Wine Making.

The following di; ections for the manu-
facture of wine are from the pen of the
late N. LongwOrth, of Cincinnati, who
was one of the most extensive and sue
cessful winners in the United States:
ave gather our grapes at full MATURE
ty, carefully pick off all green, rotton
and decayed grapes, pass them speedily
as possible through a machine (thOr-
oughly seasoned and all possible taste
from the wood ex:racted) to separate the
stems from the grapes. and mash them
without breaking the seed. Instead of
placing them in 8 towel and bowl, we
place them in q large clean press, in
which not a nail is driven, and the wood
of which has been fully seasoned and
even if of beechwood, should not allow
particle Of the taste of the wood to re-
main in it. Press it as speedily as pos
sible, keeping the last hard pressing sep
arate from the earlier runnings. Place
the must in clean casks, from which no
taste could be obtained from the wood,
or any previous brandy or wine holdings
unless from liquor from the same kind
of grape. We Immediately place the
cask in q cool cellar, do not fill it entire
ly but as soon as the fermentation COM
mences, stop the passage Of the strength
and aroma of the grape as tar as possible
by putting in it tight bung through
which passes crooked syphon into the
cask to receive the air, aud the opposite
end of the syphon is placed In vessel of
water, and the syphOn is continued until
the fermentation is nearly oyer, when it
is taken out and tight bung driven in ;
giving air by small gimlet hole two or
three times day, for three or four days ;
after which all air is excluded till the
wine Is clear when it is racked.the cask
thereafter kept full and tight. If we
wish a superior article we do not deem
it fit for bottling until four or five years
old. III firing were necessary and isin-
glass or the white of eggs, to fire pipe,
cost so, we should never think Of using
beech chips. --,.' ''' /. !. ~ /,

Cotton Prospects In India,

The prospects of cotton growing in
India are far from encouraging. In
addition to the advantages of climate
the planter has to contend against the
damage inflicted by the red fly and the
boil worm-the latter being far more
destructive in India than in this
country. When once fastened upon
a tract of country they re-appear sue
cessively year after year unless the
land is left idle for time, and the eggs
are destroyed by sun and rain. The
following extract from the Calcutt'
Englishman, just received will be
found interesting:
According to the latest returns from
the central provinces, the cotton crop
of the present season is likely to be
bad i'm quality and deficient in guam
tity, Notwithstanding the increased
area cultivated. The increased pro-
duce of the Northwestern provinces
nearly double that of the previous
year-may help to make up the bulk
of the crop to the same quantity as
last year, but the best Indian cotton is
the product of the central provinces,
and the deterioration in its quality is
likely to prejudice the other descrip-
tions of Indian cotton. The cotton
crop has suffered during the past year
from several causes-damp, rain and
fly, and the boil worm being the prin-
cipal. The damp and rainy weather
i'm December, just as the plants were
in boil and in blossom, spoiled the
color and knocked off the flowers.
More rain followed at the beginning
of the year, and again on the 18th OF
June, which further increased the
damage already done. During the
damp weather the process of cotton
cleaning is also stopped, and by this
delay the cotton is injured. Up TO
the end of January, the amount sent
forward was only %, 39l bales, against
T0.l75 i'm 1863, ..-.-..a -t...-... t.lat.

Destroying the Cotton Worm.

The Pillow Boy, in giving reports OF
the proceedings and discussions car
ried on at the monthly meetings of the
Farmers Club of Caldwell county,
states that q Mr.. Berry, last season,
relieved his crop from the ravagcs OF
the cotton worm by very simple ex-
pedient. This gentleman, it is stated,
attached light affair to his harness,
for instance, something like broom
corn of light elastic brush, fastening
the same on each side of the team. the
catterpillars would be brushed or
stirred off from the cotton plants. If
this operation be performed in the
heat of the day and be Immediately
followed up by light cultivator
which would merely destroy the veg
citation between the rows and thus
remove all chance of subsistence from
the worms on the ground, they would
be effectually exposed to the scorch-
ing rays of the sun, and would be de-
'stroyed before they could possibly
return to the cotton plants. II was
stated that Mr.. Berry thoroughly rid
his crop Of this pest last year by The
above mentioned means, and, that his
plan wascorroborated by other testi-
mony to the same effect. No harm TO
try it, although we snrmise it would
have to be repeated frequently. Can
1t not be improved upon.

The Census.

Preparations for taking the cer,sus
throughout tho, United, States arc
now nearly completed, and The work
| will commence this month. The
value of the statistics obtained, will
depend upon their accuracy, and it is
Of the utmost importance to the OBJ
jects contemplated in the work, that
the statements given shall be as near
Iy correct as possible. 1t has been
suggested that every person can pre-
pare himself in advance to answer the
questions that will be asked. The
suggestion is a good one, and farmers,
stock breeders, ETC., can, in a large de-
gree, prepare themselves in advance
! to answer intelligently and promptly
the questions which will be asked
them. The following schedule, which
| we find i'm several of our exchanges,
will suggest points. upon which the
Assistant Marshals will desire infor-
nation. .i-....
l. In reference to land. State the
owner or manager of the farm, the
number of acres of land improved or
unimproved, with cash value Of The
same. and the value of farming imple-
ments and machinery.
2. State the number of live stock of
all kinds on hand June l, 1860, toge-
Their with the value of the same, and
the value of the animals slaughtered
within the year. .baiHe7l
8. State the number of bushels of
wheat, rye, corn, oats, barley, buck
wheat, peas and beans, Irish potatoes
and sweet potatoes, were produced,
the value of orchard product in dol
lars, pounds of wool and pounds OF
tobacco, if any, the number of pounds
of butter or cheese, tons of hay, bush
els of clover seeds and other seeds,
pounds of hops, pounds of cane sugar,
gallons of molasses, pounds of honey
and beeswax, and the value of all
home made manufactures. The other
questions relating to persons, ages,
births, deaths, marriages, professions,
occupations and trades, can readily he
answered by any intelligent member
of the family-only requiring care
that the dates be correct. 81 .e-.t
Let the farmer take the first oppor-
tunity to write out these answers in
full, and have them ready for the
coming of the Assistant Marshal, and
he will save both himself and the
Marshal q great dea! Ct trouble.

The VOice--H0w TO Use 1t.

AT a recent lecture in the, Royal
Assembly Rnnm, birmingham, Mr.
Lunn explained the qualifications re-.
quisite in q musical instrument and
passed on TO speak of the human
natures instrument. In order
to produce sound there must be air
or breath; but this did not produce
tone or sound. That air must be sci
in motion by means of vocal organs.
for sound was air i'm motion. The hui
man vocal sound was the result OF
breath or air INSTRUCTED in the organs
ofsound, and that obstruction could
be used at will. He then gave q mi
mute description of the nature, mode
of action, and capabilities of the vocal
organs, remarking that sound was
produced by the air coming out from
the chest through the windpipe ex-
citing the vocal cords.
The. chief object. of a master or a
pupil in that science was to get the
greatest possible air. Intensity and
siren nth did not consist in or depend
upon the quantity of air consumed,
but the manner in which it was used.
He characterized the idea Of there be-
ing a chest voice" as stupid and err
roncous. Having enlarged upon VA
rious other points, including the voice
as means of conveying thought, the
influence of dialects, the duties and
objects of a master, he concluded by
a brief reference to the nature OF SIAM
mering and of consumption. He said
there were various causes of stamlner-
ing, and in two cases only could it be
treated with any hope of success. If
he were to say that he could "sweep
consumption from the land" he
should tell them what was false, but
i'm many cases proper knowledge Of
the nature of the vocal organs, the
way to use them, and due exercise
of them, would prevent the disease
from taking root In the constitution.
