apart in rows of eight feet. The growing
plants are trellised on iron wire stretched
between cedar posts.
The best cultivators have abandoned tn,
old mode Of close pruning, so much il
vogue in European countries and followed il
many places in the United States. They say
that large growth of wood is needed here
The old method of trenching the ground ba,
been abandoned as it seems to iniure the
vines.
We are informed that the whole eostofit.
ting the ground, setting the plants, trellisino
and cultivating until the vines are in bearino
Is about $500 per acre. The treIlisinp costs
about Sl30 per acre. There was consumed
on the island this season I5 tons of No Q
telegraph wire, and it is estimated that
twice that quantity will be needed next year
It is estimated that one man will cultivate
three acres, calculating his labor for the en-
tire year. -r.H
Inc maximum returns per acre is given rs
as 81, 100. Mr. Carpenter for one year rea-
llzed that amount from an acre, but the vines
have never fruited well since. The AVERAGE
yield is 5000. The price of grapes and Of
the fresh juice is growing less each wear,
Principally because many wish to realize
their money, so as to enable them to Dlant q
larger breadth ofvines. Grapes sold last year
IN the vineyards at &c per pound, and the
juice for trom 90c to 81 per gallon. Land
on the island is valued at from 500 to 5000
per acre.
What they will soon need on the island is
a well constructed wine cellar, where their
wines can be properly kept until they are
well maturod. But IN this particular thew
are soon to be well provided for, Mr., Car |
penter has cellar now in process of con-
5truction, which, when completed, will not
be excelled, In some particulars, by anything
N this country, and so far as We know, in the
world.
By excaVating the southern slope of the
sland several extensive quarries Of stone have
