The Scuppernong Grape.
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

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. Exchange.

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,

conveniently and agreeably performed above
than beneath tho surface. 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

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.

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. Circulars free.
Engravings.
We have superior artists in our own office, and
all facilities for producing fine and satisfac
tory illustrations of inventions and machinery,
for newspaper, book, circular and other
printed illustrations, and are always ready to
assist patrons in bringing their valuable is-
covenes into practical ana prontable use.
