All varieties Of grape vines not thoroughly
hardy, should receive some winter protection to
secure the best results, and it is claimed by
ny that il pays To give protection to the hardest
kinds even. Some growers attribute their sue
cess with Delaware, Duchess, Rodgers Hy birds,
etc., simply to covering, while their nrighhurs
as signally fail with the same varieties. As the
train mt in both cases is exactly alike, the
different results only he attributed To the
protection given in the one and its omission
IN the other. The process is simple. and depends
on the extent of the operation After the vines
have shed their leaves aud matured their wood.

the main condition necessarily preceding all
this. on which depends the entire
failure of the whole operation, is tho maturity

Politics and Rnsinas.

Some men don't seem 10 understand the differ
cnce between political assertions and business
facts. Three or four days before the election. n
Baltimore lawyer made political speech in a
country village. Being n red-hot Republican.
he naturally gave the Democratic party the best
he had, and among other things asserted that
IN case Of Democratic success the country
would have to pay the Confederate bonds Two
or three days after the election, man walked
into the LAWYERS, opened valss and took from
il 500, 900 of rebel bonds, and said:
'What are they worth r.
