Preventing Rot i'm Concords,

A gentleman who has lost a number Of
crops of Concord by the rot and has be-
come discouraged in trying to raise them,
wrote to Judge Samuel Miller, of Bluff
ton, saying he thought he would dig them
up OF graft them TO other varieties, and
asked his opinion about it. Although the
reply was not written for publication, yet
we have taken the liberty to publish it, as
the directions given may be of service to
others. Judge Miller says: GAS to your
two acres of COncOrus, | would advise
you to give them one trial more. Prune
pretty closely and about two weeks be-
fore blOssoming have the ground perfectly
clean, having previously carried out and
burned every vestige of the prunings as
well as all the loose bark taken off the
vines. Then as soon as the punches show
themselves pinch the smaller ones off,
leaving about One-third the number that
show themselves. An oYer-crop helps the
rot. When the blOssOming is over and the
fruit well set, sprinkle air-slaked lime
over the ground pretty freely, and if some
hits the vine it will do no harm. When
the fruit is half grown give the vines a
good sprinkling with water in which car
bOlic acid has been mixed in the proper
ton OF one gallon of the acid to ten or
fifteen of water. All this will be some
trouble, but | believe it will pay. If the
crop hits you will have punches of nearly
one pound each that will command double
the price that ordinary grown Conc0rds
will bring. This lime and carbolic acid
affair l have read has each secured a crop
independent, so that to use both would
give double chance. COlmdn's Rural

The farmers Lot.

A great many farmers have more land
than they are able to manage properly.
They have TO depend too much on hired
help, and many times they Will let part
of their work 90 by default rather than
90 to the expense Of hiring. Such farmers
would make more clear money by having
no more land than they can work advan-
tageOusly themselves. 1t is not economy
TO stint work on the farm, when crops
need to be put in or when they are to be
cultivated or gathered, any more than it
is economy to only half feed or attend to
your stock. Everything about farm
needs to be attended to at the proper time,
just assmuch as any other kind Of bust
ness. Every business man knows that if
he has more business than he can manage,
or neglects to attend to his business at the
proper time and continues to do so, will
go to the wall sooner or later, so it is, in
measure, with the farmer; If he has more
land than he can manage or more stock
than he can attend to, will let great pOr-
ton of his farm grow up TO weeds or his
stock suffer for attention, will lose money
in the end. Farmers, look into this mat
ter and see if there can't be an improve
ment made in this direction.
The farmers of to-day, as a rule, are as
intelligent and independent as any other
class OF people, and there is no reason in
the world why they should not be content
with their lot; nor why they should envy
the professions, or even the gentlemen of
leisure of the cities. The city people have
their troubles and heartaches that the
farmer knows not of. Many of them can
scarcely get along and their pride leads
them to initiate their more wealthy neigh
bors, so they pinch and stint at home so
they can appear well when they go out in
company or on the street; yet at heart
they suffer and hope on and on, but their
hopes are seldom realized. The merchant
and manufacturer watch the crops as
anxiously as does the farmer, and if there
is a failure they get the blues as badly, if
not worse, than the farmer. They depend
upon the crop of the farmers for their
success in trade. If the crops fail, there
are long faces all around in every branch
of business.
The minister and lawyer, too, have their
troubles; if the flock fail to give its sup
port or the client fails to come around,
then are care and anxiety, if not worse.
But the farmer who is fortunate enough
to own a small farm is sure of enough to
eat for himself and family, and OF the best,
too, if he desires. He may not become
wealthy, but SO sure as the sun shines
Heaven in their coed time, he need not
suffer or even want. We believe in the
country, we believe in the farm, and the
farmer that is wise Will be content with
his condition and stick by his farm, and
let no other notion drive him from it to the
citY.-kdrmeTS' Gazette.

Getting Potatoes Eariy,

Some years ago / conceived the idea of
planting my potatoes with shoots to them.
Probably the sprouts suggested the idea
at any rate l carried out the plan, and
have been SO well pleased with it that l
have followed it for three years. A few
weeks before planting time l select my
seed potatoes and set them in warm
place to sprout. By the time my ground
Is ready the shoots are about three inches
in length. The potatoes are handled care
fully so as not to break the growth, and
cut up in suitable sizes, as in the ordinary
way. One strong shoot is left to each
piece. The sets must be put into the
ground carefully, of course, or the shoots
will be broken off. AS growth commences
at once, the green tops show in a few days.
There is easily saying of two weeks
time at the start. Those who have rather
low ground which cannot be worked very
early in spring, as | have, will find this
method will enable them to compete with
their neighbors on higher ground, with
success. By July 10 l was using fine
Beauty of HebrOns an excellent early sort
by the way planted April %. They were
not then fully ripe, though the yellow tint
in the leaves was getting quite percepti-
bic. Generally the tops are dead at this
date, but an unusually fine potato season
kept them growing later this year.-Gdr-

Lye as a Winter Wash for Trees.
Complaint has been made that in some
instances the use OF I've as a wash for
trees infested by scale insects has proved
injurious to the buds. We do not doubt
that this is true. Lye is one of those very
useful agents that must De handled with
discretion and with due regard to the con-
dition OF the trees and the object to &c at
tanned. In the first issue of this paper
will be found this sentence: "Owners of
trees infested by insects should beware of
spraying them with strong I've after the
buds swell, as there is great danger Of
serious injury in so doing. The safer rule
is to apply I've as spray only to decidu-
GUS trees in winter when they are per-
fectlv dormant. Hundreds of authentic
cases can be cited where dormant trees
have been thoroughly washed with con-
centrated I've, one pound to the gallon of
water, without apparent injury to the
trees, but with very great benefit. We
infer, from published results of expert
ments, that the apricot and peach come
under this head, but we cannot speak from
personal experience. Their reputed ten
derness may arise from the fact that the
sap stirs in them earlier than some other
trees, and date which might be safe for
spraying the apple would be late for them.
Even when the buds are swelling there is
no uniform rule as to the danger of in

while plums treated at the same time were
unhurt. although the latter were so far
advanced as to show white lines between
the bud scales. The liquid used for spray
ing should be we'll stirred before taking it
from the vessel in which mixed, and fire.
quently in the barrel or tank in which 1t
is carried through the orchard, otherwise
the strength of it, as used at different
stages of the work, may vary greatly.
Neglect of this precautlOn will account
tor much of the mischief attributed TO
I've. The strength of the I've needed to
destroy scale insects seems to vary con-
siderably with the species to be killed, the
season of the year, and, as Professor Hill
gard has pointed out, the weather at the
time of spraying and for some time after.
At San Jose the best results seem reached
with one pound of commercial concen-
trated I've TO one gallon Of water for Aspl-
diOtus perniciOsus. We have used the
same on apple trees in the University or
chard, with indifferent results as to Kill

hand, One-half pound to a gallon was
there applied to the pears, infested by
both the apple scale and the white or pear
scale, AspidiOsuS rapaX, and nearly

In this latter case, for some weeks follow
