When a man trims his" vines ‘of bearing age, he cuts to build the vine for next year's crop and for years of tuture usefulness. Hence he must keep only buds that will tell for future use- fulness, and’ only such arms or rum- ners as will replace or develop the structure of his vines. For the latter purpose only vigorous canes should be_retained. For mext vear's fruit crop he wants only the most vigorous buds—those which next year will grow branches 50 or 60 inches long, with large ehad- ing leaves and fine clusters of fruit. Such buds are upon the rank canes which are to be cut back to spurs dur- ing the dormant season. These canes should be cut back to two buds each. On vigorous canes there is always a £00d apace between the buds which gives ample room for the growth of laterals next year. ‘There are frequently branches that are more meager in growth; they are short, the leaves were small during the growing season and the buds are close, perhaps two or three inches apart. It is a mistake to leave two buds on spurs of such canes. They should be cut back to one bud each.

Wholey & Co 12 Ferry Street AN IMPORTANT BY-PRODUCT. Poultrymen Overtook the Value of Manure They May Obtain. An important by-product of the poultry business which is seldom con- sidered serlously is poultry manure. The value of this product is of special importance this year because of the high price of chemical fertilizers, and all poultry keepers should make ev- ery effort to conserve ‘this vast amount of fertilizing material- which is frequently more than half-wasted. It has been estimated that the void- ings of an average hen for one year weigh approximately 50 pounds. One hundred pounds -of poultry ma- nure properly - handled contains .8 of a pound Of organic nitrogen, .63- pound. of phoSphoric ‘acid, and .254- pound of potash. s At the present price of these fertilizing materials-in chem- ical form the droppings from one hen in one year are 'worth more than 50 cents. _ Therefore the _poultryman with 100 hens has a sure income from his hens of $50 whether they-lay any eggs or. not if he goes to- the. trouble of caring for-his poultry manure prop- erly. ~ Phone581 is as essential in modern house as electricity is to lighting, We guaran- tes the very best PLUMBING WORK by expert workmen ‘at ‘the- fa prices.

BURNS Poultry manure contains more nit- rogen than -any other farm manure, Dbecause in birds the execretion of the kidneys remains with the undigested portions of thé food. This form -of nitrogen is very readily available' to plants, but unfortunately it is mot stable. The decaying processes. which set in as soon as much is stored, be- cauge of the heat generated, causes it to change to ammonia compounds. One-third to one-half of the nitrogen passes off as amonia gas. X It is frequently recommended that stable manure be spread directly upon the ground n order to prevent the Horehound Is tonio and laxative Halels Honey - Of Tar 'Colds AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS nitrogen .from burning off. This meth- 0d, however, is not practical in the handling of poultry manure because a large percentage of the ammonia will- pass off into the air even if it is spread out on the frozen ground in the winter. On this account it is necessary for it to be stored and so treated that a large percentage of moisture shall be absorbed which will prevent heating and the escaping of ammonia gas. Because of the ex- cess of nitrogen inthis form of ferti- lizer there should be added a con- siderable amount - of acid phosphate, and in ordinary years some potash. Because of the high price of potash this year it is nqt practical to pur- chase it for these purposes, and acid phosphate may be used in little larger quantities. ‘Even the latter is too ex- | pensive- to use in sufficient amounts to take care of the excess moisture, and in addition to_it, there should be a considerable amount .of some dry material such as sawdust, dry loam or peat, which will act as an absorb- ent and which wili help to make a fertilizer which can be easily handled. For example, a mixture of 30 pounds poultry manure, -10 pounds of saw- dust, 20 pounds of acid phosphate would carry about .25 of 1 per cent nitrogen, .5 per cent phosphoric acid land .1 of 1 per cent potash. Manure should be stored in barrels in the case of poultrymen who have /but few hens, or in open sheds or spe- cially constructed manure pits where it is held in large quantities. It should not be applied to the ground until a few days before it is to be used for cropping purposes and be- cause of its availability it is especial- 1y desirable for top dressing meadow lands or lawns or for bringing about rapid growth in corn, potatoes, or garden crops. Any form ‘of lime or weod ashes should never be used in conmection with poultry mantre be- cause the calcium which both of these materials contwins sets free the am- monia almost immediately. CARING FOR POULTRY. Houses Should Be Cleaned When Foul and Rations Carefully Regulated. Poultry houses _should be cleaned just as often as they become foul. Where birds are kept cofined all the time or where they are crowded close- 1y it will' be necessary to clean much oftener than under ideal conditiona. Birds will not ¢Iercise as they should if they have to work in dirty litter and & great deal of feed 1is sure to be wasted.

The morning ration for the hens should be fed very sparingly, par- ticularly in extreme cold weather when it will be wise to feed once or twice Some of the grain during the day— just a few handfuls scattered well in the' litter of palatable wholesome grain that the hens will be anxious to work for. In addition to the extra feeding or two of scratch grain, green food in any form broken into small particles so that the hens will have to work for it will add one more activity for them when they are prone to stand about in the corners. Although green ‘ciit bone is too ex- pensive to feed regularly, that will be another incentive for a great deal of exercise on the part of the fowls for extra cold days. The feeding of sour milk at intervals during the day in small quantities will help to stir the birds into activity. A warm mash if fed in proper quantities will be help- ful on cold days.—more for the pur- pose of stimulating greater activity on the part of the fowls in their efforts to get it, than because it will fill their crops with a material that will help to warm their bodles. It should there- fore be fed in very limited quantities and scattered well about the house. ‘Birds that are handled in this way on cold days will continue to increase their egg production through January and February even if the tempera- ture does go below' zero. Fowls that are neglected and left to their own resources will stand about in the cor- ners and on the roosts, become cold and cheerless and their egg production will suffer accordingly. New York, Jan. 12.—Clearance papers have not been sought for the Italian steamship Giuseppe Verdi, which ar- rived here last Thursday with two naval guns mounted aft, and which was due to leave today on her return trip to Italy. Dudley Field Malone, collector of - the port, announced to- night that no application has been made for permission to sail. The vessel lay at her dock tonight with about 800 passengers aboard be- sides cargo and mails. Officers of the ship said the delay in salling was due to the question which has arisen over her armament. - The voyage probably will be delayed until an asreement has been reached between the- state de- partment and the Italian ambassador at Washington. The two guns were still in position on the after deck of the steamship when the customs house closed for the day. It was said at Mr. Malones of- fice that while clearance papers-have not been asked, none would be granted until advices had been received from Washington covering the question. Unusual precautions have been taken by the officials- of the line to guard the vessel while in port: The baggage. of each passenger was caretully inspected.before it was taken on board.

He made -a _vigorous speech, assailing the - Standard - Oil company and the Pearson Qil‘ Syndi- cate, charging that these ‘interests, through rival efforts to monopolize the oil properties in-Mexico, had been re- sponsible for the revolutions of that gountry and for strife along the bor- er.
