The trel­ lis illustrated’is designed to obviate this waste of wood and labor.

By this arrangement, when the buried TRELLIS FOR A .FEW VINES. portion decays it can he renew'ed easily without loss of that'part-which is yet in a state of preservation, and which will last a lifetime, if painted. Posts and braces are joined in a similar man­ ner a t the top, being held in their respective places, both above and below, by loose fitting pins, wlfioh permit their easy withdrawal. By removing the side braces, the trellis can be laid down on its side, permitting the vine to be covered for the winter, if pr.ot.ec-; lion is necessary. • I use hemlock for posts and braces, hut more durable timber below the soil.

The cheeses were made and stored un­ der conditions securing uniformity of .compared lots, and were kept at 40, 50 or (iu degrees until cured. They were scored- at. the outset and at intervals during the test by commercial experts, and were also weighed and sampled for chemical analysis. I The average scores of • the cheeses were: At 40 degrees. 95.7; -at 50, 94.2; 'and at GO, 91.7; and the Increased Mar­ ket value at the end of 20 weeks, count- •ing quality alone, was GOcents a hundred for the cheese cured at 40 degrees.

Bc»r|ioin l Exercixe \V flit- 1 * Should lie Mure ('oiniuini Auiuug Amer­ ica u VVuiueu. Iloraccark riding is ranked ay one of the most pleasant exercises to bring back lost health. Aside from its bene­ ficial effects in the matter of health, it ;reu.t.ec in woman a sympathy with the noble animal which she rides. A true 8 -ory is”told by a woman who made no pretensions toward unusual horseman­ ship. Ip fact, she ranked herselT*as rath'-r below the average. She came into possession of a beautiful mare di­ rectly descended from a magnificent Arabian. Themnimal was tinder three years of age and as untamed and frolic­ some as a young dog. But the Arabian beauty seemed to understand the love of her mistress and soon the mere sound of her voice exercised a perfect control over the spirited animal. No one ex* cept the mistress could mount her with­ out being thrown, but thp owner would fearlessly take her seat and cahter over the wildest country, controlling ner spirited steed by only an occasional gentle word. 'Hiding among American men and women is not the common exercise Which it should he nor ’which It prom­ ises to become, says tho Prairie Farmer, We admire a fine horsewoman and, In*- deed, she cannot but command our ate tentlon, A graceful woman is at her best in the saddle, and when a true turf woman mounts a favorite steed her face lights up until it Is aglow with life and happiness. In history we read of many qqeens who were noted as superior •horsewomen. Queen Anne of Luxem­ bourg, the wife of Richard II., first, in­ troduced the side saddle into England in the year 1341. But many of the Eng­ lish women still .ride astride like men. In 1525 an Andalusian horse and mare were shipped to Paraguay and here orig­ inated those numerous .mobs which have spread over the whole of South America and have passed over the isth­ mus of Panam'a into North America. It Is rather strange that the. women of the great South American plains have discarded .the side saddle and ride “Pisana” fashion, that Is, the' lady In front of her escort. It would seem that- these women with the wild Spanish blood coursing through their "Veins “would love d a r lr , too well to submit to this, tame fashion- of ridingl This ■method is not ait all graceful. In Mex­ ico there are .now magnificent hor'se- \vomen .wlio will attempt to ride almost iuiything. They seem never to tire of the saddle, but they use the cross sad­ dle. Their riding garb is a most sen­ sible one, consisting of a Norfolk-jacket tucked in a t'th e belt, looso Turkish pajamas, thrust Into riding boots of soft yellow leather, a pair of Mexican spurs and a ladies’ ’isoinbrerci..” SPARROWS AND CARP.

Ge'rm'tu carp which wero put in some of the ^southern lakes -of Wisconsin years ago seem to have done more harm than good in eating the eggs of buss and other fishes, and a plan has been suggested for getting hold of the lazy, almost worthless, creatures In large quanUtt'es,- shipping.them-' east and ridding the lakes of their unde­ sirably presence; But the east does not want German carp, alive or dead.- They are a coarse, rank, unpalatable fish, dwellers In mud. It was a mis­ take ever to import them, as it, was to it iport English sparrows, says the Ne York Tribun I Wo had an-abundance and. a variety of excellent food fishes in the new world before well-meaning but mis­ guided ichthyologists brought about the shipping over from Europe of this gross, and sluggish mud habitat, the carp, if- tlie United States could get rid of evefy carp and every English sparrow in every part of its domain, their’extirpation would he of general benefit. Don’t send carp from Wiscon­ sin to Now York! They may bo fit for fertilizers, but the states on the Atlantic coast prefer menhaden to carp for the enrichment of the fields. English sparrows still hol'd a place on the bills of fare of cheap eating houses under the disguise of “reed -birds.” But the legislature of this stale became so thoroughly convinced tjiat sparrows wore not only useless, but injurious, that It passed a law which is now on our statute books mak­ ing it a misdemeanor to give them food or shelter. Tl e German Carp and the. English sparrows were “assisted" Immigrants which ought never to have been admitted within our borders. They should be banished. EYES OF THE CITY MAN. Our Kx-iilnnatlon o f the F o il tire o f Green Ilunte’rx 'When Out A lte r BI r Game, The usual number of disgusted sports­ men are complainingof their inability to lilt what they shoot a t in the woods. The cause of this Inaccuracy is not generally' understood. “I’ve been In the woods foryears,” said a returning hunter to the Sun correspon­ dent, “and it can’t he buck fever with me, alid it can’t be tho rifle, because I know that’s all right; but 1 might just as well admit (hat I emptied my maga­ zine at a fine buck and never touched a ljalr, I can’t understand it,” The real cause of thlB kind bf shoot­ ing, according to an old guide, lies in the city man's eyes. The average city resi­ dent, confined within houses ltie greater part of the year, becomes so accustomed to string at short distances only and to looking at familiar objects of the -city, that, he cannot see dearly at a distance, in the forest and amid unfamiliar sur­ roundings. Not only is his vision blurred heennso Of this, hut often when he does see he Is unable to gauge accurately the distance that lies between him and the game. This is particularly true of shooting from the water at an animal standing clear against the sky or dim in forest or Undergrowth. Shooting at a mark does little good, .but preliminary trips to the country for the purpose of distinguishing objects at long range would very soon overcome the fault. As It is, the hunter with a short time at, his disposal hardly griaac­ customed to new surroundings before bis lime is up; and this often account* for poor marksmanship, The bird hunt­ e r or one Who Is accustomed to long vision rarely has this trouble, even though he is sn lndlffcrent marksman, A FARMER'S STRONG TESTIMONIAL, «- I.vecpivr;l promptly the sample bcttlo of your kidney m nedy, Swaiap'JRoot.

W. May, of the Kentucky experiment- statlpn, remarks that it'is a well known fdet that, the greatest development In live stock, has been attained in limestone regions. He adds that In the bluegfass region of Kentucky, long noted for the beauty and quality of its live .stock, and es-' pecinlly of its thoroughbred horses, tho soil has been formed largely by the dis­ integration of a limestone very rich in phosphates. But even In that favored region experiments are under way to determine whether the quality of the animals niay not be improved by the addition, of certain mineral elements to the food.—-Youth’s Companion.

In constructing the power transmis­ sion line from the Cauvery falls to the Kolar gold mines in Mysore, India, which was recently completed, tho American engineers employed to do the work had to deal with some un­ common problems. The; line, 92 miles long, IS carried on lofty poles through the jungle, Here the depredations of white hnts and wild elephants had to be prevented. Tho ants attacked the poles and the elephants pulled at. the wires. Iron sockets seven feet high were found to be effective against the anls, and after careful measurements of the highest reach of tho elephants’ trunks, the wires were si rung a t a saf# elcviifIon.-—Youth’s Companion. Told or Glndxfone, Gladstone’s biography tells of a royal parly at Windsor in Queen Victoria’s reign which, after dining, instantly took to cards. The sums Involved were not, however, enormous.

The reason is that while the wood is lying in the water its sap and albuminous and salty materials are dissolved out If these substances remain in the wood they readily ,absorb moisture from the atmosphere, after coming out of tho drying rooms, and the wood swells. Artificial processes of washing out tho hygroscopic -substances from wood Which has not been floated are prac­ ticed in Germany. •f*- .« Alnm lnnm In lMnnta.
