AGRICULTURAL.
Summer Pruning of Grape vinos,

AT a meeting of the Grape and Wine
Growers Association of Northern Ohio, on
the cath ult., Charles Carpenter, of Kelley's
Island, gave the following as his method Of
Summer Pruning:
1.-THE many directions given for summer
pruning grape vines are enough to bewilder
the novice, if not those of some experience,
and hope, in attempting to elucidatc,
shall not farther mystify the subject. As
general rule, prune as little in summer as
you can, and not let the vines get so thick
as to cause any of the leaves in the thickest
places to turn yellow, or deprive the fruit OF
plenty of light and air. The winter pruning
should be more severe than is usually done.
The vineyard culture, where forty or forty
five superficial feet of land are allowed to
vine, from thirty to forty eyes to vine for
bearing are plenty for most varieties. Never
leave over one bud or Joint per surface foot
of land where the soil is favorable; and
where it is unfavorablc, the vines should he
planted farther apart, and a less number of
eyes for given surface left.
Now if the winter pruning has been
properly done, but little will be necessary in
summer, and should commence early 10y
removing water sprouts, superfuous buds,
and whenever from short jointed canes, or
too close training of them, there will ovi-
IDENTIFY be too dense q mass when grown,
| thin out part.
"As soon as the fruit is set, select the
shoots for the next years bearing, which
should be grown on spurs, on the lower part
of the stock, and trained as much rs practi-
cable aside from the fruit and above it, and
have the laterals picked out for three or four
feet, so rs to have q clean cane for the next
year, and keep the vine open near the fruit
Beyond this, remove no laterals, nor stop
the ends of their canes.
"Some of the frut-bearing shoots, parti-
| Cularly those near the ends OF the canes, will
incline to make too much growth these
may be stopped at from three to six leaves
from the last cluster of fruit. OF the fruit
hearing shoots, except those near the ends OF
the cane, but few will need stopping, ifther,
is full crop OF fruit, and proper attention
Is given to ticing up 50 as to keep tn,
growth spread and open. Always cndcavol
to prevent growth by stopping ends anc
removing buds, rather than to cut away
, after the growth is made.
'ln all summer pruning and ticing up
! ! care should he taken that fruit grown in tn,
shade, should not be exposed to the direc
rays OF the sun. If the shade under whicl
it has been growing is removed, it will surcl,
! be injured if not spoiled
THE best grapes are always grown in thu
shade of the foliage. They require ligh
and circulation Of air. Those grown undc
the direct rays Of the gun are smaller, hardc
pulpcd, and inferior TO those grown wher
they have considerable protection

new receipt for making soap-new at least
to us--and as we have had such good sue
cess, | thought it would be well to send YOU
the modus Opernadi for the uousekecper's
department In your paper
Pour four gallons OF boiling water over
six pounds otwashinG soda and threcpounds
of unslacked lime; stir the mixture well and
let it settle until it is perfectly clear. 1t is
better to let it set all night as it takes some
time for the sediment to settle When clear,
drain the water or, put six pounds Of fat
with it, and boil for two hours, stirring it
most of the time. fit docs not seem thin
enough, put another bucket of water on the
grounds, stir and drain off, and add as is
wanted TO the boiling mixture. Its thick
ness can be tried by putting a little on
plate to cool occasionally. Stir in handful
otsalt just before taking off the fire. Have
tub ready to prevent the soap from sticking
pour it in and let it set till solid, when you
will have from the above quantity of ingre-
dients, about forty pounds of nice white
soap, at cost of about two cents per
