This Department Of our paper is Edited by,

MAS 70 whom all Communications on
Agriculture" should be addressed


A great deal is just now being said
and written concerning the Ives Seed
ling Grape. A premium was recent
ly awarded it as the best wine Grape
in America. DIR. c. w. Spalding, of
st. Louis, President of the ''CIiff Cave
Wine Company" was member OF
the awarding committee.
We take the liberty Of publishing
the following extract from private
letter received by US from the Doctor
a few days since. His opinions are
so frank and candid that we value
them:
'"The Ives has not yet been fruited
mach in this State. 1t is not equal TO
Concord as a table grape, but it is su-
perior for wine. Vigorous, productive
and hardy, it bids fair to become a
leading variety for wine, but that has
not yet been proved. ] have, however,
so much confidence in it that 1 have
planted four acres, about One-half OF
which viii come into bearing next
season. I consider it a safe grape TO
plant, but there remains, of course,
some uncertainty until it has been
thoroughly tested. In my opinion no
grape shOald be pronounced upon with
certainty until it has been fruited five
years. Many varieties do well when
young and afterwards fail. do not
eTpeet to be disappointed in the Ives
but / may be and therefore I opposed
the award of the LOngwOrth's Wine
House Premium, giving to the Ives
the first place for the whole country.
For this have been rOundly abused
by Mr.. E. A. Thompson, of Cincinnati
ii, as you probably knew; 1, however,
think shall survive the attack and
have the assurance that am sustained
by the honest and intelligent grape
growers of the country. The Norton's
Virginia is our best wine grape-that
is the best that has been fully tested,
and that can be had vineyard prices.
1t fruits as does the Concord, the third
season after planting. The ives fruits
one year latter. This latter fact appears
to have been kept back by the Ohioans,
and only discovered il by trial. |
find, however, on inquiring in Ohio,
that it has always been well known
there"
We have such faith III the Ives thai
we VIII plant an acre the coming
spring.

MILK ExDerimenfs.

A dairyman, Hank /. Clark of New
York, has instituted a course of expe-
rinents in regard to milk, and com
municates the results to the American
AgricltttlEiSt. They are as follows ::
Il. The quality of milk differs al
most if not quite as much as in guam
tity. ?. Ia buying COW, get asamPle
o. the milk ii possible. 3. A COW
gives richer milk when fat than poor.
4.-A COW gives poorer milk with her
first calf than afterward. ). The older
the COW the richer the milk. until her
constitution lsegins to fail. 6. The
longer the period which has elapsed
since calving, the richer the milk. Z.
The richness of the milk varies with
the quality OF feed. s. The richness
of the cream varies-that from the
richest milk making the most butter.
s. A-cow should be in first rate eOndi-
ton when she calves: all the fat goes
into the milk pail. 10. Strippings or
last milk is from five tonine times
rief1er than first taken. II. A COW
must be ia good health to give rich
and wholesome milk. II. Milk should
be SKINNED when fOrty-eight hours
old, and sweet"

Scene at the Death Bed OfPres-
fdent Lincoln.

AT Carlisle, Pa, recently, the Pres
byterian SynOds Of the old and new
schools being ia session at the same
place, the two bodies met IN cOmmuR-
ion with great harmony. Rev. Or.
Gurley, pastor Ofthe church in Wash
ington which President Lincoln usu-
ally attended, in a speech at the table
gave the following narrative, which
has never before been made public:
fWhen summoned on that sad night
to the death-bed Of President Lincoln,
/ entered the room fifteen or twenty
minutes before his departure. An
present were anxiOusly gathered
around him, watching 70 catch his
last breath. The physician, with one
hand on the pulse Of the dying man
and the other hand laid upon his heart,
was intent watching for the moment
when life should cease
HE fingered longer than we had
expected. At last the physician said:
He is gOne-he is dead. >"
Then / sOlemnly believe that for
four or five minutes there was not the
slightest noise or movement in that
awful presence. We all stood trans-
fixed TO our positions, sDeeehless,
that great and good man.
At length the Secretary Of War, who
was standing at my left, broke the
silence and said, Doctor, win you say
anything?" ] replied, / win speak TO
God. said he, do il Just now
And there, by the side Of our fellow
chief God put it into my heart to Ut
ter this petition, that from that hour
We and the whole nation might be-
come more than ever firm in our devo-
ton TO the cause OfOur beloved fmpsF-
He'd country.
When I ceased, there Tose from the
lips of The entire company q fervid
and spontaneous Amen. -
And has not the Whole heart Of the
nation responded amen.
Was not that prayer, thers offered,
