GRAPE VISEs.-There are thousands
of acres of rocky hill sides over the
country, which contain a suficiency of
soil in each of the many clefts and small
hollows for grape. vine. Many of these
are now covered with brush wood, of no
value, and incapable of being turned to
good account in any other way. Yet
here we have some of the very best sites
for vineyards, which can be planted with
very little expense, except clearing, burn
ing and strewing the ashes upon the same
ground. In such places the roots delight
to run, providing there are few inches
of soil to cover them, for they will lap
around and creep under the rocks, and
will draw moisture and nourishment out
of the stone ITSELF This is one of the
most natural positions for the grape vine,
in which, if the most luxurant growth be
always secured, there will be a good crop
of finely favored fruit, and an absence of
some of those diseases that we have often
to complain Ct in a more artificial state
of culture. Here the branches may be
allowed to ramble over the rocks and
inequalities of the surface and, except
ing judicious pruning, take their own
way, and it needs no poets eulcgy to
portray the beauty of such picturesque
scenery. -HorticuLturist.

WHICH IS THE WEAKER SExi-A
question of some significance is asked BY
a writer in the Pictorial Times, viz
(Which is the weaker sex ?" The ques:
ton is answered by the same writer, as
follows:
Females are called the weaker sex,
but why? If they are not strong, who is?
When men must wrap themselves in
thick garments, and incase the whole in
stout overcoat, to shut cut the cold,
women, in thin silk dresses, with neck
and shoulders bare, or nearly so, say
they are perfectly comfortable When
men wear water proof boots over wooden
hose, and incase the whole in India rub
Der, to keep them from freezing, women
wear their thin hose, and cloth shoes, and
pretend not to feel the cold When
men cover themselves with furs, and then
complain of the severity of the weather,
women hang an apology for bonnet at
the back of their heads, and ride or walk
about in north east winds, protesting not
to suffer at all %

Cinnamon FieIds in Ce7lon.

One morning was, as usual on our first
arrival, taken up by visits. In the after
noon, we drove through the far famed
cinnamon gardens, which cover upwards
of II 900 acres of land on the. coast, the
largest of which are near Colombo. The
plant thrives best in poor, sandy soil, in
damp atmosphere. 1t grows wild in
the woods, to the size of an apple tree,
but when cultivated, is never allowed to
grow more than ten or twelve feet in
height, each plant standing separate
The leaf is something like the laurel in
shape, but of a lighter color. When it
first shoots out it is red, and changes
gradually to green. 1t is now out OF
blossom, but / am told the blossom is
white, and spreads when in full blossom,
to cover the garden. After hearing so
much of the spicy gales from this island.
l was much disappointed at not being
able to discover any scent, at least from
the plants. In passing through the gar
dens, there is fragrant-smelling flower
growing under them, which are first led
into the belief that we smelt the CHINA
mons, but we were'soon undeceived. On
pulling off leaf or twig, you perceive
the spicy odor very strongly, but l was
surprised to hear that the flower had
little or none. AS the cinnamon forms
the only considerable export of Ceylon,
it is of course preserved with care. By
the old Dutch law, the penalty for cut
ting a branch was no less than the loss of
hand; at present fine expiates the
offence. The neighborhood of Colombo
is particularly favorable to its growth,
being well sheltered. with high equable
temperature, and as showers fall frequent
ly, the ground is never parched.-Bishop
Heller.

CIGARs.-The finest tobacco in the
world comes from Havana. But there
is only a limited area in Cuba in
which that tobacco is produced so that
whilst the Havana tobacco may be of ex-
cellent quality in general, the best is the
produce of a very small area, and is
chiefly used in the island or as presents.
a very limited amount going into con-
sumption. Tobacco, scarcely inferior to
that from Havana, has, however, been
brought from Trinidad, and the Southern
Russian provinces. Manufacture, on the
other hand, exercises a great influence
over the quality of tobacco. In Algiers,
wheie the climate is most favorable, the
cigars are not smokable, because they are
badly prepared. Again some English
made cigars are of much greater excel
lence, than many of the cigars imported
from HAVANA, and paying the highest
duty as manufactured tobacco and there
is no doubt whatever that it is quite
practicable to make cigars in this coun-
try, which shall be undistinguishable in
appearance, and not very distinguishable
in favor, from any except those first
class Havana cigars, which scarcely ever
come into consumption.-From Skim6' S

Recommendations is the pa
rent of physical and moral health to the
State-it is the salt which preserves from
moral corruption. Not only are her la
bors useful in administering to our wants
and in dispensing the blessings of abun-
dance to others, but she is constantly ex-
ercising salutary influence upon the
moral and physical health of the State,
and in perpetuating the republican habits
and good order of society. While rural
labor is the great. source of physical
health and constitutional vigor to our
population, IT interposes the most formi-
dable barrier to the demoralizing inAu-
ence of luxury and vice. We seldom
hear of civil connections, Of crimes, or
of hereditary disease, among those who
are steadily engaged in the business of
agriculture. Men who are satisfied with
the abundant and certain resources of
their own labor and their own farms, are
not willing to leopard these enjoyments,
BY promoting popular tumult of tolera-
ting crime. Tho more we promote the
interests of the agriculturist, by develop
ing the powers of his mind and elevating
his moral views, the more we shall pro-
mote the virtue and happiness of society.

Turnips for Stock Feed.

Root culture for stock feed is-increasing
in the United States every year. This is
well. The wonder is, with the example
of England before them, that our our far
mers and feeders did not many years ago
give more attention to roots and less to
grain for stock feed. 1t was demonstra-
ted in Europe long ago, that horses fed
partly on carrots in winter, are much
healthier than horses fed exclusively on
dry feed. Without the English turnip
fields, sheep husbandry would not be the
same thing that it now is in England by
many degrees. Root feed for mich cows
is highly esteemed throughout Great
Britain, and its economy as well as its
healthiness has been fully established.
In the dry, hot climate of the Ohio
Valley, nothing like English success car
be looked for in the cultivation of .he
turnip. Still, it is a remuneEating crop
here, even in seasons rather unfavorable,
if geoG seed be procured, and the ground
to which they are sown be rich, mellow
and deeply piowed. The ravages of the
black fly are great draw back, but il
favorable weather be taken advantage of,
and plenty of seed sown, enough will get
the start of the fly to cover the ground
by the time the plants are well grown.
Experience has shown that the best va
rieties for growth in this country, as stock
feed, are the rtsa-baga and the English
fat. The latter is also an excellent table
vegetable.

SIMPLE BUTTER CooLER.-It is wei
known that if pitcher, filled with water,
be surrounded with a cloth, and the
cloth kept constantly wet, the evapora-
ton from the cloth will reduce the tenn
perature Of the water in the pitcher al
most equal to ice water. Mr.. Septimus
Piesse, whose name is familiar to many
readers of the Scientific Amerie0n, sug-
gests very simple method for cooling
butter on this principle that may be en-
ployed by every house keeper. 1t is as
follows: Procure large new flower pot
of sufficient size to cover the butter
plate, and alo saucer large. enough for
the flower pot to rest in upside down ;
place trivet or meat stand (such as is
sent to the oven when the joint is baked J
in the saucer, and put on this trivet the
plate of butter; now fill the saucer with
water, and turn the flower pot over the
butter, so that its bottom edge will be
below the water. The hole In the flower
pot must be filed with a cork, the butter
will be in what we may call an air tight
chamber. Let the whole of the outside
of the flower pot be then thoroughly
drenehed with water and place it in as
cool spot as you can. If this be done
over night, the butter will be as "frm as
a rock" at breakfast time, or if placed
there in the morning the butter will be
quite hard for use at the hour for tea
The reason of this is, that when water
evaporates it produces cold. as in the
case of the pitcher and the cloth; the
porous pot draws up the water, which, in
warm weather, quickly evaporates from
the sides, and thus cools it, and as no
warm air can now get to the butter, it
becomes firm and cool in the hottest day.
This is an exceedingly convenient method
for keeping similar articles cool where
persons have not the advantage of an ice
house. Valley Farmer.

Cool WATER.-The following simple
method, it is said, will keep water almost
as cold as ice: Let the jar, pitcher or
vessel used for water, be surrounded with
one or more folds of coarse cotton, to be
constantly wet. The evaporation of the
water will carry off the heat from the
inside and reduce it to freezing point.
In India and other tropical climes, where
ice cannot be procured, this is common.
Let every mechanic and laborer have in
his place of employment two pitchers
thus provided, and with lids or covers,
one to contain the fresh water for drink
ing, the other for evaporation, and he
can always have supply of cold water
in warm weather. Amy person can test
this by dipping finger in the water,
and holding it in the air on a warm day I;
after doing this three or four times. he
will find his finger intentionally cid.

HAVE No TINE TO READ.-The idet
about the wants of time is a mere phan.
tom. Franklin found time in the midst
of all his labors to dive into the hiden re,
cess of all his philosophy, and explore
the untrodden path of science. The great
Frederick, with an empire at his direc.
ton. in the midst of war, on the eve oil
battles which were to decide the fate Of
his kingdom, found time to revel in the
charms Of philosophy and intellectual
pleasures. Bonaparte with all Europe al
his disposal. with kings in his ante-cham-
Der begging for vacant thrones, with
thousands of men whose destinies were
suspended by the brittle thread of his ar
bitrary pleasure, had time to converse
with books. Caesar, when he had cur
bed the spirits of the Roman people, and
was thronged with visitors from the re-
motest kingdoms, found time for intellec-
tual conversation. Every man has time;
IF he is careful to improve it as well as he
might, he can reap a three-fold reward.
Let mechanics make use of the hours at
their disposal, if they want to obtain a
proper influence in society. They can
if they please, hold in their hands the
deStinies of our Republic; they are nu-
merous, respectable and powerful and
they have only to. be educated half as
well as other professions, to make laws
for the nation.
