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.

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

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, 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

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

it never fails to do its work in from

a mare to refuse the horse alter such

may be of great value to breeders, 'and
save an enormous sight of trouble.

Does Frost Injure Fruit-Hud
ITIiicIi Survive It ?
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

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

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

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.
