Layering Grape Vines.

While this is very simple affair
with vine growers, it may not be so to
some of our readers who may have
strong vines, which they would wish
to propagate from. Leave a cane that
starts near the ground pretty long in
pruning, which should be laid fat on
the ground, and be left there until the
buds have grown six inches, then lay
the cane aside, and make a gutter six
inches deep and lay the vine in it,and
peg it down if necessary; cover the
cane about one inch with soil.
When the shoots are a foot high,
pinch the lower two leaves off, and fill
the trench level, pressing the ground
down firmly.
But before doing this, there are some
other matters worth attending to. If
it is shoot jointed variety, every al
ternate shoot should be rubbed off, or
there will be too many, and it is bet
ter to have a few we'll rooted plants,
than large number of poor ones.
Another good plan is to give the cane
little twist between the joints, and
wind it under the shoot with knife,
it will greatly facilitate the roofing.
This causes the sap to ooze out which
soon calloses, out Of which the roots
come.
Such hard wooded kinds as. Norton
will be greatly assisted by doing this.
When taking such up in the fall, it
will be better rooted than if this has
not been done.

Horse Stabling.

Stable accommodation is very i'm
perfect on many farms. The only
rule by which the length of stable
can be regulated, is the number Of the
stalls required, and these should never
be less than from 5 feet inches to 6
feet wide. 1t is desirable that the
width of stable for farm horses he at
least Is feet, in order that ample space
may be available behind them. 1t has
for some time been, and still ought to
be, desideratum in the construction
of stable, to have the walls built
hight may be higher than any other
portion of the farm-steading-and the
apex of the roof "open." When the
building is high and 'open,' horses
thrive much better than in stables,
which are small and close. Small
stables are very Objectionable, being
generally badly ventilated and injuri-
GUS to the equine constitution. The
temperature in the stable should be
abodt So degrees in winter, and SIS de-
grees to go degrees in summer. Pur-
ity of atmosphere is essential to the
strong, healthy and muscular devel-
opment of all animals, aud especially
horses. The partitions between the
horses should never be shorter than
about nine feet; two feet of which are
required for the manger.

Selling Pigs in Summer.

AS the pig is grass eating animal,
this taste for grass or roots should al
ways be gratifed. Many farmers have
no pig pasture, and keep their pigs in
pen, or pen and small yard. They
seem quite to forget the nature of the
pig, and treat him as if he were only
fitted to digest grain or other concen-
trated food. This may be response
BILE for many of his ailments.
1t is easy for the farmer to furnish
clover or other green food to his pigs
in summer. This animal is not very
particular; there are many weeds in
the garden that he will take and re-
turn his thanks in polite grunt. He
appreciates all such attentions shown
him, and will testify it by better health
and growth. This is a matter of much
Importance, as bushel of corn fed
with clover will often produce as much
growth as bushel and half feed a.
lone. Animals grow best when they
are in good health and have a vigor-
GUS appetite, and the clover or other
green food keeps their digestion good.
When the clover is large, the pigs
will eat it better if it is run through
cutter. This mixes stalks and leaves
so as to render it more succulent.-
The pig will eat more clover or grass
than is generally supposed. Shoats
of so to so lbs. will eat from 6 to s
pounds of green clover per day. We
have found the best way to feed was
to run the clover through cutter and
mix with meal. In this way. the clio.
yer and meal was eaten together, and
this mixing of the bulky and concen-
trated foods results IN a more perfect
digestion of the corn meal or other
ground food. We tried go accurate an
experiment on this, that the result is
not left to conjecture.-National Lire

How 1t Works.

An Augusta correspondent of the Argus.

which was published in its columns yes

working, under the manipulation of the
New Age ring. in this city, which may
open the eyes of republicans who are in
different about the election of Mr.. Phil
brock next Tuesday. The following is
the letter:
AUGUSTA. March Is.
To the Editor of the Argus:
No doubt you and your honest readers are
glad 20 know that the move of honest men in
this citv 'is taking no back tracks. On Mon
,lav the five republican and two demo-
cratic aldermen, newly elected. met and made

a wise act.
As no choice has vet been made for Mayor.

Notice to Quit.

The free trade democrats are assuming
lofty airs. They are serving notice upon
democrats who favor protective tariff to
fall in in support Of the Morrison tariff bill
or 90 over to the republican party. Mr..

nal sent the following to his paper from

between the democratic party and Pennsyl-
yania. If Mr.. Randall and his followers
cannot support 50 conservative a measure
they can support nothing except a high
tariff bill. proposed by the republicans,
and in that event. they had better pack
up their grip-sacks and go over to the re-
publicans. where on this question they
properly belong. 1t is full time that mas
querading should end. The democratic
masses are sick of it. and il would have
been brought to round turn two weeks
ago but for the determination of Mr..
Carlisle and Mr.. Morrison to exhaust
eyery means of Cancellation before they
opened the campaign which the present
organization of the House made from the
first a foregone conclusion"
There are many democrats ontside of
Pennsylvania who are opposed to MIR. Nor
rson's bill. The order to ''pack up their
grip sacks and go over to the republicans"
isaddressed to thin as much as to the imme-
diate followers of Mr.. Randall. There are
many of that sort in Maine, laborers. lum-
bermen. farmers, manufacturers, owners
in iron works. to whom the passage of Mr..
Morrison's bill would bring disaster. We
imagine that if they are to choose between
supporting free trade or leaving the demo-
cratic party. they will accept the latter
alternative. Protection is not n mere
theory to them, it is something tangible.
practical, substantial. and which as men OF
intelligence they will not abandon to fol-
low any party that accepts free trade as
leading principle.
