been said and written on this subject,
SAYS a correspondent of the Germantown
telegraph. Poets have loved 1t and al
most every artist has his coy little
farmhouse nestled among the trees,
covered with climbing roses, and sur
rounded by the necessary outbuildings. :
Many a time have we forgotten while
gazing at such picture, or reading one
of these amorOus effusicns, that we
were born in the country, and that we
lived in a farmhouse and followed its
tiresome monotony from morning till
night, varying from laundry to dairy
feeding the poultry, rising before the
lark was aStir TO milk the patient
kline = '-shOd like the mountaiEeer, "
and SO on with but little variation. save
on those DAYS on which there was house
cleaning or some extra job to be
done.
Then when evening came and we sat
down, thoroughly weaTied, what an un-
utteTable longing came over us for some
thing more. If land the tantaliZing
picture would present itself there was
a paper TO be picked up after this was
over, or some interesting and instructive
v)lume-we were weary. very weary,
and the very sight of a pile of patching

were disiGclined to touch it.
And Just here is one of the great

TAR, CORN, AND CROwS.-When !
wrote from the farm of Mr.. Drew, last
summer. that dressing corn in tar be-
fore planting saved il from the crows, l
did not suppose that so many farmers
would b. reused at once to consider the
great value OF the face. True. it is not
new. | did not so say. 1t IS widely
known and has long been pIacticed.
Here we have the Second Annual Re-
port of "A Agricultural College in Japan.
Describing the mode of planting corn in
that country, the Report says
- device which was resorted to, to pre-
vent the myriadS of crows from pulling up
the corn, was the means OF saving an i'm
menSe deal Of trouble, and is worthy Of men
ton. The grain was first soak.d about ten
hours in water which had been made quite
sat, the salt being, however for another
purpose which will mention further on, and
not necessary as far as the crows were con
CerHed. The corn was then taken out of the
brine aud allowed 10 drain a few moments,
when small quantity Of tar was added, and
the whole thoroughly stirred until each Eer-
nal was seen to he covered with very thin
coating of i. Air-Slaked lime enough was
thPH MIXED with II to make tire grain mpder-

treatment does not IHjUtc, in the slightest
degree, the terminating quality of tie seed :;
and II Is perfectly certain TO prevent the
crows from troubling IL, rs WAS COnclusiyey
shown on the college farm. 4 small piece
was planted with fodder corn and, as we
did not have enough corn tarIed toqute FIN
ish tie field, few rows were planted with
grain which had not received any tar. Both
kinds Of seed came UP equally well. and for
a. few days grew Hith equal yiCor; but, some
cnterlrsing crow happened to discover tEat

GRATING GRAPEVINES. Those who
wish TO graft their vines with other
vines should remember. says the Ger
mantOwn Telegraph. that winter. and
not spring, is the time for it-and i'm
this the grape is different from most
other trees. It is different in this. that
IN the spring Of the year there is such a
tremendous pressure upward by the as
cending sap that the cicn and stock
which are to unite must Of course touch
one another, are forced by the sap part.
Wien the CRAFTS are put in at this sea-
son there is little Of this. The severed
cells grauu'aje and neal. and when the
sap is ready TO flow upward strongly. it
goes UP through its regular channels in
the graft without any tendency to break
out through the junction.
How to graft grapevines admits Of
many various replies. The best is pro-
bahly that described years ago in our
pages by Samuel Miller, then of T.eha-
non. in this State. now of Missouri. who
was very successful as q CRATER OF the
CTaDe. He drew away the soil from the
stock to be grated. cut il down about
two inches from the surface. then cut
with a stout sharp knife a long and mar
row wedge-shaped notch in the stock,
and shaped the ciCn rs a wedge 90 fit in
rhe notch in the sock. The lips Of the
notch are then tied together and the
earth drawn in around the whole, leav-
ing the upper eye OF the graft above the
ground.
We may say that it is very astonish-
ing that grape grating is not more gen
e"ally pTacticed. and especially since
the discovery that the great success OF
the Concord. Clinton and few Other
grapes. is not owing to an extra cOusti-
tution%l hardness, but to the fact that
the power 10 throw out numerous
hbroUS roots is greater i'll these kinds
If this be true, sn it seems to he really
the case. we may have the choicest and
best Of grapes by grating them on these
vigorous roofing stocks
