GRATING THE GRAPE.-fn the FEB
ruary number of the Genessee Farmer,
the following article appears:
As early in the spring as the ground
can be got away from the stock to be
grated upon, clean away the stem two or
three inches deep, saw or cut off the vine
smooth then prepare youc graft, (Which
should have been cut from the vine In the
early part Of the winter.)
If your stock is thick, say one inch or
more In diameter, cut out a wedge, to cor
respond with the wedge OF the graft if
the stock be less than three-fourths of an
inch in diameter, then merely split down
clean, as in the usual way CT cleft graft
lug, but if the graft be not held firmly, it
is well to tie around the split with bit of
mating or strong thread, which will rot
off before doing any damage. When you
have inserted the graft, draw the earth in
and press firmly around the joint where
operated upon, and up to and barely eX-
posing the bud, filling in with dry mould
If the earth be wet. Use no cement what
ever; believe it is great evil,
Be sure to cover your graft with loose
straw or some kind of rubbish that will
not pack tight; this is to keep the frost
from hosting out the graft, in ease freez-
ing occurs afterwarG, which frequently is
the case, as | have grated in February
sometimes, as well as to shade the bud and
keep the air eff somewhat necessary
precautiou. When the graft begins to
grow, the natural or stock suckers must be
kept down or they will soon rob the graft
/ have usually succeeded in this way
For root grating in the house, my best
success has been obtained when done in
the saddle mode And this done late in
the spring, when the vines begin to grow.
One important part has almost been
overlooked. You must select stocks Of as
near similar wood for instance, the Della
ware will hardly take at all on rank fox,
while upon the Clinton and our wild frost
grape it takes very freely. Almost any
kind will take upon the Isabella.

CoAL ASHEs.-Coal ashes are stated,
by some who have tried experiments with
them, to be excellent for putting around
the roots of peach trees and gooseberry
bushes IN the spring. They are generally
held to be of no use whatever, but as they
contain some traces of potash and consid-
cradle lime, they viii no doubt tend to
destroy gru5s and worms.

A MORNING PAPER thinks the Confcdcratcs
north should adopt the white feather as their
emblem, instead OF the white flag.
White is the typical color Of purity and of
heaven. There was never another such atrocious
instance OF stealing the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in, as the adoption of tho white
flag by the confedcrates Of treason to gull the
defenders Of their country, AMI shield the asDls-
sins while delivering their deadly fire. 1t is an
enlarged and systematic repetition Of the white
flag tactics Of the rebels at Bull Run.
The black flag ofpiracy AMI rebellion cannot
well be advanced north-it would tcrrify the
peace" people, not into lighting, but into con.
senting that somebody should fight for them.
SO the black flag is kept back, and tho white
flag Is put forward by the trcachcrous janilarcs
Of JEFF. DAVIS, who are ready at a moment b
notice to enroll the pirate ensign and deal out
fire and sword to the supporters of the Union in
their northern homes.
