Unprsntable vineyards.

In travelling over the South I have
seen many vineyards that have become,
in measure, Improbable. Some OF
them are old, neglected and too far
gone to be worthy Of treatment. Such
vineyards are better grubbed up and
burned and the land put to other use.
But others are not very old and merely
in feeble condition, and can be, by
proper treatment, made profitable. One
Of the most common causes OF the lack
Of productiveness is lack of good TIL
age. Once or twice blowing or cult
waiting is not enough. Grape vines
need the ground kept loosely and finely
pulverized, as wen as other fruits. An
other cause OF unprofitableness is the
absence Of Sufficient humus in the soil,

A young plant completely formed, and

case of the acorn, which affords q nice

root seemingly start from the same
point. The force Of life in these is
so strong that It splits the acorn along
Its seams. At the tip is a pair. Of tiny,
white points. These are the stem and

Orchard grass grows splendldly on

1t grows splendidly from February till

SOIL When the acorn has bursted you
can sec the great white halves of the
kernel, which are a pair Of cotyledons,
or seed-leaves. These contain a supply
of prepared food for the baby oak;
enough to last until the thrifty little
plant is developed enough to forage
for itself. All Towering plants have
cotyledons; those whose leaves have
veins radlating from the mid-lib, and
whose stems are woody, or at least
not hollow, have two cotyledons, most
of which are Of a different shape from
the leaves that follow. The seed leaves
of the pumpkin and squash are eXcep-
tons to this rule, They grow in pairs,
are Oval-shaped, not thick, and have q
sweetish taste; they. have stored up
sugar for the baby plant, When they
are through feeding the new plant,
instead of turning yellow and drying
up, as in most cases, they change their
shape and become regularly formed
leaves,
All plants having hollow stems and
the leaf-velns running parallel, have
but one cotyledon. The grains, grasses,
reeds and lilies are of this class; while
pine trees and trees Of their class have
from three to twelve seed-leaves set In
circle.
In the corn we have another style Of
termination. The lower portion of the
seed is soft and houry, and has q
sweetish tnste; the upper part is hard
and fiint-like As the corn softens and
begins to terminate you can see the
embryo, or germ, lying against the
prepared food which makes up the
larger part Of the seed.
The young growth has but one thick
cotyledon, and two narrow leaves
twisted together inside this seed-leaf'
which has wrapped itself about them
When the outside cover Of the seed Is
finally broken the first leaf springs up
and, unfolding, sends up two others
which grow fast, while the first does
not expand any more, but remains as
sheath and support for further growth
Jack-in.the-pulplt springs from Il
hard, small seed, and has but one
cotyledon, This seed-leaf contains but
small amount OF nutriment, but O

ground and before the seed-leaf dies

work from this CORN to help the young
plant get fair start in the world.-M

This can be supplied by an abundant
supply Of coarse manure, but this raay

piled. If this Is the cnse, ii Is possible
TO grow crops between the rows OF
vines that may be turned under, and
when decayed will be just what is
needed Of this character. OF these
crops there is nothing better than COW
peas, IL so good, After the cultivation
has been kept up until about the last
OF June, one or two rows OF COW peas
should be planted and this tillage con-
tlpued until the peas are several inches
high, when they will grow without
further attention and cover the ground.
1t Is best not to cut the crop bus hand
pick the peas and leave the tops &c rot
ON the ground and be worked under
the next spring. 1t is altogether prob.
able that the vineyard that is not doing
well would be much benefited by APP
plicatlons Of potash and phosphoric
acid. The potash can be had most
cheaply, in either muTiate or sulphate
Of potash. The phosphor!c acid is very
cheaply procured in acid phosphate
rock. All of these chemicals may he
bought either separately or combined.
OF the muriatic or sulphate Of potash
300 pounds per acre will be sufficient
for one year and 500 pounds Of acid
phosphate.
Nitrogen Is also needed to help in
vigorate the vines, and 200 pounds Of
nitrate. of soda per acre is sufficient;
but IL COW peas are grown In the vine
yard they will add so much Of this ele-
ment from the air that there will be
no need Of buying and applying nitrate
Of soda or any other commercial source
Of nitrogen.
To resume. what the most OF I'M
profitable Vineyards need is good
cultivation, humus and plant food, and
II these are supplied in reasonable
measure there will be little room for
complaint. - II. e, VanDeman, II

To Prevent the Black Rot of the Grape.

To Prevent the Black Rot of the Grape.
The black rot can be effectively con-
trolled with a little proper care and
attention, The following is sum-
mary Of the treatment to be recon-
mended:
1. Gather up and destroy all old
leaves, rotten grapes and other trash
in the vineyard, and cultivate the
ground so as to cover such material
as cannot otherwise be disposed Of,
., Keep the vines in as healthy, Wig
orous condition as possible by the use
Of proper cultivation and fertilizers,
3. Spray thoroughly at least six
times during the season, First use
copper sulphate, six pounds Of copper
sulphate to barrel Of water applied to
parts and vines before the leaves APP
pear. Second use Bordeaux mixture
five pounds OF copper sulphate, Ave
pounds of lime, fifty gallons Of water
after the leaves and fruit buds appear,
but before the flowers open. Third,
Just after blossoming, when the fruit Is
about ten days old. The other spray
ings may follow at intervals of ten
days. Increase the strength of the
Bordeaux mixture in hot, muggy
weather by the addition Of little more
copper sulphate and lime,
4. Be careful to make the Bordeaux
mixture properly and use fine nozzle
In spraying.
8. In so far as possible pick Off and
destroy the diseased leaves and berries
that you may notice.
