INK AND RECORD AND FARMER FRIDAY SEPTEMBER

next TO il are somewhat Aattened. The fruit
must be pressed In such manner that II can
not shake n travel and this can only be done
with grapes the skin of which has been tough
ened by being properly cured. II clusters
were placed in the box as they come from the
vines, and subjected 10 the needed pressure,
the skin would crack around the stems, libe-
rating the Juice, and the whole would soon
pass into decay. Towards Christmas and
New Years. many tons of the varieties we
have named come to the New York markets
in excellent condition. New varieties of
grapes, of great excellence, have recently
been introduced, but we have yet TO learn as
to their keeping qualities. With the Concord
and related varieties, the skin is too tender to
admit of long keeping, and it does not seem
to tougher in the curing process. Still, even
with these the season for home use may be
considerably prolonged. The late Mr.. Knox
found that he could keep the Concord for
some time by placing the thoroughly-ripene
clusters in baskets or boxes, with the leaves
of the vine below and between them. We
do not know how long this will keep these
grapes, but we saw some in excellent condi-
ton several weeks after the harvest was over.
Those who set grapo-vines should be aware
that no one variety will meet every require
ment, and that the earlier the variety the less
likely it will be to keep.-AB'. AgriculturiSt.

From the beginning of September to near
the end of October is the season of fairs.
The aggregate number held in the United
States each week during the present month
must amount to several hundred. Every state
has its state fair nearly every county has its
county fair and TO these we may add few
thousand local or town fairs, besides the va
rious industrial exhibitions of the cities and
large towns. The number of fairs that are
annually held, with the thousands of people
that attend them and contribute to their sup
port, mark them as an institution of the
country likely to be long continued Though
bearing the same name as the historical fairs
of the old countries, our fairs are quite an
other thing. They were great public market
days set apart sometimes for general trade
and barter, and sometimes for the sale of
special products, as cattle, sheep or horses,
dairy products, furs, silks, etc. Many of
these fairs have been discontinued as trade
has fallen into more regular channels, but
they are still held, though less frequently, in
nearly all the countries of Europe and in the
East. Though those fairs are instituted for
the purpose of trade, crowds of visitors are
attracted who make them an occasion for
amusement and festivities.

An Immense Lumber District in
Warrington Territory.


Lumbermen who fear the speedy extinction
of the Michigan forests can take some COM
fort in the thought that in the present gener-
alton, at least, the supply in the Puget Sound
district of Washington Territory cannot be
exhausted The sound is a magnificent arm
of the sea, with numerous bays stretching up
into the land and all surrounded by splendid
forests of pine, fir, spruce and redwood, the
enormous growths of which are a natural
wonder. Since the settlement of the Pacific
coast the lumber business of Puget Sound has
been gradually developed, under the stimulus
OF California and Chinese trade, until it has
become an industry of leading proportions.
Numerous mills, of frst-class appointment
and capacity, cluster about the indentations
of the sound, many of the numbering points
constituting towns by themselves. In these
towns are stores, carrying stocks of merch-
andise of from $40, 600 to 800, 900. The
lumber companies own lines of ships, and
frequently from four to ten vessels can be
seen simultaneously loading at the dock of
single mill. Many of these mills have attach
ed to them from twenty to fifty dwellings,
and the population of a single village some
times numbers 800 or 600 persons A single
company owns three of these immense mill
ing establishments, with four mills capable of
cutting 500,0 900 feet of lumber a day, togeth-
er with four powerful tugboats, a score of
ships, and timber lands estimated at 200, 600
acres. The capacity of the larger mills about
Port Gamble and other central lumber points
of the district aggregates $40, 900 feet per day,
and the smaller mills about Seattle aggregate
100000 more During the year ending June
l, 1881, the cut of the mills was 200, 900, 900
feet, of which three -fourths found its way to
California. This great industry had its be-
ginning thirty years ago from little water
power mill with capacity of only 1000 feet
per day, and the prospects for future growth
are almost unbounded.

1t is the fashion at tho present time to par
TALLY cover the floor with rugs, leaving a Dor
der of wood exposed to view. The Art In
terchange instructs how to color pine floor
so that it will admit of partial covering and
yet be slightly 'obtain at any house paint
er's store turpentine and linseed oil mot boil
ed). Ask the clerk to put in a little Japanese
dryer in the turpentine. Buy either burnt
sienna or Vankyke brown, or both, according
to the color Of the rugs and tint on the walls
These colors come put up in small cans,
smaller but otherwise similar to tomato or
fruit cans. After the floor has been washed
thoroughly clean and dry, begin by mixing in
another receptacle the oil, turpentine and the
paint. The mixture should be so thin that il
will run with liquid readiness. Lay It on
with brush the way Of tho grain of the
wood. Protect your hands with old gloves
and go over the floor with a rag In fact you
will need two rags, one pretty well charged
with paint to rub in every orevice, and an
other rag to rub OFF any superfluous paint.
Do not stop in straight line across the grain
OF the wood, but carry the brush irregularly
down, taking hint from natures lines in the
wood. By mixing the sienna and Vandyke
brown a rich color may be produced without
using the paint thick. This mixture should
be so thin that the grain will show through.
II too much turpentine is used the paint will
rub oil. II too little, your room viii need
more days to dry. Use twice as much oil as
turpentine. Do not economic the oil, and
be as prodigal in rubbing as your strength
will permit"

wanted, a system Of Forestry.



The appalling news from Michigan OF
townships and even whole counties swept
over by devouring flames, causing not only
fearful destruction of property, but the loss
of hundreds of lives, revives the demand that
the national and state administrations should
undertake system of scientific forestry. not
only for the protection of the woods and the
consequent protection of the climate of the
country, but also as means of making life
and habitation secure. The settlers in the
wooded regions of the frontier are extremely
careless in their method of clearing their set
Elements. Acres of trees are girdled and left
to die. and then are cut down and burned or
left to dry and decay and become food for
the devouring element whenever it appears.
The half cleared fields are covered with
great heaps of dry brush, waiting for con-
venient season, to be burned, while the old
forests are full of decaying underbrush and
rubbish, ready like finder to spread confa-
grafton. A thorough system of forestry such
as is practiced in Europe would change all
this. The woods would be in charge of men
whose business it would be to see that no
great accumulations of rubbish were allowed
to imperil great tracts of forest Every acre
that is now swept over is loss, not only to
the owners, but TO the whole country. The
preservation of the forests is as essential as
the preservation of the water courses, and un-
less some measures are taken to arrest this
wide destruction sections of the country now
fertile will become quite uninhabitable.

PressryIng crane. for winter.

AS autumn approaches, we receive a num-
Der of inquiries as to the best method of pre-
serving grapes for winter use. 1t is not gen
orally understood that there is as much differ
ence in grapes with respect to their keeping
as there is with other fruits. No one would
expect to keep Early Harvest apples or Bart
lett pears for the holidays, and it is so with
the most generally cultivated grape-the Con-
cord; it cannot be made to keep in good con-
dition long after it is fairly ripe. With other
varieties it is different. There are some To-
calities where that grand old grape, the Cat
awba, can still be cultivated with success, and
where this is the case one need hardly 10 look
for better variety. The Isabella still sue
ceeds in some places, and is a fair keeper
Better than either, If not the best of all
grapes, the Iona gives good crops in some
places, as does the Diana. Where either of
these-the Isabella, Catawba, Iona or Diana
can be grown, there is no difficulty in keep
ing them until the first of the New Year, or
later. The grapes are allowed to ripen fully;
they are picked and placed in shallow trays,
in which they remain in an airy room 10 "cure. 4"
The operation of curing consists merely in
sort OF whiting, by which the skin becomes
toughened and will not break when the fruit
is packed. When properly 'cured," the
clusters are packed in boxes usually of three
or five pounds each. The bottom Of the box
is opened, the larger clusters laid In carefully,
and smaller punches packed in upon them in
such a manner that it will require a moderate
pressure to bring the cover Cor, properly, the

nailed down. The pressure used is such that

The oIrsnasr a Deadly Poison.

The oleander is deadly poisonous, and, tho
beautiful in flower and leaf as q house plant,
yet II ought never 10 be permitted TO grow
where children may touch IL. Prof. James
Law writes "a case that occurred recently
under my notice may DO recorded as a warn
ing of the dangerous qualities of favorite
house-plant A fine, healthy mare ate a sim
gle tuft Of leaves from branch Of an olean-
der temporarily set by tho door; then went
on journey of six miles, appearing playful
and well, but on returning refused her feed.
Next morning she still refused to eat looked
dull and haggard, and had partially lost con-
troll Of her hind limbs. The mare died before
assistance could be obtained, and on opening
the body the dark-red congested stomach
showed the action of an acrid poison, and in
quiry brought out the fact Of the cropping of
the oleander, of the injurious qualities of
which the owner was entirely ignorant. As
this Ignorance is very widespread, it may be
well to say that all parts of the plant are
deadly. A very small quantity of the leaves
is fatal to the horse, as we have just seen.
The flowers have caused tho death of those
who oarelessly picked and alto them. The
branches, Invested Of their bark and used as
skewers, have poisoned the meat roasted on
them, and killed seven of the twelve people
who partook Of it"-Rurdl Neto- Yorker

We do not believe that pure glucose is an

to sell It under the name of cane sugar, when
1t ID but one-third as sweet, is fraud, and to
charge the price OF cane sugar, when it costs
