PREMIUM LIsT.-The List of Pre-
miums offered by the Grant County
Agrieultura, Society, as revised by the
Executive committee, appears in the
HERALD. Also, pamphlet copies OF
the same may be had of the Secreta-
~, j. w. Banding. These latter con-
tain the Constitution and aegaIa-
tons
1t will be observed that the Pre-
miums have been greatly increased,
the rates being equal if not above
those paid by any Society east or
west.
Premiums are also offered on a
larger number Of PARTICLES than before,
and there are discretionary depart
ments for allowing premiums on
all articles of merit not on the lists
Hitherto there have been com.
plants because the premiums rates
were too low-the gtumblers suppo-
sing that ali the Directors had to do
was to offer any rates however high,
no respect for the treasury. But it
was thought best 10 secure a full
treasury before adopting high premi-
ums, and thereby insure a perma-
nent thing of such offerings. There
is nothing so fatal to any enterprise
as making a big splurge and there
after a taIl-withal no greater war
rant of success and respect than the
keeping up of big pay year after
year.
But the society will require the
aid OF a united public to be able / o
keep UP under such a dear underta-
king.
There may still DO defects sop+s-
whore, but it will be the duty OF
complainers to carry then wares IT
once to the managers for mending.
Last year there were complaints
that the appointed judges were not
promptly NJ their places-substitutcs
having to be picked up from the
Gro Td with hrt little OF no regard
for eompeten or appropriateness.
The fault was not with the officers,
but with the people for laxity Of or
der. Some men are never M to

other name for these late risers. are

Philosophy of Pruning Vines and Irees.

The root of the grape sends up a
top, and when there is more wood
formed then root, the former becomes
Q syphon to draw from the root all it
will bear and more too. SO much
wood gould not be matured by 50 lit
tie root hence the necessity of prun-
ing and pinching the vine in view OF
reducing i to what the root can well
support and ripen. With all due at.
t%ention the roots of vines sent up
wood lest year than could bo
ripened, and therefore the vital parts
or buds iroze and went up with the
first frost.
The same applies exactly to the
apple and other fruit trees. especiall,l
Of such kinds as grow an excess Of
wood. The treatment consists in
thinning the tops during 'he growing
season, thereby l~cavinr but just
chouSh WCtu TO Tlpth NoH anu NC
ready for the tall frost. Such is the
treatment, especially for young vines
and fruit trees. After the bearing
stage in life, the apple say at four
teen or fifteen years, but little if any
pruning is required, as the root and
top then arrive at an equilibrium OF
vitality.
The apple bears almost any amount
of pruning, and tho Remaining wood
ripens all the better for it; provided
only the pruning be done at the grow
shg'geason in June or July. At this
time all limbs mai formed at the
crotch, the bark turning in and form
ing a split fork, should be cut away
so low as IL expose the damaged
bark between.

gThe fire in Portland, Maine

GyThe fire in Portland, Maine,
commencing on the Fourth of July
AMI continuing throughout the day
and night was the most extensive
and distressing calamity that has
happened to an American city du.
ring the present generation. Not
even the war, with its many sad IN.
stances Of destruction BY fire and.
bombardment, produced anything so
terrible. A city of nearly or quite
fifty thousand inhabitants-a city
full Of wealth and cmbeilishcd with
hundreds of noble buildings, public
and p~rivate--is half destroyed and
its business streets almost entirely
obliterated with ashes and blackene,
