European Larch Propojratlon
' from Seed. 1
In reply to the numerous enquiries
!n regard to the cultivation of the
Larch, I will say through thecnlurans
- of your raPeri tnat wilu tlie Ercatx'st
pleasure I submit the following:
. First. Two prominent difliculties
, axe encountered In this country,
which I believe is not known in Eu-
rope; the hot rays of the sun having
the double tendency to scald or heat
the soil, so that it causes the plant to
die at the collar, or 'is the phrase lias
it "damp off," as well as to scorch the
. tender plant as it emerges from the
earth. These are overcome, first by
selecting a sandy, dry, though rich
Boil for the seed bed ; and second ,
' by a partial shading the first season
which may be done best by nailing
strips of lath, one inch apart, and
placing them one foot in highth over
the plant, bo as to partially obstruct
the rays of the sun. Any other mate
rial that will render the same amount
of shade, will . answer the same pur
Second.. The soil should be as clean
from weed-seed as possible where the
seed is to be sown. The usual time of
. sowing onion seed, or from the middle
of April to the first of Msy is the time
to sow Larch. It may be sown in
J I 1 1 A A
urius, iour io six incnes apart, or
broad-cast, and covered just enough
to retain moisture till it germinates
It may be sown without auy prepara
tion, a3 onion, or other seed. Clean
.culture is indippensible. The shading
ma." be dispensed with after the first
season'. The seedlings should be
transplanted either at one or two
years old from the seed bed. This
should be done as soon as the weather
end soil will permit, in the Spring.in
a.imilarsoil, (sandy) in which they
were grown, and better at one year
- old than two. Transplant in beds, in
rows six inches apart and four inches
in the row, and shade as in seed bed.
The roots should be kept from the at-
. mosphere as much as possible in
transplanting. With good seed a sat
isfactory success will be realized. This
method will aply with equal success
in propogating every variety of hardy
evergreens.

"We noticed some very fine hogs be
ing weighed at the city hay scales in
this place, the past week, for ship
ment to Chicago. The finest we saw,
were raised by Mr. Horn of. this
county, running in weight from three
hundred and fifty to six hundred and
seventy four punds, gross.
"We tto indebted. to D. W, AdAms,
Esq.; Secretary of the Iowa State Hor
tieultural Society, for a copy of the
"Report of the Secretary of the Iowa
- State Horticultural Society for the
yearlSGS." It is a well gotten up doc
ument of one hundred and thirty-six
papes, containing statistics, essays,
letters and discussions on all subjects
connected with horticulture and pom-
ology. It is very valuable indeed,
and Mr. Adams will accept our thanks.
We have been honored with press
ing invitations to attend the annual
meetings of the State Horticultural
Societies of Missouri, Illinois, Iowa,
And Kansas. Press of business has,
. nd will prevent our attendance. An
other year, if spared, we intend to at
tend more of these gatherings.

The Peruvian government has sold
to a combination of French and Ger
man houses 2,000,000 tons of guano.
It is stated that Fairs were held in
nearly every county In the State of
Ohio this year there being only five or
I six exceptions. , . . w r , x
' Ijigh prices for hops are quoted lij
Europe and it is the opinion of many
that there is a fair prospect of a fur
ther advance in this country.
A correspondent ..of the 'Western
Rural, writing from Amboy,' 111.; says
he had a better yield and better pota-
toe of Peachblows, than from Early
Rose planted the same day.
Thomas Shaw, of Genessee Co.,
Mich., raised 210 bushels of Diehl
wheat, by machine measure, on five
acres of land. The soil was clay, sand
and muck with clay predominating.
? The average Quantity of wheat ex
ported annually from Canada for the
15 years preceding 1867 is given at 3,-197,979-bushels.
The largest export
t was in 1SS1, when it reached 7,023,232
' bushels.
The agricultural exports from this
country in October were quite large.
They included 2,184,303 "bushels of
wheat; 177,017 barrels of wheat flour;
; 7,264,803 pounds of cheese, and 9,001
bales of hops.
-At a iate "County Court Day," at
Paris, Ky., there was a brisk demand
" for mules. Medium two year old, sold
at from $140 to $150 ; second rate two
-year old at $105; yearlings at from $S0
to $105.
The Practical Farmer says a Jersey
cow, two years and two months old,
.belonging to ;Mr.,Bullock,. of Phila
delphia, gives ten quarts, of milk
tisily, and that from this 9 J pounds of
butter are made per week. . .
' Mr. Jasper Jewett; of La Salle Co.,
. 111., writes the Prairie Farmer that he
Jcilled four half breed Chester, pigs.
Just eight months old, whjch averaged
when dressed, 236 pounds, one of them
weighing 273 pounds.
Tbs-Mark Lane Express says much
'cf the potatoe crop of this season, in
England, has become decayed since
the last of September. A correspon
dent of that paper says 60 per ceut. of
ait crop, of om Bort, were unfit for
food: . - ,
' The Maine Farmer says, Mr. B. F.
He3'nolds, of Sidney, raised 25J bush
els of wheat from one bushel of seed
sown o& one half acre of land. This
certainly speaks well of the wheat
producing abilities of that section of
Maine.
A correspondent of the Western
Rural says Ionia Co., Mich., has
ranked among the first counties in
the State as to hop production, but
f "ys net more than one acre out of
fifteen was. polled this year, and not
more than puefurtij of, those polled
Were picked.
Our Agricultural Exchanges.
As the old year is drawing to a close,
and we are about entering on a new
one, we feel that we owe agricultural
exchanges from which we have gath
ered so much information the past
year, at least a passing notice. We
have for many jeers been a constant
reader of most of these . papers, and
would as soon think of doing without
our regular roeais, us wn"ul"
We vouch that no one will be dissatis
fied with any one or mora of them,
who will take and read them for a
twelve month.

Mestrt. Terri Oryvoorf.
Dkar Sirs: Yours or tneistn i am in receiptor.
in which youak il I have any objections to sending
vou, for publication, the facts I am acquninted with.
In relation to the character of the Walter Grape. 1
have never indorsed tne character or usefulness ol
vines, or other articles of any description, and would
not at my present stage of life were It not for two
reasons which seem sufficient. First, I know the
Waltrr Grave will meet the prelud ices widesDread
throughout the Coou try, caused by the worthlessness
In most localities ef many of its predecessors. Sec
ond, because I can say from personal observation
that tbe Waller is the Dest variety I have had anr
knowledge of. and I think I have cultivated nearly
all that have been recommended, discarding them
all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford
Proline as vineyard varieties, I ara interested in
knowing that the fruit of the WaUer grows largtr
kCh year as tne vine grows oiaer, oemg uure year
fully one-third larger than It was two yean ago. It
grows well ; sets fruit welt I have seen it ripe sev
eral times before Hartford, and I have never seen
any mildew on its fruit or on its large and thick, but
Delaware shaped foliage. . The flavor of the fruit I
think superior to any other variety. You say In
your circular it is a seedling of tbe Delaware and
Diana; I think the character of each of these varie
ties is quite distinguishable In the Walter, particu
larly that of the lelaware. I ai.sd think it would
make a wine of high character. I have visited it
annually since it first bore, six years ago, three times
in Ulster Co., N. Y-, in a low valley, where the Isa
bella seldom ripens, and each time it was fully ripe
in August. I have seen it each of tbe three past sea
sons In Ponghkeepsie, ripening at the same time,
excepting lat year, when the constant ruins pre
vented all varieties from maturing at their mual
time, bnt It perfected Its fruit by the. middle of Sep
tember. The raLsins of the last mentioned crop I
have seen and eaten, which were good. From -its
sncceding la the low valley and tenacious clay ot
Modena, and also in the dry Matey position in
Poughkeepsie, I think it will be well adapted to the
varied sections of our country. You may make
whatever nse of these opinions yoa deem proper.

It Is to he eminently successful. It la enrner, and
infinitely superior to tbe Concord in quality, and
must supplant that variety so fast as lis merits be
come If nown. The Sulem, as is well known. Is the
best of the "RoKers Hybrids." Mr. Koeers thus
describes It: .
"Like other well known kinds. ros. 4 and I . this
is a liyDnd between a native and the Black Ham'
burac, bunch la ore and compart, berry In r re as
Hamburg, or a lli;ht chestnut or t atnwba color, thin
skinned, perfectly free from hart I pulp. Very sweet
and sprightly, with a most cxquUite aromatic fla
vor; not equalled by any other out-door ttrnpe for
wine or table; as early and hardy as Delaware or
Hartford, having never failed to ripen Its tnnt, in
the moat unfavorable season, for tbe past six years.
Taking all its qualities into consideration; earl Iness,
hardiness, and great vigorof vine, size and qualily
of fruit, it in pronounced by theJiest Judges whs
have tried It. to nave no equal among an ure nu
merous varieties now before the public; and I can
with confidence recommend it as ihe best of all my
collection. ,

Rogers into the hands of Mr. T. L. Harris, at Hal em
