MaXims for Grape Growers.

The Vine Dresser in a compact form gives
some very excellent advice in relation to the
propagation of grape vines as follows:
First-Prepare the ground in fall plant in
spring.
Second-Give the vine plenty of manure, ,
old and well decomposed; for fresh manure
excites growth hut does not mature it.
Third.-Luxuriant growth does not always
insure fruit.
Fourth,-D'g z deep, but plant shallow.
Fifth.-loung vines produce beautiful
fruit. but old vines p. oduce the richest.
SiXth.-Prure in au' 'umn to insure growth :;
but in the spring to prono.e fruitfulness.
Seventh.-Plant your vines before YOU put
up trellises.
Eighth.-Vines, like old soldiers, should
have good AIMS.
Ninth.-Prune spurs to one developed bud !;
for the nearer the old wood the higher flavor
ed the fruit.
Tenth.-Those who prune long must soon
climb.
Eleventh. Vine leaves love the sun; the
fruit the shade.
Twelfth.-Every leaf has bud at the base,
and either bunch of fruit or a tendril oppo-
site it,
Tbrteenth.-A tenlrl is an abortive fruit
bnnch-a bunch of fruit a productive tendril
Fourteenth A bunch of grapes without a
healthy leaf opposite is like ship at sea
without rudder-it can't come to port.

BY GEORGE RIRDsEYE.

Wife and babe are sleeping;
DO they dream that
Happy watch am keeping
Where my darlings liet
Gazing on my treasurers,
Grateful grows my mood
Source of all my pleasures,
Cause of all my good.
Mothers face is bending.
As IL guard To keep,
To her babe attending
Even in her sleep.
How the little charmer
Nestles to her breast,
Life can ne'er give warmer,
Purer home u resi-.
Picture this the dearest
On which love e'er smiled.
Which TO me ls nearest,
Mother. or her childl
Heart of mine, true mother
Loves tie, baby sweet,
Zach without the other
Must be incomplete.
Baby now Is moving.
Mothers slumber breaks:
With look Of loving
From her sleep she wakes;
Sees me there In waiting.
And II pleased surprise,
With IA joy elating,
