EARLY TYING UP OF GRAPE VINES ON
THE TRELLIs.-The HortieWLturist says: II
there is anything in the theory that great
injury is often caused by extraction ofmois-
ture and evaporation when 10 contact leave
the vines lying upon the ground until after
the cold, drying winds Of March have passed.
As the season advances the circulation Of
sap increases, and in March there is more
aqueous matter in the vine than i1 the month
of January, and consequently it is more
susceptible to change Of temperature, and is
more affected by cold, drying winds. There
are those who believe the plant to be more
severely injured by the cold, drying winds
of March or April than by any extremes of
temperature during the regular winter
months. Without attempting to prove or
disprove the theory, we shall only say that
our experience for some years has been in
leaving our vines on the ground until quite
late in the spring. We have sometimes left
them even until they had bloomed and set
their fruit; and once or twice we have
thought that we escaped injury from frostS
and from cold, driving rain and sleet storms
by the vines being on the ground, we having
plenty of fruit when some Of our neighbors,
whose vines were neatly and carefully tied
up, were destitute of this luxury.

GRATING WAx.-Grafting wax may be
made by melting together resin, tallow, and
beeswax, in such proportions as to be pro.
perly softened by warmth, but never to melt
and run in the suns rays. Three parts of
resin, three of beesWax and two of tallow,
make good wax. Four parts of resin, two
of tsllow, aud one ofbeeswaz, form a cheap
composition, but is more troublesome by
adhering to the hands. These are TO be
melted and we'll stirred together, and may
be brushed over muslin for plaster, or worked
with wet hands and drawn out into ribbons,
for wrapping around the graft.

WHITEWAsHING.-As the house-cleaning
time will soon be here, it may not be amiss
to say few words in regard to Whitewashr
ing. There are many receipts published,
but we believe the following to be the best
that can be used. White chalk is the best
substitute for lime as wash. A very fine
and brilliant whitewash preparation OF chalk
is called "Paris White" This we buy at the
paint stores for three cents pound, retail
For each sixteen pounds of Paris White we
procure half pound of the white transpor>
ent glue, costing twenty-five cents (6fty
cents a pound.) The sixteen pounds ofParis
White is about as much as a person will use
in day. 1t is prepared as follows: The
glue is covered with cold water at night,
and in the morning is carefully heated,
without scorching, until dissolved. The
Paris White is stirred in with hot water
enough to give it the proper milky oonsis-
tency for applying to the walls, and the dis,
solved glue is then added and thoroughly
mixed. 1t is then applied with brush like
the common lime whitewash. Except on
very dark aud smoky walls and ceilings, a
single coat is sufficient. 1t is nearly equal
in brilliancy toIzinc white far more ex-
pensive article.

AMERICAN EXTRAvAGANCE. A Paris
correspondent of the New York Express says:
1t is noticeable fact that Americans come
here to spend the winter, and generally re-
main altogether. There is a something so
captivating in the mode of life, the universal
gaiety, the pleasant aspect of the town, the
ease with which Americans especially get
into the best society, as to prove irresistible
in the majority of cases, and Paris becomes,
as a result, the abiding place Of our wealth
lest countrymen. And we'll may they seek
Paris. Here they meet with a welcome such
as no other nation extends. Here they have
assumed the prominence which of yore was
the prerogative of the Milford Anglais or the
Russian Prince "Extravagant as an Ameri-
can" has passed into a proverb here, now,
and Uncle Sam is in the ascendant. Then
the beauty aud grace of American women
have done much toward retaining this pres
tige. They, the ladies', are so gay, so plea s.
ant, so well dressed, and so extravagant.
They shine in society, owing to that charm
ing ease and independence of manner, so
characteristic and so attractive, when not
carried to excess, as is too often the case,
par pdrdnthese, and the successes of the
social season are gained by our bellies.
regret to add, that these adulations and
tastes of royalty and empire, seems to turn
the heads of the fair sex, who take to we'd
ding Counts, Barons, and the like, as though
they had done nothing else all their lives.
Perhaps it is because of the fact that extremes
meet but the Pdrisiennes, enVious of our
beauties, assert that au fond the latter are
more aristocratic than the aristocrats.

THE TEETH OF THE HoRsE.-A horse has
40 teeth-24 double teeth, or grinders four
tushes, or single file teeth, and II front teeth,
called gatherers. As general thing mares
have no tushes. Between two and three
years old the colt sheds his four middle teeth
two above and two below. After three
years old two other teeth are changed, one on
each side Of those formerly shed. He now
has eight colts teeth and eight horses teeth
When four years of age he cuts four new
teeth. At five years old the the horse sheds
his remaining colts teeth, four in number,
when his tushes appear. At six years of
age his tushes are up, appearing white,
small and sharp, while asmall circle Of young
growing teeth is observable. The month is
now complete. At eight years of age the
teeth have filled up, the horse is aged, and
his month is said to be full.
