the ground had changed in like manner,
but not in the same degree.
The lunches were turned and left on
the ground uncared for as before until
October 9th, when, being now perfect
raisins, they were taken up and placed
with other lunches of raisins in plain
box, three feet long, two feet wide and one
foot deep. They now weighed only half
a pound together, having lost pound in
their tussle with the sun. In this sweat
box" they were sold to the fruit-packers
for two and a quarter cents, or at the rate
of four and half cents per pound. At
this rate the whole family of sister vines
on an acre yielded SIS 80. Several other
small punches of grapes had grown and set
for a second crop, but were disregarded
The packer merely lifted the two little
punches carefully out of the sweat-box,
and placed them neatly and tastefully in
a pretty pasteboard box. lined with paper,
elegantly engraved and beautifully colored,
with y pounds of similar raisins. He
sold them in their new dress at wholesale
at 10 cents per pound, or 5 cents for the
two little punches from our young vine not
YET two years old. At this rate, the entire
acre would have brought S34.
The retailer sold the box containing the
two lunches of raisins for 30 cents, or at
the rate of $50 &c per acre.
In January, 1882, the vine was again
pruned by having its branches cut back as
before.
In September nine pounds of grapes
were cut from the vine and laid upon the
ground to dry.
About November 1st they were sold as
before, in the sweat-box, at cents per
pound. The nine pounds of grapes had
become three pounds of raisins, and
brought l3l cents, very nearly the cost of
the land, or SCI so per acre.

About February 1st it was planted twelve
inches deep in the midst of square piece
of land measuring eight feet on side.
Two buds were exposed above ground, the
land, at 800 per acre, cost about fourteen
cents.
About September 1st precocious bunch
of grapes was pinched off to repress I'M
seemly forwardness, and to impart mod
est demeanor and habits of moderation in
the infant vine.
In January, 1881, the two branches
which had grown three feet long from the
two buds, were cut off SO close to the vine
that only two buds were left on each
branch. The vine then looked very much
like it did when it was only little stick
the year before.
About May LIST the branches which sprang
from the four buds had grown to be over
four feet long, and had reached out toward
and touched similar branches ON sister
vines eight feet away.
About September Doth two nice little
punches of muscat grapes were cut from
the branches near the vine and laid upon
the ground. The punches weighed to-
gether pound and half.
September 10Th, the punches had fiat
tened down as though they had been
gently pressed by the warm hand of the
sun; the upper part had changed in color
from its greenish amber to the purple
brown of the raisin; the lower part next to
