FIRST Years TREATMENT OF VINES
When grape vine is Iirst procured from the
nursery in spriug, it is usually furnished
with several irregular shoots Of the previous IS
summers growth. These should be all
closely pruned to the older wood, leaving
only the strongest, and this should he cut
back so as to leave but two or three buds
these buds will grow, and, when ony few
inches in length, the strongest shoot must
he selected, aud the others rubbed off. This
single shoot is allowed TO grow until about
tie first of autumn. After this period the
new leaves and wood that are formed cannot
mature perfectly, aud their growth will be
in some degree at the ex ense Of the matter
forming in lle previous portion of tue shoot
Its growth shouldstherefore be stopped by
pinching off the ends, and tliis will assist in
maturing and strengthening the vine. ANY
side. shoots that appear during the summer
or any smaller shoots that happen to spring
mp from the stump, should be kept rubbed
off as fast as they appear. as they withdraw
and divide the nourishment received from
tie roots.

We have used guano with good results,

dilute suIphuric acid and then mixed with
charcoal dust or the diuisor* described in
the early part of this article, it is a good
manure, and only surpassed by the additions
which convert it into the Nitrogenized and

bones in Sc lbs. Of sulphuric acid, add to

to this country. For the Nitrogenized Su-
per. phosphate, add to loo lbs. Of the I'm.

you have manure surprising all others as
a general manure, and more likely to act
better on all soils, than any other concentra.

As to produce and tafeu, we would say
that human feces, when mixed with the
dirisors before referred to, are among the
best of manures, as the food Of man con-
tains all the constituents that plants require,
and in the proportion in which they exist in
plants. But is this mixture fairly represen.

he can have no better manure, but the bulky

at their trunks or among their branches,
affected with moss, lice, and various kinds
of insects. These can be effectually cleared
away by wash Of ley, made from potash
or wood ashes, Of strength sufficient to
hear up an egg. 1t will kill every noxious
thing, and will not hurt the bark. A pound
of potash to a pailful of water will make it

a piece Of clean wheat stubble may be
ploughed for the purpose; also patches in
the garden where peas or early potatoes
have been harvested. Turnip seed is plen-

m MAKE pnRE WINE 0F APPLES.

Being aware that much wine sold for
genuine champagne was manufactured from
cider, we informed a correspondent short
time sine of this fact in answer to his inqui-
ry. The following letter was elected by
the reading Of the answer referred:-
MEssRs. ED1roRs.-l am well aware that
imitation wines are now extensively made
in the State Of New Jersey from the juice of
the apple, and more from Harrison apples
than from any other variety, and the most
of it is made at Newark. Those knoring
ones are correct with regard to its being a
MIXTURE of poisonous drugs not fit for the
human stomach.
Having been in the horticultural business
for over forty years have had an eye sin.
gle TO those spurious wines from the juice
of the apple.
1t is gratifying to me TO think that when
you CONS to taste aud test my wine-which
send you accompanying this letter-you
will find wine, a EAnre article, free from all
drugs, and not an imitation. The sample |
send you is eighteen months old, and made
after the following process.
Take pure cider made from sound ripe
apples as it runs from the press. Put TO
pounds Of common brown sugar into Is
gallons of the cider and lei it dissolve. then
put the mixture into clean barrel, and fill
the barrel up to within two gallons Of being
full with clean cider; put the cask in cool
place, leaving the bung out for 4s hours,
then put in the bung. with small vent, un.
I'll fermentation wholly ceases, and hung up
tight. and in one year the wine will be fit
for lse This wine requires no racking, the
longer it stands upon the less the better.
SrERNE BRuNsoN.
Elhart, Ind, April, 1856,
1t will be observed that our correspondent,
has, for the benefit Of all concerned, descril.
ed the method Of making pure cider wine,
| and it is for US to say something regarding
the sample he sent u.s. 1t is a gQsd cider
wine, the best we ever tasted. Ii it had any
fault, it consisted in being very little too
sweet This can be remedied by using less
sugar than the above named amount. A
barrel of cider contains 81 gallons. Wine
from currants can be made in the same
manner exactly.-Scrntiic American.
