GRAPE VINE FENCE. a letter from
from DR.. Schroeder, Of Bloomington, ILL.,,
the celebrated grape cultivator, he says -
1.-The best living fence is made of grape
vines. Prepare your soil and plant your
grave vine cuttings six inches apart on tn.
line Of the intended fence. Cut back next
fall to one or two eyes. The succeeding
fall thin out the plants to one foot apart,
and cut back to fifteen inches, and the third
year you begin to fix your fence like wire
work. The fourth year raise three feet
more OF the vine and braid it together as
you did, the third year, and your fence is
done. Grapes must be gathered when ripe.
BE sure to have barrels enough for the
wine. Have machine made to trim the
fence every fall, and trim in summer in
June and August. This kind of fence
viii pay, give one pleasure, and every man
wants it."

The CHECK OR BEARING REIN Herbert.
IN his Hints to Horse.Keepe.s," thus
strongly condemns the use of the check
rein: 1.-THE check, or bearing rein, is anoth
er understandable mistake in harness inven.
ton. While it holds the horses head in
IN unnatural, ungraceful, and uncomftrta.
ole position, it gives the mouth callous.
horny character, and entirely DESTROYS ali
chance for fine driving. The check rein is
considered valuable, especially to prevent
horses from grazing, or from lowering the
head. The same end may be equally at.
tanned BY substituting simple bride rein,
to be fastened to the saddle without pass.

Tying UT WooL.-A correspondent Of
the Albany Cultivator furnishes the follow.
ing description of his method Of tying
wool heeces, and of the box used for that
purpose. tits nothing new, but may be Of
service to some:
Make square box say two feet high
eighteen inches square at the bottom, with
gradual sloping increase to the top, max.
ing it twenty-five by twenty -four inches at
the latter-have it we'll dove. tailed toeeth
er-Eo top or bottom. On the top, midway
Of each side, saw down three or four inches;
IN these cuts place two strings reaching to
the bottom, (Which should sit on a smooth
surface) crossing each other at right angles
on the bottom, the ends hanging over on
The outside sufficiently to tie. when the
fleece is completely rolled up, place it in
the box, step into it with your feet, press
ing 1t down; then bring out Of the cuts the
ends Ut the Irvine and fasten across the
fleece each way. Tura the box upside
down and press out the fleece. 1t will
come out square and compact, and will no.
need more winding to keep it in shape, if
properly handled.

The VEGETABLE GAnDEN.-A good veg
etabl garden is necessity for the farmer.
and without it, no matter what NAV be the
condition of his finances, he cannot have
even respectable living for all his care and
toll. Those who live in cities or villages
have access to market, and in this way
manage to obtain an apology for a supply
OF vegetables, but the farmer is thrown
entirely upon his own resources. And
yet, not one in hundred has a vegetable
garden worthy of the name. For this there
are several reasons. The first is the force
OF bad habits; the second, want of time,
and it must be admitted that in the season
Of culture and growth our farmers work
hard enough, and it is difficult to spare
even day for the vegetable garden. For
those who can obtain help this is no OK.
cuse, for it is for the interest of the farmer
to employ all the help he can possibly use
with profit. The third reason is want OF
knowledge. 1t does require some knowl-
edge to grow vegetables as they should be
grown and yet, no acre on the farm will
furnish the farmer more comfort and profit
than that acre fol the vegetable garden.

The lBEsT BEAUTY CONES UNsouGur.-
Perhaps the short, hasty gaze, cast up any
day in the midst Of business, in a cense
city, at the heavens, or at a bit of a tree
seen amid buildings-gazes which partake
am ct more OF a sign than look-have
~ them more Of intense appreciation Of
the beauties OF nature than all that has
been left by unequal number of sight scers,
enjoying large opportunities Of seeing, and
oil their time to themselves. Like praye,
offered up in the midst Of everyday life,
these short, fond gazcs at nature have
something inconceivably soothing and
beautiful in thcm.-H esps.

a writer in the Germantown Telegraph
condemns the practice Of whitcwashing
fruit trees. He says:
The practice Of coating the bark Of fruit
and ornamental trees with whitewash, is
one that cannot be too severely deprecated.
The obstruction Of the pcrspiratory organs
and orifces Of the trunk, whether effected
by the application Of whitewash or any
other adhesive material, always acts as q
fruitful source Of disease, and in time,
proves fatal to the tree. When the bark
becomeA rough or incrusted with moss, it
should Be cleansed by scraping and wash
ing down thoroughly with solution of
potash or soda in water, afford;ng smooth.
ness to the surface, without obstruc!ing
the pores.

Accomplishment.

The class Of arts which are popularity
termed "accomplishments,' are Of con.
siderably less than no value at all, unless
the pupil reaches degree of excellence
in them such as to render them worthy OF
the name. Young ladies' who speak
French badly, draw vilainous designs, or
LEARN to force by nnlclenting knoeks
Reluctant music from atortured box"
are not accomplished" in music, paint
ing, or French; and for any purpose of
ornament or polish, might as we'll have
neglected them altogether. Indeed, the
lady that can do none Of these things has
the advantage Of her who does them all
badly-thc latter having simply added By
education to the number OF bes natural
imperlectiona. Accordingly, one who has
no natural talent for Accomplishments
or wants time or money to become prof.
cient in them altogether, in favor Of those
sold attaiaments which nobody can afford
TO dispense with, and cf which even lit
tie; i far better than no knowledge et oil.
