There might nav: been time

M IN aavan' nc individual prosperity,
ou' :, this day when progress is
.amped on nearly everything we
see around us, enterprise is the most
effective aid man can employ if he
desires to make name and con-
quer the obstacles that intcrpose
between him and wealth. In the
mechanical branches in the manu-
features, as in every other depart
ment of business, We see that
enterprise, energy and vigilance,
achieve success. If this is true of
other pursuits, it should be equally
true Of agriculture, the great foun-
dation pursuit, to which commerce,
manufactures and all other interests
look to for support. Why should
farmers as a class, of all other men,
be content to stand still while all
the rest Of the world is rushing past
them? Why should they plod along
in the ruts Of past years, satisfied
with the old methods and of max
ing both ends meet" when the in
fusion of a little enterprise into their
operations, would enable them to
avoid many vexatious errors, to
make more from their labor and to
live easier. The fault Of too many
farmers is a lack Of enterprise
They are scrupulously honest, work
ing hard all the year, and saving
every penny earned, but in their
old age they are but little better
eff than they were twenty years
before.
Providence is virtue, but over
cautiousness is drawback, for it
deters men from awaiting themselves
oi improvements and discoveries
that would greatly benefit them. a
new invention, an improved nipple
ment, some laEor-saying machine or
new variety Of seed or fruit, find
but little favor with some men until
every one else around them has
demonstrated their value by actual
trial. We commend a proper de
gree Of caution in taking up with
new things, in view of the disastrous
speculations that has swept the
country, but an intelligent farmer
can exercise his Judgment and de-
termine upon the merit Of any ma
chine submitted, and u small guam
tity Of the new seed may be taken
on trial. Invest only to an extent
where the loss, if loss cnsucs, will
not injurc much, and while all in
ventions or varieties introduced
may not prove profitable, the cxpe-
rience of the past few years suffi-
ciently proves that many of them
are undoubtedly valuable.-Whcre
nothing at all is riskcd there will
not be anything gained, and the
man who is always on the alert, who
is well informed, with an indcpend-
ent. rejecting mind, will not be
often deceived. 1t should always
he borne in mind that there is al
amending active competition now
in farming as in every other pursuit
and he who would be successful
must be on the lookout to secure all
the assistance he can procure, all
the advantages that science, invcn-
tive genius, and reserch offer, to
make his labors profitable and to
enhance the, fertility Of his land

Soil for Grape Vines.

A paper read before the Horticultural
Congress Of Manchester, England, gives
some interesting facts concerning the prop
er soil for grape vines. Where planted in
soil which contained an unusual proper
ton Of magnetism lime, they apparently
did well. The fruit promised to be fne
until it finished stoning, when it ceased to
swell, often decreased in size, shrivelcd,
and was deficient in saccharine matter aud
aroma. Another border of the same gar
den had sod from old red sandstone for
matiop entirely without lime and composed
Of salica, alumma, aud organic matter,
formed of decayed herbage. This vine
produced fruit perfect in every way, some
of the berries measuring four inches in
cireum farence. In the winery only q top
dressing of manure was used, with sill
cious soil. The injurious effects were
probably produced by magnesia, but at
auy ratio the authors experience shows
that grapes succeed in soils belonging to
that geological formation known as the old
red sandstone, bat do not succeed on mag
nesian SOIL The presence of limestone,
however, does not indicate un6tness for
all kinds Of grapes, for it is very well
known that in this country large tracts
everything limestone formations are capa-
BILE Of producing grapes in great excellence
and variety 1t is. futile to search for
grapes which win do we'll everywhere, aud
the above experience certainly proves the
necessity Of close observation Of soils on
ihe part Of grape ,culturists.

What Sleep Will Cure.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food. Not that it is more
imp6ftant, bat it often is harder to get.
The best rest comes from sound slumber
OF two men or women, otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the best viii he most
mcr.h, Efficient aud healthy. 3l..t..
Sleep will do much to cure irritability
Of temper, peevishncss, uneasiness. 1t
will cure insanity. 1t will restore to vigor
an oyer.worked brain. 1t will build up
and make strong weak body. 1t will
do much to cure dyspepsia, especially that
variety known as nervous dyspepsia. It
will relieve the languor and prostraion
felt by consumptivcs. 1t will cure hypo-
choudria. 1t will cure the tlucs. 1t will
cure the headache. 1t will cure the
hoartache. 1t will cure the neuralgia. 1t
will cure sorrow. And indeed We might
make long list of nervous malsdies that
sleep will cure.
The ;cureof slceplcssuess, however, is not
so easy, particularly in those who carry
grave responsibility. The habit of sleep

powerful drugs, so deranges the nervous
system that sleep is never sweet after it.
Or perhaps long continued watchfulness
produces the same effect; or hard study,
or too little exercise of the muscular sys-

required:
