SULPHUR FOR GRAPE MlLpEw.--The vine.
yAsds OF France seem, 10 great extent, TO
have rsco sered from the "odium," as 1t ia
called there, which st one time threatened
to nearly ruin The vine in some Of the de-

phur, as used here. The "odium" is a
species of the mildew. and if not Identical
With that which attacks the grapes OF This
country, is certainly very similar 10 it, and
Of tbe same cry togrsmcus nature.
