The Ladies' REFORM pres. Movement


An association Of ladies In Washington, Of
the frst distinct on, has been formed for the
purpose Of discouraging the use Of imported
articles of female apparel, by refusing to pur
chase any such foreign fabrics for three. years,
OF during the war. The primary Object We un
gold and in the second place, to promote habit,
OF economy. We have no expectation that as
a financial measure, the results will be very
much but as an economical movement, Il is a
step in the right direction. The profuseness,
not to say extravaganza, Of American women,
as compared with those Of the same class ia
Europe, is 4 standing topic Of remark with
foreign travellers, aud 40 doab, with much
truth. But women are not responsible for al
the extravaganza in the community. Let the
men set the example OF economy. Mr.. J. n.
Howard, Of Detroit Ia a note ia the Advertiser
has timely suggestion on this point. She
says:
Il most heartily endorse the Object aud feel
that every loyal woman will Willingly make
tie sacrifice for her country iu this time OF her

solve the glue in the five gallons OF
water, then pour altogether and strain
it, Keeping the mixture hot all the
time you are using it. Keep it shut
several days. ] II you want to color,
do sos with any except green. This
makes a very good lime paint. For
colored lime paint, common glue win
answer, it being cheaper than white
glue. t- JOHNSON.

ON THE CULTURE OF THE
GRAPE.

ON THE CULTURE OF THE
y-~u GRAPE. p
Mr.. EDrreR: / giveyousmy mode
ofplanting and pruning grape vines:
My grapes have Inatured and ripened
well, and free from rot. My mode
of setting is to make very large holes
and fill them up with q compost OF
well decomposed manure, with equal
parts of leaf mould from the woods.
Chip soil from the wood yard well
rotted, is good soil for the grape
The next point is thorough cultiva-
ton. The most essential point is
pruning. There are several modes
of pruning. ] give mine: In the
first place 1 train my vines on trel-
hses, and prune on what is called the
renewal system. Some time during
February in each year, I cut all the
latterals back to one bud, and let
new wood grow TO form the grapes.
When the punches are well formed
in June, 1 nip the Lateral off some
two or three joints beyond the
bunch, and prune off all suckers that
are growing. Beware not to strip
away leaves. If your vines were
properly trimmed last fall, or early
in spring, all you need do during
summer is to keep the suckers all
pruned off. A mass of suckers must
not be allowed to shoot up from the
central part of the vine, everything
and smothering the fruit bearing
canes. Three or four shoots are al
lowed to grow from every joint where
one is enough. The vigor of the
vine should be concentrated into
those canes which grow where they
are wanted-not diffused and wasted
in a wild, ungoverned growth of use
less wood. The canes should be dis
tributed, equally over the trellis, ty
ing them in as they grow, and nip
ping of the extremities when they
have exceeded proper bounds
Probably it is the growing conviction
of our vine-loying readers, as it cer-
tainly is mine, that the renewal mode
of training grapes, ON the whole, is
the best. The best native grapes for
cultivation, in my estimation, for the
table, are the Delaware, Hartford
Prolific, Concord, Diana, Clinton,
Isabella; for wine, Catawba and Clin-
ton,Y there are "a great many newer
varieties promising well, but not suf-
ficiently tested for general cultiva-
ton. Iwould advise every person
that owns ground, to try few of
those grapes this spring. If you don't
know where to purchase them, ex-
anime the advertising columns of the
Gallipohs Journal.
