MANY grape vines so oveabear that
the fruit cannot ripen perfectly, and in
some cases varieties that naturally ripeD
well every season will fail to ripcn at
all, owing to the roots not being able to
sustain the immense crop of fruit upon
the vines. In cases where grapes fail
to ripen from this cause, the punches
should be thinned out with a pair of
scissors when the berries are small, as
soon as they are well formed; and cut
away the smallest clusters, and those
that show a struggling propensity In
the fruit. By so doing crop of splen-
did fruit may be produced where it
would have been worthless without
being thinned out.

In purchasing tools and implements,
those that are lightest, all other things

now that steel is in universal use for

AGRlCULrURAL.

How TO FATTEN LAND.-The farmer
is always inquiring into the best way
to make his land rich, so that 1t will
yield him the greatest amount Of profit.
One will say, use guano; another
phosphate; another, ashes and plaster,
etc. and all claim they have the best
crops from each. Now experience Is q
good thing, and as IL Is different on diff
ierent kinds of soil, will give you my
views. If | wish to fatten pig do
not give him just one ear or corn or a
spoonful of corn meal, but it gets good
square meal, and that brings the fat
just so with the land. If l wish to
raise good crop of onions, corn or po-
tatoes, or any other crop, l put on from
twenty to forty tons of good stable ma
nure to the acre, and it never fails to
show itself in a rich return. Bnt some
may say, put on one ton of phosphate
or gusno and you will save time and
trouble in hauling. and will get jnst as
good a crop. But l don't believe that
statement, for when plow under
thirty to forty tons of good stable ma
nure | have a good body there, and
when plow II again the soil has diff
ferent color and richness that you don I
see when you use phosphates and other
fertilizers in homeopathic doses. But
some may say. suppose you live where
you cannot get manure-what would
YOU do then? Circumstances alter
cases, but in that would do the best !
could. would pillow under clover or
something else, SO as to get a body, and
then perhaps use little stimulant, If |
could do no better; but always Use the
one that is good and the least expense
to you. If you wish your carriage to
look well you first get two or three
coats of good paint put Oh 1t; that makes
a good foundation; then comes the var
nisii, and though 1t shines we'll it is the
first TO pass away; 80 with guano phos-
phate, ashes, plaster, etc. They do well
in the hill, and as top dressing, and
should be used when they don't cost
too much. But to see money in fertili
zers at big price, requires larger op-
tics than possess. Now If there are
any who read this, and think my reas
oning incorrect. aud will give us the
other side, shall be greatly pleased
and perhaps benefitted.-Practical Far

FARM GATEs.-I would like to give
your readers plan of gate which 1
have used for the last twenty years, j
think it the best barn yard gate in use.
The gate runs on wheels, on board
laid on the ground, extending back as
far as it runs. Ii moves back between
a double temporary fence. To make
the gate, first lay down two boards. one
at the top and one at the bottom. The
top and bottom boards are double, or
one on either side of braces. Now lay
on your end and brace strips, then lay
on gate-boards and nail all solid to-
gether. l use 6 inch boards for bottom
and inch for the rest. l would like
to give some of the advantages of this
gate: First, it costs scarcely nothing
to make; ten cents worth of malleable
nails is all the iron used for a gate, and
any farmer can make them by burning
common nails. Ii is always i'm the
right place. not blown around by the
wind when left unfasIened. If you
have wild team of colts you can open
and shut this gate and not let go the
lines. No extra posts are used, any
common fence-post is sufficient. 1t
never says.

WEEDs.-These, and destructive in
sects are the two great enemies Of the
cultivator. The best way to treat weeds
is to allow them no entrance. We once
asked a nurseryman whose thirty-five
acres were not encumbered with one,
"How do you destroy all the weeds sc
efiectually?" The answer was, "We
90 not destroy them; for we never al
low them an entrance" If the surface
is frequently and thoroughly raked, be-
fore any weeds can ever appear above
quently narrowed on a larger scale, on
the farm the weeds can never get
started. This is the cheapest mode of
treatment. The other modes are in
relative cost, about in the following
ratio: 1t will cost dollar to keep ten
square rods of garden clean by frequent
raking, before the weeds reach the sur
face; then to kill them with sharp hoe
when two or three inches high, seven
to twelve dollars, and if much hand
wedding is required the expense may
be doubled. There is no reason why
every weed in a garden or farm may
not be eradicated. We have seen hun
dred-acre farm kept perfectly clear
from ox-eye daisy-not a single plant
of il to be seen-in the midst of a re-
gion where all other farms were white
with it. We have seen a twelve acre
lot, in the whole of which quack grass
formed a continuous mass, perfectly
cleared of it in single season. We
have seen a two-hundred acre farm on
which a single plant of chess could not
be found although adjacent farmers had
plenty of this weed. 1t had been thor
oughly eradicated, and not solitary
chess seed could be found in this mans
granary, If farmers with broad acres
could thus completely root out certain
weeds, they could as well as others;
and gardens, on a more limited scale,
might be kept perfectly clean.

DRAINING WET LANDs.-A CORES
pondent of the New England Farme.
has drained once worthless part of
his farm, and made it wonderfully pro-
ductlve. The meadow was divided by a
crooked stream, which rendered it too
wet for cultivation; but by digging a
straight ditcn through it, three feet
wide and three feet deep with perma-
ment walls to support the banks, and
running other drains into this, the
land has been improved, until it now
produces immense crops of hay and
grain. Seventy-five bushels of corn,
and from seventy-five to one hundred
bushels of oats TO the acre, have been
raised on the land since the drains
were completed. The expense of DRAIN
ing the land has been paid for several
times already.

EARLY Cut GRASS BEsT.-The Ger
mans publish details of a series of ex-
periments carried on at the agricultu-
raj schools of Fatherland, for the pur-
pose of testing the nutritive properties
of grass and hay at various stages. The
experiments were initiated by the ex
cessive demand for forage in Germany
but are none the less valuable on that
account. By an elaborate series of
analyses, IL is shown why young grass
is more nutritious than mature grass.
The physiological experiments show
that it is more easily digestible. That
grass 51s inches high contains nearly
fifty per cent. more of falhumenoids than
grass which is six inches high, and
ten more of "crudy fat" The mature
gTTess contains more woody fiber and
less t,esh-forming matter than the young
grass. besides this, it is found that the
nutritious aiiSSpmenoids exist in a less
soluble form in'>hay than in young
grass. Hence the difference of nutri.
tive value and digeslibinfv. Autumnai
hay was found to be more nutritious
and digestive than summer hay.
