Noes Frost Iniure Fruit-Buds
which Survive ttg

This question has been asked again
snd AGAIN. and we have come 10 the
conclusion to say a few words and
drew QUIT experience Ofourpractlcal
bortieulturists. 1t seems to US that
we have now data upon which to base
am intelligent OpiniOn. The fact that
4 hard frost injured our fruit when in
bloom Is known. w. @. Flagg says
aes TO the question andadds we want
more light. There are always croak-
ers who, like SOM tabled birds of i'll
omen are eager to cry Fall lost" But
these are not chargeable with oVer-
estimating the damage done to fruit
This spring. The question, however,
recurs to this point: was the fruit
which actually did set, injured by the
frost? We have come to the conclusion
that Il was injured andin consequence
that il has been and Is now dropping.
There was strength enoughin the bud
to set the fruit, bUtitwas so enfeebled
that il dropped prematurely and from
no othercause than that. Late bloom
ers tamong the apples) like the Janet
or Nothem Spy, whose bloom was
not open, and were almost without a
leaf &C the time of the frost, have no
more fruit than other earlier bloom
ing sorts. The fruit-buds on these
were not killed by the severe frost of
winter because they are very hardy
but by the late frost of spring. These
varieties with the others bear this
season ia the middle and northern
portion Of Illinois, and we think also
on the west side of the Mississippi.
How else are we to account for the
fact of their not bearing in Southern
Missouri. ID is said there are not
apples enough, If all mature, in those
parts Of the States, to feed the children
under five years of age for a month.
We have seen but very few in the
orchards we had the privilege to visit.
VIII not our readers give us their
observations on the point under CON
siderations If we are mistaken we
shall be glad to be corrected. So many
are now engaged in the business of
f~ruit-growing that all facts need to be
thoroughly canvassed.-Ec.

Pruning Grapes.

A reader desires us to write an arti-
Gle as to our system or plan of pruning
grape vines. The plan we have adop-
ted is simple and can be briefly stated.
We aim to prune exclusively by
pinching, or what is perhaps better
understood, as Summer pruning.
The first year the object should be to
give shape or direction to the vine,
If to be trained on trells, with two
stocks; lion stakes one, allow no more
TO grow. If the growth is vigorous,
pinch Off the ~latterals and even the
main stem toward the close Of the sea-
son. The next and following seasons
pinch OFF latterals-side shOots-to
two joints from main stem. When
fruit is set pinch Off fruit stem two
joints from fruit The object insumm er
pruning is TO develop the fruit dt6s
season and 20 perfect buds for next
season. We viii say here that almost
every cultivatOr Of grapes has a plan
Of his own in managing vines. Ii
is necessary TO understand the vine
and to know what you want TO ac-
eomplish. The ~foregrowing is our
plan, and with il we are satisfied I'M
till experience or some one win learn
us better. While upon this subject
we will state our experience as to win
ter treatment Of vines. We have never
succeeded in but one instance, and
that by very close summer pruning,
in raising Isabella, Catawba, or Diana
grapes without Governing the vines
during winter, and further while the
Concord, Delaware and other hardy
vines have never failed to yield agOod
crop, when left upon the trellis or
stakes the yield is so much larger by
being covered up that we shall never
fail to so treat all our vines. Simply
throw the vines on the ground and
throw a few inches of straw on them
with a weights of some kind to prevent
the straw being blown away. Try it.

clifton Farmers club Report.


CLIFTON, NEB., JUNE 25ht, 1868.
Mr.. Editor The report is some
what behind times this week partly
on account Of the press of business and
partly, farming without fenees''
which a lady correspondent Of yours
well sets forth in her article under the
above caption. But in spite Of weeds
and unruly cattle the club turned out
quite n~umerOusly on the afternoon of
the day appointed at the house Of b.
Aldrich, and had a good, interesting,
and instructive visit. After all had
arrived and had listened to the read
ing of several gOOdarticles onagricult-
ural themes which were brought by
members of the club, we took a strole
over the place to see what MI. A. had
done for himself the three years he
had occupied this portion Of Uncle
Sans garden, and how he had done
IL; for be il known that the members
ofthis club have almost TO a man but
'Just arrived" and have all nature
and but little else 70 contend or 10
with. But let us see whas has been
done, for some one may want 20 ''med-
de" with it. We first come to his
nursery ofl0OO or more peach trees,
6T5 chestnut, several hundred currant,
grape vines and apple trees from seeds
or cuttings this spring. We next mo-
tice his belts and groves of cotton and
maple trees, I'm an near seven acres Of
excellent growth.
The neNtin order was The Blackcap
Raspberry patch, which is big thing
In a smallway. He has two settings,
n ePatch of Of an acre > years and
one patch of Il acre, one year old,
planted exc feet, or 1850 to the acre.
These berries are worth so cents per
pound dried, and when 5 years old,
well cultivated and pruned, will yield
one pound to the bush, or 5000 pounds
worth $500, for one acre. Mr.. B. has a
very heavy crop considering the age
Ofthe plants which are now ripe and
are picked and dried at the Ate OF
three bushels per day. The variety is
the wild Blackcap. We then come to
his Houghton Seeding Goosebery
plantation, Of 500 plants of ? years
growth, well loaded with fruit of the
bestquality. Besides these Mr.. b. has
four acres of beans; D of sweet corn
which he boils on the cob, then dries
and shells, and takes to market in five
and ten pound sacks, with ready
sale, beside a great variety of other
vegetables. But l must not close this
article without speaking of probably
a million Evergreen seedlings of diff
erent varieties, which he has to keep
shaded by frames made Oflath. They
are a rich sight, and show that Mr..
b. has not only taste, but a zeal that
is cOmmendable and shows what skill
industriOusly applied, will do for this
country and mankind generally.
We then attended to the elmer
man." by appropriating literally sam
piles of most of the above fruits and
vegetables, prepared and served in
Mrs. .AldTich's happiest style.

CURE FOR FELoNs.-As there is |

CURE FOR FELoNs. there is
much needless suffering from felons,
we deem it duty to give remedy
which we know to be perfectly reli-
able: Take portion of the bark Of
sweet elder, or hops will do, put it
with some sweet cream into a cup,
aid boil short tune; then put in
a lump of saltpetre twice as large as
pea /; let it slowly dry away to the
consistency of salve, which apply to
the felon. The saltpetre is the cure,
but the elder bark and sweet cream
aid in easing the pain. AS felons some
times makes it necessary to anputate
finger or hand, Gf let aIone,) they
should be attended TO at once.
BY putting enough saltpetre any fel-
on can be cured in forty.eight hours,
and the pain will cease altogether i'm
mediatoly.

aSy- John Robinson's Menagerie

Say John Robinson's Menagerie
and Circus combined, exhibited here
on Friday, the 18th. Both the ma.
tinee and night exhibitions were hon.
ored with large numbers Of specta-
tors, considering the cold, damp
weather and the hard times.
There WAS a numerous collection
Of wild animals, all very neatly kept
and in unusually fine order for a trav-
cling menagerie. The circus depart,
ment, though limited as to variety,
was composed of excellent performers,
big and little.
Some Of the visitors to the show
express disappointment in it, whilst
many others give vent to an expression
Of feeling quite the contrary. But,
this is always the case. All cannot
be pleased alike; and in spite Of this,
circuses continued to draw crowds, as
Of old. They are species of amuse-
ment which never seem to lose their
hold on the popular mind. People
will 60 to them whether they expect
to be entertained or not. The little
folks always are, and we all like to
see them amused. Many persons 60,
if only to see nearly everybody else
there and everybody shows off SO,
Cd seats arranged in amphitheatrical
form.
A word in your ear Mr.. Robinson !:
Provide your audiences with wider
and more comfortable seats, the next
time you come along this way. Your
tent is very large, elegant and com
modious, and you should have seats
to correspond.

TIE SrENDTHRIFT Policy OF

TIE SPENDTHRIFT Policy OF
THE RADICALS The Utica Obser-
Yer, discussing the Federal debt,
says:
The Republican party has at
tempted to account for the vast reve-
nues it has drawn from the people
since the war, by claiming that the
rational debt has been reduced.
There is an apparent reduction, but
low has it been effected 7 We an
swer, by selling of and converting
public property into money. The
taxes the people have been paying
have been squandered by spend
thrift policy, and have scarcely
touched the bulk of the national
debt. The pretence that the Repub-
|lean party has effected an improve
meat in our financial condition equal
to the ostensible reduction of the
national debt is as delusive as it
would be for farmer to think he
