The CHAIRNAS inquired what was the prevailing
course Of winds at Carbonate; that might &C.
count for the difficulty
WIN. LAYTON thought all vines should be trained
and trimmed to suit their particular loo alton.
Several other persons spoke upon this subject audit
was thought to be matter of good deal of impor-
tarce to have the vine exposed as to avoid danger
arising from disease, want Of sun and air.
Preserving apples an Winter.-SOLoS RoBIssos-
The came gentleman, Mr.. Joslin, communicates the
following Information about preserving apples. He

Curing Poisoned Sheep.-Mr Joslin communicates
another valuable fact. II is the earth remedy for
poisoned sheep. pet sheep poisoned with laurel,
lay down upon pile of fresh EARTH where it's
digging cellar, ard was partially buried, and in half
an hour got up cured. Having known deer and other
animals to dig into and lay down in the fresh earth
when bitten by snakes, and witnessing this earth
cure, he satisfied Of its remedial effect, aud has
since pactioed upon other poisoned sheep, by cover
ing them with fresh earth, and cured some that were
nearly lifeess by keeping them in the ground an hour
Prof. NAsH-On my fathers farm, il Massachusetts
many sheep polsoned with la lrel, and we some
times cured them with shot, administered by the hand
full. This is much better remedy. The shot we used
were very small and always cured if taken in time.
X. G. PARDEE-We have accounts Of persons who
have been cured Of diseases by burowng in the EARTH
effected cure by his earth bsths.
Mir. KISGsBURY-On my fathers farm in Berkshire
County, Mass, sheep that were poisoned were put on
the ground Of dark cellar, and were frequently cured
by the process.
CaLawba Uine-SoLoS RODINsoN-Hers is a sin
gular request not in itself singular but that comes
from Indianapolis, which is within few hours ride OF
the great wine manufacturing City of Cincinnati. Yet
the writer comes to this Farners Club for receipt for

Watering UIne.-R. G. PARDEE-At former meet
ing stated that the less water put in the better the
wine would be. have since had a chance OF seeing
a lsree number of samples OF wine tes:ed, and the
pam was given to bottle of currant wine as the best
Of ali. imported and domestic. 1t made of the
common Dutch currant after the following receipt,
which took the trouble to obtain from the lady who
made it. for the purpose OF communicating IL 10 the
world with our published proceedings.

The water used is not a quart to the gallon Of juice
but to gallon of the mashed pulp OF the currants,

IdbtLa GrapeS.-PIot NAsH-Ne have con1cting
testimony upon the failure of the Isabella grape. Now
what are the factsl Why, Ohst we have several
grapes Of different character, all under The name OF
Isabella Now under this state Of facts one may sue
coed and another fail.
Ringing the Vine ANDREW q. FULLER OF BROOK
Ion exhibited specimens of Isabella and Catawba
cranes TO show the advantage Ct ringing To make
them ripen earlier. The lunches above the rng are
fnllv matured while those below are entirely green
In Il, rng take of strip of bark quite down TO the
wood an inch wide, after the grapes are set. VI
couise destroys that part of the vine above the ring
for the next year. To prevent rot dip the branches
in strong sulphur water.
DR. TRIMBLE-I girdled a vine, and got grapes ear
her and larger. The fruit above the ing never NIL
dewed nor rotted.
Mr. FuILER-The process is most valuable one,
and saves Summer pruning. 1t does not ipJure the
vine to cut into the wood. Grapes may DC grated

Budding can be done upon trees, when the BARK
does not peel, by fitting the wood careuy toge,ne''
Shellsc is the best material TO cover graft wound

dust or in moist EARTH perhaps charcoal dust Is the
best material. That is what the Dutch gardeners al
ways pack their bulbs in when they really Wish 10
have them live. ,
Cn,firafing RdspJerries.-Mr. PARDEE read the
following paper upon the cultivation of raspberries.
