FARR, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
How a Farmer may Lose Money.
By not taking a good home paper.
Beeping no account of home operations.
Paying,no attention to the good maxim,
"A. stitchin time saves nine," in regard to
the sowing of grain and planting of seed at
the proper time. \
Leaving reapers, plows, cultivators, etc.,
- ,
uncovered from the rain and heat of the sun.
More money, is lost this way than most -peo-
plc are willing to belleve.
—Permitting broken implements to be scat
tered over the farm until they are irrepara
ble. By repairing broken implements at
the proper time many dollars may be
saved; a proof of the assertion that "time is
money."
Attending the auction sales and purchas
ing all kinds of trumpery, because in the
-words of the vender, the articles are "very
cheap."
• Allowing fences to remain unrepaired
until strangd cattle are found grazing in
the meadow, grain fields, or bruising the
fruit trees. \
Disbelieving the principal of a rotation
of crops, before making a single experiment.
Planting fruit trees with the expection of
having fruit, without giving the trees half
the attention required to make them profit
able. I '
Practicing economy by depriving stock
of proper shelter during winter, and giving
-them unsound food, such as half rotten and
mouldy. hay and fodder.
Keeping an innumerable tribe of rats on
the premises, and' two or three lazy dogs
that eat up more in a month than they are
worth in a whole life-time.
And, lastly, he loses by not reading the
zdvertiOments of those who patronize the
printer, they being invariably the most en
terprising and liberal houses to deal with,
when he goes to town.
GRAPES IN TREES
For some months past an article relating
to raising grapes on has been going the
rounds 4 of the press. The method is en
tirely at variance with the approved plans
recommended by the modern writers of
grape books. In confirmation of the theory
advanced in favor of raising grapes in this
way, l we give some account of our own ex
perience. Some years ago we had an Isa
bella grape-vine that ran up into a tall plum
tree which stood in an angle of our house,
with a north-east exposure, and in such a
position that it did not have more than three
or four hours of morning sun. Yet the
fruit on this vine—a variety that did not
ripen well in other localities—never failed
to ripen ntpst perfectly, though few bnnches
of the fruit ever saw the sun; for the foliage
of the tree was quite dense. Some years
later,we planted a grape-vine beside a wild
cherry tree, and allowed it to rtin rampant
through and over the tree. It has never
failed, since it first produced fruit; to give
perfectly ripe •clusters, though itl has re
ceived no care beyond a limited supply of
old, well-rotted manure. From this vine
we have yearly sold the grapes for a good
sum, and there is every prospect that it will
be good for many years to come; whereas,
within a few feet, the new and approved
sorts, cultivated on the new and approved
principles, were nearly or quite a
failure the pail year, and, in years before,
they never have dine so well as the vine on
the,tree. In Italy, it is said, they train
their vines in trees, and find it to be an eco
nomical arrangement. There is another
great advantage to be derived from this
training in trees, or rather allowing the
vine to run into\ trees- r they are not ex
posed, nor do they suffer' one-tenth part so
much from blight, and mildew of leaf, or rot
of fruit, as the vines standing in the vine
yard trained to posts or trellises. It is more
natural for the vine; for, go where we will
in the forests, we find grape-vines pushing
their way even to the very tops of the tall
est trees, and spreading themselves out
among the branches where they can mature
their purple clusters. Again: we find them
clambering over fences and bushes by the
roadside, delighting the traveller by their
fragrance while in blossom, and, pleasi t ng
the eye and the taste of those who relish
them when ripe. This plan will be object
ed to, because it injures, and in time de
stroys the tree. We are not prepared to ad
vise -the planting of trees for the purpose, or,
if any, not fruit trees; but will simply ad
vise those having trees that they do not
value very highly, and are willing to devote
to raising grapes, to plant a vine or vines
beside them, and manure well, and they
will be pleased with the results.—American
Journal of Horticulture.
HOW TO MARE FIVE GALLONS OF GRAPE
WINE.
A .orrespondent of the Germantown Tel
. egraph says the following reMpe produces
excellent wine: Expr. as the ,juice—from
twenty pounds of grapes and rinse the pulp
and skins in as much water as will cover
them, mash them and strain through a coarse
cloth, add this to the juice and put in two
pounds of brown sugar to each gallon;
when the sugar is diisolyed, pour the whole
Into a keg, haying the bung open, and let it
stand where the temperature will be about
70 degrees, until fermentation cease ; then
bung tight, and let it rest for a month to
settle, when it should be drawn off quietly,
the keg welt washed, and the wine returned
to it, adding one pound good raisins—and
if the wine - does not seem sweet enough,
two pounds sugar may be added to the
whole. The necessity of doing this de
pends upon the kind and quality of the
grapes. The wine should remain until the;
keg is wanted the next season, when it may
be bottled for dee.
THE KELLEY'S ISLAND HEADE CROP.
The grape crop of Kelley's Island, Lake
Erie, or as some know it, Cunningham's
Island, will not equal this year the yield of
last year, when there were Sold from it
1400 tons of grapes and 200,000 gallons of
wine. The crop, however, will be good
this season. On Big and Little Ross Islands,
and on Johnson's and Put in Bay Islands,
the crop will also prove fair. The' grapes
from these islands are considered the finest
that grow in this country. On the islands
they are worth wholesale from 4 to sic per
pound.
These vinyards have the advantage over
most others in Ohio, from the fact that the
frost visits them two weeks later in the
Bpting and leaves them two weeks earlier in
the Fall The best of these. Catawba grapes
are bought up by the Kelley "Island Wine
Company, for the purpose of making wine.
TO BEmovs TILE SKIS FROM PEACHES
Every one knows that there is a great lois
of pulp in paring peaches with a knife; to
obviated, which an exchangeauggests the fol
lowing method of, treating them: Make lye
as strong aspossible of wood ashes and soft
water. Fill a kettle with the lye, and when
boiling rapidly,-drop in twelve or eighteen
peaches, and take out again almost imme
lliately,. and immerse them in a pail of cold
. - water. Take .oner in your hand, and you
perceive that the rind will slip off
entirely, leaving a round, beautiful yellow
ball; throw immediately into another pail of
pure water, and so proceed till all . tire done.
This process will not injure the flavor of
the finest peach, and once tried, the
, old fashioned way - of pealing with a knife
will not be again' adopted. If the lye is not
strong enough put into the kettle two dip
perfuls of clean . wood ashes. This is an
excellent way to rid small onions of their
jackets preparatory to pickling them.
SALTLEG DOWN CUCUMBERS FOR PICKLES
heave half an inch of stem on cucumbers
wash them in cold water, immediately pack
with salt in alternate layers, salt next to
the wood; one barrel of salt to five of cu
cumbers. Fill barrel full, putting salt on
top, cut a wide board so as just to fit inside
barrel, bore a half dozen half inch holes
through, place it on pickles with a stone on,
which should weigh at least twenty-five
pounds. so as to keep the pickles always in
brine. Take off all scum which riE4l3.
Keep the barrels in the shade, and in four
weeks take off the stone and fill to the top,
as they will settle some. Put more salt on,
head them up, and they are ready for mar
ket. "It is hest to have two sizes of pickles.
—Country' Gentleman.
COOKING SWEET CORN
That sweet corn may retain all its rich
flavor and sweetness, it should be cooked
in the following manner: Loosen the husks
at'the small end of the ear, and remove all
the silk that can conveniently - be got at.
Then replace the husks, tying them with 'a
string; put the ears into water that is boil
ing, being careful not to put so many in the
kettle at a time as to essentially reduce the
temperature of the water. It is a good
thing to place a little white sugar on the
corn when the husks are loosened. To
those who raise their own corn, we would
say, do not break off the ears till they are
wanted for use.
BOILING FRUIT
A writer in the Gardner's Monthly, in re
ferring to the difficulty of using glass jars
for putting up fruit, on account of break
age, says: is customary to put the
glasses in cold water and gradually heat
them up to near boiling point, when the
heated fruit is put in and closed up. But
with all my greatest care glasses often
break. Now I get a wet towl, double it
four-pr five times and set the jar in this
while pouring in the warm fruit. I adopted
.this plan all the last season, and did not
have a single glass crack. It seemed so un
reasonable to cool them instead of warming
them, that I was at first afraid to try it, and
very reluctantly experimented with two.
As these succeeded I did all that way last
summer."
TOMATO KETCHITP
Take one peck of tomatoes, one great
spoonful , of cloves, alspice, cinnamon
and nutmeg, each, half a large spoon
ful of black pepper, half a teaspoonful
of cayenne, and a pint and a half of vine
gar Stew the tomatoes and strain them,
and then add the spice and vinegar. This
will make three bottles.
I3OX THE TUMBLING RODS
A. law was _passed by the last lowa
Legislature, which provides that any
person running a threshing machine,
without boxing the tumbling rod, shall
be liable to a fine of $5O. It is also a
part ,of the proViaions of the law that
machine•ownel s cannot collect pay by . legal
process for threshing if the. ranching which
did the work run with unboxed rods.
A ° NEW SEEDLING llol'
Ilas been grown in sonic parts of the East this
year with excellent success, both in relation to
the amount of yield And the quality of the pro
duct. It is known ae " Paltneris Si edling."
Was originated at Waterville, N. Y., - and
its chief distinctive quality is its early ma
turity. They are ready to pick the first of
August, and by being ripe at this early pe
riod", it is thought they will escape, the.
ravages of the hop aphis. '--
TO MAKE CITRON-MELLON PIT.ESERVEB
Cut the melon in what form you please;
place in a kettle with water enough to
cover, and boil until soft, previously adding
Ei pig ca of alum; when -done put to drain,
and then place in s jar.with sugar, an al
ternate layer of each; a p and of sugar to a
pound of lemon. When the sugar is dial
solved, boil, adding lemon and ginger root
to suit the taste.
A CORRESPONDENT Of the Horticulturist
says that he practices with success, growing
peach trees in pots, and wintering them in
the cellar. In the spring they are plunged
in the earth to the tops of the pots.
ALL roots should have room. If standing
thick, they should be thinned without mer—
cy. Unless on newly cleared land they
grow best in drills, for they can be cultiva
ted.
FINE, well rotted manure; applied to the
surface gives the wheat plant strength to go
well through the winter, and it tits the
ground for receiving clover seed early in
spring.
THIR.TY years ago a man in Massachusetts
planteVO acres with acorns, and the result
is a fine oak forest, with trees from 12 to 18
inches in diameter. Of course, he who
panted is still living.
