Scuppernong Grapes.

Mr.. Faelib, Of Halifax county,
North Carolina, an enthusiast in the
culture Of the grape, and with forty
years experience as a vineyardist TWEEN
tyyears of#hich were spentamong the
vineyard oftho Rhine, says that each
vine-in the third year will produce
about one peck Of grapes in the fourth
year two bushels in the fifth year five
bushels. He claims that when in
full bearing they average from 400
to 500 bushels per acre, from which
$500 gallons Of wine may lie press
ed. Vines of the .scappernong vari-
ETY. have, in his neighborhood, reach
ed the .enerab!e age Of one hundred
and fifty years, and cover from one
and a half.Lo two acres. A vine OF
this sort in North county, covering
two acres of ground, yielded, last
season, l~orty.eigbt barrels of winel
although its supports were dIlapId"t-
ed and not one cent had been cx-
pended in cultivation. He estimates
the expense Of preparing an acre OF
vineyard ny. follows: Average price
of land per acre, $40; seventy-fiye

The Culture of ViOIetS.

Itmaysurprisenota few of our read
ers to hear that violets needcultnra.
That culture affects these is beyond
a doubt. The-size of the flower may
be doubled or trebled by 1t. In
some things an increase Of size seems
purchased too dearly by a diminn-
ton OF fragrance, 1t is not SO in Vi
Diets, but The reverse. The larger
they are the sweeter also they grow,
and though length Of flower stem is
much modified by variety, it may al
so be drawnupand Quito some cNqsid-
cradle extent by cultivation. The
leaves Of %violets should always &C
company the flowers. All flowers
should have their own leaves as the
very best, because the most natural.

VIM. Pend, ton Grange.

w. M. Pend. ton Grange.
To the ". N. and Members Of The
Pendlcton Grange: .
The committee appointed some
months ago to visit the farms OF the
members, and by direct inquiry as
certain the average number of acres
in the farms, the kind of crops usual,
ly raised, their relative value and
pro6tableness, &C., submit the follow
ing report:
We only yisitedsome fifteen farms,
taking them as We came to them had
we had the time we would have Wis
tied the farms of each n of the
members, but from our general knowl-
edge of the larms not visited we are
satisfied they would have sustained
Che general results arrived at.
In arriving at the results hereinaf-
ter set forth we. in every case, aver
aged the individual results for a pc
Rod of FIVE years, and from these In
dividual results We struck a general
average of all the farms visited. We
find the average number of acres to
the farm to b, 49o, $50 acres being
in cultivation, leaving $50 acres to
the farm untitled, unremunerative
and dead, 80 far as profits IRE con-
cerned. What bank, with two-thirds
of its capital locked up in its vaults
unused, would ever declare a divi-
dend AS we have u living out OF
the lands we now cultivate, the pro-
ceeds of our untitled lands, were they
in cultivation also, would be a clear
profit. Let us, then, cease to cry
hard times, and devote ourselves pa
tiently to the effort to solve the prob
lem of how We can best bring these
lands under cultivation ourselves, or
cause them to be cultivated. 1t is
true our situation for the past twelve
or fifteen years has prevented US from
doing many things that we knew
ought to have been done, but the
time has come when we cannot be
much longer excused for such gross
Encouragement.
There is no general rule in renting
lands. Some landowners receive
one-third Of all the crops raised, 9TH
ers receive one, third of scme Of the
crops and one-fourth of the others.
It is generally conceded that it is
more profitable to hire hands for
wages than to rent. Wages average
SO per month, with r%a!ions, for mum
bar one hands.
