sarE1n About Grapes.

It is a question of no little Importance
at this time as to what are capacities of
grape vines to produce, /. e. how much
weight of fruit may be grown yearly
without injury to the vines Connected
with this comes the question of how
much wood may be left on the vine, and
how far apart they should stand, in or
der to produce to the best advantage.
Heretofore vignerons have as a general
thing discountenanced extra large yields,
and when vines have set extra large num-
bers of punches, they have advised their
being trimmed off. Their reasons for
this course have been that the too great
crop of one year would so exhaust the
vine as to render it unproductive another
season, or so enfeebled as to produce dis
ease IN the vine. These reasons have ap-'
parently been sustained by results in cul-
ture, one yigneron having made some
one year, and then only rom one hun
dredand fifty to two hundred gallons for.
two or three years thereafter.
Again, results on single vines have
zone to sustain a belief that the vine will
produce without injury to its future con-
dltion, just as many punches as it will
mature. These results are found in
many private gardens where enc vine only
is grown and trained high on t~rellises
anu ONCA 4OOA6 VI AS6L Uu1AQluk6. In
stances of eight hundred to one thou
sand lunches to a vine are not unusual,
and the same continued from year To-
year; and one case is recorded where the
vine covered an arbor thirty by thirty
feet, and produced from four to five
thousand lunches.
In vineyard culture, when the plants
are eight by ten feet, we have, as we write,
recollection of one where nearly seven
toni per acre have been grown and well
ripened for ten years past, and no ap-
peaEanoa as yet of the vine being enfee-
bled or in any manner exhausted. 9th
er vineyards also come to cur memory
where crops Of over five and half tons
TO the acre have been gathered yearly
In some Of these they are six by eight
apart, in others eight by eight.
Looking upon these different items. IL
beeonaas at this time, when SO much land
Is being planted with grape vines is a We
~ grave question as to what distance is
best to leave between each plant, and
how much wood may be left from year to |
year, with promise Of the best results.

used. 1t is pure and pleasant; no bad effects like when
using Bourbon whisky, which disorders, the stomach,
torpors the liver, locks up all secretions, turns tho
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient dies
suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is nowadays by al.
most every physician. Many patients that visit my
rooms, both male and female, are stupeied with this
poison. The relief is temporary. If they cough they
take a little whisky if they feel weak and feeble they
take a little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take a
more and more until they are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting feshy. The stomach, liver, and df-
gestiye powers are completely destroyed, and lose
their appetite for food. No one was ever cured Of
consumption-by this process where cavities have been
formed in the lungs. A little stimulant is frequently
beneficial to consumptlves, such as pure brandy or
good wines; in many cases London porter or sout in
moderate Quantities; but Bourbon whisky hastens on
instead Of curing consumption,

The History Of DR.. senenot's own Case, and how
he was cured Of consumptio.

Many years ago, whilst residing in PHILADELPHIA
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull.
monary consumption All hopes OF my recovery be-
ing d~issipated I was advised by my physician, DIR.
Parrish. to remove into the country. MOOrestown. N.
- being my native place, I was removed thither. My
Iatnor ana az ms family had lived and died there
and died of Pulmonary Consumption. On nv arrival

was deemed a hopeless condition. DR.. Thornton, who
had been my fathers family physician, and had at
tended him in his last illness, was called to see me
he thought my case entirely beyond the reach of med
icine, and decided that 1 must die, and gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this appar-
antly hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies I now
make and sell. It seemed to me that 1 could feel them
WoTking thlr way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre
and tissue of my system.
My lungs and liver put on a new action, and the NOR
pa matter which Tor years had accumulated ard irri-
tated the dlHerent organs of the body. was eliminated,
the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and 1 expectorated
from my lungs as much as a pint Of yellow offensive
ter subsidized, the fever abated, the pain left me, the
cough ceased to haEass me, and the exhaustlng night
sweats were no longer known, and had refreshing
sleep, to which 1 had long been a stranger. NV apDe.
ute now began to return, and at times l found it diff
cult to restrain myself from eating too much: with this
return of health, l gained In strength, and now am
cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the right lung and the
lower lobe he patized with complete adhesion of Inc
the right one is in a tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought an incurable
disease, by every one, physicians as well as those who
were unlearned IN medicne-espeeialy such cases as
were reduced to the condition 1 was in. This induced
many people to believe my recovery only temporary.
Inow prepared and gave the medicines to consump-
tives for some time, and made many wonderful cures.

ed to offer Thorn to the public and devote my undivid-
cd attention to lung diseases. In truth, 1 was next 10
forced to 1t, for people would send for me far and near
to ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
For many years., in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia Ihave been making regular pro-
fessional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore and
%Pittsburg.
For several years past 1 have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly with the 'tRespirome-

Much has been said about sailing hay
by different writer's, and many think that
hay is as we'll and sven better without
salt, We have not put y lock of hay In
our barns for some twenty wears without
applying about six quarts Of salt to each
ton of hay, which is about the amount
required by stock in the consumation of
a ton of hay. The result has always been
that our hay was bright and as fra
grant as tea, and never had a lock of
musty hay. During haying last year. our
hay was cut, cured and got in the barn
without a drop of rain on it, and thought
it in such good condition we would omit
the salt, and so we did, and what was the
result Well, we have not used a lock
of hay in the barns but what is more or
less musty. For twenty years we sailed
orr hay and had the best of hay; and one
year we omitted the salt and had the
poorest hay. Hence the above remarks
are predieated on one years experience,

ReTidL Diseases, LiUeT Complaints, and Heart Diseases.
Try AYERS SARsAPABILLA, and see for yourself the sur
prising activity with which it cleanses the blood and
cures these disorders.
During late years the public has been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart Of Extract Of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most Of these have been
frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little,
if any Sarsaparila, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence, bitter disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
food the market, until the name itself has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this compound sSaTsaparilla, - and intend to supply
such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load
of obloqay which rests upon it. We think we have
ground for believing it has virtues which are irresisti-
bic by the ordinary run Of the diseases it is intended
to cure. We can only assure the sick that We offer
them the best Alternative which we know how to FRO
duce and we have reason to believe it is by far the
mos %efeetual purifier Of the blood yet discovered by
anybody.
AYERS CHERRY PEcroB1r is 50 universally known to
surpass every other remedy for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Group, Bronchitis, Incip-
lent Consumption, and for the relief of ~ptve
patients in advanced stages OF the disease, that it is
useless to recount the evidence of its virtues. The
