A paper read before the HOFticuItu-
raj Congress, at Manchester. England.
gives some interesting facts concern
ing the proper soil for grape vines Of
different sorts. When the vines were
planted in soil which contained an
unusual proportion OfmagnesianIime
they apparently did well. The fruit
promised to be fine until it finished
stOning, when it ceased to swell, often
decreased in size, shriveIed, and was
denelent IN saccharine matter and arc
ma. Another border In the same gar
den had soil from the old red-sand-
stone formation, entirely withoutIfme,
and composed Of silica, alumina. and
organic matter, formed from decayed
heritage. This vine produced fruit
perfect in every way, some Of the ber-
ries measuring four inches in eircum-
ference. In the winery only a TOP dres-
sing Ofmanure is used, with siliciOus
soil. The injurious effects were pro-
baby produced by magnesia. but at
any rate the authors experience shows
thatgrapevines succeedin soils belong
ing to thatgeolOgical formation known
as the old red sandstone, but do not
succeed on the magnetism limestone.
The presence Of limestone, however,
by no means indicates unfitness for
all kinds Ofgrapes, for il is well known
that IN this country large tracts over
lying limestone formations are capable
of producing grapesin great excellence
and variety. 1t is futile to search for
a grape that viii do well everywhere,
and the above experience certainly
proves the necessity Of close observa-
ton Of soils on the part of grape cultU-
rists.-EJ.

How to Keep Rats from Des
trOy1ug Harness.

Almost every person who uses q har-
ness has been more or less ANNOYED bv
having them injured by rats. We
give a few hints as to how this may be
avoided, though everybody knows, or
affects to know. what is best. The
receipts here given are collected from
different sources.
Take about a teaspoonfuI Of ceyenne
pepper, mix it thoroughly with a0uart
Of oil, and rub the harness with the
mixture. This, it is claimed, will not
only keep rats and mice from gnawfnq
the harness, but it will also prevent
horses and colts from chewing the
lines or haIters.
Take two quarts of green leeks, pour
Over them n gallon of oil, and let it
standa few days before using; the lon
ger it stands the better.
A little benzine rubbed over the har-
mass after il has been oiled is said to
be a surepreventive, but is not recon-
mended by many, on account Of the
idea that It INJURIES the leather.
One ounce Of alOes to one gallon Of
oil will prevent rats from destroying
the harness.
1T isalsO claimed by mixing a small
Quantity say a tablespoonful of pine
tar to ore quart oil, harnesses will be
most effectually protected from any
injary but If too much is put on the
leather viii not absorb It. Il will col
leet dirt, besides making the harness
unpleasant to handIe.-HdrueSs and

Pawnee and ~RIchardsOn
Counties.


We made a flying trip through por-
tons Of Pawnee and Richardson
eoautIes last week, 81 the way Of Ta-
bic Rock, Pawnee City, Salem and
Falls City. Il had been eve years
since we were in Pawnee county, and
twelve years since we were in Rich
ardson, in the vicinity Of Salem and
Falls City. OF course, wonderful
changes have taken place within the
times mentioned. Especially along
all the water courses, where there is
more OF less timber, the country with
in the scope Of our brief trip, We
found well filed upand veil imprOved-
Fine farms, farm houses and barns are
to be seen in all directions. In Paw
nee county the farmers, and wisely,
too, are principally herd law observ-
ants, and are raising fine crops with
out the expense Of fences, which is i'm
posed on the farmeri IN many other pOr-
tions Of the State. Near Table Rock
there is q ane ~water-pOwer mill, sufi-
eient 70 accOmmodate the surrounding
country. Il has a good reputation.
About Pawnee City are sOme splendid
farms. J.. w. HoIlingshead adjoining
the town, like US, has "fruit on the
brain, = and has been for years plant
Ing trees, and now has a beautiful and
washable place. A near neighbor Of
his-Mr Dunn, if we recolIeet the
name-is troubled with the same COM
pIafnt. and shade and fruit trees, vines
and shrubs, loom up about his place.
A great many places along our route
we noticed that farmers are given to
tree planting.
The country right about Salem is
rather rough, yet the adjacent valleys
yield a good supply of almost all the
farmer desires, and the town has a
good trade. There are some beautiful
views Of the Valleys observable from
the high grounds from Pawnee City to
Falls City. When we were last, be-
fore, at.FalIs City, there We're no i'm
provements scarcely. Now there is a
beautiful and tastflyiarranged village,
and the valley and surrounding eoun-
try well filed with industrious and
enterprisiug farmers. A railroad now
graded to Falls City, and about ready
for the iron, and running up the rich
valley Of the Great Nemaha, will
work wonders in a very few years. A
great and growing country, this
Southern Nebraska. It only wants to.
be seen to be appreciated.
We regret that owing to the facts
that the weather was extremeIy,eold
and our time limited, we bad not time
