Grape may be renovated by thor
oughly brushing all dust from the ma
terial, sprinkling with alcohol, and

The richest grass grows on the
most fertile soil. 1t is this which
makes the good grazing lands of the
river bottoms annually o~verflowed. 1t

of fresh manure will be avoided. but if

posed, the n can hardly be spread

thus making a little or fair-sized pond,
whose waters would withstand the
evaporation of the summer, and thus
a v the weary farmer the daily tramp
with weary cattle in search for drink
And on many farms the dams could be
built where the water could easily b
conducted by irrigating trenches Out
over the pasture when feed is getting
short, or even into a cornfield when the
willing leaves are praying for rain, OF
into a potato patch when the pool
tubers are crying for a little water, ol
through the orchard when the crop il
trembling in the balance.
