Crane Culture.

An objection, in the minds of some, to
grape culture, is found ia the indea that our
people are unacquainted with the manner Of
raising the vine from cuttings, transplant
ing to the vineyard. subsequent cultiva-
ton, pruning, etc. Considerable force at
taches this objection for the reasons that
as people, We have never aYailed our
selves of the advantages growing out of
familiarity with agricultural and horticultu-
raj papers and periodicals; which must es-
sentially contribute to the increase Of sound
knowledge upon all subjects connected
with the agricultural interests of the peo-
pie. The last census report shows that
there are forty papers and magazines pub
lished in the country, devoted almost ex-
clusiveiy to topics pertinent to farming
and gardening-some one or more of these
should be in the hands of every farmer in
this county. Tie influence of associa-
lions and animal exhibitions, are also
among the most powerful means and incen-
tives to improvement, enjoyed by the farm
ing community. A most important ap-
