The r hTiloxera ia wbat mar be
tailed tbe grape louse, tbt is making
tad Laroc with grape vines in V.u
rope, and also to bome extent in tbie
country. It may be wen at tbe roots
tf tbe Vines, aod'a!o in tbeleaf galls,
Lut not plainly Tinible to tbe unaided
vision. This year baa been remarka
ble fr tbe" extensive difear-e of
grapes in tbe West, principally tbe
black rot, as it is called. Some of tbe
best vineyards of Ot'.o bare been al
most a total failure ; and where tbe
rot was tbe worst, tbe roots of tbe
vines were fonnd to be badly affected
bv phylloxera, tbe lice being found on
tile roots in proportion to the extent
of rot in grapes. Tbe ravages of
ILece lice on tbe root may be known
by tbe warts, or excresences on. or
near the ends of tbe latterals, and
f bowing decay ot the roots where af
fected. In regard to tbe remedy, tbe
only one known at present, is to grow
only sutb vines as have great recup
erative strength to form new roots as
fast as the lice decay in the old ones
The Concord, and all varieties of as
free-growing as that is, seem to es
cape tbe rot best; yet even tbe Con
cord bas not escaped this season in
some localities. Ad important aid
it warding off tbe effects of phyllox
era, is to prone rather closely, and to
prevent overbearing, so as not to
draw too much on the vitality of tbe
roots Grane rrowinir in vinevards
bas received a check from tbe edectt
of disease in 187", that will render
tbe bufeinebs more profitable than it
Las been to tboee wbasc vines are ex
empt from tbe root-lice. A writer on
this subject, says of a Ene vineyard
on tbe Detroit "river : "Tbe Concord,
Clinton, Delaware, Salem, and Rog
ers' 4 and '.' are bad.' attacked, so
that tbe prospects of the vineyard are
really nothing." This looks bad fvr
grape growers in the future.
C&A3BEBHIES.
If I were to choose whether I
would prefer to own a gold mine in
California, or cranberry plantation
ia New Jersey. I think I would
prefer tbe latter. A Mr, Hinchman
bas astonished the natives of Med
foid, Darlington county, New Jersey,
in taking four acres oi swamp land,
and making it equal in cash returns
to half tbe gold mines that exist
Here is wbat tbe editor of a paper
says who visited the plantation:
' What we desired to see most was
tbe wonderful work of Mr. Hinchman
in tbe old mill ponds long beld as al
most worthless. We went upon the
old bog on which, twenty years ago,
Mr. II. commenced the culture which
bas in successive years grown to such
iarge proportions under bis skill and
energy. It contains about ten acres,
ani cost tbe owner about $1,000 to
bring it to tbe bearing point, three
years from the setting. For seven
teen successive years it bas borne
good crops never less than 100
bushels to tbe acre and it is the base,
financially as otherwise, of all bis
subfequent operations. That $1,0,00
is tbe original capital invested in tbe
Taunton cranberry plantation now
variously wtimated as worth $100,000
to $200,000, and producing a net in
come of $20,000 to $i0,000 per an
num. Tbe ten acres have grown to
a total of about 275 acres set in vines,
nearly all in bearing and never failing
to give a crop the latter result hav
ing no parallel anywhere. This won
derful oetwark of bogs ranging from
ten to sixty acres each, shows no
ordinary degree of engineering tkill.
Mr Hinchman controls the stream
which water these lands, and bas
constructed a series of dams and can
als whereby be can carry tbe water
to any point desired and in any quan
tity can flood any particular bog
ten to Clieen feet deep in a few hours
time the great secret of his uni.'orm
success, while so many ethers fail."
Let no one attempt to grow cranber
ries if be cannot flood tbe land in the
winter season ; but with good facili
ties for flooding, this fruit can be
grown anywhere as well as in New
Jersey. '
BE t.ESTLE WTIl COW S.
A New Tork State dairyman gives
bis method of treating cows as fol
lows : "Tbe cowi are gently driven
to tbe barn each night and morning,
if tbey do not, as is usually tbe case,
come of their owa acord, when tbey
take their place in tbe stable, each in
its own particular stanchion with
mathematical precision. No dog, no
fright or worry, is permitted ; and
tbe milking is done quietly and or
derly, with no loud talking, no sud
den and startling noises. There is
no patting of the cows on the back
with tbe stool, no persuading with
tbe toe of tht boot, no coaxing at the
top of the voice. Tbey are made to
give down by generous feeding and
gentle treatment, and tbe principle of
kindness is illustrated by the depth
of the cream on their milk."

Ir. Loring, ia an address at a far
mers' meeting in Portland, Me., said
that turnips are better food for hors
es than carrots, but this assertion
was disputed by some of tbe farmers
present, on bearing which Messrs.
Welch, Teel and Palmer, of Salem,
Mass., sent tbe Doctor the following
letter :
"We notice that in the farmers'
meeting at Portland, your statement
that Swedish turnips as food for hor
ses waa questioned once more, and
that Mr. Ware declared yon were
all wrong in your low estimate of
carrots. New, we bare bad a good
deal of experience in this thing as
well as yourself. Some years ago
we noticed tbe good condition of your
torses, and on icqairy of your groom
how mor-h grain tney rot, we were
told that they bad little or none, but
were fed on Swedish turnips. We1
fcaa louna oat oarscirts that carrots
were not good food for continual use
that they made our horses very
soft, unOt for work, and that tbey
affected their kidneys badly, ar.d we
. were glad to lay them aside and take
tarnfps as a substitute. Since we
did tbia, our horses have improved in
every way. They look healthier,
work better, and keep ia good condi
tion. Yoa are right about car.-ots,
and deserve the thanks of all who
keep horses, for introducing Abe use
of turnips as a feed lor te:n. -We
always keep roEi tea to twenty on
baod, and we know what we are
talking about." It is strange, if this
is true, that farmers did sot bod itj

A writer on scientific agriculture
gives the following, illustrations of a
wav in which farmers may be " de
ceived in tbe value of commercial
fertilizers: "A farmer bas a held,
the soil of which is much reduced,
fur which be has no yard manure,
and decides to cultivate it iu corn,
using fertilizers. He intends it also
for an instructive experiment, and
applies to one part of it muriate of
potash and to another a simple sup
erphosphate. On the portion where
the potash is applied, a fine crop is
produced ; but on that which received
the superphosphate, it is very poor.
He at once concludes, and conGdent
ly states, that the superphosphate
was worthless, tbe manufacturer of
it a villain,' and tbe experiment bas
proved it But be is too fast. Hi
superphosphate might have been poor
or might have been a first class arti
cle of its kind, but tbe experiment has
proved nothing in relation to it ; it
has proved, however, that bis land
needed potash, and it is highly pc3
sible that if be bad mixed bis two
elements, the crop on the whole field
would bave been better than it was
on that which received tbe potash
alone."

A young lady from the South was
wooed and won by a younir Califor
nia physician. About tbe lime the
wedding was to come off, tbe young
man lost bis entire fortune. He wrote
tbe lady a letter releasing her from
ber engagement And what does the
dear, good girl do ? Why, she takes
a lump of pure gold which ber lover
had sent ber in bis prosperity, as a
keepsake, and, having it manufactur
ed into a ring, forwards it' to ' bitn
with tbe following Bible inscription
engraved in distinct characters on
tbe ouuiJe : "Entreat me not to
leave thee, or to return from foil iw
ing after thee ; for wbither thou go
est will I go, and wbither thou lodir
est will I lodge, tby people shall be
my people, and thy (od my God ;
where thou diest will I die, and there
will I lie buried; the Lird do so to
me, and more also, if aurbt but death
part me and thee." We may add
that fortune soon again smiled .upon
tbe young physician, and tbat be
subsequently returned to tbe South
to wed tbe sweet girl be loved, and
wbo loved bim with such ondyin?
affection. Header, this is all true
Young ladies wbo read tbe Bible as

It was in this march
through tbe
Carolinaa I again saw 60 much ot
the influence on tbe soldiery. It
rained nearly all tbe time ; the roads
were horrid, and had to be corduror-
ed with poles and rails half the way;
the wagons and tbe artilerv stuck in
the mire hourly, and tbe soldiers bad
to drag tbem out with their own
bands. Every stream bad to be
bridged, every quagmire filled, and
every mile skirmished with the ene
my. There was not a tent in tbe
a'my. Even the General slept in
tbe woods under "flies," in deeerted
bouses, or lone churches along the
way. On right and left, before aud
behind, was an enemy; quagmires
were tinder foot and continued rain
overhead; yet through all this the
bys tugged and fought, and amidst
their tugging sang and cheered. It
was the magnetism of one really
great m-n. It was "Billy Sherman."
His approach to the line of march
was tbe signal for shouting that I
bave beard taken up and repeated
for miles ahead. Hiding alongside
tho regiments struggling through tbe
mud or tbe underbrush at tbe road
side, be would often speak to tbe
nearest Boldiera with some kind en
couraging word. Nor was it unusu
al to bear private soldiers call out to
bim, knowing bis kind heart would
give them no rebuff. At headquar
ters there was little pretense and no
6how. When evening came a con
venient spot in tbe woods was usu
ally Bought out, a few tont "flies"
were stretched and a rail fire built in
front Tbe mess cbest was opened,
and a bastr but substantial meal was
enjoyed amid conversation on almost;
every topic but war. On this be was

A very eommon mistake is made
and much fuel wasted in the manner
of replenishing coal fires in grates
and furnaces. Tbey should be fed
with a little coal at a time, and often;
bnt servants to save time and trouble,
put on a gri-at deal at once, the first
reult beiog-that all the beat is ab
sorbed by tbe newly put on coal
which dues not put out beat until it
become? red hot. Heme, for a while
the room is cold, but wben it becomes
fairly aglow the heat is insufferable.
Tbo time to replenish a coal Ore is as
soon as tbe coals begin to show ashes
on the surface; then put on merely
enough to show a layer of black
coal covuring the red This will
soon kindle, and. as there is not much
of it; an excess of beat will not be
given out Many also put out a fire
by stirring the grata as soon as frexb
coal is put on, thus leaving ali the
beat in toe ashes wben it should be
sent t" tbe new supply of coal. Tbe
tim" to stir a Cre is wben coal laid
on ia pertty well kindled Tbia
method of managing a coal fire is
troublesome, bnt it saves fuel, gives
more uniform beat and prevents the
discomfort of alterations of heat and
cold above referred to.

Beauty and style are not tbe pur-

or tbe noblest specimens of woman
hood tbe world has ever seen have
presented the plainest and ruoet un-prepor-sesriing
appearance. A wo
man 8 worth is to be estimated by
her real goodness of heart and tbe
parity and sweetness of ber cbarac
ter; and such a woman, with a kind
ly disposition and a well balanced
mind and umper, is lovely and at
tractive. Be ber face ever so plain
and her form ever so homely, she
makes tbe best of wives and the
truest of mothers. She bas a higher
purpose of life than the beautiful, yet
vain and supercilious w.mio who
bas no other desire than to flaunt ber
finery on tbe streets, or to gratify ber
inordinate vanity by attracting Sat
