From the Prairie Farmer.
GRAPE CUTTING.

There are those who advocate a re-.
mission of the severe cuttings recon
mended in the books for the treatment OF
the grape vine. This mode of pruning
is of European orgin. ard is received
in the first place on European authority.
Those who question lis p-oprieiy believe
tina, deviation from the customs Of that
continent will be as beneficial in relai ~
10 The vine as in the case Of seve a
other plants. We have not facts enough
at hand to decide the question. but must
confess that the best yields of grape we
have vet seen IN this State have been
on vines 10 which knife had never been
applied; aud we have also been told by a
cul,iva,or who claimed to have tried cut.
ting and letting alone, ,ha. the latter
gave him the more and better fruit. The
"roledo Blade" paper Of ability,
gives us little scrap OF personal history
which has the same bearing. 1t says:
I'VE had grape vines thusserved (cu)
for several years, but they did not seem
to do well. A gardner, a yankee, who
ha1 had great experience, advised diff.
.feren, course. He believed the climate
too severe for such treatment. In the
treatment Of his own wires, he had
waited until The buds had put forth to
about the size of small grare aud then
trimmed his vines. Being then in full
vigor, full tide of sap ascending. nature
repaired the wounds much more sum
marily and in manner less injurious TO
the vines. lie also had learned that in
onr climate the Italian mode of throwing
the vines over trees was the most Ger
tain to promote production and health.
This plan we partially adopted, and
found The vines more prolific and the
grapes greatly improved in quantity
We have frequsnlly met with people
who had butilI success in grape culture.
under the winter cut and slash sy stem Of
pruning. Others have been successful.
We recommend TO all those who have
failed to obtain an abundant crop of this
delicious luxury, TO try spring pruning,
and as far as practicable throw the vines
upon trees. Such as have been success.
1ul with the other plan can do no better
than to adhere TO IT,"

A few things pertaining to the
Orchard.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I have noticed
tina, but few people who plant orchards
understand the proper manner of after
culture. Many in blowing their orchards
always turn the furrow towards the tree.
! have seen orchards where the tree
stood in the centre Of large mound
This is injurious to the tree, for besides
burying the roots next 10 the Tree deeper
than they should be, i. causes the rain
to settle in the gullies. The ground in
an orchard, and especially mex, the trees,
should be kept as near level as possible,
and this is the way should do it,
Others can do as ,he, please about fol
lowing my example. In blowing my
orchard ] make my land as wide as two
rows of trees are two rods apart the
lands are four rods wide. ! make the
back burrows half way between the trees;
that brings furrow or ridge in the
middle of one space. and dead furrow
or hollow in the middle OF the next,
throwing furrow towards the tree on
one side, and always from il on the other.
Then when plan, corn. lin the orchard. J
l level the dirt with the hoe. The next
year pillow the same way, throwing the
back furrow in the old GeaG furrow, SO
that every two plouehings leaves the
ground in its natural situation. My
orchard is near the woods where rabbits
are plenty. Last fall l cut up my corn
and left it in the field, but the rabbits
began at the trees early ir winter. A
friend told me 10 wash the trees with
lime rid cowdurg. So rniyed pau
