Storing Farm Implements.

Iwent into Swamscot's Toulouse yes
terday to get out of the rain. His grass
is cut, and he will have no further use
for his mower. The orthodox way of do
ing with mower, on many farms, is to
unhitch it from the place where the last
hay cutting was done, and leave it in the
field. Swamscot must he a hereticl

that's the way I make money. I've used
that mower six Summers, and it's better
mower to-day than Joe Peet's that he
bought last year; his lay in the field until
November, and was then put into an
open shed where the sheep ran and the
hens roasted. 1t was a nice looking
object this Spring, and | know that he

How to Keep Grapes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Central Union
Ag7Sculturist gives the following rules for
keeping grapes:
Place the grape where it will be neither
too dry nor too moist, too warm nor too
cold.
AS to temperature, the nearer freezing
the better, so long as it is above freezing.
Too much moisture will breed mold
and spoil the flavor of those that do not
rot. Contact with decayed or broken
grapes will spoil the berries they touch.
Too much warmth, if air is not exclud.
ed, will dry the fruit and make raisins,
if the fruit is good enough. If the air is
excluded the fruit will spoil, if too warm.
Hence we infer that grapes to keep should
not be packed.
Put up the fresh clusters in boxes, two
or three layers deep, upon cotton, paper
or grape leaves between layers. Light
wood boxes are best. Let the size be gov.
erned by your own taste. If for market.
ing, use those that will hold from two to
four pounds.
In handling the clusters, touch the
stem only. Contact with the hand takes
off the bloom; besides there is danger of
bruising. Handle carefully. The boxes
ought to be covered.
People have been taught to wax the
end of the stem. There is little use in
this. If grapes are of variety that will
keep well, the peduncle lays fast hold on
the pulp, and is kept fresh by the grape.
A little drying of the fruit causes the pc.
duncle to whittier and break from the
berry. Grapes separated from the cluster
soon decay.
Observe, if when you draw a berry
from the cluster it brings out the peduncle
from the centre, it promises to keep we'll.
Tenacity to the stem is your criterion.
The stronger the hold of the berry the
better it will keep.
Then, for keeping, tough skin is nee

ton or motion, that was devoid of mem
ory, would be an idiotic center and incap-
able of education. So far from memory
being faculty peculiar to the mind, it is,
as MIR. Paget has suggested, a property of
every tissue of the body. The scar of a
cut is one evidence that the tissue recol-
lects the injury it has received. The
whole system remembers an attack of
smallpox.
While we may add that memory is a
function of every tissue, nevertheless its
highest development is in the greatest
nerve-center of brain. Impressions re-
ceived in times long pastm may here remain
dormant almost for lifetime. Con-
seriousness and the utmost effort of the
will may be powerless to arouse them, but
sooner or later the poison of fever, the
horror of dream, or the agony of drown
ing may in a moment dissipate the cloud,
and in an instantaneous flash the scenes
of long forgotten act appear as vividly
and as really as when they are first enact
ed. 1t may even be, as De Quincy has
suggested, that the opening of the book
at the day of judgment shall be the un-
rolling of the scroll of memory.-Ndture

[Extracts from Recent Speech of Senator Morton
at Indianapolis.
But running all through the two speeches
OF Governor Brown, while formerly profess
ing regard for the political and civil rights
OF the colored people, is a very manifest and
persistent appeal to the old prejudice OF the
white man against the negro.
Despairng of getting any portion of the
colored vote, he attempts to excite the ha-
tired and jealousy of the white race against
the colored by pretending that there is a
deep-laid scheme to make the white man
subordinate to the negro, to humiliate the
white race by the elevation of the black to
power, and SO on ad nda1sea,,s. Leaving out
of these speeches few formal phrases in
tended to protect them from the charge of
Brick-Pomeroy-Bourb they are such
speeches as might have been made by Mr..
Hendricks and Mr.. Voorhees, year or two
ago, and are direct appeals to the hatred
and to the lowest passions of the white
against the black race. ''To this complexion
has it come at last''-the candidate for the
Vice-Presidency invokes that spirit of hate,
caste and bigotry which places inscriptions
over wagons loaded with young ladies

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

In sixty-four they cursed and swore,
Though weak and rotten to the core;
Twas fight and run, and rant, rant, rant;
Fhe only name that bore the blame,
That lost their cause and brought them shame,
Was (then as now thai Grant! Grant, Grant!
In sixty-eight. with bitter hate,
Although twas getting rather late,
They screeched aloud, 'He shan't shan't
shan't!,'
But what to do the loyal knew;
And I'm not sorry nor you,
For voting for that Grant, Grant, Grant,
Why should we be for don't you see
The land beams with prosperity,
And Greeley's chance is scant, scant scant?
For us no waste, no laws disgraced;
We've ate the pudding, like the taste,
And want some more of Grant, Grant, Grant,

Maudsley thinks this cannot be the case,

Wheat after Clover.

If there is no tough sod, but tolerably
clean clover lay, the soil may be pretty
well fitted for wheat by plowing once after
harvest, and working the surface thor
oughly. The clover may be pastured
or moved. This method of prepar-
ing the land for wheat is practiced
quite largely by English farmers,
and very successfully, too. 1t will
work well here If previous culti-
vation has enriched and cleared the land
so that weeds will not choke the grain,
and will find in the soil sufficient food
But if the land is both foul and poor, it
is course not to be recommended If
possible, it is best to refrain from either
pasturing or moving the clover previous
to plowing it in, but let the full growth
remain on the ground during the summer,
thus shading it and retaining its moisture
When in full bloom it is good plan to
roll or harrow it down, when the5 new
growth will start quicker and the shade
become denser. Soil thus shaded will
plow much more loosely, and be in finer
condition for wheat, than if it had been
exposed to the sun by close pasture or
moving. If the farmer can afford to use
his clover crop to thus protect his land, it
is quite as likely to yield as much profit
eventually, as it would either made into
hay or fed off by stock.-Cdndda Farmer.

A BITTER CoNTRovERsY.-Thet temper
ance organs are waging bitter war on the
manufacturers of alcoholic bitters, and
their attacks are resented with equal bit
terness by the latter, who seem determin-
ed to prosecute the quarrel to the bitter
end. In the meantime novelty in tonic
medicines is making immense progress in
the confidence of all classes and condi-
tions of society throughout the United
States and British America. We refer to
DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs, and we call it a novelty in tonics
because it contains no alcohol-an article
heretofore considered essential in medici-
nal invigorants. The abstemious portion
of the community approve the omission.
and as the new remedy is curing dyspep-
sia, biliousness, nervous affections, and,
in fact, a majority of the diseases, exter-
nal and internal, which prevail, it is diff
cult to see how the more self-indulgent
portion of our fellow-citizens can con-
scientiously object to it. One thing is
certain if ever there was what the French
call "grand success" the sudden and
continually increasing popularity of the
VINEGAR BTTTERs deserves that name.
The advocates of temperance point to the
salutary effects produced by this inalco-
holic restorative as prooftlat spirituous
stimulants are not needed for medicinal
purposes-a position which has been
recently taken by many eminent medical
practitioners.

has been more or less responsible Tor the many
calamities and misfortunes for which our people
have suffered. We cannot consistently, though
