Lut not plainly visible to tbe unaided

ble fur tbe extensive disease of
prapee in tbe West, principally tbe
black rot, as it is railed. Seme of tbe
ben vineyards of Ob: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
by phylloxera, the lice beintr found on
tbe roots in proportion to tbe extent
of rot io grapes. Tbe ravages of
l bene lice on tbe root may be - known
by tbe warts, or exeresences on, or
near tbe ends of tbe latterala, and

only one known at present, is to grow
only such vines as Lave great recup

some localities. An important aid
in warding off tbe effects cf phyllox

prevent over-bearinp, bo as not to
draw too much on the "itality of the
roots. Grape growing in vineyards
has received a check from tbe effects
of disease in 1877, that will render
tbe business more profitable than it

BE '.ESTLE V ITU COWS.
A New York State dairyman gives
bis method of treating cows as fol
lows : "Tbe cows 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 tbeir place in tbe stable, each io
its own particular stanchion with
mathematical precision. No dog, no
frigbt or worry, is permitted ; and
the milking is done qnietly and or
derly, with no loud talking, no sud
den and startling noises. There is
no patting of tbe cows on the bck
with tbe stool, no persuading with
tbe toe of the boot, no coating at the
top or tbe voice. Ibey are made to
give down by generous feeding and
gentle treatment, and tbe principle of
kindness is illustrated by tbe depth
or tbe cream on tbeir milk."

Pr. Loring, ia an address at a far
tilers' meeting in Portland, Me., said
that turnips are better food for hors
es than carrots, but tbis assertion
was disputed by some of tbe farmers
present, on bearing which Messrs.
Welch, Teel and Palmer, of Salem.
Mass., sent the Doctor the following
letter :
"We notice that in tbe farmers'
meeting at Portland, your statement
that Swedish turnips as food for hor
ses was qoestioned nee more, and
that Mr. Ware declared you were
all wrong in voar low estimate of
carrots. Now, we have had a good
deal of experience in this thing as
well as yourself. Some years ago
we noticed tbe good conditiou of vour
horses, and on irrjuiry of your groom
how much grain tney cot, we were
told that they had little or none, but
were fed on Swedish turnips. We
had found out ourselves that carrots
were not good food for continual use
that tbey made our horses very
soft, unfit for work, and that tbey
uccieu lueir aiuiipvs uaaiy, ana we
were glad to lay tbcm aside and take
larnlpsas a substitute. Since we'uigmountcd at tbe roadside, and
did this, our horses have improved in
every way. They look healthier,
work better, and keep in good condi
tion. Yon are right about carrots,
and deserve the thanks of all who
keep horses, for introducing tie pee
of turnips as a feed for t&er. -We
always keep from tea to twenty on
band, and we know vbat we are
talking about." It is strange, if tbis
is true, that farmers did not find it
out till tbis late day. Cut carrola
are much more nutritious than tur.
oips ; and tbe probability is, that
what tbe above men say is net relia
ble, but it is a snbject of interest to
farmers.

again, be bad a good stock of nurse

of his bearing trees, died with tbe

was much less destructive; obly
about one-fourth of his bearing trees
died. Each time tbe blight continued
two to four years, and tbe iutwvaU
were eighteen or twenty ycar3. It is
now twenty -four or twenty-lire years
since we have had any bligbt on tbe

61 rEnPIXOSPlLVTE Ail POTASH.
A writer on scientific agriculture
gives tbe following illustrations of a
way in which farmers may be ' de
ceived in the value of commercial
fertilizers: "A farmer bas a Geld,
tbe soil of which is much reduced,
for wbicb he has no yard manure,
and decides to cultira'.e 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 wbere
tbe potash is applied, a fine crop is
produced ; but on tbat which received
tbe superphosphate, it is very poor.
He at once concludes, and conGdent
ly states, tbat tbe superphosphate
was worthless, 'the manufacturer of
it a villain,' and tbe experiment has
proved it. But be is too fast. II i
superphosphate might have been poor
or might have been a lirsl class arti
cle of its kind, but tbe experiment bas
proved nothing in relation to it ; it
bas proved, however, that his land
needed potash, and it is highly pc3
sible tbat if be had mixed bis two
elements, tbe crop on the whole field
would have been better than it was

- A very eooimon mistake is made
and much fuel wasted in tbe manner
of replenishing coal fires in grates
and furnaces. Tbey should be fed
witb a little coal at a time, and often;
but servants to save time and trouble,
put on a gn at deal at once, tbe first
result being that all the beat is ab
sorbed by tbe newly put on coal
w bich does not put out beat until it
become? red hot. IIeoe, for a w hile
tbe room is cold, but wbenit becomes
fairly aglow tbo beat ia insufferable
Tbo time to replenish a coal fire is as
soon as tbe coals begin to show ashes
on tbe surface: then put on merely
enough to show a layer of black
coal covering the red This will
soon kindle, and. as there is not much
of it: an excess of heal will not be
given out Mao? also put out a fire
by stirring the grate as soon aa fresh
coal is put on, thus leaving all tbe
heat in tbe ashes when it should be
sent t tbe new supply of coal. The
tim- to stir a fire ia when coal laid
on is pertty well kindled This
method of mauagtog a coal Gre is
troublesome, but it saves fuel, gives
more uniform beat and prevents tbe
discomfort of alterations of heat and
cold above referred to.

Beauty and style are not the pur

prepossessing appearance. A wo
man's worth is to be estimated by
ber real goodness of heart and tbe
purity and sweetness of her cbarac

mind and umper, is lovely and at
