KANSAS CORN erie.

We venture to say that an Indians corn crib
is the be- in the State OF Kansas-at any rate,
it is good one, planned and built by an OF
tswa Indian, John 7. Jones, familiarity known
to Kansas people as Ottawa Jones'" The
excellent example the "red skin sets to his
pale face " brethren, will be appreciated by
all familiar with the rail pen cribs almost uni
yersal at the West. The corn crib will save
grain enough from the rats to pay its cost in
very few years Mr.. J. p. Brown, of Oua.
wa, describes it as / feet wide, 25 feet long ;
having drive way through it, approached On
either side by an inclined plane. connected
with the building by draw bridge, and form
ing part Of the door. The posts are two feet
square, protected by zinc caps extending s
inches on all sides. The sides of the crib are
upright Stats placed an inch and half apart.
This arrangement has the advantage over
most other plans which we have commended
to our readers, Of ufordng abundant floor
room for Smelling, etc, for the corn must be
stored in slated bins around the sides, OF
spread upon the floor evenly, one or two fee,
thick, to be sure of its not being injured by
heating American Agricu'twist

GRAPE CULTURE IN The WRsT.-ThreC
thousand acres Of grapes are under cultivation
in Erie and Ottawa counties. Ohio, including
the islands Of Lake Erie, fom which it Is es-
tima,ed that Two hundred thousand gallons Of
wine were produced the last year. Growers
have established asiGudard Of prices at one
mill per pound for each degree Of specific
gravity Of must. The average production Of
grapes on the islands this year has been
about one aud hall tons per acre.
The Kelley Island Wine Company puIchas-
ed the grapes from 225 acres, aud have man.
uiactured above IS 600 gallons Of wine Other
parties have made out at least "A 900 gallons,
being total Of 100000 gallons that is now
stored On that island Bass Island, it is esti-
mated, had also in store $1,000 gallons OF
wine. Bass Island has sold more fruit for
table purposes, in proportion to the ground
in cultivation, than Keiley's Island Addi-
tional attention is being given to the culture
of new varieties of grapes. This is occasion.
ed by slight want OF confidence in the Ca
tawbas. Among those being most planted,
are Concords, Deawares, Hartfords, Rogers,
lyes, Nortons, Virnia, etc.

RFNOyATINq 0RAss LANDS.

An Allegany correspondent Of the Rural
New y orker, furnishes an interesting state
ment Of his experiments in renoyating me d-
ows where daitying is the principal business,
and where it is desirable to keep the land
most Of the time in grass. Meadows there
become greatly diminished in their crops, in
few years He tried narrowing the surface,
top-dtessing with manure, Te-seeding, piss-
tering, applying aches, &C., with little effect
He narrowed one half Of an eight-ytar mead
ow after manurng it in spring, and had an
increase Of twenty five pounds OF hay per acre.
Sheep manure, applied IN fall on a new mead.
ow, gave an increase Of hundred pounds
per acre Discarding these modes, he next
turned the sod with good pillow, and re-
seeded to clover and timothy after the first
crop; what this crop was he does not state.
He has thus renovated seventy acres, rolling
in the seed. An old twelve acre meadow
yealded but six loads after renovating as
described, the first crop was twenty-six loads,
the next twenty-four. In four years, he
pIowed again, seeded with four and half
loads Of manure per acre, and harvested fifty
bushels of oats per acre, and the next year
forty-one loads Of hay from the twelve-acre
lot
1t will be seen that his manuring was not
heavy. The application made in spring in a
former experiment, resulted as we should ex-
poet, especially If thinly and unevenly applied
at that season of the year. Autumn manure
ing, unit, rmly and evenly made, is much
more efficient But it must be admitted that
invertng the sod on dry uplenos. is the most
perfect way of restoring heavy crops, a full
amount Of grass seed being used. manure
must be applied freely, if only single year
is taken for this renewal but il two more
years can be added, 30 as to turn in heavy
crop Of clover in short rotation, there is no
question that great improvement would be
made 1t must not be forgotten that one
great objection to blowing and re-seeding
grass fields, is owing to spating & e of grass
seed, and an imperfect preparation Of the SUR
face for it. Sow thickly, say a peck or more
per acre, on a smoth, mellow, finely top.
dressed surface, and a dense, heavy growth
Of grass will be the result, much better in
quality than that efTotded by large, course
thinly-scatteted stems. Some successful gra.
ziers inform us that they have succeeded in
restoring meadows after cutting four or five
crops Of grass from them, by pasturing them
with cattle for two or three years, taking care
never to Craze them short, but allowing
growth of grass at least eight or ten inches
high, aud especially in autumn and on the
approach of winter Country Gentleman.

sourHERN lNDusTRY.

William II Garland, correspondent making
returns from Pike county, Mississippi, after
deploring the status Of labor relations in that
section, says:
"Not only is the south destined to feel the
blightng influences Of the present state Of
things, but their baneful effects must be felt
through the whole country. Let the south
limit its agricultural productions to its own
consumption, and it ceases to be market for
the productions of the west. What beauu.
full chain Of self interest bound this whole
country together The south consumed the
productions Of the west the north manufac-
tured the productions Of the south, and sent
them, increased by her labor to the west to
bring comfort to their homes and to give life
and vitality to her lands, and thus this great
country was bound together by golden cir
Gle Of self interest But unless some change
shall come in the councils Of my country, this
chain is broken, and the broad fields Of the
south will no more bloom with joy, happiness
and wealth"
The assumed evil here deplored, the break
ing Of the chain of abject dependence OF one
section upon the industry of the others, will
yet prove the industrial salvation Of the south.
The cotton States producing mainly one sta
pie, sent through numerous middle.men, at
great expense, to Europe, and brought food
supplies from the west, clothing from the east,
and various luxuties from ioreigns lands, pay
ing enormous prices and running in debt in
this Improbable exchange Of products while
the country was left bare for Improvements
destitute Of good roads ana public buildings,
with general air OF poverty and shiftlessness,
A shout Of rejoicing should resound through
( the south that this false and ruinous system OIL
slavish dependence is broken, with possibility
that a varied and supporting husbandry may
be substituted. manufactures be built up, and
the women aud children of the poor furnished
with suitable aud congenial employment. The
transition state may be bitter, but sweet re-
suits will follow, if all, black and white, shall
cease idlng and repining, and put their shout
ders to the wheel Of progress. The old com
plant that the cotton States were enriching
the north was true only in this comparative
sense, they we're imptovetishing Themselves
by a suicidal policy, while States with varieC
and well balanced industries we're becoming
enriched through system Of universal anC
profitable labor They will become prosper
Gus, if ever, when they grow their own grain
make their own cloth, and sell only the surplus
results Of their industry.

KEEP THE CALVES lHMFTY.-A calf kept

Dunk FOR MILoH Cows Cows that give
milk in winter, says the Maine Farmer, will
add much to their profit by giving them
bucketful Of warm water twice a day, with
little meal or even the slops Of the family in
it. Every one has noticed how an extremely
cold day will affect their milk, or whenever
they become wet in summer. little salt
with meal floating on the surface ofsuch dinl
will soon teach any COW how to drink it.

small consideration. All animals thrive ao

be likely to gain only half as much as he would
