Propagating Grape-Vines.

AIessrs, Editors Am objection to the
purchase of choice grape-vincs is frequently
made, that they cost so much If persons
who own little land, could properly APP
preciate the difference between good and or
dinary fruit, and could see how rapidly the
vines can be multiplied, the objection would
in some measure cease.
l last year planted a root of the Concord
grape and by laying down the branches, |
have obtained FIVE additional roots. saw
a nursery-man who did the same. and his
six additional roots.
When setting out the first root, it is q
good plan to set it rather lowi in the ground.
That will give better chance for layering,
as the surface will yet be SO low that the
roots can be more readily watered.-BostoH

GOOD SEED-CoRN.-Mr. James Day, lla-
verhill, Mass, has sent us a sample of the
crop of corn for which he received the first
premium Of the Essex Agricultural Society
last year. 1t is fine specimen of what is
sometimes called the improved Canada vari-
ETY.. The ears are twelve-rowcd, and Of
good length; the cob is not large; the
grains are set very closely, and are remark
ably heavy. We have known the variety
many years, and always considered it one of
the best where early maturity in the crop is
important. 1t can be obtained of Mr.. Day.

A correspondent OF the Portland Adyer-
tiser writes Us follows touching the use OF
guano:- -
For one acre designed for corn and grain.
l mix 800 pounds of Guano with about four
times that quantity of either dried muck.
loan, or sand, and let it remain few days
on the barn floor where il was mixed, TO
facilitate the process of amalgamation.-
The land should be ploughed deep, and IL
broken or rough, narrowed. Then on the
land thus prepared, sow broadcast, and rs
evenly as possible, the mixture turning it in
with light horse plow or heavy cultiator,
and finish with brush harrow. am con-
fident that strict observance OF those SIM
pie rules will give the farmer for ten dollars
invested in Guano, fifty dollars in cOrn.-
For potatoes the Guano mixed as above
should be placed in the hill so as to cover
about the same space as the potatoes will
occupy. 800 lbs. per acre Is sufficient.
For roots-snch as beets, carrots, &C.,
farrow the ground with alight horse plough
and strew the mixture in the rows. For
onions, other fertilizer is at all comparable
to this mixture. When used as top dress
ing, the compound should be sown on
damp day, or when it is calm.
The growth of corn will be promoted in
its earlier stages, il handful Of old stable
manure is thrown IN the hill

lHE CRIMINAL WITNESS.

In the Spring of '4S, | was called to Jack
son to attend court, having been engaged tc
defend young man accused of robbing the
mail. | had long conference with my
client, and he acknowledged to me that on
the night when the mail was robbed, hhad
been with party of dissipated companions
over to Tapham, and that on returning,
they met the mail carrier on horseback COM
ing from jackson. Some of his companions
were very drunk, and they proposed to stop
the carrier, and overhaul his bag. The
roads were very muddy at the time, and the
coach could not run. Ny client assured me
that he not only had no hand in robbing
the mail, but he tried to dissuade his COM
panions. But they would not listen to him.
One of them slipped up behind the car
rier and Knocked him from the horse. Then
they bound and blindlolded him, and hav-
ing tied him to a tree they took the mail
bag, and made off to n ncighboring field,
whore they overhauled it, finding some five
hundred dollars in money in various letters.
lie went with them, but in no way did he
have any hand in the crime. Those who
did it fed, and as the carrier had recognized
him in the party, he had been arrested.
The mail bag had been found, as well as
the letters. These letters from which money
had been taken, were kept by order of the
officers, and duplicates sent to the various
persons, to whom they were directed. These
letters had been sent to me for examination,
and | had returned them to the prosecuting
attorney.
Igot through with my private prclimina-
ries about noon, and rs the case would not
come up before the next day. went into
the court to see what was gong on. The
first case which came up was one of theft,
and the prisoner was a young girl not more
than seventeen years Of age, Elizabeth Mad
worth. She was very pretty, and bore that
mild, innocent look, which we seldom find
in culprit. She was pale and frightened,

LOUIS 0. COWAN, Editor and Proprietor.

Rich compost should not be put in the
hills, for il makes more vines than potatoes,
and the vines are more liable to rot. Put
little straw from the COW yard into each
hill on top of the potatoes and bury the
whole with well formed hill-nOt too high
or too fiat and if you plant but few in the
hill you may have large potatoes-if you
plant quart you will have quite mess OF
small potatoes.-Pioughman.
FRrIr AND FLOWER CuLruRE.-The in
creasins interest taken in pomological. for
icultural matters in this country, is hope

will come and sing to you, and the melon.

The y. Y. Tribune concludes an article

vice -
There is pressing need now for great
