LEGEND OF KILLARNEY. One OF the
legends Of this beautiful lake, situated
III the heart Of Ireland. is that once
every seven years, on !: fine morning,
before the first rays Of the sun have be-
Snn to disperse the mist from the bosom
OF the lake, the O'Donoghue comes
riding over it on Il beautiful snow white
horse, intent upon household affairs,
fairies lowering before him and strewing
his path with flowers. AS he approaches
his ancient residence, everything turns
to lis former state Of magniiicence-his
castle, his library, his prison, his pigeon
house, are reproduced rs in oltlen time
Those who have courage to follow him
over the lahr, may cross the deepest part
dry-footcd. and ride with him in the op-
posltc mountains, where his treasures lie
concealed; and the daring visitor will
receive liberal gift i'll return for his
company; but before the sun has arisen,
the ODonaghue recrosses the water, and
vanishes amid the ruins of his castle.
Another roiates how IL young and
beautiful girl, named Melcha, when
wandering along the ba,ks of u bcauti-
full lake, after the last rays of the setting
sun had gildcd the horizon, saw by the
pale light of the silvery moon, which
had just risen, q plumcd head rise out of
the lake. Gazing on the phantom, she
distinctly saw the form of Il chicftnin on
a white charger, gliding slowly towards
her. They bad an interview. She
loved. He promised her happy life
under the green waves. She agreed to
be his own the next May morn.
May morn arrived. AIclcha was ready
in her bridal dress. She stood on Il
high rocl' on the borders of the lake, as
the sun began to gild the surrounding
mountains. Soon she heard rapturous
music, the air was pcrfum Ell with deli
cious odors, and she bcheld train of
beautiful damscls arise from the water all
clothed in white, scattering spring flow
ers, then group Of yonng children
with fragrant flowers, and behind, O'Do-
noghue Oh his white horse, which was
led by Maids AS the train moved on,
boys and damsels came up and followed
till the Whole were opposite Melcha. He
wore glittering helmet, bright nrmor,
and the crimson scarf Mclcha had given
him when they parted. She knew not
what to do, or how to join her love, but
directly she stepped back few PAGES,
and running, made a big jump off the
rock; O'Donoghuc rushed forward and
caught her in his arms before she reach
ed the water. The entire train gathered
round the chief and his bride, and all
sunk beneath the waves-nor has the
lovely Melcha been seen from that day
to this.

The Best Time for Pruning Cranes.

l have read the various articles in Til.
tons journal Of Horticulture 10 regard
to the pruning Of grape vines. do not
propoes to theorize upon the subject
but to give the experience Of 20 years for
what it is worth. At first l supposed
chat il was improper TO trim in the Spring
when they bled the worst, the Germans,
whom | mostly employed, having pre-
judice against it. But sometimes some
parts OF the vineyard were trimme al this
supposed improper timo.
The closest observation I was able to
make, discovered no bad result, and 1
have never seen that it made any differ
ence when the vines were trimmed, from
the time the leaves we're ripe in the fail
to as late as the goth Of June. l seldom
get all my vines trimmed before the first
Of June.
Since we have had the rot, I have in
some vineyards tried leaving the three
canes the full length until August, when
if no rot appears, cut off tho surplus
wood, but If the rot set in have left the
whole vine, and got larger yield than
from vines short.pruning But where
there was little or no rot, the shortest
pruned vines have uniformly bore the best
crops. l am clearly of tho opinion that
the best time to trim is whenever it ID
most convenient after the leaf is dead in
the fall until the first of juno.
have always root.pruned pretty ee.
verely, plowing deep close up to the vine
and cutting the roots in the first hoeine
in the spring in most of my vineyarde
but have also tried the reverse, and
must confess have never been able to
see much difference in the results. There
are now seven to eight hundred acres here
in bearing.
Some persons think that spring trim.
ming is best, but do not claim that they
have any facts to prove it. 1t is true
that some parts of vineyards have been
trimmed in the fall, and did not bear as
well as the part trimmed in the spring,
but the reverse is also sometimes true.
1t is quito common to have one part
Of vineyard do better than another one
year, and the case reversed another year
If MIR. Byington or MIR. Underhill will
give US facts instead Of theory, l think il
would aid US more in the direction OF
correct conclusions than theorizng,.--

Important 10 Wheat Growers.

Hon. Horace Copron, Commissioner O
Agriculture, iu letter to Hon. b. c.
Cook of the National House of Repre-
sentatives, give some hints on wheat grow
ing, which should be considered and actec
upon by every grower Of that cereal
We copy from the letter as follows:
!. Deterioration from Imperfect Seed
Regard must be had to pedigree in whea.
as ~ cattle or horses, or the deterioration
is sure to result. Among wild herds the
prevailing law Of the strongest aids in
preserving its average excellence but
the prevalent neglect of the selection OF
seeds Ct cereals Is sure means of dcgen
eracy. Seed is generally taken at ran
dom, often on inferior and imperfec,
quality, because No. l. wheat commands
higher price iu market. Like produces
like, aud this shrivellcd grain tends to
slow growth IN the plants, to late ripen.
ing, aud greater risk of insect ravaees
it is immature aud lacking in vitality, and
decreased plumpness and diminished
weight may be expected in the harvest
it may have esgerms of mildcw affecting it.
With insufficient vitality to resist tho at
tacks Of fungoid enemies.
2. Deterioration by In and in Breed.
ng.-1he use of the same seed year afte,
pear undoubtedly tends to deterioration
on the well.known principle holding ia
animal production.
3. Neglect Of Relation in Crops.-Ou
the richest wheat soils, with contiaued
cropping, even with change of seed and
careful selection, . diminished yield il
usually apparent after the second crop.
Illinois. Minnesota, California, Australia
every famous whoat section known. at
tests the certainty and rapidity of de.
creased production under practice which
disregards rotation.
A. Deficient and Careless Cultivat ation.-
As rule, the only preparation for seed
ing is slight scratching of the soil
sometimes ouly narrowing of the wecdy,
grassy, uneven surface from which corn
has just been cut and weeds have thus
an equal or superior opportunity for
growth, and eventually smother and
dwarf the wheat, furnishing q prolific
cause for detcrioraeioa.
The wheat plant is susceptible of great
Improvements if the Same judgement aud
care are exercised as 10 exhibited nv
successful breeders of farm animals. Il
viii also degenerate with wonderful ia
cility under the management Of pioneer
wheat growers. After this careless cult.
ure becomes improbable, and probably
not until then, will the requisite means
for improvement be used.
