Ives well known dark purple variety,
the Vergennes light purple, and an ex-
quisite table grape.
The subject ofgrape culture needs to be
handled by specialists. If those who have
achieved success with the grape in Flori-
da will share their knowledge with the
public, this industry can be popularized
very rapidly. We confidently expect the
grape to become as important to Florida

Sea Weed as a Fertilizer.

Farmers living along the coast know
the value of sea weed, and many other
things that the ocean casts up, Tor fertili-
zero. From the rough coast of Maine
or less of this ''wrack' j as it is sometimes
called, thrown upon the beaches and
rocky shores by the incoming tides
and waves. 1t is really dead sea grass,
which, when thrown upon the fields, steams
and decays rapidly. 1t is well impreg-
mated by salt, which only adds to it's
value as a fertilizer. In England and
France the sea weed is also extensively
used, especially for growing potatoes,
and along the the Irish coast the natives
would hardly know how to get along
without the sea ''wrack."
The best way to use it, however, is to
gather it in the autumn, and mix it with
the stable manure, to lie all winter. By
spring it will be well rOtted, and on being
tossed over it makes fine, homogeneous
mass. No better fertilizer can be made
for the potato crop, and sea weed should
be utilized wherever it can be obtained.
In addition to this farmers along the sea
coast would do well to make the most of
the other fertilizers which are produced
for them. These are especially muscles,
which can be found in great abundance
i'll the bays and channels, and menhadden
fish, The latter can be caught in nets by
the ton at certain seasons of the year.
and it pays one to spend week or two
in catching them to spread on the fields.
The experiment with menhadden, moss
bunkers or bonj fish, as they are vari-
ously called, first attracted attention on
Long Island, in the early part of this cen
tury. These fish are now used as the ma
nure to the extent of tens, perhaps thous-
ands of millions to the great improve
ment of agriculture. The fishery industry
is very large and important, and thesup-
ply appears to be inexhaustible, often 100
tons being caught in single draught A
wise distribution of such fertilizers in the
spring will enlarge the yield very materi-
ally. j. D. MORROW.

Grapes In Florida.

parts OF Florida, is that of grape grow
ing and wine making. In some of the
northern, southern and eastern counties
certain varieties have been found to sue
ceed admirably and in the western cOun-
ties equally if not better success is to be
expected. Leon county has taken the
lead, mainly through the enterprise OF
Professor E. Dubois. Guided by expert
ence acquired in France he made extern
sive experiments with American varie-
ties, and selecting the best he planted of
them extensively. He has two large vine
yards near Tallahassee; and is contin-
ually increasing their area, besides aiding
Others to start vineyards in his neigh
borhood and elsewhere in the State
Professor Dubois has given greatrep-
utation to the Cynthiana and Norton's
Virginia as wine grapes, and his wines
certainly attest their excellence as well as
his skill as a wine maker. His sherry,
sauternes, claret, hook and port are of
superior quality, and where they have
been used, as at the hotel Ponce de Leon,
they are in high favor. There is no rea-
son to doubt that Florida can produce
finer wines than California where the
wine crop amounts to about twenty mil
lion gallons year. Moreover the vine
in California suffers from diseases that
are unknown here In fact, the healthi-
ness of the vine in Florida is one of the
most encouraging points about this in
dustry, which may be expanded indei
nitely without fear of overproduction. All
the wine countries together produce over
three thousand millions of gallons year,
and thousand millions more would un-
questionably find a ready market.
While Professor Dubois has been at
tracing widespread attention to his
Leon county vineyards, a like work has
been done for Orange county by some
parties from the State of New York, who
undertook the culture of the Niagara
grape near Orlando d few years ago.
They met with great success, and now
the firm of Haynes, Young & Baily, their
NICSbId NlIICt, CbI1O tHOlI w HIlO
grapes have become almost as famous as
Professor Dubois, his San Luis and Anda-
lusia vineyards, and his Cynthiana and
Norton grapes Like him, they have in
duced many others to engage in grape
growing. According to the Orlando Re-
porter, one of the most successful grape
growers in the State of New York recently
ordered of this firm 10000 vines of the
Niagara white or a vineyard they intend
to plant near SIT. Augustine.
For growing fresh grapes for the mar
ket, Florida enjoys advantages that can
not be excelled. The fruit can be placed
in the northern cities two or three months
earlier than that grown in New York or
New Jersey. 1t is expected that Niagara
White grapes from Florida will net 35
cents pound, or nearly $500 an acre of
bearing vineyard The California grow
ers have been obliged to take as low as 500
a ton for their grapes and in New Jersey
prices have gone nearly as low. On ac-
count of the great loss occasi )ned by
black rot, grape growingis likely to be
abandoned in New Jersey, and in Califor-
MIA much alarm has beeH caused by the
apnnarance Of a new disease of the vine

London's Famous Guilds.

The famous London companies OF
guilds have met in convention to con.
slider the plan of the city's County
Council for dividing up their enormous
wealth. The original purposes of the
guilds, says the County Council, are NO
longer served, and their usefulness has
passed. THE gross value of property
vested in seventy-four companies is es-
timated at Els, 600, 600, with probable
ity of large increase during the next
quarter of century. The available
revenue is taken ut GAO, 900, and the
ac' expenditure at G42j, 900. OF this
revenue, larger than that Of many a
German Grand Duchy, the companies
spend hundred and fifty thousand a
wear on objects of public use or benef-
cence akin to the charitable trusts Of
which they are the almoners. One hum
dred thousand pounds goes for "ban-
quoting" and another hundred thousand
ON management-tha is, for salaries Of
officers and the court fees payable to
members for attendance at meetings.
Finally. seventy-five thousand pounds
is spent on rates. taxes, repairs, and i'm
provements, including the restoration
and decoration of thirty-four halls. The
County Councils Committee point out
that the greater part of the companies
have long since discontinued to play a
prominent part in the municipal gov
eminent of the city, and that their
functions in regard to the regulations of
trades and the training of young men
have almost ceased.

Trapping Grasshoppers in Algeria


Iu consequence of the serious injury
inflicted upon the crops in Algeria last
year by the myriads of prasshoprers
which descended upon that country in
June and July, the Government has
this year provided, on a large scale, the
means for their destru ton which has
been so successfully employed by the
English farmers i'll Cyprus. The APP
paratGs consists of long pieces OF cheap
cotton cloth, yard in width, edged on
one side with strip of oil cloth six
inches in width, and each provided with
strings by which it can be fastened to
wooden stakes. When an invasion OF
the locusts is announced, trenches are
dug at right angles with the direction
of their approach. The stakes are then
driven in lines on the side of the trench
from which the approach is expected,
and the cloths hung vertically, forming
n curtain forty-two 10 forty-fiye inches
high, fitting closely TO the ground, and
with the oil cloth edge uppermost. Be
tween these curtains, at intervals of 200
or 200 yards, open spaces are left two
yards in width.
The march of the insects is in solid
phalanx, devouring everything eatable
as they 90. When they reach the cur
tain the grasshoppers climb readily to
the point where they encounter the oil
cloth. On this they slip and fall, and,
after several futile attempts, they Mt
tempt to clear the obstruction ut Jump.
Such MS succeed fall into the trench ON
tie further side, and, finding the
ground barren of food, usually make no
attempt to go further. The great ma
iority fail to Jump over the curtain, aud
seek to circumvcnt it. They thus pour
by myriads through the openings. At
these points the ditch is made deep and
wide, and the further slope covered
with sheets OF smooth zinc or tin, upon
which they are unable TO climb. They
are thus caught in masses, beaten to
death with the large wooden paddles,
and their bodies used for feeding hogs
or manure In some cares the hogs are
turned Into the trenches to kill their
own prey, but in general the work is
done by natives, shod in wooden sabots,
with which they trample the insects to
death.
Six thousand of these curtains and
100, 600 oaken stakes have been provid
ed by the government for use in Algeria
and will be distributed through the mil.
itaiy authorities, who are instructed TO
make details Of soldiers to assist in plac-
ing them and instructing the natives
in their use.

consists of one story mud huts too poor

pens. In large part of India, and
especially in the best part of this Gauges
country, the holdings average from two
TO three acres apiece. At four to the
family this represents half acre per

per square mile. When it is remem.
bered that these people live by agricul-
ture it will be seen that their condition
is far worse than that Of China OF any
