How far is there an open field for the cul-
ture of the grape and the production OF light
wines in this country may be judged from i.
the fact that the imports of light wines mtg
the United States, in the year 1873, amount
ed to 9.267. s6S gallons. OF this immense inn
port only about one-thirteenth part was OF
fancy or expensive wines, the other twelve
thirteenths being of the plain and inexpen-
sive wines, which the grape culturists Of
the United States ought to be able to pro-
duce, of as good quality and in as full guam
tity as the European vineyards. The light
wines thus imported, cheap as they are, cost
over g, ZOO, 900, which money might as well
have gone to the vine-growers of our own
country.

OF the most profitable as well as interesting

one lady bought four hives for $40, and in we

fused ii as not enough. In addition to this in

she sold twenty-five hives and 430 pounds of

man, from six colonies OF bees to start with,
cleared 5000 pounds of honey and fifty-four

In ST. Clair county, lII., farmer are
feeding their horses wheat instead OF
corn. Mr.. Mathews, of that county
writes to the Pruirjl Farmer that they
raise six acres of wheat to one Of corn;
and taking ten years together harvest
more bushels per acre. In short, q
busLel Of wheat costs less than one Of
corn, while we remark il Us worth per-
haps % per cent more for horse feed.
Mr.. Matthews zoaEs his wheat before
feeding. He says:
We usually mix 10 with cut straw
and our teams stand the work well,
blowing when the mercury is one
hundred i'm the shade. II is true they
sweat more than when fed Oh dry corn.
Wheat is selling here for 5l.OO per
bushel, and corn for 70 cents, and
scarce at that; but that is not all.
Corn will be selling before next spring
in many places, for as much as wheat,
beside farmers will have 10 sell wheat.
TO buy corn, and have 70 do the haul
ing both ways.
Many farmers here plant no corn, as
the experience Of the past ten years in
growing corn and wheat gives tn,
highest average in bushels per acre Il
wheat, besides making a breeding
place in the fall for chinch bugs.

A correspondent of the Ohj0 Farmer,
in speaking from experience, in refer
ence TO the fall seeding Of timothy,
says:
/ have practiced t to some extent,
and, all things considered, | regard it
as the best time. ! have never failed
to get a good stand the first year,
where sown either alone or with clover
succeeding this way much better than
when sowu with wheat or oats.
Iwould advise blowing and dragging
in August; then top dress with good
rotten manure. Then about the first
of September drag until your dressing
is well mixed with the surface earth
and all well pulverized, when / SOW
the seed broadcast, about six quarts
to the acre; then drag lightly. This
should make good start for clover

per acre in the month of March.
In addition to six quarts OF Glove
seed per acre, il would be great i'm
improvement to sow "a peck Of redto

Republican Joint Convention OF Grain

TURLBY's MIND, Sept. Il,

TURKEYS MILL, Sept. II, "a.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Our COnven-
ton that assembled at Turkeys Mill,
on last Saturday, was one representa-
tive of the true Republicans of our
counties. There was a combined har-
mony from all parties, and no "wire-
working" whatever carried on. Mr..
Haun was chosen by the Convention,
as man of unchallenged integrity
and fidelity to the party, and man,
who, if elected, will represent the
people in toto and not merely his own
interests. Every body is highly
pleased with the nominee, and many
are growing enthusiastic over the
choice, although he was not candi-
date until the morning of the COnven-
ton, and no Que had an idea of his
name being presented. Hamblen and
Granger will show the Republicans
| how to do their work, and there is no
doubt Except in the minds of other
candidates. but that the Squire will Wis
/ it Nashville in the interests of our pe0~
pie. Let the good Republican work
| go on.
