The value cf railroads to the farm
ing interest is fhown in a calculation
given by the American AricttZttaisf,
that to haul forty bushels of corn forty
miles on & wagon, costs at least $12 for
the team, driver and expenses. A
railroad would transport it for $4 at
it Allowing an averaging of forty
tufcbe! per acre, 8 per cent. As the
relative advantage is about the same
fcr ether crops, it Is clear that rail
road passing through a town would
add tX) per acre to the iralue of the
fcrms. A town ten miles square con-t-
as C2,0:D acres. An in crease of $100
Icr acre' Is equal to $6,400,030, cr en
ough" to build L"X miles of railroad,
even if itcott $1,000 per mile. But
p") miles cf road would extend thro'
twenty towns ten miles square, and
cost $10 per acre if taxed upon the
land. These figures are merely given
s an Cluitration. If thc-farmcrs had
taxed themselves to build all the rail
roads In tho country, and given them
away to any companies that would
stock and rtrr them, the present in
creased value of their land would have
well repaid the outlay.

This has often, been urged in the
f.jkts, Why i it that jeople do not
eed Jimore? llie prmc:pLi reason
is that they do not know the value cf
of it- Another is, they tee to much
failure, either the vine will not tear,
or it will not rl;en its fruit. I
Besides, there is "much trouble to
attend to it," and still greater igno-i
ranee,
ICow, all this is but a bugbear to
frighten people, A little knowledge
is all that is necessary to get the peo
ple right
In planting a vine and attending to
It right there is but little risk. There
is seme, as there is with everything,
even with ccm ; the frcf t will tome
times take that. The same frost gen
erally takes the gre- -JJutthis can
be avoided better with grrpes than
with corn. All that is necessary U,
secure theearly kinds. The Hartford
Prolific is'of this kind, ierhsp3 the
befct, all things considered. It is a
very great bearer; a yearly bearer;
has'larpe, handsome clusters ; is a f..!r
table graie ; and stands the ccld ; no
trouble in the witter.
Betides, this grape Is a cheap one,
and can be purchased almost any
where. It will grow if any, and in
almost or ouite any part of the coun
try in our Northern fatltute.
Get thi3 grape. If you live far
enougq South, or in a warm place,
a favorable localitv, where the Con
cord will ripen, get that grape, as it
is somewhat better than the Hartford.
In fuch a Joi-ality theDelawe might
do also; and the Diana aud Clinton,
loth good keepers, and the Clin ten
Improving with keejlng. You thould
have this grsjc, if you can possibly
ripen it, on thi; f ccount, cs then you
can have grapes the winter through,
and the best eating (or drinking) in
March. We rare y have them excel
lent in April. " -
But, unless yo 1 can ripen a grape,
what use is therein troubling vour
self with it ? The Hartf jrd ripen
almost, if not quite, every year. It
must be a bad year, in ieed,"tbat will
not ripen it. Get the 2Iart.rcri, then,
one or two vines, or many as you
wich, and try the Clinton,
The Clinton is a good bearer; grows
fine, close bunches, and will stand all
the winter you can expose it to. We
have never known one to bf hurt, and
we have thrust Ibem into the face of
the v.xrrt ccld. You have two hardy
Kee p ca the trellis, or Eti.ke, cr tree,
or wherever you run them and they
will go anywhere, t--;x-cf!lT the Clin
ton ana prune m the fall ayou want
1 At . . -
tb?rn in the spring, so that wh
en
Frring comes you have nothing to do
but note the p rosperity of your vine,
save the little pinching that is neces
Ktry. This is eimjJy to clip off the
shoots thit have grn;cs on at the sec
ond leaf from the last cluster, that L-,
count two leave cr joints from me
cluster furthest out. Some leave a
leaf more, ethers one less. But try
two leaves.
As shoots put forth from these joints
lor mey cannot prow wnen pinched
off, the pinching oifarresting it serve
tnese in the same manner pinch rfT.
uvccr, a.iA.T me ursi msieaa 01 tne
second leaf; do not let the second
lear appear.
Each fall you fhould cut away the
old vine, or part of It, and let a new
vine cane, as It is called take its
place. To this end you must let as
many new shoots crow as you want
for this purpose. This is on a trellis
or etike. If you run into a tree or on
a large -trellis," lef-s pruning Is re
quired. F. G., in nuralNcw Yorker.
We publish the above for the ideas it
contains. The Hartford is a good early
grape, worthy f culti ration. ' The
Concord hre is equally, hardy and
prolItIc,cndamuchbettergnipe. For
this country, to one who only wants
4a vine or two," we advi?e to plant
the Hartford, Concord and Delaware.

I'eab tins : Your of the ltb I am !n receii't of,
in which yon af k 11 I have ar.v o!ijtciion to sending
on. for publication, tbe btcts I am acquainted with.
In relation to the character of tbe WaUrr Grape I
have never indonwd the cbararfr or nefalne8 of
wines, or User articles of aT deaerlption.acd would
not at my prenent stare of liie were it not lor two
reasons which seem sufficient. First. I know tbe
h allrr Grape will meet tbe pre'iKunea widejtpread
throorboct th country, cauwl by tat wortiiian news
tn must locai.iiias of maiiy of its priece?ors. Heo
pnd, because I can say from personal obserra&on
tha the WailT fe the bt vaneiy I have bad any
knowl!:re vt. andj think I have ca'tivatetl nearly
ail that have been recommended, difjcardirc them
ail and Ikliine back tijjon the Conrord and Hartford
Proline as Tineyard varieties. I am Interested in
knowing tbat the frnit of the Valer grows larrer
each yrmr ax the vice rrowa older, being but year
Ailiy one-third lanrer than it w two vears ugo. It
grows weil : sets iru't wli. I Lsnre seen it npe sev
eral times before Hartford, and I have never seen
any mbdew m iw fruit or on its iaree and shack, but
I Via ware shaped foiiageu Tbe flavor of the fruit I
think supenor to any other variety. Yon say In
ynar etrx-uiar It Isaseedlicg of Use PHaware'and
liana; I think the cfcnracu f eacb of tbeae varie
ties is quite dLuc!eTjiribahl In tbe H or,partjcn
bvrly thia vf tbe iiaware. I alad think u wouid
mate a wine of hii-b character. I have visited it
annnally sinat It first bore, six years ago. three times
ia L Irtrr Co-, N. V- in a low vaiiev, wbere the Isa
bella seldom r?pena. and each time i vas fuliv npe
ia A.uravt. I have seen it each of tae three ptuitneA
sons in Pwrhkeerie. rrpecin at tbe same time,
axoppun ht rer, wben tbe enastant rains pre
vented ail varieties from maturing at their osoal
time, but it perfected Its fruit by the middle of teep
ternoer. 1 be r&isins of th bist uentuxoed crop I
bavswen and eaten, whi were fr-.nl. From Its
s?rped;ng in tbe low vsiev and Vrnacioos day of
lluoena, Aod al.o in the drr aiatev position In
Poutnkeejwie. I think it will be wea adapted to the
vari"-l secuons of our countrv. Ton mar make
