MODE AND TINE OF PLANTING.
l have found little difference in the
growth of vines, whether planted in the
fall or spring, When planted in the fall,
and slightly protected during the first
winter, anearly start, and usually more
vigorous growth may be expected, thar,
from vines transplanted in spring. A
deep and pervious soil, moderately rich,
is undoubtedly best. A clay loan, well
under-drained, will produce good, healthy
vines and fruit; and if abounding some
what with gravel or pebbles, so much the
better. If lime does nos exist naturally
in the soil. it should be pretty freely sup
piled; and if the soil is poor, enrich it
with any well decomposed manure at
hand. A situation where water will settle
and stagnate about the roots will not an
swer. Such a soil must be under-drained
to raise good vines and grapes.

Seed Corn.

VIM. L. Morgan, of Pottsville, Warren
county, Indiana, says that seed from the
butt of an ear of corn will ripen its pro-
duct all at the same time, and some three
weeks earlier than seed from the little
end Of the same ear. He recommends
farmers always to break their seed corn
ears in two in the middle, and use the
butt ends only for seed.
The above statement is worthy Of a
trial. The facts for farmers are not all
known vet. Accidents and experiments
are yet to unfold much valuable informa-
tion Very much relative to seed and
seeding may yet be learned. That seed
should be perfect, grown under favorable
circumstances, full of vital strength and
instinct. with a vigorous constitution there
can be no doubt. The plant, like the ami
NAL inherits a certain constitutional
force, and certain qualities from its ances-
trail seek. Plants have physiological and
pathological conditions, healthy and dec
eased states, laws of inheritance and be-
quest, as much as animals. And all the
information relative to the laws by which
they germinate, live and grow, is import
ant to the farmer. He lives upon the
plant and animals. His profession relates
to them. They, therefore, should be his
study. All that can be known of them he
should know. All that can be made out
of them he should make. Thoroughly
informed should he be in all that relates
to plants and animals. Expenseless ex-
periments may be made on every farm
every year all over the country, and thus
many useful discoveries be made. The
spirit Of Investigations may do much for
the farmer.

but nevertheless it is a fact, that the
meerschaums so popular in the country at
the present day, costing from 81 to S5,
are mere shams. The genuine meer-
schaums, or that portion IN which the ci-
glr or tobacco is placed, is made in Wen
na, of clay found in Asia. This clay
resembles porcelain clay Of this country,
and is easily moulded into any desired
shape, and the finer the quality, the
more easily it is colored BY the oil Of the

resembling rosin, found along the Baltic

Hardy Native Grape Vines.
THE DELAWARE GRAPE.


This fine grape, which was first disse,
minated from Delaware, Ohio. and from
which it derives its name, is becoming
generally known, and is universally re-
garded, wherever it has been introduced,
as eminently superior to any other native
American grape in cultivation. The per-
feet hardness of the vine; its great pro-
ductiveness; the exquisite beauty, both in
form and color, of its rich clusters; its
surprising excellence of favor and qua
lity, together with Its early ripening, give
it at once claims to public favor which no
other grape yet known possesses. l have,
in repeated instances, placed the Della
ware before my friends, together with the
finest foreign varieties cultivated under
glass, such as Black Hamburger, the From
tignans, Chasselas Musque, &c., and in
almost every instance the Delaware has
had decided preference over all the 9TH
ers. Mr.. Charles Downing, one of the
most distinguished pomologists in Ameri-
ca, says upon this point: Il have until
recently maintained preference for my
Old favorite, the sweet, luscious Black
Hamburger. But to the pure, rich, sugary
wine of the Delaware, must concede my
preference. 1t constantly grows upon my
liking, and when / consider all Its excel
lencies, regarding its fine, healthy, vi
gorous habit, as well as quality Of fruit, /
can scarcely speak of it in measured terms
of praise" +"
1t is much to be regretted, that soon
after the introduction of the Delaware,
an idea obtained prevalence that it was
foreign variety, the Traminer, which
grape it resembles in some degree; but
differing entirely in quality, hardness,
vigor of growth, and all other respects
which constitute hardy, outdoor grape.
Under this false impression, thousands of
spurious vines have been sold for the De-
laware, and in some localities they have
been propagated from for sale, and sent
out for the Delaware, by nurserymen who
probably never had genuine Delaware
vine in their possession. In many, and
perhaps most instances, this evil has been
done unconsciously; for many persons,
Mr.. N. Longworth, ,>of Cincinnati, among
the rest, at first believed the Delaware
and Traminer to be the same. A letter
from Mr.. Longworth, dated August q,
1859, now before me, places this matter
at rest. He says: "The Delaware is
certainly native grape. do not believe
it has any connection with the Fox family;
and from its hardy character, cannot be a
seeding of the foreign grape. 1t greatly
resembles the Traminer."
The Delaware ripens from the 18th of
August to the 1st of September, in this
latitude, about three weeks before the
Isabella. This fact, combined with its
power of enduring the severest winters
unprotected, and without injury, renders
it particularly desirable for northern loca-
lities, where Isabellas and other native
grapes will not mature.

Russian HOt.HOlse.

Bayard Taylor thus described the mag
nifcent greenhouse, which the Gar of
Russia maintains for the production and
growth of tropical and other exotic plants,
amidst the SHOWS of Russia:
The Botanic Garden, in which l spent
an afternoon, contains one of the finest
collection Of tropical plants in Europe.
Here, in latitude so degrees, you may
walk through an avenue of palm trees go
feet high, under tree ferns and bananas,
by ponds of lotus and Indian lilly, and
banks of splendid orchards. breathing an
air heavy with the richest and warmest
odors. The extent of this giant hot-house
cannot be less than a mile and half. The
short summer, and long, dark, winter of
the north, requires a peculiar course of
treatment for those children Of the sun.
During the three warm months they are
forced as much as possible, so that the
growth of the six months is obtained in
that time, and the productive qualities of
the plant are kept up to their normal stan
dard. After this result is obtained, it
thrives as steadily as in more favored
climate. The palms in particular, are
noble specimens. One of them, a phe-
nix, believe, Is now in blossom, which
is an unheard Of event in such latitude

THE LOGAN GRAPE

Is variety newly introduced, and hav-

grape very much resembling the Isabella,
both in bunch and berry. It's, however,
distinct in foliage and flavor from that
variety, and is also of greater hardness,
and much earlier ripenlng at the same
time with the Delaware. 1t is fruit of
higher favor than the Isabella, highly re-
garded by all who have tested it, and was
placed by the last United States Pomolo-
gical Convention upon the list of grapes
promising WE'LL" This variety, with
the Delaware and Concord, are the only
ones in my collection which have endured
all our late severe winters unprotected,
without injury. It's therefore peculiarly
adapted to northern localities.

A Kentucky farmer has been making
experiments in feeding several lots of
hogs, changing them from raw to cooked,
and ground to unground food, with the
following results:
One bushel of dry corn made five pounds
and ten ounces of live pork. One bushel
of boiled corn made fourteen pounds and
seven ounces of pork. One bushel of
ground corn, boiled, made, in one In
stance, sixteen pounds seven ounces, IN
another, nearly eighteen pounds of pork.
Estimating corn at 80 cents bushel, and
pork at 8 cents pound, we have for one
bushel of dry corn, 45 cents of pork: for
one bushel of boiled corn, 81, ,l5 worth Of
pork, and for one bushel of ground corn
boiled, S1,36 worth of pork.
