Summer Grape-Pruning

About this, as in nearly every other
horticultural subject, there is consider
able difference of opinion We have
known vines to be '' 'pruned to death"
in following out some wild theory that
some addle-headed fellow had started,
while others would prune so sparingly
as to be of no benefit at all. Many
strip the vines of three-fourths their
leaves to allow the sun and air to get
in, as they say. while others allow the
grapes to be smothered for want of a
judicious removal of the leaves. Pinch
ing the ends off the vines, or clipping
off portion of the sprouts. when they
are grown rampantly, SO far as it APP
pears to be necessary to any reasonable
Judgment, will greatly benefit the crop,
Just as the reverse will damageit. The
thinning-out of the surplus punches, by
removing from third to a half of them
as they usually show themselves, is of
the greatest Importance. In doing
this be sure always to remove the
weakest and most imperfect. The
laterals of the it-bearing branches,
which have been pinched or clipped, will
throw out more branches, and these
also should be pinched so as to leave
only single leaf. The laterals on the
canes, remember, are to be the fruit
bearing canes for next year, and should
be allowed to grow unchecked. Care
must be taken to tie up such of the
branches containing punches which are
too heavy to bear their own weight.
There shoild, also, be more wood al
lowed to grow than is needed for the
following years fruiting, ....... ...
These simple general hints may be OF
service to those whose knowledge OF
grape-growing is limited. In little
while-a few years of experience, which
can be greatly added by examining
the way that good grape-growers Follow
will soon put one in the plain road to
success.-G Germantown TeleQraph.

The effect. of, washing ourds with
water iSto take the acid out of them
Experienced makers do this when they
find that there is too much acid tievel-
oped.. They take the curds and breal
them in pieces, Which, is, q very easy,
matter, when the acid, is too strong as
it.'rendersp themaveryr rcrumbly. They
then throw over them iseveralnpailsh hof
water at a. temperature OF ninety TO
Iiinety-fve degrees, as it wonld not do
to use cold water. In this way the curds
are sweetened, and if the maker desires
to make a sweet curd cheese this is a
very good plan.-uSuch acheese answers
well for the home trade, being soft and
bnttery and about such stock as the
home trade likes. But it will not do
for shipping cheese. which must have
good keeping qualities; and in order to
make a good keeper. there must be a
proper amount of acid in the. turls.
The danger Isl in attempting to wash
out the extra acidity, that there will be
too much acid taken away, and. the
ncheese be rendered; unfit for. keeping.
This. of course, would destroyits value
u for shipping. If the maker Is expert
lafnced and skilfful, so that he knows Just
when enough Of the acid has been taken
lnut to make the cheese right, then wash
ling may be practiced to advantage in

HOW THEIRS WORK TO SAVE FRANCE

The Hon. Elihu b. Washburne gives
in THE CENTURY, for January, his re-
mipScenCes of ThieIS, and describes MS
habits of work aS follows:

simply prodigious. The condition OF
France was terrible. The Germans held
military occupation of large number

ton disoIganized; violence and disorder

and the Assembly secretly hostile aud re-
dictionary; thcindamnity to be raised Tor
Germany, Through seVeuty-tive years
old, Thiers entered on his duties with
Juvenile ardOr, andeXhibitedan activity
alike without limit and without exam
ple. There was little that escaped him
i'm the administration of the Govern
ment. With but few hours of sleep,
five O'Clock in the morning always
found him at work in his cabinet, in
conjunction with his secretary, his life
long friend and associate, Barthelemy
It, Hilaire, one of the most distinguish
ed men ofFrance, member Ofthe French
Academy, and recently Minister OF
Foreign Affairs under President Grevy.
| recollect an account given In the pa
pers Of Theirs having once playfully re-
preached his old friend for not hav-
ing arrived at his cabinet until after five
O'Clock in the mornidg. Often would
some ministers be surprised to received
to a note, asking him To call, in relation
to some matter in his department, at
six o'clock in the morning. While CIV
ing all his attention to matters OF inter
Tor administration and to public affairs
generally, Theirs was attending the
sessions OF the National Assembly and
participating in the discussion OF the
most important questions. AS NJ. Jules
Simon we'll says, he was absorbed IN
labors enough to fill three exiStences.
He managed to do everything, thanks
to his strength of will and the extreme
lucidity of his mind. He gave himself
ND entirely to the matter in hand and
the person present. He never had that
busy and preoccupied air which some
persons have with One-twentleth OF the
work. He was, in some respects, like
Lincoln. He Wa cheerful in the midst
of the greatest crisis. He would catch
a testing phrase on the wing, and was
not afraid ola doubtful joke. His natural
cheerfulness was great aid to him in
his crushing work. While his ministers
were weighed down with labors and re-
sponsibilities. he was always cheerful
and at his ease. He has furnished an
example for rulers, He gave all he mad
of heart, mind, and strength to his coun-
try. He did not fritter away his time
ON triflng andimmatcrial questions, nor
permit it To be taken up in dispensing
public patronage. He rarely gave HIM
self any vacation. When the Chambers
had taken a vacancy and the ministers
were having their holidays, TEiers was
Cnce asked about a holiday for himself.
Ah!" said he, my holiday is eighteen
hours work q day"

THE WEALTH OF THE SOUTH.
81. LonIs Rcr1nbltcrn.


The report of the census bureau Of the
wealth per capita of the several sections
Of the country shows the south to be
very far behind the others. The fact is
neither new nor strange. The report
shows that the average wealth per capita
is S62S.15 in New England; S+52.24 in
the middle states; SS2l.09 in the west;
Sl45.64 in the south, $S59.56 on the
Pacific slope. The south, therefore,
contains third of the population of the
country and an eighth of its wealth.
That section lost by the war in slaves,
which had up to that date been property,
probably $500 per capita. The loss in
other property, and depreciation of
lands, was also considerable. Time has
mended some of this, but there remains
much to be done to put that section in
the position of material Prosperity to
which its natural capability entities it.
The disparity even now is not what a
curSory glance at the above figures seem
to show, In estimating the wealth per
capita Of the southern states it is hardly
correct to compute the negroes who own
next to nothing. They are neither pro-
vident nor aequisitive. Few of them
own land. Very few own anything
which materially swells the aggregate
OF wealth. Subtraeting the bulk of the
negroes from the population and calcn-
lating the wealth per capita upon the
reduced basis, the white people of the
south will be found to have regained a
position close to those Of the west.
