at dinner, that the attention ofservants

A CRATE EXPERMENT-IMpoRTANT
REsULT.-ME Peter Kohl, the pioneer
vine grower on the Wisconsin, favorS
the Sank City Pioneer with an account
OF an experiment made by him:
Taken by surprise BY the early cold
weather last fall, before he could press
al his grapes, he was forced to winter
them over in some manner. He put
them Up in boxes and allowed them to
freeze. On the Sd of April he began
TO press them, and found that the wine
made isa hundred per cent better than
that made from the same quality of
grapes last fall. Out Of about 5,oG0
grapes thus winlcred he made 635 gal
los of wine. Mr.. Kleinpell, who ex,
amined the grapes, says they are in a
good condition. and he did not taste
any better last fall.

characteristic quickness of his calling,

spoil the polish of the boots. hent.

FARM WAGONS First, we adcise
their owners to shelter them from the
weather always, when not in use. 1t
seems more convenient to have a shed
or other place purposely for the lumber
wagon. as the carriage house is rarely
sufficiently commodious or handy, 1t
is better for all wheeled vehicles to
stand on floor of wood.
Next. would il not be good economy
to have an extra sci Of wheels broad
trimmed truck wheels-that could be
slipped on any time for farm use? For
handling manure, picking stone, and
other uses in which loads are TO be
pitched on and off. the lowness of the
wagon would render the work more
easy For traversing wet ground in
spring or fall, such wheels would be
very beneficial to the soil and team
The expense would be trfing, compar.
ed with that Of an extra wagon. Third,
use long reach and Il long low, wng,
oH box, as it is easier to load and nm
load from it, The best style of hty
rack we ever saw, was one that could
be rugged and bolted to such box.
