in the open ground, and with an almost
certainty in the house Of s good crop, be-
cause, in the house, temperature can be
controlled, while out of doors il cannot.
With a house constructed so hat ventil-
lation can be had only at the top, there
is little fear Of any lnildeT, or other dis
ease, 50 often destructive to vines in
houses constructed with both upper and
L9wer ventiIators, and there is no trOu-
HE whatever in controlling the temper

frosts) We have seen months pass with
ont the v~entilators being disturbed, the
temperature being regulated by that out
side. The rules for forming borders Of
rags, old horses, etc, are all humbugs
any good rich soil will grow table
grapes and if any enTiching material Is
required, bone meal or well rOtted ma
nure is all that is necessary. In maDag-
ing, also, the main point Is to keep
moisture in connection with heat and
as heated air is an absorbent Of moisture,
il will extract it from the vine or tree,
unless It can be obtained from the soil
the surface, therefore, should never be
allowed to become entirely dry during
the period Of vigorous growth. After
the fruit has commenced cOloring, il the
soil becomes partially dry, il will not be
injurious. Some think the flavor of the
fruit better with less moisture during the
latter part Of the ripening season.
EARLY PEAS.
As soon as the frost is sufficiently out
of the ground to enable il to be dug or
plOwed, il is advisable to prepare Tor
sowing peas. 1t is not requisite that the
soil should be rich, but if deeply stirred
and Of moderate fertility, the crop Will
be abundant aud long continued. Shall
low soils and shallow planting give shall
low returns or, in other words, give
dwarf vines, short pods, and but one or
two pickings. OF varieties that we have
found valuable, Carriers extra early, or
first o matur early, and is Produe-
tive. Ne plus ultra, Philadelphia early,
and Prince Albert, are all good Entil
champion Of England natures, with
which we are satisfied, and continue its
use by having succession Of paintings to
come alone in due time after the
other.
SAVE The WASTE BON -.
There is in almost every family g daily
waste Of bones. that if saved and applied
to the roots Of the pear trees and grape
vines in the garden, would supply yearly
sufficient manure for n hundred plants.
We have seen the roots Of a pear tree
turn from a two-thirds radius of the
circle TO embrace and feed upon a few
bones that were buried on the side Of a
tree. Hoare, in his A." treatise IN the
vine,U gives an account Of the roots of
the vine passing through dry clay to
reach a bone, giving out no lateral or
fbrous roots until it reached the bone,
but when there sent out numerous fbers,
perfectly embracing and covering it.
MANURING TREES.
Too many, in applying manure to their
fruit trees, forget the position Of the roots,
and apply within a foot or so Of the body.
If they were to carefully remove the soil,
they would find that trees of vigorous
growth, and from seven to ten feet high,
have roots that are really the main
sources of nourishment, varying from
to ten feet from the body. The ap-
.pliCatiOu of manure, therefore, to give
the best results, should be distributed
the tree at q distance of from five
70 eight feet from the trunk. In posi-
lions where the turf is desired to be
maintained, cut and roll 10 back, put on
tie manure, fork it in very lightly, and
then replace the turf.
TWO WAYS OF GROWING ASPARAGUS.
Among our many asparagus-growing
acquaintances there are two who are
side-by-side neighbors, and who both
large and s~uccuient asparagus of
the y-arrr n noar aBaaara meas and vat NyhOGa
practices are so at variance that we con-
slider them worth recording. The one
forms his asparagus bed by making a
deep trench, say u foot deep and about
eighteen inches wide; into the bottom Of
this he deposits a coating Of well rOtted
manure, forks it into the soil, and then
sets his plants, covering from the side
sell. From veal TO year he adds soil
from that thrown out, until the whole has
come to level, when he again forms new
beds.
The other practices as follows He
turns over a pieceOf rich sward, on which
he builds twelve and fifteen inches deep
Of compost, composed of Wellrotted ma
muck and rich virgin loan, and on
of this bed he sets his plants.
