who enlisted as private in the l Eth
Vermont Regiment and left the en-
ploy of Perley Hill in Irasburgh, has
returned in good health and spirits
aftera three years sojourn iD the ex-
treme south, where he performed his
duties faithfully and received rapid
promotion until he. received the rank
.of Major. He was stationed at Key
West, Florida, and at other points
near the Gulf, travelling quite exten-
sively in that region. At the close of
the war he was provost marshal in
western Florida, president of the court
martial and board of registration, and
filling other offices of trust. He has
had many perilous adventures among
that impetuous people. The past year
he was overseer on a plantation of
400 hands, engaged in raising corn,
cotton and sugar cane, with salary
of $500 in gold and perquisites.-
He has purchased 1000 acres of land
north of Townsville, Georgia, in a

A comparative glance at the figures,
shows that the gross production of
our dairymen in 1867 exceeds that
of any previous year, except 1855,
10y 10000 pounds, round numbers.
The maximum shipment of 1865 was
attained before the abrogatien of the
reciprocity treaty, aud doubtless the
importations from Canada to this
market during that year contributed
to swell its aggregate Shipment. Re-
garding the figures for 1867 as ex-
ceptional, by reason of the foreign
importations, the production of our
dairies has steadily increased each
year. With a favorable year, we
shall expect to chronicle the gross
product of 1868 at about four miilion
pounds. 81. Albums Messen ger. 70 10

Grape Culture In NIfcn5.an.

Mr.. EDITOR AS grape culture, in
Michigan, Is comparatively new occupa-
ton OF the people OF this section perhaps
little talk in your most valuable paper
will be Of interest to some who are already
engaged, and to others who are about to
embark IN this branch of industry This,
like all similar enterprises, must meet with
the difficulties which attend the lack of
experience in all Industries, where their
prosecution Is made the necessary subject
OF experiment hence a frequent inter
change of opinions and the publication of
the results of individual practice will tend
to more rapid diffusion of such knowl-
eege in vine culture as shall insure success.
Now that the grape season is passed, the
next thing that should attract our atten-
ton Is the pruning and protection of vines
in winter. hold that pruning should be
done in the fall, and that to secure a crop
OF fruit for long series of years, the vine
should be covered in winter; and as the
new and more tender varieties are not ex
tensively cultivated in this section, it will
De necessary to learn how to protect them.
While the Isabella and Concord have been
grown with much success in this
climate, other and more delicate vari-
etles with proper protection have
proved delicious and profitable. Now al
io"anS 'ne.' TIC prevailing cOlO WINGS OF
winter are too hard for the grape, we have
an alternative that will prove to be of
great benefit to all vine growers, and that
Is, to cover in winter. This is attended
with but little expense, and where this is
neglected, many of the American grapes
are cultivated with unsatisfactory results.
Ny method is to prune in the fall and cover
the cane left on the hill, some four or six
inches with earth, then little well-rotted
barn yard manure on each bill will be no
disadvantage, as it will in a measure pre-
vent alternate freezing and thawing, and
leave the vine in good healthy state in
spring. Too much care cannot be exer.
cised in protecting vines, and venture to
assert that nothing will pay better. I

While our famed Pacific Railroad is
pushing with gigantic strides across the
continent to our western confines, we
shouldsnot be unmindful of the rapid pro-
gress OF our railroad connections east
ward. If the one overshadows the other,
IT Is simply by reason OF its greater ex-
tent III miles, or the magnitude of its re-
sources and commercial connections which
It is expected to develop. The Pacific
Railroad adds 1865 miles to our great
Western Railway system, and brings Cal
lfornla within seven days of the great
commercial metropolis OF the continent.
The link of about 200 mi lies, now in [pro
gress between Bangor, Maine, and st. John,

land system of railway with that Of the
Lower British Provinces, which consists OF
500 miles of line, either already constructed
or IN progress. The first touches the
western limit on the Pacific; the other
Lawrence. Both together span the CON
tlnent. Both will be in operation in 1870.
