GRAPE CULTURE.
Some Interesting and Curious Facts from
the Census Reports.

A recent bulletin for the census de-
partment gives some interesting facts
in regard to the history of grape-grow-
ing in the United States. For more
than 100 years. says H Gardner.

of the agricultural division. efforts

varieties of grapes in the open air. al
ways, however, resulting IN failures,
except in California. where viticnlture
was introduced by the franciscan
farmers many years ago, and where
the foreign grapes grow to perfection.
Eastern growers finally turned their
attention to the Improvement of native
varieties, with great success.
In New York state. in what is known
as the Lake Keuka district, a grower
of grapes shipped his first crop.

York market. about 1915. by way Of
the New York and Erie canal. The
grapes we're delivered in good COM
dition. and the commission houses
handling them wrote encouragingly to
the shipper. advising further ship
ments- The next year the grower was
able to ship some 200 or 800 pounds
He oyerdid the matter, however. and
the New York market on grapes broke
under the pressure. 1t is estimated
that during this last season (1S90)
there have been shipped from this
same district and carried bv the differ

New York. Boston. Philadeiphia, and
other distributing markets about 20. 600
tons or 40. 600. 00o pounds of grapes

No one but the chiIdless wife can
know the longing she has for bairn
all her own. How she misses the
caress of baby hands and the little
clinging arms and tender kisses of
baby lipsl As the years go by and no
child appears to bless the home, no
matter how happy a one it is, she
knows there is something wanting.
When she gazes on happy mother
with her little ones with all the care
and trouble they are, still making
home so bright, then the hunger in
her heart is greater, and she only can
tell you how she longs for the carress
of baby arms. She sees in the dim
future the childless old age, when
other interests are waning-no son OF
daughter with little ones around the
hearthstone to recall happy by-gone
years. Children may be adopted, but
there must always be a sad remem-
brance that she has missed something
of sweet motherhooj. Of course there
is more freedom without children
and I often think God does not give
children to all that they may devote
time and talents to other things foI
the benefit of mankind, or that they
may look after some of the many
little motherless beings in the world
On the other hand, all children are
not blessings, and it would be fal
harder to see a beloved child turn out
badly than to have had none; but the
question is: Cannot all fathers an6
mothers so bring up their children
that there will be no black sheep?-
