As I am now having a little leisure time, I will take the bpportnnity to comply with the promise to furnish you with a short article on my operations with the Scuppernong grape this Beason. At the outset, I will say I am amazed at the productiveness of this class of grapes; the quan tity that ca 0 be raised on an acre ol ground is no longer problematical with me. I have one vine ooverlng an arbor twenty yards loDg and fourteen yards wide, and thirteen years old, which has given mo thirty bushels of clean grapes, by actual measurement, being at the rate of 525 bushels per acre; and as a bushel of grapes weighs fifty-two pounds, and yields three and a halt gallons juice per bushel, I am getting at the rate of thirteen tons and 1,800 gallons of wine per acre. This vine has never had an hour's cultivation nor any manuring since it was planted, other than the leaves that fall from it annually. I have another vine larger and older than the above mentioned, being twenty-five years old. This is not so productive, in consequence of growing in ground too rich, being in my back yard, where, from its receiving the waste water incident to such a situation, its growth is too vigorous. I have had clusters of grapes this season car rying twenty-four large berries, and numbers of berries measuring one and a quarter (1) inches in diameter each. I found one.berry which measured 1 inches in diameter and y inches in circumference, which is the largest I have ever seen or heard of. I see in the papers gome statements in regard to the large yield of grapes the present season in some of the vine yards in California, to-wit four to five tons per acre, l nave no donor wnatever tnat, wnn our Scuppernong, I can raise treble the num ber of pounds per acre than can be either in California or the Valley of Eschol, with any grape in the world. I have about one hundred vines of various ages nnder cultivation. J. Van Ruben, Clarks villc, Ua. We clip the above from the columns of the "Rural Southernrr and Plantation" more to show what can be done with this popular grape on its "native heath," than any design of rec ommending it to the culture ot Pennsylvanians. If we are not very much mistaken, our venera ble friend, Jacob B. Oarbor, of Columbia, Pa., has given the "Scuppernong" a thorough trial, and finds it not at all adapted to the latitude of Lancaster county. This grape is also said to bo free from the attacks of Phylloxera and othor enemies that this fruit is heir to, and that cions grafted on its roots will escape their infestations. The yield above described is so abundant, and the fruit bo remarkably fine, that other attempts to acclimate it micht result more favorable, and therefore be worthy of extended trial. Of course practical growers who cultivate grapes for profit will best know what to do in the premises. This is an experimental or tran sition period in the horticultural history of our country, and thereforo in securing any step forward we must run the risk ol temporary backward movement occasionally. Lancaster Farmer. Grafting and the Phylloxera. At the meeting of the Missouri Horticultural Society, Prof, Riley, in an address upon the new grape peBt, Phylloxera, called attention to the fact that certain varieties were exempt from the attacks ol the insect. lie reoom mended grafting as a remedy. Speaking of this means as a preventive, ho stated the absolute necessity of preventing the vine iroru taking root from tbe graft, as it would undoubtedly do without constant care, if tho operation was performed, as is most common, underground. To obviato this, ho reoommended two woll known methods of grafting above ground, but which are seldom practiced in the West. He said: Tho first is by temporarily making a fnlfso surfaco nnd grafting in the ordinary manner, . ,. instead of digging away tho earth and in sorting the cion two or three inches below ground, it should bo inserted two or three inches above grouud, and the earth thrown up around it, to be removed only after the graft is thoroughly and permanently joined. Thero will then be no dauger of the graft forming Its own roots; and it is certainly as easy to throw the earth around tbo viuo us to die it awar. while the mechanical work can bo much more TrC SwiN"E Ya1d Feeding Swine in Summer. A correspondent of tbe Germantown Telegraph writes: ' During the hot summer months I would reed very little solid fed, such as corn in tbe ear or uncracked. I would keep hogs upon green feed constantly, either grass, oats or rye, and feed them at regular intervals. once or twice a day. upon mashed feed, either shoits, chopped oats or rye, butkwheat, etc., fed in troughs. When fed in this way, and at the same time allowed accesi to water and shade, hogs will bear crowding through the hot months, a very good time, if not the best, to take on flesh. This puts them in the best of condition for corn feeding, which should commence about the let of September, when the new crop is still soft and tender," This writer is on the eve of finding out that the hog requires bulky food as well as the cow or horse. Because pork is usually made by feeding grain, many farmers have almost ceased to regard the hog as a grass eating animal. When farmers shall study the nature of the pig and feed it accordingly, there will be little trouble with cholera, scurvy or other diseases. Both are no doubt occasioued by errors in feed ing and uncleanly surroundings. One point mentioned in tbe above paragraph needs cor rection, and that is, that it is dangerous to feed high in summer. This idea has grown out of the fact that diseases are more prevalent in warm weather; but the cause of greater preva lence of disease, is that concentrated food creates fever in the stomnch, and the hot weather increases the difficulty. Cold weather carries off much of the unnatural heat, and thus modifies the effect of grain diet alone. Now the pig should be fed in such a way that the stomach will be healthy at all times, and then the summer heat will aid the growth and laying on of fat. With crass or other oreen food, given with meal, the pig may be fattened much cheaper in summer than fall or winter; it requiring little food to keep up animal heat. Tbe summer is tho economical time to make pork; give plenty of clover, green rye, oats, turnips, beets, carrots or other green food rel ished by the pig, and with this give corn meal, ground oats, peis or any other grain, and yonr pigs will make healthy pork, and the pork cost fifty per cent, less than that made in winter. Live Stock Journal. Salt for Hoos. The unrestrained appetite of swine will often lead them to consume things that aro highly injurious to them. Cases of poisoning by partaking of excessive quantities of salt often occur among hogs at this season, when beef and pork barrels are emptied of the old brine and refuse salt. A case in which soveral hogs were lost in England was recently noted. Hogs require a certain amount of salt, as do other animals, but it should be given to them with caution, and either evenly mixed or scattered very thinly about their troughs, so roai one more greeny man another cannot take more than its proper Bhare.

Pros. The farmer should not forget that warm weather is the profitable timo to fatten his pigs. He should not wait till it takes one hall of the food that tho pig can eat to keep him warm. Now is the timo to feed soft corn. The corn on an acre will make 25 per cent, more pork while soft than when it gets hard and flinty. In the soft state it does not need any cooking; it is then in the cooking process of nature. Feed your pigs now, judiciously, all they will eat, and push them on the fattening road as fast as possible. Exchange, PoiIlthy Yrd- Fattening Chickens. do Strained.

The second method is by inarohlng. This system of grafting does not Beein to have been much practiced in this country, jet while it requires great care, and success may not as often crown the effort as iu tho former methods, I hopo more attention will in the future bo given to it. Tho operation is comparatively simple. A slice two or three incites long Is out from one tide of tho vine to be grafted, and a tiuiilar slice from the vine which 1b to servo as stock, as near tho baso or butt as possible Tho two out portions aro then brought face to face, so as to fit as neatly at possible., aud aro then bound together with cord, basswood bark, or other grafting bundugo. Iu the course ot a fortnight partial unison takes place, when the baudage should bo somewhat loosened, to admit the expansion. In six or tight weeks, if the operation is sucoesbful, tho Btook and cion are firmly united, when the bandage may be re moved. Tho graft immediately below tho union, and the stock immediately above it, should then be partially severed, and in a week or two more Bhould bo entirely out looxe. Prof. lUley closed by giving varieties upou which to graft, viz: Concord, Clinton, Herbo mout, Cunningham, Norton's Virginia, Itentz, Oynthiaua, and also varieties to graft on toauy or all ot the above, as of first importance: Ca tawba, Ioua, Delaware, Wilder; CUethe, any European or hybrid vine with suohj of seconcf. ary importance Ives, Hartford, l'roliflo, Max atiwnoy, HYsftrn 7ittntJ. To Weave Hair. A writer in The Household gives some very plain directions how to weave hair: Tke a smooth board one and a half feet long and six or eight inches wide. Near one cud drive three ahlngle nails in a row, the nails being half an inch a part and the row running parallel with tbe end of the board. At the other end, op posite the middle nail, drive one nail; wax three pieces of liuen throad, tie them together at one end, and about a quarter of an iuch from this knot tie another. Now slip it over the nail that atands alone, then tie one to each ol the three nails, drawing the thread considerably tight. Take the board on your Ian, with the three sails toward the right hand. Next take a bunch of hair, both the ends evened, the sice of a knitting needle, wet that and and put it under th thread nearest yon, over the middle thread and uuder the hut, then bring it back cm th left aide, reversing th order, Now pmah It do up acalnit th knot. Frooeed is tad way until th atrip la of th required length. After it is dry it can be paahtd to Mtnr aaor closely. Twist is apwio to linen It is hopeless to attempt to fatten chickens whilo they are at liberty. They must be put ud in n proper coop and this, like most other np- purienauces, neeu not oo expensive to tatten twelve fowls a coop may bo thfee feet Ions. oightccn Inches high and eighteen inches deep, mado entirely of bars. No part solid neither top, Bidos nor bottom. Discretion must be used, aocording to tho sizo of tho chickens put up. They do not want any room; indeed, tho closer they aro the better, provided they can all stand up at the Bame time. Care must be taken to put up such as have been accustomed to be together, or they will fight. If one is quarrelsome it is better to remove it at once, as, like other bad examples, it soon finds imi tators. Diseased chickens should never be put up. The food Bhould be ground oats, nnd may either bo put up in a trough or on a flat board running along tho front of the coop. It may be mixed with water and milk the latter is tho better. It should be well Boaked, forming a pulp its loose as can be, provided it does not run off the board. Thoy must be well fed three or four times a day, tho first time as soon after daybreak as may be possible or conven ient, aud then at intervals of four hours. Each meal Bhould be as much as they can eat up clean, aud no more. When they havo dono feeding, tho board should be wiped aud some gravel spread. It causes them to feed and thrive. After a fortnight of this treatment yon will have good, fat fowl. If, however there are but five or six to be fatted, thoy must not have as much room as though there were a dozen. Nothing is easier than to allow them the proper spnee, as it is only necessary to have two or threo pieces of wood to pass betweou the bars and form a partition. This may also servo when fowls are up at different degrees of fatness. This requires attention, or fowls will not keep fat and healthy. As noou as the fowl is sufficiently tatted, it must be killed; other wise it will not get fatter, but will lose flesh. If fowls are intended for the market, of course they are or may be fatted at once: but if for home consumption, it is belter to put them up at such intervals as will euit the time when they will be required for the table. When the time arrives for klllius. whether they are meant for market or otherwise, they should be fasted without food or water for twelve or fifteen hours. This enables them to keep for some time after being killed, even in hot weather. Journal of Chemistry. JIU 00 $10 IK' 111! SO an so 60 Dbkssxd Mutton.

Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions 01 tms coast, ana long practice iu patent business, enable us to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventorc are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate pur advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the publio through the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secures with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries which grant Patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Bussia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chile, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. No models ore required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent laws agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can ana do get foreign patents for inventors in the Pacifio States from two to six months (according to the location of the country BOONEB than any other agents. Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered by a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applications which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advice of importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money but their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agency. We are familiar with, and nave full records, of all former cases, and con more directly judge of the value and patentability of inventions discov ered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of government, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacifio Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by the extra time consumed in transmit ting specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve secreoy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents con rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us.
