jjOTfSE AND FARM. Wheat Encash. The Western farmers; under the lead of men whom the Western Rur-_ al of Chicago,, terms demagogues, and persons aspiring to" ma¥e polit ical capital out -of a popular cry, have vrorked*themselves into r-,: ftct fever of exciMnent in * railroad freight. They are so over stocked with grain and corn, that ices rule low; and forgetting this, ( [hey make war on the railroads for 0 6 1 ' red ucing freights to nfigure cor- : responding hey take the fact that several bushels are required to get one to marked a sufficient railroad companies are to 4)1 ame; and they refuse to consider the quan tity produced as having anyhearing en the subject at all. Whether the railroads can or cannot take atdess Tates of freight than now,: it is not for us to deC fdc. It inay be that they extortionate in their charges, and that some agitation will correct this; but it ought to be clear that, how ever this may be, the matter of pro duction is one ot the heaviest on low prices. We have enough East, and there seems to be a tolerable quanti ty all over the World ; and if the v hole mass of grain in the West could be rushed to market by the aid of low freights, the result would be to still crowd further down prices already low. How this works is already telling a practical story. -Some of thr Western roads, in obedience to the popular demand, are lowering freight rates. The Union Pacific and Den ver Pacific Railroads have done so. The‘result is that a very large sup ply is coming from Utab; and, .as we see by Colorado papers, the farmers ot that section are protest ing that if this continues they will be ruined. They want the rates raised again. The fact is, tills railroad excite ment in regard to getting good pric es for grain is about on a par with the old story of the bull that was gored. So long as it is your bull which gored mine, it is all right and (proper that you pay me damages; hut when it appears that it was oar hull which gored yours, it is alto gether another matter, and the question of damages requires careful (Cu&vderation. If the railroad will lower the freight for us, so that we can get our grain to market at high prices, it is a first-rate thing; but if they lower it for other people also, it is a bad thing, and this will not do at all. It comes to this, atter all, that de mand and production regulate prices. The Western farmer must either raise less, or else induce 'kiore, peo ple to consume it near home. In this way the railroad question will settle itself. Planting Grape Vines. Our very ably conducted cotem porary the Germantown Telegraphy gives the following seasonable and undoubtedly correct ideas on this point, which are worthy of attention from all, about setting vines, wheth- er few or many: One would suppose that so simple a thing as planting a grape vine would not need writing about; and yet the number of people inquiring “How shall we plant?” is so great that a few words to those inquirers may well be pardoned by those who think they already know enough about the matter. Now, it is a curious fact that the grape-planting on the hills along the Khine the effect isjto plant deep and aUo to keep the roots deep after the y are planted. If the grape-vine ■culling has been made three eyes a* they often are, and roots are pro trading from the two lower ones, the upper set of roots are cut away, tind every year afterwards, in going ever with the annual pruning, any roots which may appear from tfiei stem just below the surface are kept era away. Yet_we know' that in our *oils generally the vine never, or at h ast very rarely, does well when the roots get deep ; and so much is deep rooting dreaded by English garden €rs > that we find by English period icals that in hot-house culture they * ven lay a bed of lime concrete an- der the grape borders to keep the r oots from going deep, and to force “ etn to remain near the surface. It has been known to a certainty that the grape vine does best in our coun try on hills that are the dryest, and it may be that on these German dry hills there wonld'be on, our damp subsoils;^ dud thereA# bMwndilihGSg J&if: ticnlar system of surface culture, some advantage in keeping |fie roots from when there is no hiarm resulting from their deep growth. v Here, hdweypr, the rule is to, plant the roots Bhallbw. If- tliey are long when we have to transplant them. iqst£ad offsetting them thera along about four or-ffive beneath the surface. |lt is, of course very necessary to p||ss the soil firm over the roots; that is it the earth is in this good condition. It is very useful /in planting a grapevine to cut it closely in. Un less the last year’s growth be very vigorous it may b'e almost away. is the way tolpii a| good strong cane for- bearing next* year, which is the most that one ought to expect a vine to do. “Im mediate bearing” is a delusion and a share. ; Many, a person a dollar or.Ja half, dollar extra 'on a vine whielThe will “bear this amount ol money he treble I of quantity of graphs s lt him, even if it„4)eara at aft.* Stillwe like to plant"?gcfdd stiODgjbeahby grapes. The Jittle crawqaills wpclT come out as g.. The Elmira Farmers’ Club, at a reccent meeting considered the sub - ect of separate seeding for clover and the grasses, and most of the speakers were in favor of it. It is the general experience that where wheat dies out, there the grass is best, hence, if there were no wheat at all, the whole field around would be equally good. -One farmer said that he had sown grass seed sepa rately for ten years, and he had not had one failure. Early last fall he plowed up oat stubble, and sowed timothy with good results. He , came to consider the subject first In clearing new land, where log heaps were burned, after the wheat w i as sown, and bare spots left, which were seeded, though late, and there the grass was by far the best. No hay should ever be cut the first year, but if there is a good stand the field may be pastured, for it is certain that grass grows thicker after long fed. The practice of sowing grass, and especially clover seed, originat ed in the idea, now generally pre vailing, that the young plants require shade, and it is supposed that unless this protection is afforded the sun will destroy the crop. This is prob ably true, in a warm and true also where the seed is sown late ; but our judgement decidedly is that, if separate sowing is done early, both North and South, the stand w.lll;be much better than if sown with small grain. But it is to be understood that the soil must be rich enough, and plowed deep enough, to give the young plants a rapid start, and permit their roots readiiyi to descend. There is no doubt tfuVa good stand of grass is more profitable than the grain, for aside from'its value as leed, it keeps up the fertility, hence it is worthy of having the 'best possible chaface i for itself. To Stop tu b ges of Moths. —Camphor will no> jtop the ravages oi moths in carpets* alter they have commenced eating. Then they pay no regard to the presence of cam phor, cedar of tobacco. A good way to conquer them is to take a* coarse crash towel and wring it out of clean Water. Spread it smoothly on the carpet, then iron it dry with a good hot iron, repeating the oper ation on all suspected places, and those least used. It does uot injure the pile or the color of the carpet in the least, as it is not necessary to press hard, heat and steam being the agents; and they do the work effectually on worms and eggs, and prevent further damage by millers. •I >•> A.
