The Harvest Is Past, the Summer Il
Ended.

More literal than inspiration would
have it, is this saying true, horicultu.
rally speaking" The harvest is past,
the summer is ended" With us, it is
no sad wall of despair, bemoaning neg
lected-and nevertoreturn-opportu.
mites No, sir, it is with right good
cheer, and with not little exultation
and congratulation, that | shout, The
harvest is past, the summer is ended
Yes, and am heartily glad Of IT,"
Now, comes time of comparative
quiet and rest to the horticulturist. The
harvest has been abundant; the sum-
mer has been long and full of labors,
and rest is grateful and much needed.
Shall we enjoy it? Aye, and profit by it.
Men are not beasts of burden, to sweat
and toll forever without hope. We do
not live simply to eat and drink, pillow
and SOW, buy and sell. There are pleas.
ures and employments of the mind.
The soul hath reveries of Immortality
and Of coming time, when we shall be
not as we now are.
Our vineyards and orchards and corn
fields have importance in our present
relations to them and it is right and
necessary to care for them-but to dull
and exhaust precious life upon them is
not good or necessary, or christian. And
now that the harvest Is, in the main,
past and the summer ended, there
should be letting up" SO to speak

cumstances and a life of comparative
leisure will permit.

year round, shall not dispute his right
to choose his course; but do, and must
question the wisdom of his conduct.
Labor is most honorable, and il is bet

that day is past when men may parade,
as a virtue, destruction of health and
life through excessive toll, in any direc,

sin to make it pleasurable as well as
fruitful and useful.

Homemade Wine.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph furnishes the following reci,-e
for making home made wine from grapes,
which he pronounces to be excellent.
1t is for FIVE gallons: Express the juice
from twenty pounds of grapes, rinse the
pulp and skins in as much water as will
cover them, mash them and strain
through a coarse cloth, add this to the
juice and Tut in two pounds of brown
sugar to each gallon when the sugar is
dissolving, pour the whole into keg,
having the bung open, and let it stand
where the temperature will be about
seventy degrees until fermentation ceases 4;
then bung tight and let it rest for a
month to settle, when it should be drawn
Off quietly, the keg well washed, and the
wine returned to it, adding one pound
of good raisins; and if the wine does
not seem sweet enough two pounds OF
sugar may be added to the whole. The
necessity OF doing this depends upon
the kid and quality of the grapes
The wine should remain until the keg
is wanted the next season, when it may

How to Gather Fruit.

Fruit should never be gathered dur.
ing damp weather, nor when heavy
dew is upon it in the early morning.
1t is poor policy to shake fruit from the
tree it will almost surely decay from
the effect of bruising. Even the slight
est abrasion of the skin is the sure fore.
runner of a dark spot, which will eventu-
ally change into some kind of rot. If
possible, each specimen should be taken
singly from the tree and handled with
the utmost care. Grapes should always
be severed from the vine with strong
scissors, and never twisted or broken
of. If peaches are gathered before at.
tanning full size, they will not have a
fine flavor, but it is not necessary to
delay picking them until they are mel
low. Scarcely any variety of the larger
fruits color or ripen as well if left to
perfect themselves on the tree, and this
is especially true Of pears.

MuIclling.

Mulching is too often not properly
appreciated or neglected from some
cause. Strawberries should not only be
mulched just before fruiting but should
be wellmulchedi in the fall just before the
ground freezes, and you will not COM
plain of your vines being all frozen out
or dead in the spring. All newly planted
trees, shrubs, and evergreens should be
well mulched as soon as possible. Three
or four inches of short straw, hay, light
manure, or litter of any kind will an
swer TO keep the hot sun from drying
out the moisture Of the soil, which favors
the formation of new roots, instead of
being parched up, as is too often the
case it also prevents the growth OF
weeds. Mulching is often beneficial in
saving a crop of peaches, by retarding
their early opening until the late frosts
are over.

How TO Plant Apple Trees.

1t is astonishing how much diversity
of opinion there is and has been, about
the distance apart to plant apple trees.
After an experience of fifteen years,
would plant apple trees not less than
twenty.four feet apart, from that to thir.
ty-two feet. Apple trees planted six.
teen feet apart, when they get large
enough to bear, are found by experience
10 be entirely too near each other, the
limbs interlock, and it is difficult to get
through the orchard with wagon and
the want of light and room causes
the leaves TO fall from the lower Limits,
and the other trees become unhealthy.
Young orchards should be cultivated
like a corn field until the trees begin to
hear. and there is no better crop to grow
among young trees than corn. Let the
row of trees have the ground of the row
10 themselves, and then cultivate the
row of trees the same as row OF corn,
hut let it stand, as it forms protection

Progress OF Agriculture.

Our increase in all the chief articles
OF agricultural produce during the last
decade, as shown by the census report,
is something enormous.
Wine has increased fourteen-fold since
1850, and nearly doubled in the last
decade, California being its chief pro-
Queer.
Hops have increased sevcn.fold in
the same time, and more than doubled
in the last ten years, New York growing
two-thirds of the whole crop.
Barley has increased six-fold.
Flax six fold, and haxseed trebled.
Wheat trebled, and oats doubled.
Irish potatoes have only increased
one.third, and sweet decreased one half.
Live stock have trebled in valae, and
nov amount to the handsome total of
one thousand five hundred and twenty
five millions of dollars, or an average OF
nearly two hundred dollars for every
family in the nation.
Animals slaughtered have nearly
qnadrupled in value, now amounting to
four hundred millions of dollars an
nually.
Wool has increased from sixty to one
hundred millions of pounds.
Cotton is half million of bales above
what it was in 1850, and three-ffths OF
its amount in 1860.
In only one instance is there de-
crease of an important product, and that
is in Indian corn, which falls short OF the
amount reported in 1860 by seventy.
eight millions of bushels, or ten per
cent. of the whole.
In some of the lesser products, how
ever, the downcome is considerable
Silk cocoons are only third OF their
former amount; hemp a sixth; peas
and beans and rice about third each.
Buckwheat has decreased from seven
teen millions of bushels to nine, and
rye from twenty-one millions of bushels
TO sixteen.
