ltcngalese shouting the name of the king of birds (garunda) is supposed to drive awny snakes. Shouting Kam! Ham! drives ghosts away. Tun husband does not buy his wife In Maritele. and although there Is a suggestion of a memory of marriage by capture in the details of courting and in the avoidance of the parents-in-law, jhe would appear to remain her father's property. When children are bort, the father has to buy them of his father-in-law. WHERE WE LEAD. The United States Is the richest country on tho globe. The United States stands nhcad of all nations in the value of cattle. Tim United States has twenty-two dollars for each inhabitant in the savings banks.

Ho was In tho hnhlt of inviting people of different avocation to come upon the stage, and ho would dilate upon and expound the peculiarities of their cranial coubtruction. Ho had come to that portion of his lecture where he dealt with tho criminal form of crania and addressed the audience: "If there Is any person present who at an time lias been the iiunato of a prison he will oblige me by coming upon the platform." In response to this invitation a henvilybuilt man went up. "You admit that you have been in prison, sir?" "I have bir," was the unblushing answer. "Would you kindly tell tis how many years you have spent behind prison bars?" "About t went j years," unhesitatingl replied the subject. . "Dear, dear," exclaimed the professor. "Will yon sit down, please." The subject sat down in a chir at the center of the stage. Tho professor ran his lingers rapidly through the hair of the subject and assumed a thoughtful expression. "This is a most excellent specimen. Tho Indications of a depraved character are very plainly marked. The organs of benevolence and esteem are entirely absent; that of destrttetlveness Is developed to an abnormal degree. I could have told instantly, without the confession of this man, that his life had been erratic and criminal. What was the crime for which you were imprisoned?" "I never committed any crime," growled the man in the chair. "Hut you said that you had been an inmate of a prison for twenty years?" "So I have, but I never committed any crime." "Will you tell us why you were there then?" persisted the professor. "Why, you fool, I am a jailer," snapped the subject, as he left the chair. X. Y. Herald. SlOO Keward, 100.
