GRAPH CUTURK.
. Examlno your grape grafts, nnd
rub off nil suckers from the stock be
low, as they will rob tho graft of the
nourishment properly belonging to
It. But take care that you do not
move the scion or rub off the buds on
them.
Do not bo impatient if tho scions
do not start at once. They nlwnys
start later tlinn the stock ; very often
oven the principal bud having start
ed.lt drons off ncmin. nnd the side'
hud or dormant one (of which there '
are two besides the principal one on I
each well developed ioint. each bud.1
in fact, being triple) will start n
week, or even month, later. As long
as tho scion is fresh nnd green there
Is hope that it will grow, nnd those
starting late will often make up by
rapid growth for lost time. Keep
them well covered with saw-dust or
tan, so as to shade them from the sun
and keep thorn moist while tho young
buds can easily penetrate it.
rill up around your layers with
well pulverized soil, and as soon as
they have grown fifteen or eighteen
inches, pinch off the leading shoot.
Thoy will liocomc more stocky and
make better roots.
Examine your cutting beds, nnd
keep them clean and mellow, plow
ing between the rows nnd loosening
around the cuttings with hoc nnd
weeding fork. Should tho weather
threaten to become too dry, nnd you
enn procure saw-dust or spent tan for
mulching, it will be of great benefit
to them. If you can not procure
these, mulch with well pulverized
earth, dnwlngit up over them, but It
will not do to let this bake and hard
en Into n crust.
In vineyards planted this spring,
leave no more than one shoot to grow,
rubbing off all others ; but on this al
low nil the laterals to grow, as that
On vines '
will make It more stocky
in their second yenr, if they start
strong nnd vigorously, you enn leave
on strong growing kinds from three
to four shoots, as they should have
two or three bearing canes the next
year, and one spur as a reserve near
tho ground. Look sharp after nil
noxious insects, especially tho steel
blue beetle, tho different small worms
which make their nests in tho tips of
tho young shoots, but protect the la
dy ot'fft "o mantis and its eggs.
They are among the best friends you
have. Grape CiitfurM.

Thomas Median, of tho Gardeners'

Investigations in the same direction. '
Tho investigation of Prof. Kenzlo of

on tho yellows, led him in the same

1 Every tree in every orchard ought
to h'jve n pail of hot water poured
around the collar of the tree every
spring. Tills would accomplish two
.results, namely: It would kill the
peach borer or grub, and arrest the
yellows in its incipient stages. Eith
er one of these results would amply

I,0Jf Dhiwsino in Omcii-
! akim. At n recent meeting of the
American Institute Farmers Club.
Mr. Wagner, who lives on Long Isl
and Sound, nbout fifty miles east of
New York, exhibited some primings
from his orchard to Illustrate tho ef
fect of putting Iron around trees. Ho
took an old place with twenty trees
in the orchard, full of dead limbs
with yellow leaves, and the crotches
oozing thick gum. He gave the
earth a good top-dressing of iron,
breaking up old plows and scattering
tho fragments. Tho effect has been
marvelous. The trees liavo renewed
their youth, and now look strong and
thrifty. The bark Is tight, nnd the
leave are green, and tho borer hns
disappeared. Ho thinks tho slag of
Iron furnaces, ground up nnd spread
on orchnrds will prove a valuable for.
tilizcr for fruit trees of all kinds.
Ekkkcts or Fkost ox Plants.
It hns been a disputed question
whether plants killed by frost dlo In
freezing or thawing. That tho form
er is tho case, nt least in somo cases,
has been satisfactorily demonstrated
by Professor Goppert, of Hroxlau.

example, tho milk-whlto blossoms of

parts. When thoy nro crushed, or
tho vitality of the cells Is otherwise
destroyed, they turn at once. Now
this change of color occurs immedi
ately upon freezing, which proves
that life thon ceases. Certain other
species arc said to show tho same
thing.

He tried this on n Burtlctt pear tree
that had yielded no fruit for two
years previous ; that very year It
yielded one hundred and fifty-five

yenr two hundred nnd fifty largo

HKK Cl'LTl'KK.
At the Iuto meeting of tho Ver-
mont State Board of Agriculture, a
i
posed that tholr government Is an
absolute monarchy, but on the con
trary, It is ii more perfect republic
than the world has over seen among
men, and the females have their
equal share. Mr. Wait here drew an
amusing comparison between their
government and our own, not only
in a political, but in a social sense.
Every fruit-grower and farmer
should keep n few colonies of bees for
the more perfect growth of his crops.
They cary the pollen from tlower to
flower, and thus, while gathering
honey, they spread the seeds of
growth and multiply the fruit. Sta
tistics were given by which It ap
peared that colonies would produce
from live to two hundred and sixty
pounds a season, which would aver
age about '20 cents. He thought an
average would be nbout 18 ikuiihIs.
An Investment of SGOO would yield
about $900. He snld a single queen
may become tho mother of 5(50,000
liees. lke-kceplng ought not to be
considered insignificant under these
circumstances. It iseasy, fascinating,
and philosophical besides. Mr. Wait
extended his figures, nnd showed by
low estimates that It may be mado
more profitable than any other branch
of our industry.
Ukks are exceedingly susceptible
of atmospheric changes ; even the
passage of a heavy cloud over the sun
will drive them home ; and if an
easterly wind prevails, however ilno
tho weather may otherwise be, they
have a sort of rheumatic abhorrence
of its influence, nnd abide at home.
I'i.ain Ciikam. One quart of sweet
milk, one cup of cream, one coficccup
of sugar, or less If you prefer, lxillcri
with a piece of orange peel, or flavor

fuls of sen moss farlne with cold milk
and stir into a boll. Two spoon mis of
rose uraiKiy is 11 iicucious nnvor lor
una cream, muwnny juicy iruu nice
ly, sweetening right, nnd when tail
ing stir Inn spoonful of corn starch
wet In cold water for every pint of
Juice. This gives a Juicy like appenr
nnco nnd clearness to tho fruit with
out Impairing the fruit in any way.
Whlleouly a moderato quantity of sit-
t;nr Is used, the Juice has a candled
00k. Cranberries, barberries, mid
such sour fruit arc improved by If. If
thojtiico is strained, tho corn starch
addition will make n very tolerable
Jelly, much plensantcr than tho Isln
uluss lellies. This must be noured In
Hat 1iihs dinhes to the depth of half

on the cream, let that stand, nnd add
another Inyer of fruit. This will be
found a delicious sulMtitute for pies In
summer when pastry is too rich to be
eaten.
A western paper gives the following
recipe for keeping potatoes, and asserts
thuf It will preserve them for years:
Dust over the floor of the bin with
lime ; put In nbout six or seven inches
deep of potutocs, nud dust with lime
as before. Put in six or seven Inches
of jtotatoes, and lime attain, and re
pent tho operation till all are Mowed
away. Ono bushel ofllino will do for
forty bushels of Mtatois,thouuh more
will not hurt them, the lime rutherlni
proviugtholtavortlian otherwise. The
lime may bo used for fertilizing after
the use of it.

the most acceptable of candidates, and

An experienced hop cultivator says
that on most soils, barnyard manure
once In three years, and ashes and
plaster every year, will best meet the
requirements of the hop crop.
