ritrXB GKAPEVLNiiS TO GET GOOD rni'IT.
Much of the pruning required bv
grapevines cho 1)3 done in the fall and
during mild days in winter. It is not
liett, however, to finish tho work then.
Dead wood aud BtiperHiious old wood
can be cut away, aud the weaker canes
uot tuited foi bearing next f eason may
be shortened to two or three buds.
One of these b ids, if properly man
aged, will rues'. likely mako "a good
cane of bearing sizo tho next season,
to produce fruit the year after.
The strong canes selected to pro
duce fruit may as well be left until
March. It will be light work to short
en them to half their length or less,
when the other pruning is out of the
way.
In pruning these strong canes be-,
fore winter is over, some of the buds
moet desired for fruit might receive
injury from extreme cold; they are
much less likely to be hurt if left un
pruned until tho severs weather is
mostly over.
The necessity of pruning the vines
exihts by reason of the great produc
tiveness of most of the best varieties.
If left unpruned, twice as much fruit
will set as the vine can bring to per
fection, aud the fruit will not only be
inferior, but the vine will be injured
permanently in tho case of some
kinds.
It will be understood that the term
"cane" relersto wood of the previous
season's growth; the wood which, if
strong enough, will bear fruit the suc
ceeding year.
Pruning is not to be done when the
ground is frozen, an I not to be done
when the vines bleed. National

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BULB.
Always procure bulbs as soon as
possible in the fall, advises Eben E.
Kexford. This because it is important
that they should be planted so early
that a complete root growth may be
made before the coming of the winter.
The feticcess of next epring depends
largely ou the thoroughness with
which the work is done. (JooJ roots
mean fine flowers.
Have your beds ready for the bulbs,
eo that you can pluut them immediate
ly alter receiving them. A bulb dries
ont rapidly when exposed to tho air,
and it is important that it should go
into the ground fresh and plump.
Have the bu'.b bed well ilruiued. If
it is not naturally to, provide artiticiul
drainage.
Have the foil very fine and mellc w.
You cannot work it over too much. If
rather heavy with clay, add sand or
loam to lighten it.

iiv up to their kuowlgdge of these
facts because of carelessness and neg
lect, save Allen Morse. To do this ia
tho easiest and cheapest way, if th
stock are tot. provided with warm,
comfortable stables, provide them at
once. It can be done as cheaply now
as at any season of the year. Nail
boards over cracks and ceil the inside1

between the walls and ceiling with
swamp bay with good results. An in
side and outside door should be pro
vided, and the former should be shut
tight. The cost of suoh nu outlay on
a stable firty feet long will be about
$15 ; it will savo that value in fodder
tho first winter. If water freeKes in
the stable provide a heater At a cost of
85 to $10 1 you will willingly give thfl
wood and labor to see tho cows drink.
If both a warm barn and warm water
cannot bo provided) warm the stables,
even though the stock has to drink ice
water. It is far more comfortable,
too, milking without an overcoat and
grasping icicles.
The dairyman With a silo need not
be told Whit to feed his stock. Those
without one should not compel tha
stock to cat straw, as it is poor econ
omy. Good Clover hay( or at least
that Which is part clover, and small
ration of grain will keep stock iu good
condition. Heavy grain feeding will
not pay in bntter makiag notwith
standing good authorities say it will,
but the stock will be in hotter condi
tion, the manure richer, and it will be
a plcasiire to see stock sleek and fat.
Keep the animals well bedded. This
will pay in the added comfort both to
yourself and stock, and also in tho
value of the manure, and that ia by
far the best nse a farmer can make of
bis straw. If owuiug more than can
be used in such a way, sell it and put
the value of it in meal. It ia an un

TALKS ABOUT PLANTS.
The tirao to prepare a wild e&rJon

Une of the peculiarities of tha floral

w li-'n fall comes the roots aro ex

Wild hollies please so muchbv their
bright berries in winter that many are
tempted to plant them on this account.
Cut it must not be forgotten that these
shrubs are not all berry bearing.
Some have male flowers only, and
these nave no berries. The only safe
plan is to see berries on a bush before
planting it Hollies need close prun
ing to make them live when trans
planted. M. Zicharewiez, professor of agri
culture at Vaucluse, has found by ex
periment witn ainerent colored glasses
that fruit is the finest and earliest
when crown under clear glass. Orange
glass produces an increase of vegeta
tion, but at the cost of the amount of
fruit, of the size and of its forward
ness, v iolet glass causes the number
of fruit to increase, at the expense of
the quality. Red, blue and greeu aro
hurtful to all kinds of vegetation.

Ono item iu lr. KIciinrdsons report of his
practice in the Loudon Temperance Hos
pital refers to the treatment of rheumatism
without nleoho'. He savs:
Out of seventv-jnn cases ot a'utc or sub
acute rheumatism, the Inro majority acute
anil attcn-ie t with temperatures moving up
to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, sixty-nine recov
ered, nud two, although they were dis

list, were si far relieve. I that a few days'

was required to induce full r.Hrorntion.
Comparing tho experience of the treatment
oi acuto rheumatic dise.aso without ale hoi
with that which I have previously olsrvod
with alcohol, I can have no hesitation in de
claring that it is of the greatest a tv.tnta ;e lo
follow total abttneuao absolutely in this
disease. The pain an 1 sw -Ming of joints is
more quickly relieved under a'j-tlne'iee, tho
fever falls more rapidly, there is less fre
quent relapse, and there is quicker recov
ery. In brief, experience of treatment of
rheumatic fever miuus alcohol presents to
me as much novelty as it doss pleasure, and
I am convinced that if any caudid member
of tho profession could have wi nessed
what I havo witnessed in this mat
ter, he would agree with me that
nlcohol In rheumatic fever, however acute.
Is altogether out of place. I am als i under
tho conviction, though I express it with
great reserve, that in acute rheumatism,

cation, endocardial and pericardial, are
much less frequently developel than when
alcohol is used." Champion of Progress.

j ' Scotland's Singular Industry.
Tho drop in the production of pe
trolottm in this conntry has bad tho ef
fect of stimulating an almost extinct
industry n Scotland, the distillation
of Oil from shale, Fifty years ago it
Was of groat importance And was even
worked under royalties in thfl United
States, where there were between fifty
and sixty coal and shale distilleries.
While the producers were at the height
of their prosperity, the natural oil
fields were opened and the old busi
ness went to pieces, so that only two
Scotoh companies were left in tho
field. Like most manufacturing en
terprises in Sootlnnd, it was tho waste
products which turniBhcd the profits
of the industry. The mineral distilled
is a bituminous shale or hard clay,
and the product of the distillition, of
Which 67,000,000 gallons wer mado
last year, bears little resomblanoe to
coal oil. The waste "products which
have contributed to tho continued ex
istence ot the industry are parafllno
wax and sulphate of ammonia. The
value of tho former has been affected
seriously by the output of the distiller
ies in this country, but the ammonia
is produced only from shale, and the
fluctuations in its price have decided
very largely the profits of tho business.
The crude shale oil lias to bo distilled
like petroleum and the lamp oil refined
from it has a higher flash point and
density than that mado from pe-
trolenm. As the prico of oil has fallen,
the shale distilleries have improved
the retorts and stills to an extent
which has resulted in the reduction of
the cost of the finished oil to a little
over four cents a gallon, about one

From ihe Hrpu'ilican, Cooptrttova, X. .
The people of the present are traveling a
pace that would surprise the good old wives
and knlckerbockered grandfathers of a hun
dred years ago. Things aro not done by de
grees or stages In these days, but with a rush
aud hurry and says "no" to every setback.
In fact, this Is tho great loading trait of tho
American people, and It nover falls to at
tract the attention ot other nations.
This constant hurry and ever present busi
ness pressure has not been without its effort
upon the nerves of tho race, and every year
witnesses the incmaso of nervous disease,
Me.ljcul science, however, has been kecidng
abreast with the time, and from the very de
mands mauo upon it mere nave sprung new
departures nnd discoveries.
A reporter recently met Mr. PhllipO. Weit
Ing, who Is President of the Bank ol Worces
ter, and of the Toledo City Hank, of 'i'ololo,
Ia., In the handsome little lowu ol Worcester
among the hills of Otsego County, N. Y., anil
conversation drifted to the present topic. Mr.
Welting had been a sufferer from locomotor
ataxia for twenty-live years, something
which none but those who havo themselves
been afflicted by tho disease can appreciate.
Knowing that he had travele 1 far aud wide
in search of somo bcnelleial treatment for his
affliction, tho reporter asked tho President
to give some facts tu hiiowu case. Ho re
sponded willingly. Yes. '-I suffered twenty
rive years from locomotor ataxia, " Mr. Welt
lug said, "and during all that tune I was
seeking some relief. Well, I found It iu Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. Of course I havo it yet,
to some extent, but I'm feeling better and uiy
legs are stronger thau ever before. I never
did havo much faith In either doctors or
medicines, and my long siege of suneriug
helped alung this distrust in Ihom. Why, I
could scarcely walk any distance at all, and
could not stand long without my knees yield
ing beneath my own weight. A person can
not coueeive of the buffering such astute
brings upou thb sufferer.
"I would go to Florida every year, and
visited almost every health resort In tho
country. I went to the Sanitarium ut Iowa
Falls, Iowa, and also tho very best In Micht
f ,n, but they didn't do me any good. 1 took
no lull course ot their baths and massage
pud rubbiug, without receiving the least
jonollt. I thought I would havo to give up
all hope of ever curing myself. Fiunlly I
heard a good deal abuut Pink Pills through
common report; and although, as I said, I
had no faith iu medicines ot any liind, I was
induced to try tlieai. Well, I "took several
boxes without deriving any apparent benefit,
but was advised to keep it up. Mo, when I
weut to Florida that year three years ago
tins summer I took a large quautity with
me. After some months I stopping taking
them; but my legs had lieeome so much
stronger aud my ataxia bad been so moder
ated that 1 could staud and walk better than
I had done for years. Pink i'ills did It, aud
you can well linagiue how I fuel toward
them. They did what nothing else could
do."
During tha entire interview Mr. Welting
remained standing and evidently did uot ex
perience tiie slightest discomfort, in spite of
tiio protracted eriod of bis nttlictiou. Al
though well along iu years, ho is still ac
tively eugagoj iu llnauciul enterprises that
nuceasitato a vit-t amount of mental aud ner
vous energy. KuSluo it to suy he lacks
neither, but makes bis influence felt where
ever ho is known. Hcbles being l'r. sldeul
of the Worcester Dank, Mr. Wcitiug is also
President of thoToledo City Ii ink. of Toledo.
Iowa, whore his advice und souud business
policies are a eontroling element.
His commendation of Pink I'ills ciuno un
solicited, and witli tho siuccr.ty of ono who
.fells what ho say.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, ull the elements necessary to
give new life aud richness to tho blood aud
restore shattered nerves. They aro also a
sMjcillo for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities ami all forms
of weakness. They bull I up tha blood, ,m,
restore tho glow of health to pale and sallow

A SoTt'l Hrailaclio Cure.
A Boston apostlo of physical culture
says that an excellent and never-fau
ing cure for nervous headache is the
simple act of walking backward. Ton
minutes are as long as is usually neces
sary to promcnado. It sometimes,
however, requires more than ten min
utes to walk at all if one is very "ner
vous." But it is not understood that
it is necessary to walk a chalk line.
And kind of walking will do, provided
it is backward. It ia well to get in a
long, narrow room, where the windows
are high, and walk very slowly, plao
ing tho ball of the foot on the floor
aud then the heel, lies ides curing
headache, this exercise promotes a
graceful carriage. A half-hour's walk
backward every day will do wonders
towards producing a graceful gait.
This is something like faith cure, which
will not bo attempted by the advanced
woman, who will tako no steps back
ward. New Orleans ricavune.
