SUMMER PRUNING.

AGRICULTURE is now getting to be rccog-
nized as tho commanding interest of the
state; so it must ever be as lying at the
foundation of all others. Few persons are
apprized of their obligations to agriculture
and it is difficult to estimate the extent Of
these obligations. Every mans daily bread
his meat, his clothing, his shelter, his lux.
urios, all come from the earth. The foun.
dation, or, as the French would say, the
material of all commerce and manufactures
is agriculture and its moral influences are
innumerable and most powerful. 1t will be
found likewise, upon an observation of the
different conditions of different nations ol
communities, that laborious agriculture is
in high degree, conservator of good NOR
ais and that those countries are, upon tho
whole, and on this account, most blessed
not where the fruits Of the earth arc yielded
spontaneously without care and without toll
but whore its products come only as the re
ward Of industry, and the powers of thu
mind, as well rs the labor of the hand, ar,
severely taxed in struggle for the means
of subsistence and comfort. Every one re
cognizeslab as the source of wealth. How
few things have any value, which have no
been either produced or modified by labor
and in what department is labor so produc
tive, 80 essential, and so important as in ag
riculture ?--[Colman's Agriculture and Ru
raj Economy.

The two middle shoots or canes are suf-

outside shoots should be secured in the line,

PLANTING THE VINES.

The best vines are usually propagated
from layers. These, if well grown, are best
when but Of one seasons growth. Vines
propagatsd from single eyes or from cuttings
do not make 80 strong growth, yet these
are mostly planted at one year old
In planting Two assume that the border
has beenw well prepared, and the compost fine
and thoroughly mixed, hole is to be dug
sufficiently wide to receive the roots well
spread out in their natural position, and ten
OF twelve inches deep. In the centre of this
hole raise mound, or cone, up to within
three or six inches of the surface Place the
plant upon the top of this cone, so that the
upper roots shall be from two to three inches
below the surface, then divide and spread
out the longest lower roots over the top OF
the mound, and slightly cover with soil
and then divide another tier of roots, and
cover In tho same way, 80 that no two roots
shall come in contact with each other; then
hn 70 the surface, and gently tread the
earth down, beginning at the outside Of the
hob and finishing toward the vine.

PREPARING THE GROUND.

Even for single vine, bed or border
should be provided, of rich, well prepared
soil But where number Of vines are to be
planted with the view to train them to q
trcllis, well trained border Of not less than
ten feet wide and eighteen inches deep
should be prepared. In preparing the bor-
der the ground should be regularly trcnched,
and, ns we have said, not less than eighteen
inches deep. This is done by opening a
trench say two feet wide, to the depth des-
ignated, and this is filed with the soil taken
from the next trench, usually putting the
surface soil at the bottom. IF the sub-sol
Is poor, it should be thrown out and carted
away, and its place filled with good, rich
soil, composed of dccayed turf, well rottcd
stable mantpe, bones, etc, so that the en-
tire depth trenched shall be filled with soil
sufficiently rich to grow any garden crop
We have observed that many persons who
have undertaken trenching for vines, etc.
have merely inverted the earth and soil,
placing the surface soil at the bottom of the
trench and the sub-soil upon top, and plant
Cd their vines in this way. Unless the sur.
fhce soil is also made rich, and even to the
bottom Of the trench, it will be labor lost.

our men wounded. The torch was applied to
Hampton by the Virginia troops and lIamptoni-
ans.
FCf three days Magruder offered battle in font
of Newport News, showing himself plainly to the
enemy, who refused to como out, though twice
our number. Our camp was within two miles of
the cnemy's cntrenchmcnts and in sight of the
ships. where they could have shclled us, but not
the slightest demonstration WAS made. We could
