cause and Prevention 0fGrane Rot

According to the theory of writer in
the Southern Homestead the grape rot
proceeds from different cause than has
generally been supposed. If the writer
is correct, the season will soon be at
hand for applying the prevention. 1t is
certainly worthy the attention of those
whose wineries have suffered from this
malady. He says:-"Since l have liv-
ed in the United States, | have very of
ten heard persons complaining of the rot
of the grapes at the time they begin to
ripen, and giving as the cause of it, the
dampness of the atmosphere that prevails
in the months Of July and August. This
Is not the true cause Of tie rot. In the
spring when the blossoms of the grape
begin to open, kind of bug, nearly like
what is called the army worm, deposits
its egg in the blossom, where they re-
main until they arc hatched, which hap.
pens when the berries have nearly at
tanned their full size. They then force
their way out, leaving little hole or
epeck on the berry, and after the fruit
commences blackenng and rottens. some
times destroying whole punches A
cheap and reliable re "cdy is simply t"
sprinkle lime dust on the vine in the
morning. when they confluence blossom
ing. The vines trimmed high are less
liable to the injury of the bugs than
those trimmed close to the ground

A few martin boxes, in the vicinity of
the poultry yard or farm house, if occu-

TALKING AND WRITING.

A man never knows what he has read until
he has either talked about it or written about
it. Talking and writing are digestive pro-
cesses which are absolutely essential to the
mental constitution of the man who deyours
many books. But it is not every man that
can talk. Talking impios first of all a read
mess on the part of the speaker, and next a
sympathetic listener. 1t is therefore, a d-
gestive process, the most difficult, if it is the
most rapid in its operation.
Writing is different afair-a man may
take his own time to it, and not require a
reader--hc can be his own reader II is an
easier. although more formal process Of di-
gestion than talking, 1t is in eyerybody's
power-and everybody who reads much makes
more or less use of it, because as Bacon says,
if he does not write then he ought to have
extraordinary faculties to compensate for
such neglect. IL is in this view that we are
TO understand the complaint of a well known
author, that he was ignorant of certain sub
joct, and the means by which he was to dispcl
his ignoranco-namely by writing on it.
II is in this view that the monitorial sys-
tenn Of instruction has its great yalue--to the
monitors it is the best sort Of teaching. 1t
is from the same point Of view that Sir Will
liam Hamilton used to lamont the decay Of
teaching as part of tho education Of stu
dents at the universities. In the olden time
it was necessary to the obtaining Of a degree
that the eradicate should give evidence Of his
capacity as tsacher and in the very titles
of his degree as a magister and doctor, he
was designated as a teacher. A man never
knows anything, Sir William used to say, un-
I'll he has taught it in some way or other-it
me be orally, II may be by writing book
1t is a grand truth, and points fine moral.
knowledge is knowledge, say the philoso-
pliers it is precious for its own sake-it is
an end to itself But nature says the oppo-
site. knowledge is not knowledge until we
use it. 1t is not ours until brought under
the command Of the great social faculty,
spoech--we exist for society, and knowledge
is null until we give it expression, and in so
doing make it over to the social instinct
Bidckipood.
