FARMERS COLUMN
Drafting the arnnnr,ne.

Numerous inquiries have been made
this spring as to the method of grating
the grapevine, but too late for reply to
be given in time to be useful this season.
Some of the writers propose to take wild
grapevines. and use them as stocks upon
which to graft desirable varieties. This
would be very poor economy An old
vine of any kind is rarely worth rclnov-
ing, and least of all, a wild one. Such
vines are poorly furnished with roots.
and would make very poor stocks. lfa
one already has an old vine of poor
variety, and wishes to graft II with
more desirable kind, he can do so by
digging down and inserting the cions
below the surface of tile. ground The
proper season for this operation is in the
fall, when vegetation is at rest. If the
old. root is in healthy condition, n very
vigorous growth will follow. Another
method of grating is to insert the cion
in a strong cane, or branch of the vine.
selecting one that may be bent down,
and have the union of STOCK and cion,
with Joint or two of the cane, covered
with soil. The method known as whip
grating is employed, the cion and stock
being held together by tie, instead of
wax. The grated cane is then laid in
shallow trench, in such manner that
bud or two of the cion will be above
ground. This, it will be seen, is com
bination of laycring and grating. The
cion is nourished at first by the old vine
but in the course of the season, the
buried portion of the cane will produce
abundant roots, and in the fall may be
separated from the parent plant. This
operation should be performed early in
spring, before there is danger of copious
bleeding" which might prevent the
union. 1t may also be done upon the
new growth, after the shoots of the sea-
son hive become sufficiently matured,
in this case using cions of similar new
growth. This method with new wood
we have not tried, but it is said to be
successful. Nearly all of our hardy
grapes are grown SO readily from cut
tings, and come into bearing so soon,
that this is the usual and least trouble

OF all classes of business men, fruit
growers should be the slowest to take
things from hearsay. Nothing but de-
monstrable facts should satisfy them.
Their business is dealing with Futures, ("
too far remote to be tritied with. They
plant trees TO bear fruit, not next
autumn, like field of corn, but five or
twenty years from now, Hence they
must be very sure that the tree they
plant this spring is not only of the best
age and shape, but of the variety best
adapted to their purpose. How are they
to know this? Only in. one way-by
actual experiment. A grower sees a
beautiful specimen of fruit, and finds it
highly recommended. Thefruit pleases
him; as a specimen it seems perfect; IL
unfortunately IL was grown many MI 3s

to bay five or ten trees, plant chem in a
specimen orchard and see. In due tiniit
he will know whether to plan tha
variety by the hundred, or dig up th
rees he has. If every one of lis neigh.
5ors also had a few. trees ON trial, theil
united testimony would be conclusive
for that locality. This should apply tC
small fruits as well. The ''Big Bob

The leading aim of the best breeders
now seems to be TO breed for the butter
record. This is so much the case, that
the great majority of Jersey cows that
have a record below fourteen pounds of
butter week, are comparatively cheap,
while those with Il record of fourteen
pounds a week, upwards to twenty-five
and thirty pounds week are compare
lively high. Those at the top of the
scale are sought for and bring fabulous
prices, or what would be called such u
few years ago. Great emphasis is put
upon their butter record, and the cOndi-
ton of the tests, as to rations and previ-
GUS feed of COW, continually grow more
precise and satisfactory. The aim is,
to show the value OF given animal ON
specified value of rations, as machine
for making butter, or what the COW will
do on grass alone, in flush feed. These
tests are made under the supervision of
the American Jersey Cattle Club, or
under the direction of such witnesses as
secure impartiality and give entire con-
fidence in their correctness. These
butter records of the Jerseys are quite
remarkable, compared with the average
yield Of common COWS. They are re-
markable especially. as showing the
prepotency of bulls. .-Am. 1gricuituist.

The New Orleans Picayune has the
following notice of Michigan's display
at the Exhibitions: Recently ueat
and tasteful pavilion has been erected
in the Michigan space, in which is to be
seen an extensive exhibit of glass from
the Detroit City Glass Works. Here
are shown enormous hollow cylinders,
monster glass globes and large plates of
this transparent material. This glass
represents one of the most extensive in
dustries in the state.
An interesting and extensive display
of agricultural implements of all sorts
from a cotton hoo 10 wheat harvester,
shows the extent and variety Of this in
dispensable class of manufactures. The
grain, vegetables and other food prod
ucts of Michigan are fully shown, and
they illustrate tie excellence of tho
agricultural machinery, the fertility of
the soil and the industry of the people.
There is specially in wooden ware
made from the native cedar and juniper,
that embraces every conceivable article.
An exhibit OF woodenware is also to
be seen in an extensive collection of
sabots or wooden shoes.
The display of wool is very complete,
and showing the graded varieties.
Michigan in 1884 clipped over 1S,O00,-

large wooi-producing states. her pro. d

also been placed in tho exhibit in the
