Is also thp source of nitrogen to the
plant, and it increases the water
holding capacity of the soil as well
as improves its physical condition.
Consequently every effort ought to be
made to maintain Or increase the
amount of decaying organic matter.
Otherwise the crop will be grown
largely from the added fertilizers
and not from the plant food of the
soil. It is for this reason that it is
sometimes stated that if you com-
mence to use fertilizers you must
continue their, use.
However, no matter how much. we
try to render javailable the immense
stores of food in the soil, we canna
bring it about fast enough to supply
the needs, especially of heavy feeid-
Mg crops, such as the mangels, tur—
nips and garden crops. Hence the
need of manures. Stable manure
cannot always be got in sullicient
quantities to fulfill requirements, nor
does it always furnish the needed
plant food in the right proportions
ti develop the plant properly. To
sopplement the manure- is the place
of . fertilisers,
Stable manure is essentially a
nitrogenous fertiliser. Hence if used
ID. large quantities it will force big
leaf and stem grewth and retard ma-
turity. Consequently, a plentiful sup-
ply of stable manure would help the
growth of lettuce, spinach, mangel,
etc.; but it would not be so satisfac-
tory for tomatoes, sugar beets, or ,
other crops that must be brought to
maturfty. What these plants need is
some stable manure and some min-
eral fertiliser to force early maturity.
On the other hand, plants like tlet-
tuce, spinach, etc., are grown for their
leaf and stein and maturity is not a
necessary point, hence a soluble form
of nitrogenous fertilizers may even
be added after heavy applications .of
manure with good results.
The manufacturer of mixed ferti-
lizers seeks to prepare special mix-
tures that will be suitable.for differ-
ent crops, but the farmer or gardener
shonld strive to inform himself re-
garding his soil and crop needs that
he may be able to select the form
of fertilizer that will bring about the
growth desired, and he should study
the fertilizer materials available that
he may buy intelligently and econo-
mically.—R. Harcourt, 0. A. College,

General Farm. Hints.
Put a plant or two of rhubarb in
the cellar which should be kept at a
temperature of 60 to 70 degrees in
sand, which is kept moist and in the
dark so that it will produce stems!
and no leaves. Do some reading oh
gardening work for this year, but
more especially think over the fail-
ures of the last.
,the roads, are in good shape,
get your manure alit and spread. A
dressing of 8 to 10 loads per acre
will keep the orchard in condition.
If buying in the larger cities, order
early as the Car situation is serious
enough to delay shipments.
Light -pruning of apple orchards,
taking out the small wood with the
Jong -handled pruners, mayibe carried
out during bright weather. Grape
trimming may also be looked- after
when the weather is suitable.
Before feeding or selling any grain
crops ma ka good provision for your
own. seed supply.
Finish cutting out of black knot of
cherry and plum.
Inspect and oil win.dmill before
winter.
If weather is fine and warm may
continue to spray peach trees and
give first application to trees badly
infested with San Jose scale.
On rough days during this and suc-
ceeding months it is well to go over
all packages, barrels, boxes, etc.,
mending broken carriers, handlin.g
baskets.
Be sure pumps are in good con-
dition.
It is not too early to consider the
question of getting help for the big
crop- which will have to be raised in
1920.

Depreciation of Machinery.
Did you ever think of the relation
of the farmer's bank ccount to the
tool shed? Machinery depreciates
faster in the weather than it dose in
use. The time saved by haying a
rust:free implement will soon pay for
the shed. .

At last the sharp pine -tops were

And then chance spoiled the climax;

There is a, stranger cornet ef Ire-
land to -day where e strange group of
people live. It is called the Claddagh.
A writer in Munsey's Magazine tells
about the place' and its people as
follows:
The Claddagh is a straggling set-
tlement across .the river Corrib from
the old seaport town of Galway. Its
inhabitants are a dark-haired, dark-
skinned people who are popularly be-
lieved to be of Spanish blood. This
theory of their origin is supported by
the historical fact that Galway long
carried on an active trade with Spain;.
but ethnologists regard it as more
probable that they are a remnant of
the prehistoric Irish .race of Fir-
bolgs, who were driven to rocky sea-
shores and mountain fastnesses by
the invasion of the taller and lighter
Milesians. Their settlement on the
Corrib seems to have existed since the
dawn of history, and traces of their I
primitive stone dwellings down at .
the water's edge are to -be seen to
this day.
• The present Claddagh viNage is a
huddle of thatched houses with a pop-
ulation of about fifteen hundred. The
men live by fishing—mackerel. most-
ly—in their open. boats, and the wo-
men carry the catch to the maeket M
fiat baskets, which they poise on
their heads. The dress of the women
is. extremely picturesque, and is worn
with graceful dignity—a bright petti-
coat woven at the loom and dyed with
madder or indigo, a cloak worn like -
the Spanish mantilla, and a hood or
kerchief draped around the head. They
seldom intermarry with strangers,, but

Grape pruning For the Garden.
The average neglected grapevine
is generally such.a tangled mess that
it is very difilcult to describe how
to prune it. The owner ahould de-
termine what . sort of a trellis he
m.eans, to fasten. his vine on. If there
are a number of vines in a row the
general- practice is to grow it on two
wires, these to be drawn tight on.
posts about 16 feet apart, first wire
three feet and second wire five feet
from the ground. If only one or two
wines are in a place it can. be grown
on a trellis made of two narrow
strips of board nailed to posts.
One thing never to be overlooked
is all fruit is produced on last year's
wood. Most neglected vines have too
much old wood. Try to get one or
two upright canes of two-year-old
wood or older with four arms* or
3rounger canes equally distributed on
the two wires. These arms should
not be over six feet long, giving four
arms of this length. 'This is suffi-
cient bearing wood for any vine. Sup-
pose the upright part is satisfactory
and are four arms on it, from.
these arms laterals Gr side shoots
will grow, on which the fruit is pro-
duced. A vine should be kuned af-
ter it freezes before winter and be-
fore it thaws in the spring. Pruning
in mild weather cauSes bleeding from
the cuts., The laterals that bore fruit
should be cut back, only leaving one
bud to sprout the following season.
and the fruit will grow on that
sprout. It is quite easy to occasion-
ally renew one or more -arms by train-
ing a young branch to take the older
one's place. When that is done cut
off the old branch. With a little
practice praning is easy, the common
fault being to leave too much wood.

"Hot( 'd ye make .#ut yestidy?"
he asked. "Git anythire out of cad

toward the front room.
"Oh, yes," said Johh, smiling, as
he recalled the unceasing flow of
'words Which had enveloped Timson's
explanationi.
"How much longer do you think
you'll have,to have him 'round?" ask-
ed Mr. Harum.
"Well," said Johns "of course your
customers are strangers to me, but so
far as the routine of the office is
conceroned I think I can manage after
to -day.- But I shall have to appeal to
you rather often fdr a while until I
get thoroughly acquainted with my
work."
"Good fer you said David. "You've

said with feeling, "t I've had bother
enough with him to kill a tree. But
anyway I wrote to some folks I know
up to Syrchester to git something fer
him to do, an' I got a letter to send
him along, an' mebbe they'd give him
a show. See?" •
"Yes, sir," said John "and if you
are willing to take the Chances of my
mistakes I will undertake to get on
without him."

"Really?" said John.
"Yes, •sir," said David. "Some
folks is gaited that way. Amusin',
ain't it? --Hullo; Dick! Wa'al?"
"Willis'll . give two hundred fer the
soxel colt;" said the incomer, whom
John recognized as one of the loungers
in the Eagle bar the night on his ar-
rival.
"E-um'm!" said David. "Was he
speakin' of, any pertic'ler colt, or sorel
colts in gen'ral? I hEtin't got the
only one the' is, I s'pose."
Dick merely laughed. "Because,"
continued the oWner of the "sorril
colt," "if Steve Willis wants to lay
in sorril colts at two hundred a piece,
I ain't goin' to gainsay him, but you
tell him that , two -forty-nine ninety-
nine won't buy the one in my barn."
Dick laughed again.
John made a move M the direction
of the front room.
"Hold on a minute," said David.
"Shake hands with Mr. Larrabee."
"Seen ess before," said Dick, as they
shook hands. "I was in the barroom
when you come in the other night,"
and then he laughed as atthe recollec-
tion of something very amusing.
John flushed. a little and said, a bit
stiffly, "I remember you were kind
enhugh to help about my luggage."
"Excuse me," said Dick, conscious
of the other's manner. "1 wa'n't laugh..

into another cachimiation.
David's face indicated some an-
noyance. "Oh, sleet up," he exclaim-
ed. "You'd keep that yaw P o' your'n

"WIa'al,". said Dick with a grin, "I
