Grape Culture.

We give below another interesting contIl-
button to the san Francisco Morning Call
from Lieut. Porter, u. S. Navy, on the subject
OF grape culture:
Amy kind of wild grape can be improved
by cultivation and grating, and from nall' e
grapes the best of wines are made. ne
pollen of grape flower is very susceptible oil

gle lettuce cabbage, or Il barbary plant Will,
if allowed to flower near vineyard, lnJure
the whole crop if not covering large space
High winds are particularly obnoxious to the
vine; their sap runs free y, and in large guam
titles a single vine will, if bruised, bleed
pint during a night, and it will therefore he
seen how essential it is to protect the vines
from hgh winds. would suggest, where
the sides Of hills could be found, or even
where these hll-sides are exposed TO winds,
that rows Of trees with bushy and close
foliage he planted to the wirdward OF the
vineyard most generally strong winds pre-
vail from certain steady points, ana the prop
er position for these hedges can always be as
cartained. Few plants require light heat
and moisture Of equal temperament ana guam
titles than grape vines, and an equal climate
is favorable to the success OF the vine FOR
wine purposes Il moderate light is only re
quired, too much humidity produces the par
asitical fungus, called rust. This is easily de-
tectcd and when detected the grape should
be at once pulled, a it would be better TO
lose half than the whole crop. Another enc
my to the vine is a moth they lay their eggs
in clusters beneath the leaf and when the
larve comes forth they eat yoraciousIy, and
grow to a large size. They are large worm or
hairless caterpller about four inches long, OF
green appearance, light brown spots along
the sides, with horn sticking ont near the
tail Cultivators wishing to find the moth,
can do so by taking one Of these larya, pIac-
ing it in room, feeding ii with grape leaves

The vine should he trimmed before the sap
runs, in cold localities in the beginning of
March, aud in warm localities much earlier.
For wine, the grape requires all the juice
that the vine can yield, and the bleeding of
the vine should be avoided. Old vines pro-
duce the best grapes for wine, as the grare
generally grows from the new made wood.
The stock Of an old vine sends up and sup
plies the grape with abundance of Juice Age
