The following brief, practical and con-
densed rules Tor the management OF
grapes were given by Dr. Whiting at
the Farmers Institute, recently held at
Saginaw, Mich:
The soil best suited for the grapes is
decomposed shale, but any good clay
soil thoroughly drained will do.
The ground should be carefully pre-.
pared, and only well rotted manure
used.
Decsmposing turf is one of the best
fertilizers; when il can be obtained. no
other will be required
The vines selected for planting should
be good ons-yeaT-old layers or cuttings
They may look small, but will make the
best vines
Gooj culture IS as necessary to the
vine as to corn or cabbage.
Mulching and watering the first year
should not be neglected if drought is ex.
cessive. One good soaking Is better than
many sprinklings More water lean be
saved with hoe than can be put on
with a sprinkler.
In planting cut the vine back two
buds, whatever its strength or age.
Summer pruning consists in pinching
of weak and struggling shoots in order
TO conhue the sap to the main branches.
The first summer allow but one main
shoot to grow. In the fall, after the first
frost, cut all the summer growth back
To within two buds OF the ground.
Inc second year confne the sap to
two branches, and in the fall cut back
To three buds each.
The third year, if your vine has made
vigorous growth, Jew stems of grapes
may be allowed to mature, but better
take off all the fruit than to suffer toe
much TO grow.
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1878-08-01

Too heavy bearing while young will
weaken the vine for all future time.
The trimming now depends on what
kind of trellis you wish to cover.
After you have obtained good vigor-
Gus root, you can make it grow in almost
any place or shape you wish, by keeping
the branches desired tied up, and ali the
others pinched back.
Each year a few of the strongest
branches should be allowed to grow as
bearers of fruit the following year.
In trimming cut away as much of the
old wood as possible and save the new,
rs all the fruit buds are on the new.
You can easily tell how much to cut
away by holding your new wood up to
the trellis, and imagine a branch with
three stems of grapes fer each bud.
Ii you do not cut off enough in the
fall, and you find that the vine is going
to be too thick, do not fail to attend TO
1t when the shoots are from three to six
inches long, in the spring, or while in
blossom. AS soon as the fruit is set ex~
anime the vine; spread out the new
wood so that each bunch of grapes will
hang free and clear; pick off all the
small stems of fruit, and fasten the vines
securely, so that the wind will not de-
strOy your crop by breaking the young
aud tender branches
When the wood has grown 80 that
there are three leaves beyond the last
bunch of grapes examine the vine,
select the branches you wish to save for
fruit'beariDg the coming year, and keep
them tied up until they have grown as
long as you wish to make use of. The
ends of the other bearing branches
should be pinched off as soon as they
reach this point, "three leaves beyond
the last stem of grapes"
Break off all shoots and latersls as
they make their appearance, but on no
account injure the leaves on their bear
ing canes.
The fruit will color but not ripen if
the leaves are destroyed.
Grapes for fall and winter use should
be packed as soon as ripe. and when
perfectly dry, packed in fine dry saw
dust. Select your box or jar, cover the
bottom with sswdust, then layers of
grapes and sawdust alternately until
full. Keep them in the coolest place
you can find free from frost, until
wanted for use.

RELICS OF THE AZTECS.
Discoveries by a Party of Engi.
 neers.

The Las vegas (New Mexico) Ca
 zette .gives the following: Mir. c. W
 Irish, of Morley's Arizona party O
 engineers, favored us with an inter
 esting description of cave abou
 thirty-tive miles northwest of Silver
 City which contains many relics of q
 by-gone race of people, considerably
 skilled in the ruder arts of civiliza
 tion- A Mir. J. K. Metcalf discovered
 this cave some years since, and on closer examination found that it had
 been inhabited It is about sixty feet
 long, and thirty to forty feet wide and
 thirty-five feet high, regularly arched
 over. It shows evidence of having
 been worn out by water The roof and walls are blackened as though smoked and burned by fire, and the floor covered with bat manure to a depth of four feet-in which by dig ging down many curious things are found, of the most interesting of which MT. Irish made sketches. Many of those were undoubtedly ye Gods of that uncultured race. One denominated the Sun God, is a rud. sculpture of a man bearing upon his head a representation of the rising sun. The figure is painted in various colorS, red, green, black and yellow, and birds represented as in flight, as if rising to greet the opening day. There are many other relics, among them the Water God, the prophets wand and vases of the dead. The lat ter are filled with burnt human bones and teeth packed in kind of cotton, clearly indicating that this ancient people practiced cremation, or that these vases contain the remains of hu- man sacrifices. This last idea is strengthened from the fact that some distance from the mouth of the cave and in plain view from it, a huge column of granite rises to the height of one hundred feet, rudely represent ing q man. Opposite this obelisk on each mountain side, even with the top, are immense stones or alters which show traces of the sacrificial fires and are no doubt the places where the victims were offered. The cave also contains bows and arrows, small and large, and arrow heads and pieces of pottery with representations of animals. It was undoubtedly one of the habitations of the cave dwell ers, possibly of the Aztecs, previous to their migration to the land of the Toltecs, where tine great city of the MontezumaS, Mexico, was built.

Eggs the Whole Year.

Get breed of poultry that are non setters. For my part, I like the white crested black Polands the best. They do not fly over fence that is three feet high. have had them over four years, and do not remember that one was ever inside my barn. Five or six years ago I had Leghorns and Hamburgs, and they would sneak in my barn every day, scratch around the hay, and make nests in the straw. But this is not the case with my white-crested black Polish. They are always contented with their nests. I have no trouble to hunt eggs in the grass and in the barn, like some of my neighbors must if they do rot want to lose half their eggs. I always get my chicks matched in March and April. Then they will commence to lay in August and September, and then keep on laying all winter. This year l did raise ninety Polish chicks, and l lost only four, and those by ac- cident. 1 have found out that 1 can get my Polands to weigh as follows when l raise them early: Cocks, 515 pounds, and the hens 415 pounds, They are O. a very tame disposition. have some that will come and eat out of my hand.

The same men who led the armies of the north, the same journalists who in spIred those armies, the same religi- Ous teachers, and the same noble, heroic women who originated and sustained, amid the heat of battle and the excitement of sometimes perilous popular commotions, the grandest bencfcence ever conceived of for the relief of soldiers in the field, nave been foremost in the hcaven-sent work or our relief in weeks that are the drearieSt in our calendar.

Farm Life.

It is common complaint that the farm and farm life are not appreciat. ed by our people. We long for the more elegant pursuits, or the ways and fashions of the town. But the farmer has the most sane and natural occupation, and ought to find his life sweeter, if less highly seasoned, than any other. He alone, strictly speak ing, has a home. How can a man take root and thrive without land {: He writes his history upon his field. How many ties, how many resources he has; his friendship with his cattle, his team, his dog, his trees, the satis- faction in his growing crops, in his improved fields; his intimacy with nature, with bird and beast, and with the quickening elemental forces; his corporations with the cloud, the sun, the seasons, heat, wind, rain, frost. Nothing will take the various social distempers which the city and arti- ticiai life breed out of man like farming, like direct and loving con- tact with the soil. It draws out the poison. It humbles him, teaches him patience and reverence, and re- stores the proper tone to his system.
 Cling to the farm, make much of it, put yourself into it, bestow your heart and your brain upon it, so that it shall savor of you and radiate your virtue after your days work is done !-John Burroughs, iH N6cem6er .Sc5fbner.
