Ration Of Cotton.seed Meal.

Henry Morse, OF Delaware county, y. Y,
who has become wealthy by dairying, says
that he has fed cO,tOn-seed meal 10 his COW 5
fJr eight We To. the first four in connection
with other grains and after that pure, eX-
cept while the cows were dry, and on coarse
fodder when they were given wheat bran
and such grains as was produced on the
farm. AS soon "a the COWS came in full
milk they wire given hay twice day, and
three quarts OF c0tt0n-seed meal In the
morning and two quarts At night. The
morning ration Of meal was mixed With Dix
quarts Of sweet, skinned milk. When al
pasture they received two quarts OF the meal
day. Following this practice. he was able
10 KEEP twenty live per cent. more cow
aud make twenty-five per cent. m.re butter
per COW than by any other grain method.
The manure from the COWS fed 50 heavily

Grape Culture.

\ correspondent Of the Louisville Courier
Journal writ, that grape vines should be
trained against "A wall; if convenient. the
wall Of house. They should be properly
pruned at the right time; and if tpe grapes
are inclined TO mildew they can be saved by
being kept dry from the time that they are
large as pea until ripe.
do not think, after careful eXamina-
lion. that insects had any part in the de.
structiOn Of the grape crop last season.
They did not attack them until mIldew,
from exposure 10 the dew and rain, had
ruined them. The grape cannot bear damp
ness. II must be dry and have plenty Of
sunshine in order to do well.
one culturist said that he sacked seven
teen thousand lunches Of grapes one sea-
son; that be should not do that any more,
hut should depend hereafter upon spraying
them. lie considered the grape enemy am
insect, and thought 10 kill the thing 10y
spraying. He has not reported yet. 50 far
rs know, and do not think he will find
that spraying will do away with the mil
dew, rust, or rot, or whatever We please 10
term the injury which comes la small
specks, at fret very small, that grow and
spread until the whole grape falls to the
ground.
One culturist thinks Of one thing and an
other Of something different; but, TO save
the grapes, they may be kept dry if inclined
10 rust. and that may be done with less
labor and at less cost than by slipping a
sack over each bunch. You scsn wrap
heavy. large wrapping paper about them,
lnclOsIng several punches in one paper
leaving room for thei development, or in
close IN any way that you can ind will pro
tect them from dampness. Wrap ing the
bunches in paper Is less tedious than placing
them in sacks, and can be done in One.fOurlh
the time, and il well done answers tn same
purpose. The paper or sack protects from
insects as well as from moisture. | have
known an advantage gained by cutting Out
the leaves from the vine, 80 that the grapes
could have the FL benefit Of air and sun
shine. And ] have been told that they car
be saved by covering the vines with boards
but have not seen that method tested.
