FINING THE SOIL.

| believe one Of our greatest ms
takes in farm business is made IN our
undue haste when sowing and cuItl-
waiting our crops. We are IN 50 much
hurry to set the seed into the ground
that we do not take time to properly
fit the soil for its reception We pillow
the land, run a pulveri2cr or harrow
over it once, SOW or plant the seed,
and cover it in as quickly as possible.
Sometimes we do not do as much as
this. | have known man to Pic"

hollows and large clols-uttorly I'M

TO harrow the land before sowing. --
Planting is very often done on land
that is not half fitted. And, as 1t
would be natural to expect, q man
who is in too much hurry to get bls
land in good order to plant is gencr-

greatly dimiaishes his crops and re

crops lies in q large yield per acre
A small yield only pays expenses.

PRUNING GRAPE VINES

A correspondent Of the Rural New
Yorker makes some sensible remarks
on this subject that accord with our
own experience, Thirty years ago,
physicians were in the habit Of draw
ing pint Of blood from every pa
tient--no matter what his disease was
he must be bled The consequence
was, that they gradually drew out
the living principle Of the unfortun-
ate people who fell into their hands.
Many grape growers are now doing
the same thing to their vines. They
think that if a certain amount Of sap
runs through cane bearing fruit, and
if portion Of that cane be cut off,
the entire vitality Of the cane when
uncut will be diffused through what
remaips Of it. Mistaken lea You
may take two canes, each five, ten or
fifteen feet long, and each bearing
three clusters Of grapes. If you cut
one off to within a foot Of the fruit,
the grapes on the uncut cane will ii
pom just as early, if not better than
those on the cane that is cut off. The
reason is, that the roots Of the vine
supply all the sap that the grapes and
cane require; and by cutting back
canes, the fruit receives no more nour-
ishment than it did before the canes
were cut, because it can receive but
certain amount. The only way to i'm
prove the size and quality Of grapes
is, when vine is heavily frulted, to
thin out the clusters, and this should
be done in June. My theory, as re-
CARDS close pruning, cutting back
fruit canes, etc. may not apply equ-
ally to all varieties but think if
we enrich the soil more, supply high
er trellises, thin out our grapes and
prune moderated y, we shall all get
better crops Of fruit than to adopt the
close pruning system.
