Take cuttings now of bedding plants and root them in moist sand. Cut the bean poles and pea brush while cleaning up the woodlct. Do not delay the pruning opera- ti ns. for field work is not far off. 121915. May the New Year bring in- creased prosperlty to the soil workers. Keep bulbs in s. cool place while in -bloom, and the flowers will last much longer. While pruning keep on the watch for eggs of insects and destroy all that are observed. Grain to be ground must be kept in n dry place for some time previous to milling lt. Keep the stable windows clean, for the animals want all the sunshine they can get at this season. Cut enough fencing material to en- close tlie entire farm with suitable structures to repel stock. Plants growing in small pots will require more moisture than those in larger receptacles. Remember this in supplying the water. Fir tree olllls an excellent solution for insects that infest house plants. It can be procured from florists and beedsmen. . lf blinds are attached to windows containing house plants close them during these cold nights and draw the inside shades. Sow all seeds to grow flower and vegetable plants in shallow boxes. whether the seeding ls done in the hotbed or not. ~ Scions of apples for grafting next Spring may be cut now. Currants and gooseberries can be prune now. No need of waiting. Leave the potted hyaclnths in a cool'dark place until well rooted. » Tramp the snow around the young apple trees. It will help to keep the mice sway. Do over the house .plants and tems and remove ailvsoalc insects. Apply suds. 'I nice close on the west by both make s. lint to be obtained tied the , trees and _ trees TRIMMING GRAPE8. The old rule which has become well established is to trim grape vines in early Spring. That is a good time to trim it the weather or something else does not ili- terfere until the vines are full of 'sap and bleed profusely when the trim- ming is done. ' After the fruit and foliage is-ol the vines, the sap returns to the roots, md then is the best time ln the whole year to prune the vines. Late in Novem- ber. or during the month ot Decem- ber, is an ideal time to prune thor- ou8l1ly and properly. - Scarcely anyone is willing to trims grape vine as much as it actually needs. It looks too much like raining the vines to remove the surplus growth that should come away. Thin the vines out well. Remove every dead or diseased portion. and much of the growth made during the past season. Thin out so the llghtcan find its way through next season when .the new growth appears and the fol- iage is heavy. V ' Place the vines over and about the trellis or arbor as you wish them, and tie up carefully so the Winter winds cannot beat the vines about and injure the wood. Pieces of old shoe leather wrapped about the vine and tacked to the lirbor. make good retainers, but care should beJta'¥el;_ not to have these too tight. BREEDING GBESE. There appear to be opportunities for more people in the breeding of geese. There are many farmers- who have every facility--in'.tl1e way cf land and houses who leave geese breeding alone while others not so well placed'ust~ urally do a big business. _ - ` In the ilrst place. one should aim at are manynletliods used for-unchoklng' having mreé' lm.” fe‘m,_lBB_ ltlll, mm.; important to have siae on the female side than the male. The (underbel- ected should be one fairly »actlv_'e',fs`isd. a bird that is fully maturedr Thee; geese to a gander are sumcient. and, in fact, some people mate them up ih pairs. but I hardly think this is' nec- essary. I know many cases where small flocks ot tour mated blrdshsve given wonderfully good results. The eggs have been most fertile and the goslings hatch out easily and strong. If geese are allowed to oat as much food as they can pick up, there is certain to be no profit on them. They should be kept rather on the bare side, unless there happens to be snow on the ground or the fields are bu-We or grass. They are birds that can live almost the entire year on grass alone, but during very severe weather per- haps a little maize will prove useful. Birds should be fed fairly well dlu~ln¢ the breeding season. Some geese will layfrom twelve to fifteen eggs; than go brcody. There are old birds which produce as many as twenty eggssbe- lore they take s rest. but if we can set several flocks ot breeding geeae to produce fifteen eggs per bird. it ls certainly not had for the ilrst batch. -_i_...... .__--_..._.
