The following we clip from an exchange,
who publishes it as from A. Kelley, the
noted vintner of Kelley's Island, Ohio, and
if from him, is good authority on grape
culture:
"At first supposed that it was improp-
or to trim in spring, when they bleed the
worst, the Germans, whom | mostly EN-
ployed, having prejudice against it. But
were trimmed at this supposed improper
time.
"rhe closest observation | was able to
make discovered no bad result, and have
never seen that it made any difference
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 the full length until August, when,
if no rot appeared, l cut off the surplus
wood but if the rot sets in, | have left the
whole vino, and got larger yield than
from vines short pruned. But where there
was little or no rot, the shortest pruned
vines have uniformly borne the best crops
| am clearly of the opinion that the best
time to trim is whenever it is most conve.
nient after the leaf is dead in the fall tc
the first of June.
81 have always root-pruned pretty
severely, blowing deeply, close up to tn,
vine, and cutting the roots in the first hoeins
in the spring in the most of my vineyards
but have also tried the reverse, and mus
confess | have not been able to see much
if any, difference in the results. There ar
now some seven or eight hundred acre
here in bearing. Some persons think tina
spring trimming is best, but do not claiu
that they have any facts to prove it. 1t
true that some parts of vineyards hav
been trimmed in the fall, and did not bea

but the reverse is also sometimes true.
is quite common to have one part of vine
yard do better than another one year, an
the case reversed another year."

GglLD.s SIGNAL.

Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
THAT was the signal the engineer
THAT was The signal that Guild, Ills said
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town, ana thehce'
Out in the night,
On to the light
Down past the farms, lying white, he sped!
As n husbands greeting, scant no doubt,
Vet to the woman looking out,
Watching and waiting, no serenade,
Love song or midnight roundelay
Said what that whistle seemed to say: .
ITO my trust true
So love TO you
Working or waiting, Good night ~ it said.
Brisk Young bagmen, tourist fine,
Old commuters along the line,
Brakemen and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows of Provi-
dence-
Nothing amiss
Nothing lit is
Only Guild calling his wife," they said.
Summer and Winter, the old refrain
Rang DER the pillows of ripening gram,
Pierced through the budding boughs o'eileau,
Flew down the track when the red leaves
burned
Like living Goals from the engine spurned;
Sang as it flew
ITO our trust true,
First of all Duty-Good night" it said.
And then, one night, it was heard no more,
From Stonngton over Rhode Island shore,
And the folk in Providence smiled and said,
AS they turned in their beds, THE engineer
Has once forgotten his midnight cheer"
one only knew
To his trust true
Guild lay under his engine, dead.

warrenton to EIarrisonsurg.

From our Travelling Correspondent
HARRIsoNBURG April 2S.
On the line of the Manassas Railroad, at
some distance from Warrenton, towards
Front Royal, substantial stone walls, as
fences, begin to appear; these the armies
could not burn down. Frequently big piles
Of stone, picked off of the fields, appear
Piled snugly away so as not to interfere
with cultivation of the fields; in other
cases, they lie scattered all over the fields,
much in the way; and rails are used for
fences now, this does not look quite wise
like, as the work of cutting timber and maxi
ing those rails, would have been enough to
pick up, and lay up the stones into
wall sufficient for fence, and would have
gone great way toward cleaning the
fields as we'll as making them use in
stead of hindrance.
From Strasburg to Harrisonburg, we
pass,-along the line of the W. G. V. M.
and G. w. Railroad many thriving and
pretty villages, as Edinburg, Mt. jackson,
Woodstock, New Market, Timberville, and
some others which will be noticed more
fully in subsequent letters. This line and
valley is along the Shenandoah river, be-
tween the Massanutten and North Noun
tains, advanced spurs, on the east, of the
Allegheny range. All along massive
lodges and beds, of the best limestone, are
seen cropping out, and it is easy to be quar-
ried, for roads, cement, or for lands.
Along this section we begin to meet those
large substantial barns, so Characteristic
of the true, thorough, and thrifty farmer !;
heavy, strong horse.teams were at work,
to the pillow and to the harrow; fence
corners and fields looked clean the wheat
is quite promising, and generally put in
with drills. The pastures and meadows
look quite luxuriant, and many cattle and
sheep are seen feeding on them. Several
small vineyards were seen, and some
hop-yards. Apple orchards are in hand
some bloom, but the peaches are gene
rally failure here. On the farms, the
people are plainly but comfortably dress
ed, mostly in homespun. But in the viii
lagos it is different; the extravaganza of
style seems to reign supreme, as in east
ern towns one old farmer remarked-"It
seems like that fashion is like the measles
its taking, everywhere they catch 'em
in town, and city, and all over the coun-
try, pretty much the same"
have had an interesting conversation
with veteran farmer, of fifty years. ex-
perience and he stated a very correct fact
or principle land is all the better
for being sheltered or covered where a
board has lain some time, or where leaves
or straw have covered the ground awhile,
it produces all the better;" that's true,
and is another argument in favor of lib
eral mulching, or top-dressng lands.
