The following communication
from an experienced grape grower
is taken from the Texas Almanac.
His remarks will apply equally as
well to Louisiana, and contain much
interesting and valuable inforina-
ton on the subject of grape culture:
AT Your request | propose to
give some items on grape culture,
that may be OF use to beginners
here. The fact TINT our State IS
peculiarly adapted to grape culture,
both in soil and climate, Is now ac-
knowiedged; and also that we do
not need the expensive preparation
of the soil necessary IN more north
ern climates. l have tested over
one hundred varieties. and find that
nearly all do well in suitable sltna-
tons; but the difference IS SO great
in some situations that Il beginner
might conclude that some KINDS
will rot do here. For instance, the

Silver District.

We have been shown report to our
Supervisors by civil engineer as to the
expense of improving the road now open
to Castle Dome Landing, and of building
a new one thence 10 Silver District, and
regret that we cannot give it entire.
This person estimates that $1,000 will
be requisite to improve the road TO Castle
Dome so that teams of eight mules car
pass, though adds, that it can also be
done for s4O0.
The new road to Silver District, sixteen
miles, would cost $4,000 for eight mule
teams. For teams of four, the whole can
be done for $4,000.
From others we learn that these figures
are preposterous, and that the road can
be built for much less money
Why should not the Board call for pro
posals and then Judge whether advisable
to accept any one of them. There is lit
tie or no need for an eight male team road
at present, one for four will subserve all
the interests of the ct-which are
those of the County,-for several years to
come. when it will be rich enough to i'm
prove it to capacity for eight. The
SENTINEL has heretofore expressed it,
views as to the duty of the County IN this
matter, and sees no reason to change or
repeat them. We think it would be a
good investment for the County and be
remunerative from the development Of
the mines into taxable property.

Az cents, the entire amount having heen
taken by consumers, and holders
then advanced their price to Ala, at which
a few hundred tons were taken. The
stock is now firmly held at Ala cents, but
the demand has naturally slackened as
consumers have supplied their wants.

by the fact that since April last, the stock

The available stock on the spot is not

chases, but is concentrated in the hands

being for still further advance in prices.
