Cultivation of Grapes.

A California paper gives some inter
esting facts relative to the growing OF
grapes Ii says: 1.-The total expense
of cultivating an acre of grapes is S15;
the curing and packing of an acre of
grapes, making 100 boxes OF raisins,
$55. The average price of raisins for
the last four years has been about 81. GO
per bog. Rutting the price at 81. so
per box for the four grades, we have G
total net profit of s95 an acre. Many
VINEYARDS do better than the above.
VINEYARDS have frequently been known
TO produce grapes enough the first year
attee planting to pay expenses of cul-
uyation. The second year brings from
$50 to $50 per acre gross; third year,
$50 to SIS. New York Telegram.
