tInctly, disbud all superfuous
shoots. If they have started we'll
the shoot is sufficient to leave on a
spur. Allow the n showing the
finest bunch to remain, and if
there is no difference, take the one
off nearest the end of the spur.
BY attending to this, the spurs
are prevented from getting too long,
nothing looks more unsightly than
vines having long spurs. The
shoots which are left or the vines
should be tied to the wires. In
performing this operation, do not
force them to bend too much at
once, or else they are apt to break
off altogether. Also avoid tying
them down when the sun shines
strong, as they are very easily bent
from being soft, and easily wilted;
and as soon as they recover from
this soft condition, they are apt TO
break off from the old wood. l
have seen several cases of vine
shoots being tied down on a hot
sunny day, and the next morning
a good many of them broke right
off. 1t is very annoying, when
once the vines are disbudded and
the shoots tied down, to have sew
eral Of them broken off; because
then, unless some adventurous
shoots are produced, the spur is
lost altogether. Leading shoots of
young vines should be carefully
attended to when growing, and
tied every few days, so that they
may be kept straight. Pinch off
all tendrils and lateral shoots back
to the first leaf; the shoots on
which the fruit is showing pinch at
the first leaf. Take care that the
leaf opposite the bunch be pre-
served from injury, as the destruc

age growers, as upon the health Of
the leaves depends to a great ex-

unless a good healthy mass of
roots is maintained, but poor snc-
cess will attend the production Of

good in grape growing, but good
roots are essential IN growing fruit

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. 1t is also the year in
which an Opposition House Of Reprcsen.
~tatives, the first since the war, will be in
power at Washington and the year Of the
~twenty-third election Of q President OF he
United States. All of these events are
sure to be Of great interest and importance,
especially the two latter and all Of them
and everything connected with them will
be fully and freshly reported and expound-
ed in The SuN.
The Opposition House of Represents
tives, taking up the line of inquiry opened
years ago by Tue Sun, will sternly aud
diligently investigate the %corruptions and
misdeeds Of GRANTS administration anu
will. it is to be hoped, lay the foundation
for a new and better period in our national
history. Of all this The Sun will con
tain complete and accurate accounts, fur
nishing it's readers with early and trust
worthy information upon these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be mem
0rab,e as deciding upon e RANT's aspirations
for a third term Of power and plumber, and
still more as deciding who shall be- the
candidate of he party of Reform, and as
e~lecting that candidate. Concerning all
these subjects, those who read THE SuS
will have the constant means Of being
thoroughly wei informed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained a
circulation Of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and

1875 will see their numbers doubled. 1t

ORCHARD GRASS.

Seeing several inquiries in your
valuable paper Gbout sowing
orchard grass, | will report results
of experience / made last year on
three plats Of land lying in the
same ield-all Of equal equality:
No. ] was broken up in August,
narrowed once, then sowed with
one and one quarter bushels OF
orchard grass seed per acre about
the first OF September; which was
brushed in with a pine brush.
No. 2 was broken up the same
time, narrowed once. and sowed
broadcast in wheat narrowed in:
] then sowed one and a one half
bushels orchard grass seed per
acre. and brushed in as above at
the same time.
No. 3 was broken mp about the
middle OF March sowed in oats one
and three quarters OF a bushel of
orchard grass seed per acre, with
same preparation as No, 2.
A good crop of hay could have
been cut from No. l which grew off
finely, about four ffths of it going
10 seed The stand was quite
sufficient. No. 2 had a good
stand not rs good rs No. ], nor
10y any means as well grown. No.
3 was not as well grown as No. 2,
nor was the ''stand" as good, not
wiihstandng a larger quantity OF
seed per acre, and it was burned
out in many spots where the oats
were rankest.
The inference can well be drawn
Rs to the best tine for sowing. As
TO whether sowing by itself. and
getting a crop of hay instead of a
crop of wheat, will pay, ] leave
10 older and better heads TO
decide. l have heard gentlemen,
rs old in farming as l am in
years, complain of not being
able to get good stands Of grass
some seasons. | think, for salty,
year after year, that the mode as
tried with No. l will always secure
it, and pay for the trouble. At
best our wheat crops pay but
little, but every man, woman and
aud CHILD in this county knows that
grass does, and l think we should
do our best on the most paying
crops. l think one bnshel per
acre, sown by itself as No. /, would
have given a sufficient stand

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-10-06

One Of our independent" neighbors
appears to be highly tickled with the idea
that the election of Mr.. Pilsbury will be
welcomed by our Texas neighbors in
Galveston. We do not care straw for
the political syilpathies Of a city that
improves every opportunity to injure our
commerce upon the most frivolous pre-
texts. A Texas welcome for the election
of Mayor will be but small compensa-
ton for stopping the stream of trade
which would now be flowing into the in
terror of that State, but for the senseless
quarantine regulations, which not only
forbid New Orleans steamers to land
at Galveston, but by an unparalleled
stretch of jurisdiction, stops them
on their voyages to Clinton and other
ports, though they do not, in max
ing them come within a marine league
Of the wharf at Galveston. We are
not disposed to swap our Texas trade
for few empty compliments to our polit-
lcal sagacity. And for that matter the
Neus would be just as well pleased if the
What is It?" convention had nominated
Colonel Patton, Mr.. Leeds, or anybody
Use, as it pretends to be with the selection

THE FUNDING BOARD.

The president of the Cotton Exchange
and the Fiscal Agent, the only non-polit-
ical members of the board charged with
the funding of the State debt, are absent
from the city, and before leaving they
were assured that no sessions would be
held during their absence. Yet are the
State officers daily pressed to call meet
ing and to convert the registered old
bonds, which would necessitate quorum
Of mere majority-and all these State
officials-to pass upon whatever securities
might be presented.
A very proper regard for the sanctity of
their responsible mission has SO far pre-
vented such unwise action; but it is ru-
mored that suit is to be brought to COM
pei an immediate session of the board.
This urgency seems to originate solely
with the brokers, whose commissions may
be endangered by delay. The brokers
charge fee of one per cent for superin-
tending the conversion Of old bonds into
new, and as the owners are in the main
foreigners, they hope to accomplish the
speedy realization of their commissions
through an order of the United States
court.
It is perhaps needless to say that such a
movement will be frnitless, 50 far as ex-
pediting what will in due course be done
Of necessity. The only question at issue
appears to be, whether it will be the better
policy to fund while there is sufficient
m oney in the treasury to pay all the back
interest, or to await its collection before
converting the bonds The collections,
under the stay of penalties, promise to
solve this before full board can be con-
vened; but at the worst it is only ques-
ton Of short time, as the levy on inter-
est account far exceeds any possible de-
mand under the funding law and the con-
stitutional amendment.
10 prevent any uncertainty, however,
in the minds of investors, and to estop
any damage to their interests by the in
of what must necessarily prove |
inconclusive suits, it would be we'll that
! definite policy on the issue thus pre-
'ented should be adopted by the Funding
Board as soon as possible.
A full and detailed statement Of the in
crest account of the State is being pre-
JARED, and it will show not only full
revision for the interest on the new State
ebt, but a handsome surplus.
