OFFICE ALEXANDRIA WATER CO.,
" May 18th, 1872.
The unprecedented early commencement of
general and severe drought has excited the APP
prehension of a short supply of water, and calls
for preventive measures on the part of Its 9TH
GERS to provide against all unnecessary waste by
consumers.
1t is the earnest request of the President and
Directors to heads of families that no unneces-
sary waste shall be permitted, and that servants
and children shall shut off hydrants as soon as
possible when used.
Especial attention is called to the use of wash
pans and bath-tubs both fruitful sources ofwaste.
The rules and regulations of the Company,
under its charter, provide fines and penalties for
any and all unnecessary waste, and it becomes
the imperative duty Of the officers, especially
under the condition of a scant SUPPLY to enforce
these wholesome regulations upon all offenders.
\ deficiency of this indispensable article to
housekecpers induces us to hope that we shall
be sustained in our efforts to prevent all caste,
while furnishing all parties with necessary
supply for domestic purposes.

The Concord Grape.

Objections are frequently make to
the Concord grape, on account of its
acidity. 1t is very easily accounted
for by the fact that too much fruit
is allowed to grow upon the vines.
The idea sometimes advanced, that
the vine or fruit should not be
pruned at all, has been proved in
correct by the experience Of the
most practical vlne-dressers. This
variety has been fnlly tested as a
table grape, and its superior merits
have been demonstrated. If it is
properly cultivated it is best for
general culture, and takes the lead
in vigor and adaptability of any
that is now grown in the open air
in this section of country.
Vines that have been planted
four years and are perfectly healthy
and vigorous, will, if rightfully
pruned, bear from forty to sixty
punches Of grapes annually. One
half of the clusters should be re-
moved soon after the fruit sets. BY
this method the fruit will ripcn
some two or three weeks in advance
of vines upon which all of it is
allowed to grow. Older vines will
produce like results under the same
treatment. TO improve the flavor
Of the fruit, place it on carthcn-
ware in II wcll-vcntilated cellar for
several weeks. by this means its
acid properties will be changed,
and it will then have more of the
saccharine matter, which is 4 most
desirable quality in fine fruit.
1t will be found that this grape
can be grown in this manner with a
fair prospect of profit to those who
cultivate it for the market, as its
value would be greatly inclined to
pay a fair price for choice fruit,
rather than to purchase that of an
inferior quality at u cheaper rate.
Here, then, is one important require
ment to grow first class-fruit.-
