SCRAPING FRUIT TREES. Oc-
tober and November are the two best
months, and April and May the next best,
of the year for scraping and washing fruit
trees-apples and pears. There is nothing
better as a ''wash" with which to scrub
the trees than preparation of one pound
Of whale oil soap to alarge bucket of water,
well dissolved. There is nothing more
nauseous to the insect than this. 1t will
lay ''cold' ,everything that we have tried
it on but the circulio; that however, cares
no more for the mixture, even though ac-
companied with sulphur, lime water and
tobacco juice, than if it were gingerly
dose of spring water. But rose bugs and
the steel blue grape-bugs surrender TO it's
power incontinently. Every farmer and
gardener ought to have a supply of this
soap on hand for use whenever necessary.
Apple and pear trees, we'll scraped and
then washed with the preparation, will
not only be freed from some of the chief
insects preying upon foliage and fruit,
but will sensibly feel its invigorating
effects.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

RECIPE FOR MAKING WlNE.-The
following is furnished the " American
Farmer by lady. 1t is the recipe of a
gentleman of Baltimore county, Nd.
whose wine has attracted no little celeb
rity in that vicinity:
Gather the grapes OH dry day, when
! free from rain OF dew.
| Pick the berries from the stems, rejecting
all that are green OF decayed.
Mash them and place them in vat, tank
or other vessel to ferment, closing the top
of the vat as tightly as possible with
blanket OF wet cloth to exclude the air.
Let them remain in the vat from twenty
four hours to three or four days. If light
wine is desired, for most grapes twenty
four hours is long enough. If deeply-col-
ored and astringent wine is desired, three
OF four days will not be too long.
Press the must and put the juice into
kegs OF barrels, first adding sugar, or sugar
and water, as may be desired. 1t is very
difficult to give directions for this, so much
depends upon the character and ripeness
of the grape, and the dryness of the sea-
son. Sometimes | add no water, sometimes
only one pound Of sugar to the gallon
This year shall make (of Concords) some
with pure juice with one pound of sugar,
and some by adding, as recommended by
Husmann, one gallon of water, in which
have been dissolved two pounds of white
sugar to each two gallons of Juice. The
ClintonsI will probably make by adding
one pound of sugar to each gallon OF pure
juice.
The kegs or barrels in which the wine is
put should have bungs fitted with small
tin tubes like an OK yoke, one end passing
through the bung and the other end de-,
scending into vessel of water. This will
permit the carbonic acid to escape from
the wine, and prevent the atmospheric air
from getting into it. AS soon as all the
carbonic acid has escaped, as will be known
by the air bubbles ceasing to rise in the
water, fill the kegs as full as they will hold
and bung up tight.
About the last of December or early in
January the wine should be transferred in
to clean barrels.
1t must be remembered that my aim is
to put into the grape, Juice only so much
sugar as will be converted into alcohol,
and to have no surplus solution. Others
who are fond of sweet wines should there
fore add more sugar.
Let the grapes hang until perfectly ripe
before picking. The ripper the grape the
richer and SWeeter the wine.
In filling up the casks use wine from an
rther which has been fermented, &C., in
the same manner and kept for the pur-
pose.
| use and 10 gallon kegs on account of
the facility of handling.

will pass ioso the history of Wisconsin pol
'tics . memorable proof tina. the n.ost
persistent fidelity Of delegates to candidates
need not necessarily break the perfect
harmony Of the whole in its FINAL results.
1t was the scene of the most obstinate
strife for local preference that ever charac-
serized q political convention in this or
any other State, within the scope of our
observations. There was not the slightest
appearance of bad temper among delega te-,
with the singIe exception Of one, Tim Cliff.
ford, Of the town Of Scott, Sheboygan Co.,
whose subsequent explanations to the Con-
vention were accepted as satisfactory.
This enigma (Clsord) stated in open
Convention that man was curions animal
The question was not debated, az none
foresaw the pecessity of . Darwin in at
tendance. Yet there stood the gibberisb
thing, of his own naming, living yerte-
brate Of an unknown species A mental
resolution was unanimously passed by the
forty other delegates to the effect that the
anseemly Thing rated somewhere between
the monkey and the lease. A minute de-
scription was entrusted to the reporters
Of the Shesoygan Herald and Tp,es, and
Clifford allowed to return to his constitu-
snts.
I With the exception of the above named,
and one other delegate from Sheboygan
county who assumed the fearful RESPONSE
bility of retiring from the Convention,
leaving Clifford to cast his vote. we think
We can safely say that no convention ever
convened in this State that could shade
the Fifth Congressional Convention in
point of intelligence or fidelity, feature
generally remarked by all outsiders in
attend ance.
AS to comparison of candidates, our
county has reason to be proud. Mr.. Villas
Was congratulated not only by prominent
public men present. but by opposing caudi-
dates, for having made the best speech ofthe
several candidates on the approval of the
platform, although not fully reported.
Our nominee, Hon. Samuel ID. Burchard,
Of Dodge county, is an able man, aud an
honest legislator, and We have no hesitancy
in promising the entire Democratic Liberal
Reform vote of this county at tbe coming
election, irrespective of whomsoever may
be nominated on the other side as his com
petitor. We have heard Republicans who
have never joined with the Reform party
before say that they will give him their
vote this fall. in the hope that they may
help to purify our representatives at Wash
ington.
The electors Of this county have begun
the work Of reform in earnest, and the
radicals, from Matt Carpenter to candidate
for Coroner, will find that Gordon is
very hard road to travel" in this locality.

was three-minute horse or not. At 1
O'Clock Tufts started his horse around the
track, and when he had made the mile much
to the surprise Of every one the time was an
nounced by the judges to be 2-47.
This time. considering that Piuery Boy is
