The VALUE OF PURE WINE IN SICK
NEss.-Few people are aware of the ben

Guilty with reliable wines has been their
scarcity and exorbitant price, but this
has been removed by the introduction OF
a pure native wine known as the Sam
burg Port, extensively cultivated by Mr..
A. Speer of New Jersey. We understand
he has submitted his wine to the test of
many of our celebrated physicians. and
all concur in its purity, medicinal prop
critics, and superiority to the best Port

Thinning Plants.

There Is no error, among farmers, more
common than that Of leaving plants stand.
ing too closely together. An acre Of land
planted with corn at regular distances will
yield more grain with three, or at most, four
stalks in the hill, than il will with five
that is, il tho hills aro at usual distances
from each other. "Crowding plants is like
overstocking pasture, or endeayoring N
make fat animals from halt rations Of food.
II is dividing among many that food which
is required to perfect one. 1t, moreover,
tends to exclude light, heat, and free cir
culation OF air. essential to the development
of vegetables. and the perfection Of their
growth. Hence, a moderate number OF
plants will give u. better product than great
many, upon the same ground, in crowded
situation"
Turnips usually stand too thickly. Car.
rots should be six inches apart, bcets eight
or ten parsnips about the same, and man
gold wurtzels one foot. CSbbages are often
much crowded, and so are tomatoes and
many other plants. Better thin them out at
u lato season than not at all. Feed out the
fresh plants to tho various kinds Of stock

Jack nodded once, shortly and dccisivcly.
There was no doubt about tho matter, not a

"Why do you love Him?"
Jack was quite silent. His little ordinary
features moved in singular way; his eyes
twinkled; his breast heavcd. All at once
he dropped his head on tho table, sobbing
rs il his heart would break. "'Cause thcy
killed him." gasped poor jack.
II was with some difficulty the gentleman

Important to Gardeners.

A gardener having occasion to newly paint
the woodwork in the interior Of his green
house. determined to try the theory OF the
absorption OF heat by black color, with a
view Of prompting the maturity OF his
plants and shrubs by means Of n greater
quantity Of caloric. In tho preparation OF
black paint ho used coal tar. This coal tar.
besides tho advantage Of its color, offers con.
siderable economy in painting, being about
one-eighth the price Of the material general
ly used in mixing black paint. The paint
ing here in question was executed before the
setting in Of winter. On the return Of
spring. the gardener observed with no less
surprise than satisfaction, that the spiders
and other insects which had infested his
greenhouse, had totally disappeared. He.
moreover, remarked that vine, trained on
an espalicr, which, for the space OF two
years, had been scnsibly decaying, and which
he had purposed to uproot for the purpose OF
planting another In its place, had acquired
such new health and vigor as to bc capable
of producing excellent table grapes. Hav-
ing applied his new paint to tho props and
trelliscs Of all his sickly trees and shrubs. as
we'll rs those which, though in full bloom,
wero being devoured by insects, success again
crowned his experiments. Caterpillars and
snails disappeared us rapidly as the insects
had vanished from the greenhouse. The
fruits produced by the trees thus treated
have elected the approval and euloSy Of pur-
chssers. -st
Similar experiments tried on the vineyards
OF the Gironde, have, it is said, been attend

Mulching.

Did you ever liz board from the ground
in warm weather? If so, you have noticed
that the ground was moist, no matter how
severe the drought. This is mulching. But
the keeping the ground moist is not the only
benefit of mulch. The moisture deposited
beneath the mulch is the warm mir coming
in contact with the cool ground. This air
always contains more or less fertilizers in the
form Of vapor. And this vapor is arrested
by cold air coming in contact with warmer.
Everybody can sec il they will that a piece
Of land kept covered instead of bare will in
crease in fertility, while piece left naked
will continually grow poorer. If farmer
leave q covering Of grass upon the ground
during tho winter, he will find it will pay
him we'll in the increase Of the crop, while
the naked ground Is liable to lose not only
what grass there is by winter.killing. but
less and less grass will grow where it is all
fed of close in the fall.
An apple tree will be made to grow and
bear fruit, simply by covering the ground
with stones around the roots. And l have
seen grapes growing out of a pile OF stones.
loaded with fruit. The stone heap acting rs
mulch, and keeping the ground ut an even
temperature, which is 50 essential in grow.
