Kesults of studies with Concord grapes showed that if most of last season's shoots were too short and too weak to produce laterals, the vine was pruned too lightly the previous season. were left. If That is, too many nod-the shoots were vigorous that they produced an excesive amount of lateral growth, too many nodes had beenj removed the previous winter. The grower therefore should strike the balance between these two extremes by leaving enough nodes at pruning time so that vigorous shoots will grow for the following year's crop, while at the same time enough fruit is allowed to grow and mature for the current season. However, these shoots should not be vigorous enough to send out many side branches or laterals. From "Kt to 70 nodes to the vine usually will lie enough under normal conditions. It also is Important that nodes be left on either four or six canes, rather than on n large number of short spurs. It has been found that the best fruiting buds are found on those canes from the fourth to the twelfth node. Hence most of the best fruit will be removed and the vines will run to wood If they are "spur pruned." Several well matured canes at least as large as a lead pencil should be left with from 12 to 1," nodes on each cane. The number will depend upon the previous growth of the plant and the size and quality of t lie crop. s Crst voters ussuivng the party vf tbe,r fathers which has preso long. vailed In the United states for v,,,e But youth of i:)V. is g'""g t mind of it "wil There are obW"US reasons for this. now In Times have changed.

When, these plants are associated with sudden death among animals that eat of them, it is commonly assumed that A such fatalities are the result of cyanide poisoning, says a writer in Successful Farming. Some of the suggested antidotes for cyanide poisoning seem to be marvel-ousleffective. Their use by experienced veterinary practitioners is to be recommended in cases of sudden and violent intoxication in which cyanophoric plants are involved. It is not, however, to he concluded that because animals revive after such treatment for cyanide poisoning that the case of illness was In every instance the result of cyanide poisoning. In other words, the recognition of a disease on the basis of recovery after a specific treatment is not usually a safe way to decide as to the cause. Abundance of hydrocyanic acid in the feed or stomach contents must he found before one can be certain that cyanide Is a cause of illness. In cases of death lt must also be found in the vital organs. y Purebred Live Stock There is only one justification for purebred live stock. That is to improve commercial (locks to better meet consumptive needs. So far as sheep are concerned there is a dual objective, mutton and wool. There Is opportunity here then to breed animals specializing in either carcass or lleece and also for animals combining, so far as possible, these two objectives.
