Grating tile asrapc.

Therc has been printed from time 70 time.
/ in our columns, very valuable Information
on the subject of grating the grape, from
our friends and correspondents, Mr.. J. b.
CARRIER, of Lancaster county, and Mr.. Sam
uel Miller, OF Lebanon county, both which
gentlemen have had large experience in the
business. No one WHO Las read the result
of their operations can for a moment doubt
the superiority of grating the grape, where
the stocks are on hand, to planting the
vines. And as the best season is again at
hand when this process may he pursued, we
give below the modRs otsraadi Of the geu-
tlemen above named.

this way sometimes have three or a half a

the latter case the gratis must be kept back,

BORING FOR On AT FRANKLIN.--TLe
decrease in the supply Of oil along the valley
of Oil Creek, has caused capitalists and
producers to turn their attention 10 the oil
terri tory about Franklin, which had been IN
Il great measure abandoned in consequence
Of :he unprecedented yield of the great
flowing wells opened from time to time
upon the Oil Creek territory. \ number OF
gentlemen doing business at Franklin, have
associated with them some New York and
Philadelphia capitalists, and have formed q
co-partnership known as the "Pennsylvania
Petroleum Company" for the purpose of
producing OIL They have purchased Il
large tract of land on the river, a short
distance above Franklin, and have ordered
engines for the purpose OF sinking eigh; or
ten new wells. They have already tubed
an cid well, bored some time since, which
commenced TO flow with such force as to
start the seed bag and let down the tubing.
IL threw quite quantity OF clear oil. en-
tircy free from water, into the tank, and
over on the ground, and gave very promis-
ing indications that it would, when properly
tubed, make large flowing well. They
are retubihg it anG have on the ground Il
tine large engine. The lands purchased
were secured at high price, it being the
belief of the company that wells equal to
the best on Oil Creek, anil much more
durable, can be obtained by boring to Il
sufficient depth. The result of this enter
prise will be awaited with great interest.

Mr.. DUvnL, machinist, formerly of

CLOVER HAY FoR HoBsEs.-Dr. Mcclure
is one Of the leading veterinary surgeons of
Philadelphia, and we may add, of the

any matter connected with the food and
health of the horse, can be quoted with
confidence. In IL recent article in the Cult,s-

now prevailing among the horses OF this

BLANKETING Houses III WINrER.--Th
is often wrongly done. When the horse
becomes heated by hard labor and long
travelling, the blanket is thrown on his back
nt once, the vapor stenms up from his hot
sides, becomes condensed and vets the
blanket, and as the horse continues to cool
the cold and wet covering is of little use.
A better way is to allow the animal to stand
uncoFcred for few inmates, "a longer or
shorter period, according TO ciroumstances,)
until cooled down TO about the ordinary
temperature, but not in any degree towards
chilliness then throw on the dry blanket
