sire to become such.
MIR. Samuel Egger. of near
Woodsficld, has mammoth grape
stalk, nineteen inches in circumfer7
ence. Mr.. Egger expects to make
about 60 gallons of wine from the
fruit of the oncv vine. The vine passes
entirely around building near
which it was planted. the distance c
being about thirty feet. If YOU can
heat, that arise and say so.
1t is the Sunlight on the leaves
that ripcns fruit, and not the sun
light on the fruit itself. The crude
sap from the roots must 90 up to
and through the leaves and be acted
upon by the suns rays before it is
fit TO nourish and ripen tho fruit.
The leaves are the lungs of plant.
For the same reason leaves should
not he stripped from vines or vcget
ables.

nest skin and more weight of juice.
Thick skin oranges are apt to be
dry; they either way less because of
having so much skin or because of
the poverty of the juice.-Er.

of praise for their efforts to develop
this field and~we hope will he sue
cessful in finding a gusher.
No man should get mad because
a newspaper duns him for money
a dun is not an Impeachment of the
subscribers integrity, but simply
an out-croping of the EDITORS neces-
sitics. For instance, thousand
men owe q man from one 10 fOnr dol
lars. He has to dun them To get
money to pay his expenses. Instead
Of getting mad because the editor
asks him for his honest dues. the
Subscriber should thank the editor
for waiting so patiently and pay him
like a gcntlcman.-E.r.
