Concord and Delaware Grape.
In an article in the "Prairie Farm
er," on "Grapes and wine making,"
Dr. John A. Kennicutt says of the
Concord and Delaware Grape :
"Speaking of Grapes: Charles G.
Downing, Newburgh, New York,
says in a recent article : Concord and
Delaware Grapes seem to be the har
diest species. Isabella, Diana, Ca
tawba, and Rebecca have suffered ve
ry much; and in soiie casesjhe vines
are dead, If such winters as the last
two" or three continue, we shall have
to bury our vines in the fall. In fact
I believe it is, the best plan even if
the wir.ters are mild. The trouble is
not much, and I think the fruit will
be earlier and better for it.
Five years ago, Charles Carpen
ter, of Kelly's Island sent us a half
dozen small vines of the Concord and
Delaware, but the label on the latter
being lost, the Concord only was
cherished, and fruited the next year;
and has always proved robust and per
fectly hardy. The fourplant3 of Del
aware were never even tied up till '60,
but left to ramble and grow as they
pleased. Our little boys say they
bore every year, but the seniors did
not discover it till last September.
The vines were then . loaded with the
most delicious grapes, and in Novem
ber we cut a heap of wood from them
and found about a dozen natural lay
ers well rooted. Not a shoot nor even
a bud, had even been winter-killed,
and the vines instead of being "fee
ble, are stronger than Isabellas, of
the same age growing near them. I
think, therefore, it is safe to say, the
Delaware is a strong and perfectly
hardy vine; and I am inclined to set
it down with the Concord as beins
the hardiest grapes for the Northwest
The Delaware has been propagated
into a feeble growth by house culture,
but its constitution is still unimpaired.

the roots with coarse litter dun, the
writer tried the plan anr. found it very
successful. The mulch was applied
id the latter part of Summer, just as
the earliest buds were developing.
The ground was first thoroughly hoed
to soften the surface. As the litter
did not present a very heat appear
ance to the eye, we sprinkled over
the top of it a little fresh mown grass
from the lawn. This mulch kept the
ground from drying up, and when the
rain fell it leached through the mulch
carrying more or less liquid manure.
But the rains not being always as
abundant as we could desire, the soap
suds from the weekly wash wa3 applied
and with good effect.
The result of the whole was a fine
bloom and a constant succession of
flowers, unchecked by the prevailing
drouth. The soap suds was also ap
plied to the fol'tige, and served to
check the ravages of insects. We
advise young flourists, who are apt to
get discouraged with their dahlias, to
make a note of this. Amer. Agriculturist

Paper from LeaYes or Indian Corn
According to a French journal the man
ufacture of paper from corn leaves may
be now regarded as an accomplished suc
cess. . .
The conversion of the fibers of maize
into paper is to day an industrial fact
confirmed by extensive success, and this
discovery cannot fail to influence consid
erably the price of paper. The di.cov.
ery it is true is not absolutely nw ; in
the eighteenth century th manufacture
was in operation in Italy with rermrka
ble succe?; but strange to say, the secret
wa? k?pt by thp inventor, and was hi a at
his death. Many attempts since made to
revive the manufacture have "all recoiled
before the difficulty of removing from
the leaves the silica and resinous matter
which they contain, and which cbiructs
the conversion of pulp into sheets. Hap
pily this secret has just ben rediscover
ered, and not, as would hive been an
ticipated, by a chemist, but by a Jewish
writing-master M. Moritz Diamant, an
Austrian subject to whom the new dis
covery is ?oing to give a considerable
fortune. His process is applied at the
present moment on a very large scale, at
the Imperial manufacture of Schlogtl
borcr, in Lower Austria. Although the
machinery of the establishment was con
structed for working rags, and U not all
adapted to the kind of preparition .hat
corn leaves requre, the esay which has
been male has had a prodigious success;
the paper obtained leaves nothing to be
desired in strength, hojnogeniety, polish
and whiteness. In the last point; partic
larly, the sheet from corn surpasses that
from rags, which always contain impuri
ties that can be removed only with great
difficulty.
It is Count Carl de Lippe WeissenfTeld
who operates at this moment the discov
ery of M. Moritz Diamant, interested, as
may well be Opposed, in the fabrication
of paper from maize.
According to the German journal from
which wc have borrowed the preceeding
details, the principal advantages of this
new manufacture are the following:
i. It is not solely possible to produce
from the loaves of maizs all the species
of paper manufactured at this d iy ; but
it happens, furthermore, that in several
respects this p.iper is superior to that

Keep tlic Burs or all Machines
Screwed on Tiht.
This precept is seldom thought cf
when using tools and implements, until
burr has worked off, a bolt lost, or a hule
worn so large that repair is necessary,
or until a break down puts an tad to the
present operations.
"That burr worked loose, and this is
bruken inconsequence, and we are down
until we can go to the machine s-hop," h
a very familiar and oft repeated extres-ii-,n
among farmers.
Vv'hvn every part of a inachin. i
made of iron and tolled together ever
so tightly, the burrs will often work loe
as sodn as it has been in uss. fur a hurt
lime. There will always bo aliiti. rr u
dmg, a "little give and take" in almost
ev;ry portian of a machine when in
use, and lor this reason the burr should
be examined often, and if at all loose,
should be screwed up tight. When bolts
have beta put through wood, the wood
almost always shrinks a 1 j tile, after the
parts of an implement have been put to
gether, and for this reason the burs will
be a little loose, even if they were orig
inally screwed up tight.
My own practice always has been to
examine all the burrs frequently cn all
kinds of implements, and especially those
on cari.iges, and keep everything screw
ed up tight. This not only prevents un
necessary clatter, but it keeps every part
in order.
As soon as a bolt or a burr becomes
loose enough to work a very little when
an instrument is in motion, it will in a
short time begin to wear, and the great
er the play may be, that is, the looser it
is, the faster will the parts wear.
The springs of carriages, aud the
jack-irons which support the bodies, and
the claspes about the azletrees work ve
ry loose frequently, and if the burrs that
hold them in their places' are not as of
ten screwed up,, the wood will need to
be renewed again in a very short time.
I have often observed spring tars of
carriages, and the head blocks, and some
other parts, that had been spoiled com
pletely, because the burrs which secured
ihs iron work had not been screwed up
tight

hear a sound as if some cue had treken
a iwig, ana tooling up, see a jay peckii
at an acorn, or you will see a i;cck of
them at once about it, in the tcp tf au

They then fly .to a suitable limb, anJ

confirm what William Betram wrote to
Wilson, the Ornithologist, that "the jay ia
one of the most useful agents in the econ
omy of nature, for disseminating fores;
trees and other nuciferous and hard
seeded vegetables cn which they live.
Their chief employment daring the au

sary duty they drop abundance cf seed in .

A Grain Binder.
The Editor of the Iroquois (III.) Re
publican, says that Mr. D. W. Ayres of
that place has been for some years work
ing on a model for a grain binder, and
at one time completed and filed a caveat
for a machine that would bind with the
straw of graiu, but after consideration,
concluded that it was too complicated for
general use, tind so abandoned it. Hav
tng heard of the wire and string binders,
set himself about learning their qualifica
tions. The string binder he found would
not prove valuable for the reason that no
machinery could be made to tie a knot,
and the sheaves had to be made all one
size to suit the length of the strings (which
are made one uniform length with a knot
at each end,) else the sheaves would be
imperfectly bound or not bound at ail:
The wire binder, Mr. A. feared would
be too expensive, but on ascertaining
that wire could be furnished at a cost not
exceeding eighteen or twenty cents to
the acre, he went to work to perfect'a
wire binding machine, capable of being
attached to any ordinary reaper, and ot
binding to its full cutting capacity that
would fill all the requirements of a suc
cessful self-binder.
In this machine the simple movement
of getting the wire around the bundle,
does all the rest. The wire is carri-d
around the bundle by a revolvsrg nr.v,
attached to a crank, which prts. - ih;.
bundle together and operates the cutting
and twisting device one turn of ihe
revolving arm completely binding a bun
dle. Its capacity, when attached to a reaper,
will be fully equal to the cutting capacity
of the reaper, and will bind a iarge or
small bundle equally well. As the :rain
is ralced from the board on which it falls
directly into the binder, it of course does
not touch the ground until it is bound int i
a sheaf, and the ground over which ti.
machine passed at tbe trial was ah:i.j.
as clear of straw as if none had ever
grown there.

Unfermentea Bread.
Bread is a matter which comes home to
the stomaches of everybody, and we would
say word on fermented and unfermented
bread. In bread-making the only pur
pose served by fermentation, is tlie gen
eration of carbonic acid to raise the dough,
and to effect this a quantity of yeast is
mixed with flour. But the same purpose
is gained by mixing a quantity of carbon
ate of soda-with the flour, with a corres
ponding proportion of muriatic acid, and
bread so formed is more nutrious and
economical. This kind of bread never
sours on the stomach. By this method
bread can be made in two hours, and it
saves both time and labor. The ingredi
ents are simple, and costs but litile.
Fermentation always destroys more or
less of the flour, besides otherwise injur
ing it for the purpose of assimilation.
A large proportion of the bread in some
communities, is scarcely more than an
active form of yeast, thrown into the
stomach only to produce fermentation
and a host of disorders. And then we
witness-, of course, the blue vapors, which
under different aspects, are as ruinous to
the welfare and peace of a family ns are
those of a distillery The proportion of
acid and soda (baktng soda) directed to
be used, may be thought too great, in
which Case they may be varied at discre
tion. The following formula is recommended
for unfermented bread : Take of flour
three pounds, bicarbonate of soda nine
dranchms, hydrochloric acid, 11, specific
gravity 1 16-100. About 25 oz. of water
will be required to form the dough.
First mix the soda and flour a3 thoroughly
as possible. This is best done ty shaking
the soda (in fine powder) from a sieve
over the flour with one hand, while the
flour is stirred with the other, and then
passing the mixture once cr more through
the sieve. Next pour the aciJ into the
water, and diffue it by stirring them well
t.iethr. av.ndintr the use of any mdalir.
n ii .t? V.n' acid might come in con
:act wlh. Thn mix the flour and water
m prepared as speedily as possible. The
dough should be put into a quick oven
speedily. This manner of making bread
will, if practiced, be found to be a great
improvement, a id advantageous compared
with the fermenting method, and also the
quality will be found vastly superior to
the antique "leavened bread." C. J.

The end of education, say3 th Satur
day Review, is to fit its subjects for that
station and those duties in which th:3
chances are their future life will be spent.
As things are, it is likely, while the sexes
retain their present equality, that our
girls, whom it is sought to put down t
the desk and the counter, will have to
abandoned them when they become wives
and mothers. In other words, thrir fu
ture life is to be wives, and not book
keepers md accountants. All the time,
therefore, that they employ in the counting-house,
is so much time lost; it not
only does not fit them, tut positively
unfits them for their future duties. We
all know that factory-girls make the worst
wives; anl if the ideal of the aivecatss
of won. en's work were carried cut, all '
classes of society would but repeat, under
modifications, the type of a factory-wife.
Given a factory-girl and a domestic ser
vant, and which dees the working-man
chouse ? This single circumstance dis-'
po-es of all the fantastic claims which
are urged for introducing unmarried
females to business. We utterly deny
that a girl in a respectable family does
not earn the honorable tide cf a worker,
though she only be employed in assisting
in housekeeping ana at the famuy wor;
table, just as fairly and as completely a3
if she walked to a solicitor's criice for an

and making out bills cf costs. We de
cline to limit woman's work to that nar
row and unnatural estimate which con
fines it to an equivalent fur ?i diy's pay.
