Iron Around Peach Trees.

At recent meeting of the American
Institute farmers Club, Mr.. Wagner,
who lives on Long Island, about so miles
east of New York, exhibited some pru-
ming from his orchard to illustrate the
effect of putting iron around trees.
He took an old place with 20 trees in
the orchard, full of dead limbs, with
yellow leaves, and the crotches oozing
thick gum. He gave the earth n good
top-dressing of iron, breaking up old
plows and stoves and scattering the
fragments. The effect has been mar
velous. The trees have renewed their
youth, and now look strong and thrifty.
The bark is tight, and the leaves all
green, and the borer has disappeared.
He thinks the Stag of iron-furnaces,
ground up and spread on orchards,
would prove a very valuable fertilizer
for fruit trees of ali kinds.

four large vessels from New York; one
large ship, three steamers and twenty

The Best Time for Pruning Grapes.
By Addison Kelley, Kelley's Island, o.

| have read the various articles in Til
tons Journal of Horticulture in regard
to the pruning of grape vines. | do not
propose to M6Orize upon the subject, but
to give the experience Of twenty years
for what it is worth. At first | sup
rosed that it was improper 10 trim in
the spring, when they bled the worst
the Germans, whom l mostly employed,
having Il prejudice against it. But
sometimes some parts of the vineyard
were trimmed at this supposed improper
time.
The closest observation I was able to
make discovered no bad result, and L
have never seen thai it made any differ
ence when the vines were trimmed from
the time the leaves were ripe in the fall
to as late as the Goth OF June. | seldom
get all my vines trimmed before the first
of June.
Since we have had the rot, | have in
some vineyards tried leaving the three
canes tire full length until August,
when, if no rot appeared, | cut oil the
surplus wood, but if the rot set in, have
left the whole vine, and got Il larger
yield than from vines short pruncu.
But where there was little or no rot, the
shortest pruned vines have uniform y
borne the DeSL crops. am clearly Oh
opinion the best time to trim is when
ever it is most convenient after the leaf
is dead in the fail to the first of June.
L have always root-pruned pretty Sc
verely, ploughing deep close up to the
vine, and cutting the roots in the first
hoeing in the spring III most OF my
vineyards; but L have also tried the
reverse, and must confess [ have not
been able to see much, ii any, differ
ence in the results. There are now
some seven To eight huudred acres here
in bearing. Some persons think that
spring trimming is hest, but do not
claim that they haye any facts to prove
it. II is true that some parts OF vine
yards have been trimmed in the fall
and did not bear "a well rs the part
trimmed in the spring, but The reverse
is also sometimes true. 1t is quite com
mon TO have one part OF II vineyard do
better than another one year, and the
the case reversed the next year. If Mr.
Byington or Mr.. Underhill will give us
facts instead of theory, | think it would
aid us more in the direction OF correct
conclusions than theorizing.-[T Tilton's

Since my return from the great South

had numerous inquiries in regard to this
new textile plant. My dispatches 10 the
press relating to it have been brief and
not sufficiently explicit to comprehend
the value of the staple.
Ramie is called by the botanist, De-

longs to the order of utercdcc0 or nettIe
family, and subOrder of urticeG or true
nettles. This genus is confined to warm
latitudes. There is one variety found in
Florida, and four different oues in
China, Japan, Sumatra and Java. 1t is
found in Corea and Japan as far north
as thirty-six degrees of latitude, and as
far south as ten degrees of latitude. It
was first brought to European notice in
1874, by the celebrated French natural
list Blume, member OF the Institute of
France, who, under the auspices of the
government, transferred plants from
Java to the Jdrdiyl Des Pialttes in Paris,
