Keep the Farm Tools Sharp.

The Germantown Telegraph gives the
following sensible hints on the sharpen
ing of tools: IS Too often these things
are not thought of until the articles are
wanted, when much valuable time is
lost in putting in order what might as
well have been done during the dull
winter days. 1t has been computed
that the same man can do as much in
two days with a sharp scythe as in three
days with one comparatively dull and
the same expenditure in force. And it
is just the same in regard to all other
tools or implements, whether operated
by hand, steam or horse power. The
engineer continually oils the machinery,
and a good saw or file is oil to hand inn
plements. We know one who has a
great deal of hand hoeing to do by hired
labor, and he believes that the continued
use Of the file on the hoes makea differ
ence of nearly ene-half in the labor. His
calculation is that every ten-cent file he
buys saves him ten dollars in his labor
ers' bills. Now is the time to look after
the spades, scythes, hoes, chisels, saws,
etc. A good grindstone and set of
files are among the best of farm invest
ments, especially at this season. The
best of all forehandedness is that which
prepares in advance full set of good
and well-repaired tools to work with.

How to Train Grape Vines.

At the meeting of the Michigan Pom
illogical Society at Hillsdale, j. S.
Woodland, of Lockport, N. Y, in an es
say on training grape vines described
the one among many systems in use
which he thought required the least
time to learn and the least time to car
ry out in practice. 1t is, said he, the
one which the women of the household
can easily execute, and which will give
maximum of fruit with minimum of
=. labor.
The second spring put two wires on
trellis, let two eyes start from the top
of the cane, train one each way, pinch
ing latorals to a single leaf each. Some
now become impatient and want full
crop of fruit the third year, which would
be apt to permanently enfeeble the
plant; the better way is to have pa
thence and prune each cane to only
three eyes. The object each time in
letting three eyes remain when we want
only two canes to grow is to insure hav-
ing the two canes. Third spring let
only two canes grow from each arm or
spar, train only to the lower. wire and
let the other take the second; now you
need not pinch the laterals unless some
one is supposed to run rampant. in which
case head it off. If the plant is a strong
one, you may let each of the four canes
growing the third year bear ore, two or
three clusters, which will be all the
fruit prudent to attempt this year. Your
vine now should be strong enough to
bear fair crop, and we must prune
with reference to that. Cut back the
cane growing ON upper wire to three
eyes again, but have the lower cane four
feet long for fruiting. The spring of
fourth year fill the trellis with wires;
tie the long cane to the lower wire,
training the shoots that grow from it
perpendicular, tying to upper wires and
heading off, just above the top wire;
don't let the laterals grow more than
two leaves; let the two canes that grow
from the spur run along the upper wires
of the trellis. In the fall of fourth year
cut the bearing vine entirely out back
to the arm from whence it grew, cut the
best cane from the spar i've feet long
for bearing cane next season and cut the
other back for a spar to produce wood
for the sixth year. Thus go on each
year, cutting out the bearing vine of
that year and bending down in its place
the best one grown from the spar the
previous year and cutting the other to
form spar again for the next. In the
spring of each year tie the bearing cane
to lower wire and rub out all shoots
that do not show fruit blades. You
may also tie each shoot or cane grown
from the spars bearing fruit each year.

The Argentine Republic.

The Argentine Republic. in which
civil war is reported to have broken out,
is a confederation of the Rio de la Plata,
fourteen States or provinces containing
a population in 1870 of about 1890, 900.
Its area is some 543, 600 square miles,
and it is situated between Bolivia on
the north and Patagonia on the south,
the latter country being claimed as part
of its possessions There are in the
Republic about 100000 foreigners
Americans, Italians, Spaniards, French,
English, Swiss and Germans. Except
the Andes, in the west, and other
mountainous ranges in the northwest,
the whole region is composed of vast
plains, covered alternately with rich
pasturage and huge thistles. The
climate is both temperate and tropical.
AS agriculture is very backward, less
than 1-1,C0o OF the soil being under
cultivation, rearing live stock is the
chief employment of the people. Mill
ions of cattle Craze on the plains, along
with great herds of mules and horses.
Mines of rock-salt, which plentifully in
crusts the broad levels, are of much
benefit to the roaming beasts. The
name, River of Silver, is misnomer,
though silver, with gold, copper, sui
phur and coal, is found to moderate
extent near the Andes. Very little
mining has yet been done, and
the principal export trade, which
is increasing, is in wool and
hides. Juan Diaz da Soils, while
searching for passage into the Great
South Sea (1515) entered the Rio de la
Plata, and eleven years afterward Sc
bastian Cabot penetrated nearly to the
c0nflux of the Parana and Paraguay.
Buenos Ayres has virtually monopoliaed
that region, as large as the whole, Of
Western Europe. After various for
tunes of war, a general Congress de-
clared the independence of the United
Provinces of Rio de la Plata; but, some
years later, they were again isolated
and once more confederated. The Ar
gentine Republic, however, was mainly
an anarchy until 1885, when General
Rosas was chosen Captain General and
invested with almost absolute power.
He established quiet and order for
while, but his determination to secure
the supremacy of Buenos Ayres led to
his overthrow. There have since been
various unions and disunions of the
provinces. and wars with neighboring
States; and there is no present prospect
OF permanent peace, seemingly incom-
patible with the South. American Re-
publics. The entire interior has a
standing quarrel with Chill, which
shuts it away from the ocean. The
country has also any number of inward
discussions, and is SO likely to have
them that civil war may be reckoned as
a natural condition, which cannot be
interrupted until the character of the
heterogeneous population has been to-
tally altered.

A Japanese journal furnishes solns
interesting information respecting the
fabrication of fans. Here, as in MANY
other branches Of industry, the principle
OF the division OF labor is vigorously OBJ
served. The bamboo sticks are pre-
pared by workmen in their own homes.
while the incised ornaments of the lower
portion of the fan are confided to more
skillfnl hands, who dress the handles
according to the sketches given by the
designer In the same way, the artist
gives to the engraver the motives which.
IN his idea, will prevail the next season
and will insure ready sale. He it is
also who chooses the colors for the
pieces already cut out, as also the color
for each isolated detail, and, finally, the
different decorations for the back Of the
ian. The paper made use of to in
sert the leaves of the fan is all Japan
ese; it is peculiarly suited for this
purpose so much SO that an attempt
to employ foreign paper had to be
abandoned. The papers from America
were tined, but rejected; but experts
will tell one that the native paper used
in this branch of industry is much in
ferior to that used in the past. Former
~, when the country had no relations
with the outer world, the most expen-
sive ian made cost scarcely a pound.
Since then, however, there have been
numerous commissions for much larger
sums. The current price of ordinary
fans is, for hundred, from fifty ven or
dollars to fifteen yen. The number Of
fans furnished for the Philadelphia
Exhibition of 1876, on commission, was
no fewer than 800, 900, the price Of
which was estimated at $50, 200. For
merly the fan trade rarely exceeded 10
GOO articles yearly throughout the whole
country, but during the last twelve
months, though the date from which
this period commences is not stated by
our informant, there have been exported
nearly 3,OO0,O 900 of articles from Hiooo
and Yokohama. Highly appreciated as
are the products of Hiogo, those of
Toxic are by far the most esteemed

The Russian Tinker Poet.

Moscow is now mourning the death OF
self-taught poet, whose career might
have afforded matter of a chapter in
Self-help." Born forty years ago in
village in the Province of Yarsolavl.
Ivan Sakharovitch Surakoff was sent by
his father, at the age of seven, to serve
as an errand boy at Moscow. Here. in
course OF time, he rose to be shopman,
and. aided by some good-humored GUS
toners who used to frequent the place
where he worked, he made himself ia
miliar with the three RS, and with that
incarnation OF all that is vile. the gram
mar Of his native language. While still
in rudimentary stage of self-instruc-
ton he fell across book containing the
poems of Pashkin, Lermontoff and
koltsoff, the latter of whom gave him
his cue as poet, and afterward served
as his model in verse. AS is not I'M
common with the parents of poets,
neither his father nor mother looked
with a favorable eye on the verses
which Surakoff brought them after a
while to Yarsolavl, and, in obedience to
their instructions, his master took such
pains to keep pens and paper, and
the means of buying them, out of his
way that young Ivan was compelled to
scribble his early poems in pencil on
scraps OF waste paper. In 1862, by
chance, a Moscow journalist entered the
shop to effect purchase, and, finding
some very witty verses scrubbed on his
parcels, went back and had a'conversa-
ton with Surakoff, which led to the lat
ter contributing some poems to the Nos-
Eresni Dosoog. From that period his
contributions to the Russian press were
frequent, and by 1877 no less than three
volumes. Of his collected poems had APP
peared, chiefly dealing with life and
scenes at Moscow. It will surprise no
one that these productions, although SO
popular, failed to furnish him with a
livelihood, since literary career, pre-
carious enough in any country, is doubly
SO in Russia, where readers are few and
publishing expensive. Surakoff had
the good sense, therefore, to stick to
his trade, and up to the day of his death
he might have been seen working in his
little tinker's shop in one of the mar
kets of Moscow, surrounded by the i'm
plements of his craft, and having handy
sheet or two of paper for jotting down
any verses that might run in his mind
while soldering pot or putting a patch
on kettle.-L0ndon Globe. -

Vegetable Loafers.

Vegetable .loafers, as weeds of a
troublesome growth have been appro-
priately named, are legion in number
and the fight against them should begin
early and continue increasingly through
out the season.
To carry on an intelligent warfare
against noxious weeds it is necessary to
know somewhat of their method of pro-
pagatlon. White daisies, iron weed and
other pests which spread from both
root and seed ought to be dug out of the
ground previous to the maturity of their
blossoms, in order to destroy the seed
crop. for that year as well as the germ
which produces the stem and blossom
the next. This is accomplished with
the greatest ease directly after a rain
when the ground is soft. When enc
mics of this character have multiplied
themselves to such an extent as to rem
der digging out impracticable the only
remedy left is to pillow up the infested
ground before the seed natures.
Burdocks which spring up quickly
after having been mown above ground
will soon succumb, provided the cutting
is done q few inches below the surface.
Elders and briars that thrive persistent
ly in neglected places are in time de-
stroyed by moving down, twice year
during May and August. Flowing up
the land and narrowing out the roots is
an effective mode, especially when the
ground is afterward planted with some
such crop as corn.
Milkweed may be exterminated by
constant cutting. Plaintain will die out
if not permitted to ripen its seed for
two years. That most troublesome of
plants, Canada thistle can be conquered
by choking and smothering it with some
crop which overtops it and deprives its
leaves of sufficient light and air. Rye
has been sown on thistle-infested fields
with good results, especially when it
was followed with clover and timothy.
The mowings the thistles receive when
the grass is cut assist in enfeebling their
growth. May and August are the best
months in which to NOW weeds that die
from loss of foliage.
There is much to be said both for and
against summer fallow for the destruc-
ton of weeds. A fallow certainly re-
duces the pests. but so long as stock
feed on weeds the land will again be
seeded with them when manure is ap-
piled. Therefore the time never ar
rives when farm is free from noxious
growths of one kind or another which
call for more or less fighting against
them. The warfare, as has been init
mated, must vary in kind with the
nature and growth of the weed and be
