Brooks, one- of the Editors of the Bural New Yorker r had been in vited to deliver the anual address before the Nebraska State Fair," and James Vick, Esq., of Rochester New York, one of the most celebrated cul turist in the United States, to address- the Nemaha County Fair. Uaj. Brook! has consented to deliver the address before the State Fair. In closing hi3 letter to the Secretary, he eays: "I shall give a very full account of matters to the New York Papers." Will the fanners and merchants of Nebraska furnish him such material as will enable him to do justice to Nebarska. The following letter has been re ceived from Mr. Vick, in which it will be seen that we are to be deprived of his presence i Rochester, N. Y. Aug, 20th. ISCS. J B. W: FCRNAS Esq., Dear Sir: Your favor and kind invitation was received some days since, and would have been promptly answered. but for : the hope that I could arrange matters so as to meet your wishes, ss well as my own. 1 had previously promised . the executive committee of our State society that I. would take entire charge Of tliQ 'Coral department at the next -jut exhibition : I have' tried to get a sub stitutc, and also to arrange other and more private matters, but witnout f ucccsh, and am compelled to deprive mj-self of a pleasure I had so much desired a visit to Nebraska this sea son. Yours, J. Vick. tnlturc of tlic Tine in Europe. Continued.' STEMMING. The fruit having been gathered and selected, the next tiling to !o is to stem it. In "Meaoc" and all the "Bordelais" this is invariably done. But in "Burgandy" and other dis tricts they commonly omit it, aij,d throw stem and all into the vat; if, however, the season has been bad, and 1 he stem remains unripe, they are of necessity excluded in whole or in part lost they do more harm than good. The chief reason for putting in the stems is to correct the disease called "teitter, " for whic h the turrin acid, etc., of the tem is thought to be an antidote. Fortunately, we know comparatively little, as yet of any wine disease, except acidity, but still it remain for us to decide, upon experience, which of the two methods it is best to adopt. Probably we shall arrive at the same diversity of practice as is witnessed here. Stemming is usually done by rubbing the fruit uon a grating of iron roils, but the better way, decidedly, is a grating of wood. It is made of bars two thirds of an inch square, carved into each otherwhere they cross, -so as to bring them down to an even face, leaving openings or meshes two thirds of an inch square. This is established like a table with four legs, with a. rira around it about ten inches Jiigh, and a proper receptacle beneath to receive and carry off the stemmed fruit as it falls through and the juice which es capes. The table is four feet square and four feet high. About three bu shels of grapes are put on to the gra ting, which four men with bare arms soon rub through, leaving the stems behind, which are then thrown into a small circular press, like our hand cider presses, which extracts the juice of the few grains remaining on them. In this wa v four men can stem enough to make fifty barrels of wine per day. For one who makes but a small quan tity, a deep tub and a three-pronged stick will do very well. CRUSHING. This Is next to be done, by tramp ling the grape with the naked foot. It is said to be a better way than to use a large mill, for the reason the mill will crush the seed ; but the seeds are not easily crushed, and a properly made grape-mill need not bruise them in the least. At a well-managed wine house, that of Messrs. Averons Brother in " Paulhiae," they put the grapes to ferment, with no further crushing than what is given them in the pro cess of stemming, which experience, has satisfied those gentlemen is all that is needed. FERMENTATION. x The crushed mass, with or without the stems, is next thrown into vats and allowed to ferment. The vats are large casks, generally without bulge, the largest at the bottom, and open at the top. In some of the large houses they are covered with loose boards ; in others theloards are jointed and made hermetically close by plastering with cement or clay ; in others there is merely a floating mas of stems; and in others there is no covering at all, except the scum of stems, skins, seeds etc., which rise to the surface. After the fermentation has ceased and the wine becomes clear, it is drawn off and put away in close casks, which in France are aimost uniformly of the size called " barrique," holding abou'. fifty gallons. In Burgundy these are kept above ground and in the light until spring, and then put into cellars, while in the Bordeaux country they remain in the liffht in store-houses above ground until one or two years old, and then removed to dark rooms on the same level. A careful way of making red wine out of grapes not fully ripened is to allow it to remain in the vats for a sufficiently long time after fermentation to let tlo greenness held, in suspense, settle to the bot tom. At " Latour, " in the vintage of 1SC6, they allowed the wine to remain in the vat a whole month, though the fermation was probably complete in half of the time. After brewing off the remaining undissolved pomace, it is pressed andm.tde into a wine of in feriorquality. It is common in France and it would be sometimes necessary in some parts of America, to provide means of warming the wine-house up to at least 20 degrees of " Centigrade," or GS degrees of Fahrenheit, as well as to introduce steam heat into the vats themselves, which is done by means of a tin pipe, entering to the right of the faucei and a little above the bot tom of the vat, bending to the bottom and rising again in the form of a letter U, and then passing out at the same distance from it, the steam entering at one end and the condensed vapor escaping at the other ; but heat is only applied in cold seasons and when the grapes are badly ripened. In France, the fruit of different va rieties are commonly mixed together, and generally but little account is ta ken of "cesaye" (variety) a9 compared with the quality of soil. Well-informed persons, however, are disposed to complain of the introduction which has been quite general of recent years of course varieties grown for quantity rather than" quality. There is one variety of vine com monly seen on rich soil and deemed unfitfor poor ground, except where grown for brandy, as in Cognac, that may possibly be of value to us. It is called "lafolle" (the crazy) "en rag att" (from enraged). Except in its infancy it needs no stakes, but holds itself erect by the strength of its stalk, which is trained about one foot high, and from which the cane or branches shoot out with great vigor, like those of the oster willow prunned low. Every winter all the branches are cut back to two or three eyes, and during the season the ground is cultivated in the usual manner, but, further than this it demands no attention. There, is no summer pruning nor any tying,, winter or summer. It is never hurt by frost, is proof against all disease, and is unfailing in its .fruiting, and yields, when in good condition, 1,200 to 1,500 gallons of wine per acre. Its most favorable soil is sandy loam, and when grown on such, its wine, which is quite 6trong, is worth 40 cents per gallon. Of that produced about Bor deaux, a good deal is mixed with coarse red wine and made into claret for American consumption. Of itself it will not make red wine. It is possi ble that this hardy vine or grape will stand our severe winters, and, with or without winter covering, obtain a footing in American soil. Generally it is a bad policy to introduce a coarse plant of any sort ; but we have so vast a spread of land that is too rich for growing delicate wines, no matter what variety of plants is tried, and of late the mildew and rot have been so discouragingly fatal in many parts of the country, it might be well to give the " en ragatt" a trial, and, since we must drink the juice baptized with the namese of " St. Julian," Chateau Margaux," and all the saints efMedoc we may as well enjoy the satisfaction and the very large profit of raising it ourselves. Not only do the French mix differ ent kinds of grapes in the vat and on the press, but they freely compound together different kinds of wine in every stage of mutiny. Thia is done of course with great carefulness, and the success of the merchant in his bu siness depending on his skill in con cocting ' what will -please the palate. Such combination may be aggreeable to the taste of the consumer, and profitable to the merchant, but it may well te doubted if it is as good for the health a3 that which is simply natural and made from one variety of grape. . A French vine-grower has introdu ced the Catawba into hi3 vineyard, and uses its juiee to mix in very small proportions with that of native grapes to give flavor. Any considerable ad dition of the Catawba's musky quality would le more than the French palate trained to like only that which is neg ative, could very well bear. When American wines were tested by the jury at the Exposition", the French jurors whose scale was from one to four, with a zero at the foot, generally complimented cur Catawba with a zero, and they remarked that the more of the natural flavor the wine possessed, other things being equal, the lower they should estimate it. In America the very contrary is known to be the case. The German jurors, accustomed to wines of high bouquet, held quite different opinions from the French, and were much pleased with the American samples. In regard to the more delicate wines of EurojM? which do not bear exporta tion, an important discovery is said to have been made by the distinguished chenii;-t Pasteur, of Institution, which is exciting great interest, and promises nothing less than to secure wine against disease and deterioration for an indefinite period, to enable it to be transported with safety any distance, and kept in any sort of storehouse. The best way to make known in America the discoveries of Mr. Pasteur would be to translate and publish his very valuable work, entitled "Etudes Sur le Vin," sold by Victory Masson & Sons, Place de l'Ecole de Medicine, Paris. Meanwhile we will give a brief synopsis of it. After explaining at length the na ture of the different diseases of the wine, aeidity.bitterness, etc., tracing them all to vegetable parasites, and detailing his experiments in search of an agent to destroy the parasites, Mr. Pasteur arrives at the conclusion, that they are effectually destroyed by hea ting the wine up to a point between 50 and 6-5 degrees of centigrade, which would bo between Vll and 148 degrees of Fahrenheit. The heating can be done in "Bain Mare," that is, by placing the bottle or cask in a vessel filled with water and heating the wa ter, or by hot-air closets or stean-pipes introduced into the casks. The heat ing should be gradually and carefully accomplished in order to enable any one to test the value of this invention so important in its aims. We extract the following, which gives all the author has to say on the mode he has himself followed with wine already in bottle, whether new or old, diseased or sound : "The bottle being corked, either with the needle or otherwise, by mac .hiae or not, and the corks tied on like those of champagne bottles, they are placed in a vessel of .water; to handle them easily, they are put into an iron bottle-basket. The water should rise as high as the ring about the mouth of the bottle. I have never yet com pletely submerged them, but do not think there would beany inconve nience in doing so, provided there should be no partial cooling during the heating up, which might cause the admission of a littlewater into the bottle. One of the bottles is filled with water, into the lower part of which the bowl of a thermometer is plunged. When this makes the de gree of heat desired, 149 degrees of Fahrenheit for instance, the basket is withdrawn. It will not do to put in another immediately, the too warm water might break the bottles. A por tion of the heated water is tkeu out and replaced with cold, to reduce the temperature to a safe point : or, better still, the bottles of the second basket may be prepared by warming, so as to be put in as soon as the first come out. The expansion of the wine during the heating process tends to force out the cork, but the twine or wire holds it in and the wine finds a vent between the neck and the cork. During the cool ing of the bottles, the volumn of the wine having diminished, the corks are hammrred in farther, the tying is ta ken off, and the wine is put in the cel lar, or the ground floor, or the second story, in the shade, or in the sun There is no fear that any of the. different modes of keeping it will render it diseased ; they will have no influence except on its mode of matu ring, on its colors, etc. It will alway be useful to keep a few bottles of the same kind without heating it, so as to compare them at long intervals with that which has been heated. The bottle may be kept in an upright pos ition ; no mold will form, but perhaps the wine will losea little of its fineness under such condition, if the cork gets dry, and air is allowed too freely to enter."

The Sweepstakes ra the accredited head of the Threshing Machine family, and its superior strength, durability, simplicity, ease of draft, style of finish, and capacity for threshing and cleaning grain faster and better than any other in the world, are acknowledged. Tte preat reputation achieved by this faTorfre machine has led several unscrupulous manu facturers, and numerous agents, to attach the name " Swikfstakes," in one way and another, to their machines and advertisements to mislead and deceive. Ulia is the essence of meanness down right p!racy, and sailing under false colors. To void the counterfeit, see that every machine has the card, "C. AULTHAN 4 CO., Manufacturers, Canttn, Ohio," in gilt letters, conspicuously on both sides of the Separator. The Genuine Sweepstakes enables the thresher to pick his customers, seldom stops for re pairs, lasts much longer than others, saves much grumbling and vexation, does the same amount ol work with less labor, and enables him to select the best and most profitable jobs. The farmers give it a preference, and often an extra price per bushel, because it threshes clean from the heads, separates perfectly from the straw, cleans fit for market without waste, saves all the grain, does its work with the utmost speed, safe ty and economy, and does not keep a gang of men wd teams about them on expense. The elegant "Patent Pivot Bide Gear" Is to be found only on the Swxxfstaxxs. Our " Patent Cleaning Apparatus " en ables the operator to control the direction of the blast, and position of the seives, and clean either neavy or light grain, without waste, as fast as it can be threshed, the chaff and dirt being separated from the grain befort it ttrike toe teivt at all.

The trial of this machine at various County and State Fairs, and the judgment of every ot.e v he sees and use it, unite in pronouncing the Brtnker boffCorn Shelter the best ever invented. With it a man can shell his crop of corn at bis leisure, without an assistant, and thereby save in a slicrt time more than the cost of a sbelier, Tjiis Corn Sbelier has taken the first premium for three years past at the New Tork State Filr, when but partially perfected. It has since been brought to a degree of perfection, which makes it complete. The following is the report of the Judges on this machine) at the great trial vf Agricultural Imple ments hed at Auburn, N. r., in July, 1368. under the aaspicies of the New Tork Agricultural Society. Among the machines on exhibition was a Hand Corn Shelter, Separater and Cleaner, exhibited by J. Brinkerhotf, Auburn, &. T. We have carefully examined and thoroughly tested this machine, and have no hesitation in pronouncing U the BEST CORN SHKLLEK WE EVER SAW. It readily adapts itself to ears oi any size or sh pe, shells clean, and with great rapidity and ei.se, and the same operation separates the corn from the cob, and the chaff from the corn, and delivers the corn ready for market; and it requires the labor of but one person to operate It. The whole affair is simple in construction, and dnrable. J. 8. GOPLD, Pres. N. T. Ag. So. B. P. JOHNSON, Sec " " ' S. ROblaON, Ag. Ed. N. T. Tribune.
