Financial Embarrassment.

The cause of this general distress in
the financial status of our county is
mainly traceable to the fact that most
OF the surplus money of our capital
lists is invested in bonds instead Of be-
ing put to practical use in the re-
moval of the surplus products of the
county, and unless our men of means
cease thus to bury their capital in
bonds, and that speedily, the time is
! not distant when we shall be placed
at the mercy of foreign money sharks
for the removal of the surplus pro-
ducts of the country-compelled to
take such prices as they may offer, or
let the same rot upon our hands, A
more ruinous and suicidal policy on
the part of men of capital, in our
judgment, could not well be devised.
Our whole county is now almost on
the verge of financial ruin, and I'M
less an effective remedy is speedily
acted upon, many of our most ener-
getic and hitherto prosperous bus
ness men, farmers, tradesmen, mer-
chants and Others, will be driven into
bankruptcy, not from the want Of
ability TO pay, but for the want Of a
little ready cash to liquidate immedi-
ate demands, which sums they are
unable TO borrow, either from the
Banks or individuals, on the best of
paper, simply because the surplus cap
ital of the county is buried in Bonds,
and just as efiectually buried, so far
as the commerce of the country is con-
oerned, as though sunk in the bottom
of the Mississippi river. We hone
the men ofcapital in our county will
take these suggestions under advise
ment, and see whether or not our
conclusions are corroborated by the
facts.-HopkiRSriLIe Conservative.

Pruning the Crane Vine.

Considering the extreme cold
weather which has prevailed during
the past cold winter, and that it is
now time the vines were pruned, the
propriety of cutting them back more
than usual should at once be taken
into consideration. Undoubtedly the
vines are more or less injured, and
in the absence of even positive man
ifestations of the injurious effects of
the cold, it will be the best plan to
cut back to a greater extent than
usual, especially if one expects TO re-
new the vines.
The method for ascertaining
whether the buds are injured, was
so clearly set forth that by the expert
enced vineyardist, Mr.. +. Muench,
on page 81 of our last issue, that We
deem it unnecessary to repeatit Or
dinarily the cuttings would be of
some value, but this spring, where
they were not prepared in early win
ter, or where they have not been at
least partially covered with litter
during the past winter, il would be
folly TO take the trouble to plant
them out.
All nuserymen are aware that cut
tings should be made of the desired
length and be heeled-in during the
winter.
In pruning, the proportions be-
tween the root and the vine must be
maintained. In cutting back, seek
for some active eyes of the previous
years growth as near the ground as
possible. Cutting off too much of
the old vine often kills them entirely.
Vines that have been neglected,
should be headed back gradually.
For what may be termed ordinary
pruning, leave from three to eight or
ten eyes on good thrifty canes of last
wears growth. Be sure to tie the
vines to the stakes or trellis before
the buds blossom. They should be
tied up at once, As soon as they are
pruned.
AS we have before said, the true
principle of pruning the vine is, to
do il before the sap Is in motion, cut
ting as low as possible and in such a
way as to secure the proper amount
of good wood of last years growth.
Should you be a novice in respect to
the arrangement of your vines, you
will do well TO go to some neighbour
ing vineyardist.
