WIIAKD PRUNE FOUR-YEAR-OLD GRAPEVINES It should not be very difficult to prune four-year grapevine*, that they may conform to the single-stem Kniffeu type of training. The fruit of the past season was borne directly on shoots that made all of their growth during the past summer. These shoots are now classed as cunes. The former canes from which the shoots grew are now worthless for fruiting purpoag*. but In some types of training serve for some years to support the fruit canes that arise from time to time. With the Kniffen types of training, the growth older than one ye&r Is almost completely cut away In pruning according to the Kniffen training, spurs which are but the current year’s growth, shortened to a length of two or three buds, are much used. The ideal vine/pruned and trained to the single-stem four-cane Kidffen method should include two canes of the current season's growth, arising from Just below the level of the top wire, or near the head of the vine. One cane will be tied In the spring to the right along the top wire, wliile the other will be tied to the left. The amount and character of the cane growth made will ‘ largely determine the number of buds to be left on each cane. With especially vigorous vines i 12 io 14 may be allowed on each. In addition to the two canes from the , head two or more others are cut back i U> spurs of two to three buds. These will throw shoots the coming season, i which in turn become the fruiting ! rancs t« Is* utilized one year from ; the present time. After the two ; canes are chosen and the spurs pro- i vided all other cane growth is eui ; cleanly away in this location. Just 1 below the level of the lower wire, two more canes are selected as above directed ami spurs provided for. but I tlie two canes to be tied along the . lower wire are pruned ts"o to four ’ buds shorter than the canes at the J upper wire. Thus the vines after pruning will have four fruit canes, two near each wire level, and spurs at eiH-h level to provide fruit canes for iwai. Prevent Pear Blight by Careful Winter Pruning The dormant season, with an absence of succulent growing plant tissue. affords suitable conditions for checking the destructive pear blight disease. The disease, which is commonly known as *'fire blight,” Is characterized by a death of blossoms, young twiga. and later larger limbs, thereby giving twigs of affected trees 1 the- upt>earanee of having been scorched by fire. The blight Is pro- ' du red by a bacterial germ and is the cause of much concern among fruit i growers, especially during the growing ! aeason, U is during the winter i months, only, that effective control ? measures can be put into practice. Since fire blight overwinters in dead twigs and limbs, killed mainly during the previous season** growth, the pruning out and destruction of affected parts durlhg the winter months eliminates the source of in fiction for the following year's growth. I Respite Considerable experimentation which has been done in connection ; with the control of fire blight, no 4 metl ud of prevention with spray ma- ! teria 1 has been found, due to the manner tn which the disease ivories beneath the surface of the bark, where It is not reached with spray materials. Late Winter Right Time for Cutting the Scions Scions for cleft-grafting should be cut during the late winter, according to the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. “Cut them . while they are -dormant.” says Prof. : Joseph oskamp. the fruit man at the college, "pack them In moist sawdust. and store them in a cool cellar until they are to be used In the spring. Tl»e grafting should be done at about the time fnr applying The delayed dormant spray, when the buds are showing green. "Many orchards.” declares Professor Oskamp. “contain old trees of undesirable or seedling fruit. If the trees are healthy and not too old, a desired variety ran be grafted on them to good advantage, if the stock of the original tree is suitable. For example, ft Is not generally profitable to topwork Duchess of Oldenburg or Alexander, as the first does not give a healthy growth to- the trees worked upon It. and the second blights badly. ‘♦'’areful selection pays in picking | scions to use. They should be from j vigorous twigs of the preceding sum- j mer’s growth. Water sprouts may be used If the wood is hard and the buds i are well matured.” Get After Pruning If the pruning has not been done, get after It It should be out of the way before spring. Bo not cut the tree* too heavily. We have noticed that there has not been so much growth on the peach trees this past season. Go over each one and prune as necessary, but do not do a lot of unnecessary cutting. Thin out the apple tree* and cut back, the tallest leaders, nut do not head back generally. As soon as the work is done get the pruning* out of the orchard. Figure Garden in Winter t! >ph«*zard planting is one of the most frequent causes of poor success and dagging enthusiasm in vegetable growing. A neat garden cap be most certainly obtained by following a carefully throueht out plan. There Is time to figure it all out in the winter weeks There isn’t the time to do a raid Job of planning when you confront the spaded ground with a col lection of seed packets In your hand and start putting the seed in aa you pick up the packets. -

COOKERY AN ART We are told that cookery is one of the fine arts. Where can one mix col-

ora giving greater pleasure than in an appetising dish? The d e v e l oproent of cookery has gone hand In hand with civilization. The more

■ Intelligent a people, the more attenI tlon they pay to the food which they I give their families. Being hd art as ’ old as history, cookery in its evolu- ! tlon Is as Interesting a study as evolution Is to the scientist. j Probably more people are spending part or all of their time caking than j In any other household occupation Care exercised In food selection and preparation Is rhe most important factor on which rests the health, happiness and pr<»sperity of mankind. Cookery has its laws of proportion or right values, its laws of harmony I and contrast, its appeal to senses, as ' do all other arts. Cookery appeal* to the sight and taste as music appeals to the ear. An educated sense of taste Is as gratifying and as necessary for good ‘ digestion and physical well-being as the Indulgence of any of the senses. The study of cookery should be a part of every young woman's educa tlon. She should know when she has prepared a well-balanced meal as well ias to know how to cook one. She should be able to feed the Sick, care for the food for tha aged, as well as for an offi.-e man. farmer or baby, Ini teiligvntly.

Few cooks are born cooks; most of them have attained their proficiency as other artists attain theirs —by hard work and practice. A trained cook should command the same respect as any other trained worker, for she keeps people well by providing them with the right kind of j food, while the professional doctor takes us only for repairs.
