Thinning Out Grapes.

Is the Importance of thinnin" out
the fruit of the vine duly considered
bv the majority of cultivatOrs:
think not. From close observation,
and even sad experience, the subject.
in my opinion, calls for much moro
attention than is usually given. In
Young vines this is particularly the
case. Such vigorous and hardy cOnsG-
tutcd varieties as the Concord Giay
stand il. but even they will cvCntu-
ally suffer. This fault is not only To
be found in The vineyards OF the no
vice. but can be seen almost every
where. i'm charge of those who know
better. This, then. being admitted.
the next question is: How shall it
DC rcmctlicd? Shall we prunc il so
much shorter, 80 Us not 10 leave more
wood than the vino can carry safely
through, or leave more wood and then
thin out the lunches! The latter, in
NV opinion. will he the best: for. by
the first plan. we get our, fruit too
much crowded and throw too much
force into the young canes for the fol-
lowing years bearing. My impress
sion Is tliat WHICH IL WHO - l,iuhcu ~
what would seem about right, the
pinching out of every third bunch, at
the first operation. pinching back
would be the method. would leave
but two lunches Oh each bearing
shoot. and in some instances ii Is bet
ter TO leave but one. We all know
the formin. of the seed of any fruit
is the heay lest tax on the plant. This
being the case. do We not give con-
siderable relief when VIC diminish
this tax onc-third? think we would
be safe in counting on having the
same weight of fruit in the two
punches MS if three are left. Some
years ago we grew Concord punches
in this way, which the committee
who were to test them would not adj
nit to be that variety until they tested
them. For marketing table grapes
this is particularly practicable. For
instance, let man take ConcOrds that
will average three-fourths of a pound
to the bunch, and another have them
as usually grown, and my word for it,
the large punches will command near
ly double price, not only among the
wealthy but the masses,-Grape C~t-

Sowing Corn for Fodder.

A correspondent of the RerM Ne,r ]or-
ker adopts a mode of furrOwing for the
drills by using two horses and common
pillow, the ground being first plOwed and
narrowed in the ordinary manner. The
first furrOw extends around the whole
field at the outside. For the next, the
near horse walks i'm the fnrrow. and the
team continues going around until the
centre is reached and the whole field fur
rowed. This operation leaves about Is
inches between the drills. The weight
Of the plow alone will cause it to sink
about three inches, which is deep
enough. The corn is strewed along the
burrows by hand, at the rate of three
bushels per. acre, and then covered by
narrowing. A one-horse cultivator
with the side teeth removed is passed
between the rows when the corn is up,
killing the weeds and ridging the rows.
The nearness Of the rows to each other
would doubtless give larger crops by
this mode, than when they are three feet
apart.

The Tobacco Trade of louisville wishes TO
call the attention of Farmers and dealers
throughout Kentucky and other States to the
great advantages this market offers for the
sale ofalI kinds of Leaf Tobacco.
Louisville has the largest number of dry
ing houses, Stemmeries, and manufacturers
in the West, the number OF buyers Is greater
than In any market; warehouse facilities are
unsurpassed; auctions are not tempOrary-of
few months duration, but continue through
out the year. The importance of Louisville
as the great Inland Central Tobacco Market,
is best shown by the fact that we have sold
during the past season 80, I'D hogsheads in
public auction, and yet the supply was not
equal to the demand. We needed particular
ly large additional supplies of Cutting Leaf
of all grades from Lugs to choice. We are
aware that the impression exists that our
dealers are prejudicee against Mason and
Brackin county descriptions OF Tobacco, but
take this occasion to state that we desire
large shipments of these descriptions OF Ieaf
from the Farmers and County dealers direct
and our increased competition warrants US
in assuring all shippers who Will give our
market a fair trial, the highest possible mar
ket prices for every description OF Leaf. We
cannot urpe too strongly the careful assOrt-
ing and prizing of all Tobacco-the coarse
and green 10 itself, and the fine fibre, good
arate 10 itself. We most cordially invite To-
bacco raisers everywhere, and especially
those who have not lately given us q trial

oes our market affords. Our facilities are
much increased, and arrangements have
been made for larger trade than any previous
