Growing Grapes and Plums.

The one great mistake which | find
made by amateur growers VI the grape
Is too free enrichment, especially with
coarse manure. Commercial fertilizers
are much to be preferred, especially
such rs are prepared for vim } ald ap-
plication. For many years have used
ground raw bone, rather coarse, and
unleached ashes, upon my vines: and
the results have been quite satisfactory.
One to two quarts Of each, dug into the
ground as evenly as possible within an
area of six feet about each vine, each
spring seems about right. The same
tt eatment seems also to suit my straw
berry beds, which we placed at a little
distance-say eight feet from the
vines. The vines are set eight feet
apart. AT the outer edge of The straw
berry beds is planted a row of Mooer's
Arctic Plum, a hardy variety, an early
bearer, and very productive of fruit
rather smaller than Lombard, but other
wise much like it. l do not like to say
that this is a curculio-proof plum, but 1
have grown it for over twenty years,
and AN yet to see a single mark of the
Little Turk" upon its fruit. All
other plums | have given up partly be-
they are not sufficiently hardy for
our climate, although this Is a minor
matter since | have adopted the method
of laying down my plum trees in the
fall. This is a very easy and simple
practice. When planted, the roots are
cut off on two sides of the trees, and
they are set with the remaining roots
cross-wise of the rows, so that in the
fall they can be turned down all one
way like the tongue of a wagon, and
covered with earth. Even the most
tender plums may be grown in our eli
mate by this method; but | prefer the
Arctic on account Of its exemption
from the curculio.-T. II. H., in Amer

Farm Notes.

| HAVE used a New England Tiger
horse-rake six seasons and have broken
only one tooth, though my farm is very
stony, and the rake has mostly been
run by young persons, who have let
the teeth bang down upon the stones.
The tooth was broken by getting
cramped in turning.
Agricultural Editor:-The "horn
fly " has certainly come into Vermont,
tormenling the cows, robbipg their life
blood, and greatly diminishing the
profits of the summer dairy. He is
about half the size of the house fly,
which he much resembles. The rem
edy after they have come is to cover
the hair of the animal with some kind
of grease or oil. The fly is found more
upon the shoulders and sides out of the
reach of the tail, and these parts need
special attention. l have used castor
machine oil, applying it with a brush.
AS the fly breeds in the droppings, if
these are scattered in the pasture, the
fly cannot multiply; but this would
take much time. The pest came from
Europe, ard has rapidly extended over
this country.
MY Sanford corn towers up far above
my head. The earliest planted MAY

see more and more clearly the benefit
of home-miXed fertilizers. Two hun
dred pounds of acid phosphates at
seventy five cents pei hundred, and one
hundred pounds of muriate of potash at
81 20 plus the freight at carload rates
from Boston (Which l have not yet been
able to learD)-these quantities make a
mixture for one acre put in the hill with
the corn planter. The land is MANFRED
broadcast with stable manure. This
fertilizer contains about fifty pounds of
actual potash, and twenty-eight OF phos-
phoric acid for the three hundred
pounds. With me, the acid phosphate
does just as well as dissolved bone
black, though the latter costs ST. more
per ton. My chemicals come in the car
with an agents supply of fertilizers.

The Bright Side.


There Is many a rest in the road of life,
If we Only would stop to take it,
And many a tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make II!
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better to hope, II ough the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous cloud is riftedi
There was never a night without a day.
Or an evening without a morning;
And the darkest hour, ms the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There Ia many a gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That Is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of a little child,
or a mothers prayers to heaven;
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with a ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, slender threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends.
And sit and grieve and wonder.

THERE is no publication Of recent
issue on farm matters Of such practical
Importance and value as the " Report
on Dairying," of the Vermont Expert
ment Station, which is now reprinted
as a separate Bulletin, for a copy OF
which we are indebted to Professor
Cooke, director of the station. Pro-
lessor Cooke has won a world wide rep
uta ion in agricultural science by his
admirable work in this position; and it
is one of the mislortupes of our small
state that the winning of such a repu-
tation is the almost certain precursor
of the winners removal from the state
AS an expert in agricultural science
and practice, Professor Cooke has no
superior anywhere. His dairy school
has attracted almost worldwide atten-
ton and repute. OF course he must
now be taken away, to some institution
that can pay him better than ours. But
if our whole agricultural college had
been manned by men like Professor
Cooke, and managed in all particulars
as they would have managed it, it
would by this time have become the
most noted school of agriculture upon
the American continent.

DID you ever think of how many
merchantable and marketable things
besides common butter aud cheese can
be made from milk and cream? If not,
it might pay you to give the subject
more attention; for an increase in the
consumption of cow-products is one of
the most important of all business mat
tiers TO the owners of cows.

le earliest good grape.

A GOOD authority on swine says:
An examination of pigs dying with
what is popularity called the thumps
has revealed the cause as fatty genera
ton about the heart and lungs. 1t is
brought on by high feeding, with little
or no exercise. This usually occurs in
the early spring eason when pigs are
naturally inclined to stay too close to
their nests and beds. Fat-forming foods,
especially corn, without stimulant food
and insufficient exercise is the cause of
this. Drive the pigs out of their beds
and make them take exercise and give
them a s~ucculent ration daily. This
will prevent thumps, but it is hard to
cure them once they have it.

The Dairy Worlds article, which is
from the pen of Professor L. L. Van
Slyke, and gives quite full and we'll
illustrated details in regard to the max
ing of the popular Edam and Gouda
cheeses, would no doubt prove inter-
esting, instructive and encouraging to
many Vermont farmers who are ear
nestly DESTROYS of making the most of
their opportunities. All of the opera
tions are carefully described, and,
without being a cheese expert, we see
no reason why Yankee ingenuity and
perseverance could not master the art,
and give to those who would take the
trouble to do 30 a profitable outlet for
their milk. On a good many farms
butter-making is not easily or conven-
iently followed, where perhaps fancy
cheese-making would suit the condi-
tions much better. There is certainly
such a thing as fancy cheese, as well as
fancy butter; and there is no reason on
earth why Vermont dairymen cannot
make themselves proficient in such an
art. In all our large cities there are
many families which have in their
travels learned to like some or all of
the fancy cheeses of Europe. 1t is be-
coming fashionable to have them upon
the table, and it seems a shame that our
dairy men and women should lack the
enterprise to undertake a promising in
dustry of this character.

WE came to this thought when read
ing an article in the last issue of the
Dairy World, a monthly publication
which we believe, without exaggera-
ton, that no farmer who keeps cows
can afford to be without. 1t is issued
at So Washington street, Chicago, at 81
a year. That article discusses and de-
scribes two fancy varieties of cheese,
Edam and Gouda. Governor Flower
of New York, in his last annual mes
sage, made some observations suggest
ing the desirability of greater diversifi-
cation in our agricultural products.
Referring to the manufacture of cheese,
the governor asks: Why should farm
ers cater to English tastes by exporting
cheese at eight cents a pound, when
there is an abundant home market for
fancy cheeses, bringing many times the
price?" -
IT is certainly true, and widely ac-
knowledged, that the general improve
ment which has taken place in the
average quality of butter in this
try during the past quarter of a century
has very much increased the consump
ton per head of population, of that
commodity. The same result would
unquestionably follow from a like i'm
provement in our ordinary farm and
factory cheeses. No country in Europe
consumes so little cheese per head of
population as the United States; and
while this is partly due to the high price
of meat in Europe, there can be no
doubt that where cheese is good enough
ii is used largely upon the tables Of the
more wealthy portion of our population.
But in order to get the sorts of cheese
watch their taste demands, these rich
epicures are compelled to send across
sea for a supply. Yet there is no diff
Guilty and no secret in the way Of such
a manufacture in the farm houses of
America,--that is, no difficulty save
that which arises from a want of energy
and enterprise.

IN this connection it is worth while TO
note that it is not always richness so
much as flavor that is looked for in
these fancy cheeses. For instance, we
are told that Edam cheese is a sweet
curd cheese, made from partially skim
med milk. 1t INT to the market in
the form of round, red balls, each
weighing from three and one-half to
four pounds when cured. They are
largely manufactured in Northern Hol-
land and derive their name from a
town which is famous as a market for
this kind of cheese. Milk from which
one-fourth to one-third of the fat has
been removed is used. Too great pains
cannot be taken in regard to the condi-
ton of the milk. 1t should be fresh.
free from every trace of faint; in brief
it should be in as perfect condition as
it is possible to have milk"

WE have never yet rec )guized any alb
solute necessity that the United States
should choose a "national flower "
any more than a national garden vege-
table, or a national fruit; but as others
are making a good deal of stir on the
subject, and there seems to be more or
less anxiety to have the thing settled,
we are inclined TO give our vote to the
maize. Still, if maize is selected, be-
ing a dincious plant-bearing its male
and female flowers separately-a new
question at once arises, as to whether
we shall take the "siik," or the "spip-
de-" to represent the nation" On
the whole, would it not be quite as
well, if not better, that every state
should have its flower, and a nosegay
composed of the whole of them should
represent the Union? If the United
States is q " nation" it is certainly so
in a highly modified sense, as compared
with other political organizations so
styled; for in this nation the supreme
power cannot be localized, save in the
hands of its individual citizens. This
is a Federal Republican indissoluble
Union of indestructible States.

WI hope that by the above remarks
we may stimulate some readers to look
in the matter, and try if they cannot
see their way clear to investigate the
subject fully. Vermont is handy to the
wealthiest cities in the country. Our
farm people are already at the head of
the dairy industry in many points, and
might easily be so in all. Too much
butter is being made, and it would be "a
relief to the market, and doubtless
might also be a profitable change for a
certain number of our diaries to take
hold of the subject here referred to.

For the past three years the Green
Mountain grape has proved a perfect
success in our garden. 1t is fully ripe
by the middle of September, and it has
absolutely not a fault as a first-rate
dessert grape, except a rather too weak
adhesion of the fruit to its stem. But
this does not materially injure it for a
near market. 1t is, without any doubt,
the earliest good grape.

AN exchange remarks, editorially,
that Never was the bait being so
plentifully scattered over the country
as at present by the butter powder fell
lows, and so eagerly snapped up by
those who want TO get something for
nothing. The woods are full of those
who have invested and have caught
nothing-but themselves. Why is this
so hard to find out, for the very men
who catch at this contemplate fraud
are the very men who are so loudly de-
n%ouncing ~rascality in others?" In this
matter we have lever thought it to be
any part of u editorial duty to give
warning to our readers, for there is not
the slightest danger that any honest
man could be 80 entrapped; and we are
perfectly willing that dishonest ones
should get a needed lesson, though
there is small likelihood hat it will i'm
prove their morality.

AN exchange remarks that one of
the most promising things about the
fact of getting a farmer of intelligence
at the head of the department of agri-
culture is the hope that he will be able
to abate the gigantic humbug known as
the free seed distribution. He may not
be able to do this at once, for he must
carry out the laws as he finds them;
but he can do much towards contning
the distribution towards the first intent
of the law-the introduction of new and
rare things not easily to be had from
dealers"
