Form the heads as low as you please, which, on prairies is absolutely neces sary to success. Mr. Buchanan thinks apple trees two years old are better than those of more advanced age ; and an apple tree trans planted at that age, all other things being equal, will produce fruit as soon as one transplanted at four year9 old, and make a more healthy tree. Mr. Mottier thinks, on the whole, aside from the peach, he would prefer two-year trees, and and would not take trees over three. At one year old, the apple, year, Ac., have not their roots sufficiently developed. He has planted trees for thirty years. - Mr. Mears has, within the last ten years, transplanted thirty thousand trees. As to peaches, pears and plums he would prefer them at one year old, and the apple at two years. ork Cost., or Corn Worth. what 1 Careful experiments show that one bushel i)F coru will make a little over ten and a half pounds of pork gross. Taking this result as a basis, and the following may be considered safe cal culations: When corn costs twelve and a half cents per bushel, pork costs one and three-quarter cents per pound. When corn costs seventeen cents 'per pushel, pork costs four cent per pound. The following statementshows what ." . ... . the farmer gets for his corn when sold in the form of pork.

Knowing as we well do, the differ ent ideas ; manipulating, and non manipulating theories advanced by different persons, as to handling grape juice," we are aware that to ad vance an idea, is to venture on dan gerous grounds. We admit, too, that there in a vast difference in making wine to sell or to use. The more for eign ingredients used in manipulating the greater the yield, and consequent ly the greater the profit. W.e are an advocate of pure wines, and making it as cheaply as possible. There is no reason, in our opinion, why pure wine may not be as'cheap in thia country in a very few venrs, apple cider wa3 I 1 1 11 . y ' , iu our ooynooa uays. rears Eg when our ' attention was first turned toward3 cultivating grapes, an old and experienced French wine maker fur nished us with the following brief in structions, which ifas been sustained and confirmed by experience: V ' ; "Wine is not a thing made by man at aw, oniv mourned at most, it w a product of nature. In the purest and best grape wnies this ii most remark ably exhibited. The grapes are easily pressed by a wine or even a cider press, and can be - kept sepurate from the lees or allowed to ferment on them as strength is required. Not one drop of water, .not a lump even of sugar is requisite, aitnougn most or tne wme3 in this country are prepared with it But the. fermentatioa is all an act of nature herself. She-it is who makes our, wine, and while the fermentation is going on all that man can do is to watch and let it alone. And when that has ceased, the drawing off into a clean cask and keeping it undis turbed in darkness and perfect quiet ny itseir, is ail that man can do. ' A lump of loaf sugar in each bottle when bottled, may give a champagne fresh ness to it. but the simpler, the nurer. the less of cookery in wine, the better for it, and for those who have good taste enough to prefer it thus. The pure juice of the grape is best In sick ness. The best grapes, and if sugar be added, : the best and purest sugar should alone be used. Grade Stock. For practical purposes, we have al ways been an advocate of grade stock, especially as applicable to cattle and horses. It is a question worthy: of consideration by all our farmers and stock raisers. We shall refer to this matter again. For the present we give place to the following excellent arti cle from the pen of the author of "Walks and Talks" found in the No vember number of the American Ag "Our Agricultural Bocietles make a mistake in not offering more liberal prizes for grade animals. It is all very well to offer prizes for the best Short horns or Devon?, but farmers have comparatively little interest in the matter. The raising of thoroughbred stock will be, ami must be, confined to professional breeders. Farmers, who keep cattle simply for meat or milk do not want a herd of pedigree animals. "If you raise ejhort-horns," ' said the herdsman of one of our well known breeders, "you must raise them as Short horns." In other words, give the calf the milk of at least one cow all summer, with what oil cake, grass, etc., it will eat in addition. Now this is all very well and penectly prop er, it is the only way in wnicii to develope that tendt-ncy to l.-iy on Uesh, for which the breed is celebrated. Keep up the system from generation, and the tendency to consume large quantities of food and convert it into large quantities or beet become estab lished, and this desirable quality is imparted to the offspring. But we can not atlord to raise stock tor ordinary jurposes in this way. It is the prov ince of the breeder and not of the far mer. 1 ne value or tne snort norn con sists in its abi.'ily to impart its quali ties to common stock to give us grades that have little otfal, and that will convert a larire quantity of food into beef or milk. It is the grades that we want, and it is the grades that should be shown. John Johnston once said to me, "I don't care for pedigree. Let me put my nana on an animal ana that is all I ask." This Is true in the sense in which he intended it. His own experience proves, however, all that the most enthusiastic advocates of thoroughbred animals claim. He is a neighbor of Mr. James O. Sheldon, who has short horns second to none in the world, and Mr. S. allowed Mr. Johnston to send a favorite cow to one of his best pedigree animals. Mr. J. gave the caif the same treatment he would any other calf, nothing more. He never starves any animal, and did not starve this -one. But it was not stuffed or forced. It had no grain, and received only ordinarj ' treatment. Perhaps I ebould take that back, for, as Mr. Cornell once remarked, "ordi nary treatment" consists in keeping a call so that it shall lose in the winter half what it gains in the summer. The calf received good, ordinary treat ment, and nothing more such treat ment as any farmer can afford to give. Well, when I was there the calf had L'rowii to be a steer, and was nfonths old. A butcher came along and offered Mr. Johnston 10 cents a lb live weight, and take him at 1,400 fhs, or $140. He would not sell him, though thinking that he overestimated the weight.- Mr. J. wanted me to see him weighed, and I did so the next morning. After last ing all night he weighed 1,3U0 fts. So much for pedigree. Now it is just such animals that I want to see exhibited. I cannot go into raiding thorough breds; I have not money enough. 'But I can afford to raise good grades. All that w need is thoroughbred bulls. And it is so with sheep, and with pigs, and I presume with poultry also. Let us see what the use of thoroughbred males will do when crossed on com mon stock. Let U3 have a'good show of grade animals at our fair. "I have some thoroughbred Essex pigs, and IaL-50 have some grade Essex. That is to say, pigs from a common sow, crossed with a thoroughbred En sex. Tli -' thoroughbreds and the grades have the came treatment, but the grades of the same ae, are decidedly ahead. The grades have all the sym metry, fineness of bone, and tendency to fatten, of the thoroughbreds, and have the vieor and hardinesu of the sow. To exhibit the thoroughbreds does little good ; but an exhibition of grades, fat tor the butcher, would show rarmers tne aavantageor usinsrthor oughbreu males, even with csmmon sows."

Everybody seemed to be planting pear trets, and the pros pect was good, for a bountiful supply. But time showed that at least ninety out of every hundred madca total fail ure: consequently, 'peara are still scarce- and command an exorbitant price, . Is., pear-culture a. profitable business?. Certainly it is, with those who are successful. " ' The causes of failure are' really too numerous toameat this time:' but among the best known are the fallow lowing : The selection of new and un tried varieties, whjch proved to be not adapted to the eoil or location : unfa vorable climate, causing the fruit, to rust , and crack, although tho, trees were apparently healthy.; planting dwarfs upon licrht "soils,- where "the borers octroyed the stocks, even if the tree would have succeeded if left un molested; pear-blight which-has de stroyed thousands of trees in locations which otherwise appeared to be the most favorable for their full develop ment. . f ; - 1 So culture aad injudicious nruninz. however, has probably killed more pear trees' than all other causes put together. . : : . . 'there Is certainlv a failure some where.

Forest Cultivation. ' The American forest once the rich est inheritance that Divine Pro.vi idence ever bestowed on a people- have been swept away before the march of civilization to fcuch an extent that it has alreudy become a question of serious import: ."Whence shall come the 'supply for future genera tions?" No rational' answer can : be given other than to enter immediately upon the work of timber-plantuig. ihis is necessary, both for protection. and timber for building and mechani cal purposes. 'With the present and prospective demand and consumption of lumler, all the accessible pine, tim ber this sidelue. Cocky Mountains will soon ie exhausted. One of our most intelligent lumbermen assert3 that, taking the ratio of consumption of-pine lumber- from the pineries of Michigan for the last live years, the w,hole of those mighty forests will be exhausted in ten years. The market of Chicago alone, will receive a thousand million :feet of lumber this year. Allowing this to be one-nuarter of all that is taken from our forests this year, four thousand million feet will be the amount. .This amount must increase in a geometri cal ratio, and in less than thirty years the last "Itequiem of the Bine" will have b-en sung, where now all our resources of pine lie. Individuals, .States, and the Nation, too, should awake to "the approaching want. There is a remedy only in n system of forest-culture.

Whltlock'i Ilorti'Mltural R',enrti , .- : , ,, A Settled Policy. on the Farm.1 The whole secret of the unccesaful fanner often lies in his having at.tix.eti plan of operations. Multitudes Lave no plan but to meet their "immediate necessities and' make money by the easiest and seemingly shortest meth ods. If wool bring-j high prices, they will gradually give up dairying and work into sheep, with .the expecta tion orm.-iRing their fortunes. If wool and mutton raising for a timo does not pay, they sell their flocks at a 'threat sacrifice. ,If hops are sixty cents a pound, they invest in hop pole and kilns for drying; and expect sidden wealth. If when their yards come into full bearing, the prices fall olT one-half or more, they are disgusted and ready to plow up their yards, con cluding the business will not pay. There are men who re always taking up a good thing a little too . late to make money by it. The farmer can not afford thi3 continual change. His business is less speculative than any other, .andr af-xr, providing for the wants of his -.&caii.-aiid stock, he should give his attention steadily; to thepnxluction of a few animals, crops, or other products, "on which he can rely to raise money.1 Any branch of farm industry, steadily followed, will be found profitable Dairying, n a year of short grass, might not pay very well. But the yeaxa-laf drought are exceptions,, and the man who makes first-rate butter or. cheese will find them a reliable source of income. rates or ADvrr.Tizn.u.

Eating Fruit. A word about fruit, and th hst time to est it.-fnr th-wise man hath said, "to everythincrthere Is a season." In selecting fruit for the table, be sura to get that which is fully ripe, for that will be seasonable as we'd as most con ducive to the health. Xever eat un ripe or decayed fruit; it is only 7'. t for the pig-sty. omo cannot eat ripa frait without having the colic; that case It will become more palatably and quife digestible by being fctewed. A medical writer has some remark on. the subject of fruit, which are, la some respects, a variance with views, generally entertained, and are of deep Interest to the reader, when fruit is abundant, lie says that fruit afford. an endles Mippiy of delicious and wholesome food, l utas they are usual ly taken, may, more prnj.erly b con sidered as dangerous iuxurks than as healthyfood.

That exception was l.'t 1S;1, Wnen' Mr. Lincoln received 41 l.lSl majority over McCIeilan. But thU wa3 an extraordinary occasion, tlnco, because of the rebellion, eleven States did not vote at all.
