The ringing of grape vines is tech
nical term used to describe the cutting
away Of the bark of last years growth,
SO as to prevent its return to the root.
and thus holding the whole of 1t for
the use of the present years crop. It
can be practised more readily and sue
cessfully on the grape than on any
other kind of fruit, as the new punches
are always grown on shoots of the
previous years growth, and are cut
away soon after the fruit upon them
is ripened. Yet the obstruction of the
flow of sap is often affected in
other fruits than the grape by bending
down the branches which contain the
fruit, thus making it larger and ripen-
ing it earlier. This with most other
fruits is regarded as an advantage. But
where grape vines have been ringed it
is found that their fruit has less sweet
ness, and though it appears larger, its
taste is insipid. It is found, too that
the partial failure to return the sap
to the root lessons the growth of the
vine DSioW lAc IiAS anu increases us
vitality. Wherever ringed grapes have
once been sold, buyers are apt to be
suspicious of very large or extra early
fruit, and will often ask if it has been
produced by ringing. 1t may, however,
pay to ring some extra early grapes,
80 as to get them into the market while
the price for grapes is high. without
regard to the quality of the fruit.

ROOFING Cuttings.

In roofing cuttings, success depends
a good deal upon the condition of the
branch that is selected for the pur-
pose. 1t must not be too green or too
old. If the former, it will decay be-
fore roots start: if too old roots often
refuse to start. When bent between
the fingers, if it seems inclined to
break but does not, it is in about the
ct condition to root. Experience is the
best guide in this regard, as it is diff
icult matter to make clear in words.
Clear sand is the best medium in which
to root the slips sand that is gritty
and sharp, rather than fine.

HORTICULTURAL.
THE VELVET BEAN.
a new Product, said to BE Of Great


A New Product, Said to BE of Great
Value to Farmers In Many Ways.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun writing from Orlando, Fla, says:
/ send you herewith a sample of the
new Florida product the wonderful
velvet bean. Up to two years ago it
was grown here in limited way,
mainly as trellis shade; but it being
discovered that 1t was invaluable for
all kinds of stock as forage and a
phenomenal fertilizer for fruit trees,
and for the soil as well, it has been
grown in larger way since that time.
There is nothing yet discovered that
IS, all in all, so valuable a crop as this
Tor farmers to raise. 1t being an air
plant, it will do well on almost any
kind of soil in any of the States, North
or South, that will grow corn; and no
fertilizing is necessary. The forage
coming from this bean is marvel and
wonder. Planted in rows four feet
apart it will produce solid mass of
vine and foliage to the depth of from
-1AeSSn " twenty INCHES, covering tAS
entire surface of the ground.
The vine besides being a valuable
fertilizer, forage and mulch, is also
prolific in fruit. From the hill the
vine runs out in all directions like the
watermelon, from ten to twenty feet
1t begins to fruit at the hill in clusters
like the rasin grape, and thence along
the entire length of the vine at inter-

gals of from ten to twenty inches, pods
in clusters of from two to twenty ap-
pear Therefore the fruitage must be
immense.
From twenty to thirty bushels of
shelled beans would be a modest esti-
mate for an acre of ground, average
crop. Plant it early in the spring in
rows four feet apart, OF drill, as you
like. From three to five beans to the
hill, the same as corn, is the right
amount of seed. Cultivate and keep
clean until vine begins to fill the row.
Then lay by for the season.
If planting in an orchard, keep it
five feet or more away from trees, as
the vine is a great climber and will
cause you bother. One bushel Of per-
feet seed will plant four acres. The
pods shrink just half in Smelling.
The bean, ground up, hull apd all,
makes a fine fertilizer for pineapples,
orange, and other fruit trees, as well
as for all vegetable growth. Stock of
all kinds like it. as well as the green
forage early in the season, and all do
specially well on it.

In selecting either grass or clover
seed, hand microscope, which can be
bought anywhere for less than a doll

consider itself interested, and If the
tax payers of that county who pay upon
the full amount of their assessed value

not interfere in their behalf, but the ter
ritory claims that about one-third part
of the taxes so Illegally abated belongs
to it and is absolutely necessary for the
payment of its interest and current ex-
penses, and hat the members of the
county board. to whom the tax levy was
certified by the auditor for levy and col

malfeasance in Office. and while the ag-
gregate of the bonds only moun to

for, it is understood that some of the
county board are financially responsible
and the effort will be made to collect the
whole amount, which, for the benefit OF
the territory and the other counties thar
do obey the law, and thereby pay more
than their proportion of territorial tax
es, it is hoped will be successful. In
addition to this civil action, these off,
