Culture of the Grape.

A paper was read before the Michigan
Pathological Society, by A. Sigler of Adrian,
on the culture of the grape, from which we
extract the following practical directions,
which contains much in few words. He
first speaks of the management OF the foreign
grape:
In preparing the soil before setting the
vines, it has been my practice to spade the
earth about two feet deep and pulverize well.
If the soil is reasonably rich, use no manure
before setting. But after the vines have got
good start use manure freely on TIE sur
face of the earth and keep putting it OH year
ly, as it answers two-fold purpose, for
mulch and feeder. The treatment of the
vine the first year is to not let but one shoot
grow, and pinch that one off about the last
of August, so the wood will ripen ap to stand
our winter better. About the last of No
vember or the first of December, take the
vine from the trellis, trim il, and bend it
down and cover it from four to six inches
deep in the earth, and leave them in this
condition until the first or middle of Ap,i
Then uncover the vines and wash them off
clean with sOapsuds, or use force pump,
which answers very good purpose to wash
the dirt off and to moisten the buds so they
will develop more evenly. This should be
uoHe lTeqututly uutl Cuey are wen leaVeu
out. The second year let two shoots grow,
and treat them in the same manner as the
first year, and then to the third year, which
the anxious cultivator is looking to the open
ing of every bud to see if he is to be rev warded
for portion of his tolls, which lie is sure of
if heperforms his duty well. Ifyou slight
the grapevine it will remember you at the
harvest time with an indignant refusal to
give you one single cluster OF well-developed
fruit. So it is in every department of horti-
culture. The earlier we learn this lesson,
whatever is worth doing at all, is worth do
ing well.
After the third year, you have encouraged
the growth of the vine to its fullest capacity
in length, say eight or ten feet, which should
never be allowed to extend farther than this,
on any condition whatever, for fear of letting
it toverbear. The over-indulgent cutivator IS
is apt to spoil his fruit, and also the future
usefulness Of the vine, by over-taxation. l
have spoiled several of mine before | could
learn this sad lesson.
A few remarks upon the best varieties OF
native grapes for this latitude, perhaps. would
not be uninteresting to some. The first of
all the native varieties is the Concord, next
the Delaware; Hartford Prolific for early, but

A QUESTION OF THE UNDERSTANDINGS.
Stephen, n. b., is agitated over subject in
volviDg as to whether there are circumstances
under which child may be excluded from the
public schools unless the feet are shod. Ger
tain facts have led to an impression among the
people that barefooted children are liable to
expulsion. 1t seems, however, that certain
man in the town, who asserts his ability to
give his boy all the shoes he needs, has sent
the boy to school barefooted in order, as he ac.
knowledges, "to humble the teacher" who is
woman. Very properly the authorities hold
that the person in need Of humbling is the par
ent himself, and accordingly the boy has been
given vacation until the father comes to see
the need of better understanding in the case.

Milk as n Diet and its Effect on the

-l System. -ar
There is considerable difference of opinion
ON the subject of a milk diet. 1t is surround
ed with mass of whims, or prejudices, and
OF mistaken ideas, which are based more on
individual fancies than upon certain fact. To
one glass OF milk imbibed is believed to be
sure provocation of bilious attack; to an
other, dlsordered stomach to a third ,drows-
mess; and so on, through such category of
simple though disagreeabie ailments that we
look aghast at the farmer who drains cup af-
ter cup OF toe fresh, pure liquid, time and
again during the day, and wonder at the re-
sisting powers which his organization must
possess. The truth is, however, that milk is
not unwholesome. On the contrary, it con-
tans good, substantial bone, muscle, flesh
and brain producing substances, which, as
similating quickly, act rapidly in building up
the body. Naturally, we assert, it is nourish-
ing; that it does bring Oh certain troubles is
nevertheless true, but the cause IS in the in
dividual stomach, not in the milk, provided,
OF course, the latter be fresh and sweet. The
Commercial Adrertiser of recent date had
some excellent remarks on this subject which
are well worthy of repetition. 'Milk diluted
with one-third lime-water, it is said, ''will not
cause any one biliousness, and, if taken resu-
lary, will so strengthen the stomach as to
banish these disorders. 1t may be taken with
acid of some kind when it does net easily di-
gest. The idea that milk must not be eaten
with pickles is not an intelligent one, as milk
curdles in the stomach nearly as soon as it is
swallowed. When milk is constipating, as ii
is frequently found to be by persons who
drink freely of it in the country in the sum-
mer time, little salt sprinklei in each glass
full will prevent the difficulty. When it has
an opposite effect, a few drops of brandy in
each goblet of milk will obviate its purgative
effect. As milk is so essential to the health
of our bodies, it is we'll to consider when to
take it, and how. 1t is mistake to drink
milk between meals, or with food at the Ia
BILE. In the former case it will destroy the
appetite; and in the latter it is never proper
to drink anything. After finishing each
meal goblet of pure milk should be drank;
and if any one wishes to grow feshy, pint
taken before retiring at night will soon cover
the scrawniest bones. In cases of fever and
summer complaint milk is gwen with excel
lent results. The idea that milk is 'leverish'
has exploded, and it is now the physicians
great reliance in bringing through typhoid
patients, or those in too low a state to be
nourished by solid fOod.''

The record Is made up. and the issue be-
tween the two parties is 20 clearly defined
that he who runs may read the tale Of Dem
ocratic infimy and Republican integrity.
From the outset Of the agitation regarding
this subject the indications have plainly
pointed to this result. The President, In
his annual, as well Is in special messages,
has spoken the belief Of the party of which
he is the acknowledged head in those prin-
ciples which alone can obtain for the people
immunity from their troubles. A Republi-
can Congress has inaugurated the move
ment Of response to the demands for relief
and the Democracy has placed itselfsquarely
and fairly in opposition to- It, The end is
so plainly to be seen, in repeated and more
distinct reputation Of the monopolists and
their supporters by the people. as to con- |
firm the belief that an especial Providence
has ordained the Democratic party to be
inflicted with perverse and wicked blind
ness to its own interests, as well Is to the
interests of the country.
