FAN Management OF Grape Vines.

The month Of November, after the lrarrs
have fallen Oft, is the best time to prans
vines. There is no difference Of opinion at
all on this point with expcrierced grare
growers, and it must he done in the fall to
succeed well in grape culture.
The principle should be fully understood,
the fruit of next year is 10 grow from canes
Of hi, seasons gro,ph. Not one person III
four who has grape vines on his premises
seems to understand this important fact
They have read about it in the agricultural
papers, but they paid little attention to it,
and seldom or never acted upon it in pruning
their vines.
Select the best canes of this year for the
next truiting season, and cut out all the Old
wood, provided you have new wood eno!lsli
that grows ont near the base of the vine
If the new wood consists of latsrais, (that is,
the side cameo or shoots of old wood,) you
should simply leave enough of these lacla!s
to bear fair crop next year. and cut back
all the rest to one eye. The true sysfein is
to cut back every other shoot, SO that the
new wood of nert year may be produced

back. This is the rene,rnl system, which is
practiced ss well upon the side spurs and
canes as on those that grow from the base Of
the vine.
1t matters not how you train your vines,
whether to trcllises. stakes or otherwise,
this renewal system must be adopted In
pruning, because no cane, shoot or spur
crsr bears fruit but one season.
The month of November is also the time
to gather cuttings to- set in tho following

CANARIEs. Rather more than three hun
dred years ago, ship partly laden with little
green birds captured in the Canary Islands.
having been wrecked near Elba, the birds
made their escape. flew to the island and
there settled themselves Numbers Of them
were caught by the inhabitants. and on
account of their sprightly vivacity and the
briiliancy of their voice they soon became
great favorites, and rapidly spread over
Europe. The original color of tue canary is
not the bright yellow with which its feathers
are generally tinted, but kind of dapped
"livp-green. black and yellow. cithor color
pred"minating according to circumstances
BY careful management, the bird fanciers are
able to procure canaries of every tint between
the three coors. having instituted set Of
rules by which the quality and arrangement of
the coloring is reduced to a regular system
Still the original dappled green is always apt
to make its appearance; and even when two
colofcd birds are mated, green one is pretty
sure to be found in the nest. For my own
part care little for the artificial varieties
produced by the fanciers; and to my mind
an intelligent bird and good songster is not
one whit the less attractive because the colofs
OF its plnmage are not arranged precisely
according to the fanciers rules.
