Became a mutton stew.

A hybrid between finest selected Post-Oak Grape and llupestris Grape ; most ex¬ 
cellent native species of southwest Missouri. The vine is very vigorous, hardy, 
and prolific. A two-year-old graft in the originator’s vineyard bore 4.') pounds of 
clusters similar to the one represented above. The vine and fruit are free from 
all diseases ; color black. The quality is quite good, preferred by many to Concord, 
with which it ripens. Strong vines, by mail, $1 each ; ^8 per dozen. Catalogue of 
general Nursery Stock, with full description of above and others of my produc¬ 
tions, free on application. Address T. V. MUNSON, Denison, Texas. 
Take equal parts of STRENGTH and 
ELASTICITY, don’t think of omitting 
the latter as you might as well try to 
make good bread without leavening; a 
heavy, “soggy” product would be the re.sult 
in both cases. Now, ha\’ing your ingredients 
of the best quality, mix tlioroiiglily so that 
they come in contact at every point. The 
good bread maker never tucks the yeast 
in one end of the loaf. Stretch on durable 
posts, as it will last a life time. You can buy 
it “ready made” of
