Competition open to the world. . Pruning Grapes. " .A reader desires us to write an arti cle as to our system or jlan of pruning grape vinep. The plan wc have adop ted is simple and can be briefly stated. We aim to prune exclusively by pinching;, or what is perhaps better understood, as Bummer pruning. The first year the object should be to pive shape or direction to the vine. If to be trained on trill;, with two stocks; if on stakes one, allow no more to prow. If the growth is vigorous, pinch off the latterals and even the main stem toward the close of the sea son. The next and folloM ing season pinch off latteraU side shoot to two joints from main stem. "When fruit is set pinch off fruit ftem two joints from fruit' Theol ject insummer pruning is to develop the fruit f.' casou tutu to jK-riect lor next boaon. We will say herv that a!nioi every cultivator of prupes li.v apian of his own In managing vines. It is necessary to undcrtfiitid the vine .and to know what you want to ac complish. The foregrowiug is our plan, and with it we are satisfied un- w till experience or tome oiie will learn "us better. While ujon this subject we will state our experience as to win ter treatment of vines. We have never succeeded in but one instance, and that by very close summer pruning, in raising Isabella, Catawba, or Diana graies without coverning the vines during winter, and further while the Concord, Delewarc and other hardy vines have never failed to yield &rood crop, when left upon the trellis or stakes the yield is so much larger by being covered up that we shall never fail to so treat all our vines. .Simply throw the vines on the ground and . throw a few inches of straw on them with a weigh trof some kind to prevent the straw being blown away. Try it. Cliftox, June otb, 1SG3. Mr. Editor: You will hardly ex pect any thing like uniformity in the report of the Clifton Farmers' Club, while there are so manydifferenthands at the whecL We maintain our meet ings, however, with a good degree of interest, considering it is a new thing with the most of us; and farmers (I am sorry to say) have yet to be .ed ucated in the idea that a half day once in two weeks can be plcasant ly and profitable spent in an associa tion which has for its object improve ment. By reviewing the past, learn what has been accomplished by well directed effort : and also the causes of so many failures in almost every en terprise. By comparing soils, climate, influence, location, demands tc, learn our capacity to meet those demands, and then be qualified to go more in teligently forward; adding credit to our profession, and relieving ourselves us much as possibleof the odium which has ever culminated against the hon est "Sons of Toil." Now, Sir. Editor, asking many par dons for thi3 digression, and the con sequent waste of your valuable paper nnd ink, with your permit I will re port : Club met as per appointment at one o'clock P. M. at thehouse of Mr. Rich ard Cargo 11 situate among the lulls which surrounds Clifton. Mr. C. makes no pretentions in the way of crop this year, his improved land being mostly new breaking; though we notice a piece of wheat on late breaking last year.wnica gives promise of supplying the family with the staff of life for one year, and seed for another snnncr: also nitecn or twenty acres of sod corn looking finely. Good building stone, running brooks and natural groves of young timber, form the principal natural attractions of his. farm. At three o'clock P. J.L we were in vited by our neighbor, Mr. Benton Aldrich, to visit his raspberry plant ation. The berries being fully iije there was not much opposition. We therefore took recess of two hours, and judging from the close application of the party to the berries, the two hours were spent with more pleasure to the party, than profit to the pro prietor. He insisted, however, upon showing where the fairest berries grew. But pleasures, as well as other things, have an end ; and when our tccsket (Nasby calls 'em) refused to yield to Ji, Ul V IWUVI i V iVlUilI.A V Hi measured step and slow, to the place of meeting. And think of our discom fciture when on our arrival supper was announced. All, now we could see our mistake. Two large tables groaning under the load of goodies too plainly told us we Jtad staid with the berries too long. The task before us seemed Herculean, and a less courage ous band would have retired without a trial againstuch fearful odds. But we had seen service lefo re. We had wrenched tronhies on many a hard contested field, under similar eircum stances, and should we falter now? Never! We heard, and obeyed the or der charge: We accquitted ourselves likevetrans ; twenty-seven went down to the engagement; and from the dreadful slaughter twenty-seven came forth in triumph to tell the story to their posterity. Our visit was well salted and pep erod .with disscussions, inquires, an swers, &c, upon the best manner of propagating, raising, securing, and marketing, fruits, grains, &c, c. Our visit- was one of much pleasure and we trust some profit. All present seemed to think the Farmers Club of Clifton a very good thing.. W of course have our aults and follies, mistakes and errors, which we are trying to overcome. Being desirous of advance ing in whatever is right,, we iuvite correspondence with hints and sug gestions, calculated to aid us in reform and improvement. With happy hearts and smiling faces, we adjourned at 7 P. M. to meet again two weeks hence at one P. M. at the house of Peter Smith. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present on that oceosioa. PRO TEM, Jr. Clifton rarmcrs' Club Heport. Clifton, Neb., June 25ht, lfaG3. Mr. Editor: The report is some what behind times this week partly on account of the press of business and partly, "farming without fences" which a lady correspondent of yours well set forth in her article under the above caption. But in spite of weeds and unruly cattle the club turned out quite numerously on the afternoon of the day appointed at the house of B. Aldrich, and had a good, Interesting, and instructive visit. After all had arrived and had listened to the read ing of several good article on agricult ural themes which were brought by members of the club, we took nstrole over the place to sec what Mr. A. had done for himself the three years he had occupied this portion of Uncle Sam's (ardm, and how he had done It; for 1h? It known that the members of this c lub have almost to a mau but "just arrived, " and have all nature and but little else U contend or do with. But let us see whas has bra done, for some one may want to "med dle" with it. We first come to his nursery of KKM or more jvaeh trees, 073 chestnut, several hundred currant, prape vines and apple tree from seeds or cutting thU spring. We next no tice hi belts and groves of cotton nnd maple tree, In all nc r sewn acres of excellent grow th. The next in order was the Blackcap Rasptcry patch, which is a big thing in a small wav. He has two settings. one patch of i of an acre 2 years and one patch of If acre, one vcar old, planted GxO feet, or 1030 to the acre. These lernes are worth o0 cents er pound dried, and when 3 years old, well cultivated and pruned, will yield one pound to the bush, or 5(KX) pounds worth $300, for one acre. Mr. B. has a very heavy crop considering the age of the plants which are now rijw ana are picked and dried at the fKto of three bushels per day. The variety is the wild Blackcap. We then conn? to his Houghton seedling Goose bery plantation, of 300 plants of 2 years growth, well loaded with fruit of the best quality. Besides these Mr. B. has four acres of beans ; 2 of sweet corn which he boils on the cob, then dries and shells, and takes to market in five and ten pound sacks, with ready sale, beside a great variety of other vegetables. But I must not close this article without speaking of (probably) a million Evergreen seedlings of dif crent varieties, which he has to keep shaded by frames made of lath. They area rich sight, and show that Mr. B. has not only taste, but a zeal that is commendable ; and shows what skill industriously applied, will do for this country and mankind generally. We then attended to the "inner man," by appropriating liberally sam ples of 'most of the above fruits and vegetables, prepared and served in Mrs..Aldrich's happiest stvle. R. A. 1IAWLEY, Sec. Will It Pay to Keep Rees. It is with bee-keeping much as it is with fanning the season affects it still more than fanning. In the latter, mulching and pulverization of the soil are a protective against tne uroutn and deep, mellow tillage against ex cessive wet as well as drouth. Other thincs, however, cannot so well be remedied.' And so it is with becs. A cold, wet season, is decidedly unfavor able; and nothing can remedy it, as cold will prevent the bees from flying and rain will do the same, ilenee the unsuccessful years that we fre quently have. Year before last was such a year, This, however, may not extend over the whole country, and seldom docs. We are therefore dependent upon the season. All your luvcs, rood -or bad, patented or unpatented, are of no avail. If the season is against you vou will not succeed. This accounts for the medium success with bees There are venrs, as every one knows when the honey crop is a great one. Lajst vcar was such a one in nianv lK-alities. It was an offset to the year before, jmd brought the two, combined to a medium crop all that the bee keeer can expect, as the years run so that bee-keeping is not to be pre ferred to other vocations ; and shoul be engaged in only by those who have a taste for the business; who arc, therefore, more calculated to devote their time to their business, and avai themselves of the few advantages which the business holds forth. Care, cleanliness ; a good, airy lo cation, withyet little wind to strike it the extremes of temperature avoidec (the vear through): slight and con tinuous shade in summer, and protec tion in winter:. these are the genera means requisite to increased advan tages. I hey point to the tree-top, were a similar state of things exists elevation, and therefore dryness; shade but not too much : protection from direct contact of winds r in a word, temperate quarters and what is very important, a not overstocked held also the avoid, nee of a too close colony The tree-ton does all this, and nature directs it. If avc can improve upon nature, it is by the more thoroughly carrving out her principles. Of course carelessness in bee-keeping, as in other business, will not succeed. Grain for Horses. Horses at different seasons of the year require different grain food Corn is good for winter use, but too neaung ior a summer feeding. The staple grain for horses among farmers and liven- men is oats: but those that have used barley and rve cround to gether, prefer it to corn or wheat, for ......... . . . . i i i . . m reuswu luai n is less name to loun dcr and contains nearly as much nu triment as cither. An experienced horseman savs: I have raised a great many colts, and have made breeding trotting horses a study, and in all my experience I have found nothing equal to barley meal to make a mare g! ve mint. I have found it no disadvantage to a mare's getting foal, and not anj' while she was so. Oats are a better food Tor colts from weaning time till they go to work. Rve is a dangerous grain to feed alone, it is more liable to founder than other grain: but to mix witn snorts, or to grind with oats, and feed with cut hay or straw, it makes an excellent feed. Instead of its being a preven tive to prcgnacv in mares, it is an advantage. I own and keep for ser vice, one of the finest and promising voung stallions in the estate: ami it any one has a mare they wish to put at a certain time, 1 always recom mend feeding the mare boiled rye. blood warm, to get her in reason, and it never fails to do its work in from three to five days, and I never knew a mare to refuse the horse alter such treatment. Three quart, three times a day, is good feeding. This discovery may be of great value to breeders, 'and save an enormous sight of trouble. At i. unio farmer.

Tliis question has been asked again and nirain. and we have come to the conclusion to say a few words and drawcKit the experience oiourpracucai horticulturists. It seems to us that we have now data upon which to bae an intelligent opinion. The fact that a hard frost injured our fruit when in bloom la known. W. C. Flagg says yen to the question and adds : we want liirhf There are alwavs eroak- ers who. like som fabled birds of ill V ' M. Htlt . A,lt,T-A omen, are eager to cry -an osi. iiut these are not chargeable with over estimating tho damage done to fruit tills spring. The question, however, recurs to this point: was the fruit which actually did set, Injured by the frost ? We have come to the conclusion that it was Injured and In consequence that it has been and Is now dropping. There was strength enough in the bud to set the fruit, hut it was so enfeebled that it dropped prematurely and from noothcrenuso than that. Lateblooni crs (among the apples) like the Janet or rsothern ipv, , wnose bloom was not open, and were ulmost without a leaf at the time of the frost, have no more fruit than other earlier bloom ing sorts. The fruit-buds on these were not killed by the severe frost of winter lecause tliey are very hardy but by the late frost of spring. These varieties with the others bear this season in the middle and northern lortic)i of Illinois, and wo think also on the west side of the Mississippi. How else are we to account for the fact of their not bearing in Southern Missouri. It is said there are not apples enough, if all mature, in those part of the States, to feed the children under five years of ago for a month. We have seen but very few In the orchards we had the privileged) visit. Will not our readers give us their olservations on the point under con sideration? If we are mistaken we shall bo giad to be corrected. So many are now engaged In the business of fruit-growing ihat ail facte need to be thoroughly canvassed. Ex. m Advantages of Pulverizing Soli. The effects of pulverization or stir ring the soil are numerous. 1. It gives free scope to roots of veg etables and they become more fibrous in a loose than in a hard soil, by which the mouths or iores become more nu merous, and such food as is in the soil has a better chance of being sought after and taken up by thein. 2. It admits the atmospheric air to the spangiles of the roots without which no plant can make a healthy growth. 3. It increases the capillary attrac tion or sponge-like property of soils, by which their humidity is rendered more uniform ; and in a hot season it increases the deiKsits of dew, and ad mits it tn tho roots. 4. It increases the temperature of iiik son iu me fj'iiuK 'v ""u'5 the warm air and tepid rain. 5. It increases the supply of organic food. The atmosphere contains car bonic acid, ammonia, and nitric acid all most powerful fertilizers and sol vents. A loose soil attracts and condenses them. Rain and dew, also, contain them. And when these fer tilizing gases are carried into the soil by the rain water, they are absorbed and retained by the soil for the use of plants. On the other hand, if the soil is hard, the water mns off the surface, and instead of leaving these gases in the soil, carries off some of the best jortions of the soil with it. Tims, what might be a benefit be comes an injury. .6. By means of pulverization, a portion of the atmospheric air is bur ied in the soil, and it is supposed that ammonia and nitric acid are formed by the mutual decomposition of this air and the moisture of the soil heat also being evolved by the changes. 7. Pulverization of the surface of soil serves to retain the moisture in the ciilicnil onil tr nrpwnt : it from npinj' penetrated by heat from a warmer, as w-11 jw from radiatinir its heat to a colder atmosphere, than itself. These effects are produced by the porosity of piuvcrizeu swuium, niimi inia mulch, especially on heavy soils. S. Pulverization, also, has the com bined effects of several of the preceding pjinsos. neeolprates the decomiosition of the organic matter in the soil, and 11.. .1 ! ,.fKrt n.It.Knl n n me. uiaiiiieiuiim ji uic iuimiu uui- fpr nnd thus nrenares the inert mat ter of the soil for assimilation by the plants. JCjX. . t Ulutton Sheep. An English correspondent of the Country Gentleman, after alluding to tho facts that from six to eight thou sand "hoggets," yearling sheep are sold every Saturday at Norwich mar ket, at from $12 to $14 50 per head, remarks that these sheep are nearly all what is called half breed, i. e. , from some kind of dark faced Down ewe, by a Lincoln, Leicester or Cotswold ram, and for early maturity and the profitable production of excellent mut ton, are hard to beat. Alluding to an article ho had seen by an American writer in which the Cotswold was recommended as the breed for our farmers to tase up, he say3 : I am of the opinion that the writer is a little mistaken in his deductions, for in addition to the fact that cross breeding we attain, not only early maturity, but a far greater disposition and aptitude to fatten than is found in airy pure breed, the Cotswold, in com mon with' every other white-faced, long-woolcd sheep, carries a large amount of fat in porportion to its lean meat the meat is coarse in the "grain." Whereas, in tiie South Down, and every other dark-faced, short-wooletl breed, these character istics are exactly reversed. I venture to predict that if "the great American people is to be "educated up" to a taste for mutton, it will he of the Down, or half-breed sort. Probably the best cross of all is that between the South-Down ewe and Leicester, Cotswold . or other long-wooied ram. Fall Colts.
