Cultivation Of the Grape.

H. Clagett, writing in Rural World,
says: The history of the grape is cock
tensive with the history of man, and, as
the best of all the fruits, it is taken as
figure to represent or correspond to the
best fruits that man, in his life, should
bring forth. 1t ought to be found in
every garden or farm, and would be, to
much larger extent, if the people had
better knowledge of means of bringing it
to its highest perfection.
AS | have had many years experience
in cultivating, pruning and training it,
and having attained high degree of sue
cess, l propose to give all interested my
method.
will first give q brief outline of the
laws governing Its growth and production
of its fruit.
The grape, as well as all other plants, is
made up of elements collected from the
earth and air. That which the root col
lects from the earth can make no part of
the living tissues of the vine till they pass
up into the leaves and there meet and
combine with elements drawn from the
air. Therefore, the leaves, to perform
their functions fully, must have free &C
cess to fresh air and light. The land
must be in proper state of fertility, and
the ground stirred to the proper depth,
