Almost all the treatises on the prac tical cultivation of the grape are in tended for largo vineyards, where the prnpo is cultivated for market pur poses nlono. Ths amateur gardener w ho has but a few dozen grapevines to enro for can get very little profit from these rules. For tho benefit of tho amateur wo may say that the best time for prunimig his grapes will bo tho spring and summer mouths. ITe should have a clear idea as to the number of branches, and which ones ho needs to leave grow for fruiting tho following season J and, soon after growth has commenced, the weaker shoots that he does not need for fruit ing tho following season should be takou out. All tho vital power of tho plnuts will then go into the branches that ore left. They will be strong ond healthy and bear line crapes tho fol lowing season. Another point to be attended to is that in the limited room of the amateur's garden it is desirable to keep the fruitins branches as low to the ground ns possible, ana every r ' - I , -f- 1 effort should bo made tojy-tafTTJetween the rows, and my word for it, strong. In thqjTmer pruning, or, rather, . '-7iUehit)g out," of thoso r".STihes it will be found that tho up per shoots are tho strongest aud tho lower ones the weaker, If it is found desirable to have the branches low toward the ground, the upper branches, although strong, should be pinched back. This will throw tho strength of the plant into the weaker branches and make them as strong as if they pushod out from the upper portions of the plant. It is impossible to teach this in tho few words of o paragraph. Much can be learned from actual trials, and if the amateur grower with little experience in grape-growing, and with this paragraph before him, will experiment with a single vine for ono year, be will learn more from actual observation than he .could by studying a whole book on grape cul ture for a week. Median's Monthly. co Tnnocr.H iofr onrnARD. Many farmers dcrivo more profit, acre for acre, from their apple or chards than from their grain and root crops; and yet there is no part of tho farm so systematically neglected. It the soil is rich, there is probably a heavy growth of grass cut in Jnne or July, and after that the horses and cows, or perhaps both, aro turned in to utilize the new crowlh as it appears. Then in the fall tho apples are gath ered and shipped away to market, or put into the cellar or made into cider ; or, if tho farmer is particularly shift less, many of them may even bo al lowed to remain on the ground and rot. This is the experience of the averago orchard. So fertilizer is applied to the ground, the trees are not protect ed from horses or cattle, or from the attacks of rabbits and mice in winter ; there is no pruning or thinning, and so fresh stock is substituted for the superannuated and decayed. Dead trees aro occasionally cut down for firewood and the open spaces are loft and enlarged from time to time by the cutting down of other trees. And then, finally, long after the old or chard is past even a questionable use fulness, some energctio descendant of tho family will set a new orchard and the remnant of tho old one will go to swell the supply of winter wood. If some of the energy that is spent in tilling the corn and bean and po tato fields on the rocky hillsides would be expended in the apple orchard, the farmer would find his income appreci ably increased. Let him go among bis trees some winter or spring when ho is at leisure and cut out all the de cayed and superfluous branches from the valuable trees, and then graft such strong, healthy stock as bears poor fruit to good, marketable varieties. If from age or any other cause some of the trees do not bear well, lot them be cut down and repluoed by new stock. And, in this connection, it might be advisable to have a small nursery of a few dozen trees coming on all the time in some out-of-the-way corner of the garden to meet any possible demand of the orchard. Each locality has its tested varie ties; and, before grafting or setting sew trees, tho farmer should make a close study of his market, and then select such sorts as he thinks will be the most profitable. A few good sum nicr and fall varieties should be in eluded, but not many ; the great bulk of his fruit should be good-keeping, winter varieties that cau be kept, if desirable, until late in tbo spring be fore selling. Young trees bear best, and this is an important fact the grower should keep in mind. In renewing an old orchard or setting a new one, it is best to plant the trees not more than thirty feet opart, aud then replace them by sew ones as thev grow older ucterior ate in any way. If a tree does not bear fruit a? expected, graft it promptly to tome variety vou have proved. Give the soil tomething for what you take from it, aud protect tbo young trees from cattle aud bark-loving marauders. With the tame in telligent care that is giveu to other Inrin crops, I am convinced that the profits of the apple orchard will ex ceed them all. New York Indepen dent. SMALL FBTIT3 ON TUB FAT1M. There uro three reasous why farm ers do not have a succession of small fruit from the time the first strawber ries appear until the Concord grape is gone: First, tho high price asked b many dealers; second, the prevalent opinion that setting aud raring tor fruit is a mysterious business; third, the thuULiUt that it w ill be many years, or a short lifetime, before uuy fruit is obtained. I believe we nro mistaken in all three reasons. Plants aro quite cheap if we ;;o to the r.ght plueo to buy them. Sotting is no mystury,ttud any lurinir can do it.

Bo lect 100 Crescents, 100 liubaohs, and 100 Captain Jacks. Theso varieties are quoted at SI per hundred, or S3 to S3 per thousand. If over a hun dred are ordered, tbo plants nre se cured at tho thousand rate. Tut 100 plants in a row, spreading tho roots out well, and pressing the earth firm ly about them. Ten days after they are set, cultivate them with a two horse cultivator, and continue this cvory week for eight weeks. Yotl moy have to (to over the patch once or twice with a hoe, and be sure to pick off all tho buds and flower stems, for it will not do to lot thomjruit tljofst.. season. In the fVrf-Tovor with rve strawund -ia-the spring rake the straw you will hove all tbo berries a farmer's family can eat, at a cost of les& than three conts per quart. Currants and gooseberries can bo raised as easily as corn. I have tried some six or eight varieties of currants, and find the Ked Dutch the only kind which gives a good crop every year. I wonld plant ninety two-year-old Red Dutch, and ten two-year-old White Dutch. Set in one long row, and cul tivate as you would corn. The seoond year from planting, a fair crop will be obtained. Mulch well in summer. They will then retain the loaves, which protect the fruit and givo it a chance to get well ripened. Plant 100 goose berries in a row, selecting fifty Hough ton and fifty Downing. If well culti vated, thoy will give a halt crop the first year after planting. Bod Dutch currants 'can be had for three cents apiece, and gooseberries fivo to eight cents. With a little trimming each spring, 100 gooseberries and 100 cur rants will bo all ono family can use, with some to sell. Grapes can bo produced at less than a cent a pound. Put out two rows in some lot or field near by, fifty vines in each row, six foet apart in the row, and tho rows eight to ten feet apart. Buy twenty Moore's Early tit eight cents apiece, thirty Worden at six cents apiece, and fifty- Concord at three cents apiece. You can hardly make a mistake if you buy all Con cords, but the Moore's Early comes first, then tho W"rden fills in the space between t1 early grapes and the Concords, aa.. you will have grapes for six weeks. As support, set good oak posts, and attach to them three good wires. Sometime in Feb ruary, cut back the now growth to four or six buds, plow and cultivate well. The 1 est and cheapest fruit of all is the Early Biohmond cherry. The trees are cheap, and they will grow and bear well with but little care. The fruit sells readily if more is produced than is desired for homo use. Good trees, four to six feet high, can be had at largo nurseries for $10 to $12 pot hun dreJ. If you have only six or eight bearing trees, the birds and boys will annoy you so inuoh that you will have to pick them bofore they are ripe. But get fifty trees, set thorn along the garden fence, aud in some fence cor ner where nothing but weeds have been growing for years. We do not realize that every squaro rod of land on our farm has eight to ten tons of choice soil capable of raisins a fine cherry tree. Look around your farm, and see how many square rods aro go ing to waste which might prow a cherry, a peach or plum tree. When the trees arrive, cut on the ends of the roots, making a clean cut. . Pack the earth firmly about the roots. Keep the ground about tho tree mellow by cultivating or hoeing. If this cannot bo done, mulch the tree with half rotted manure. After two or throe years the cherry tree will take care of itself, and you will then have euougn fruit for tbe birds, tbo boys and your own familv use. One of the drawbacks of furm life is securing help in the house when a little extra work is re quired in picking and putting up small fruit. It is, however, nearly always possible to find some poor women or children in your neighborhood who will be clad to do a few days work. and take fruit as pay. Start some small fruit on your farm this spring, set in lontr rows so that it can ve cultivated Buy at wholesale rates of any good, reliable firm, and in the end you will lind more pleasure and profit than in nuything on tho farm.

Some of tbe prettiest window cur tains and portieres of country houses, and, iudcud, suitable for city rooms that aro furnished in old colonial style, are tho colonial draperies, in various colors, such as old blue, old red and forest green, says a writer in Vogue. They havo narrow cross stripes in self-colorings mingled with white, nnd on tho ends these cross f tripos are in groups, forming n border. The ma terial is of cotton, of rather loose weave, nnd heavy enough to hang gracefully. It is tho same on both sides, nnd is moderate iu prioo. Many and various are the pretty things of moderate cost which are used for houso decoration, aud which, with judgmcut in their selection, will make the most simple room attractive. Among these are small wicker chairs without arms, the seat upholstered in striped Japanese matting and the wicker painted forest green. Settees of the same, with very high backs, npholsterod on seat and back with India cotton material, in gtoups of brilliant stripes on a dull buff ground, aro also very handsome and far from costly. A new and attractive material for upholstering white, enameled furniture is of olive-green color, with wide stripes of a darker shade of green. Tho material is of grcon, withcordnroy stripes, and there are wall papers whioh are made to match. Chairs of oak or other wood which have become defaced and scratched and are seemingly hopeless, may be ohangod to very decorative objects by painting them with white enamel paint, which dries very rapidly, nnd when applied carefully has a most beautiful smooth surface Tbe seats can be easily upholstered at homo in some pretty stuff, snch as above de scribed, and should bo put on with very small gilt or brass-hcadod tacks, the heads uot much larger than those of the ordinary carpet taeks. A white enameled chair, with seat upholstered iu forest-green corduroy, put on without braid, and with tiny brass tacks placed very done together, was so attractive that it has formed the keynote for a wholo set of delight ful furniture evolved from a much be- scratched and shabby bedroom suite.
