WHAT SHALL -I DO WITH TDB OS!►PE
VISE?—The American Agriculturist is
taken by a surprisingly large number
whti - are not farmers, but who live in
cities and villages. • Many of these fol
low the custom of moving on May first,
and such, as-a - general thing, find upon
their new place ono or more neglected
grape vines. , Each year.-we receive
from such tenants inquiries, asking, in
one--form or another, "how should a
neglected vine bipruned ?" We'would' -
not advise pruning as- usually under
stood—the cutting away of • the old
wood, at this season, as it causes 'it to
"bleed" at a great-rate; even ii,as some
,claim, bleeding does hot ininre the
vines,•it makes a nuisance that is desir-'
able to avoid. A vice in a village or.
city yard may be quite as vajaable for
its shade as for its fruit-44(10d often
more so. Such a•vine, it is safe to as
snme,.has been sadly neglected; and if
it has-had any treatment at all, it has
been at the hands of some ignorant job
. her. To make the best of, is all that
,can be done with an old vine, and each
one will be different from' every other,
we can only give some general =rules.
Upon an old vine the new growth will
usually not only .start from the proper
places, the buds formeklast year,. but
shoots will "break", anywhere, even
upon :old wood an inch or more in
diameter. When an' old' .7 vine pushes
shoots here and there, it is well to break
off such, and as a general thing, allow
only those shoots to grow that come
Flom regular betas. 'As these buds
, push, they will show embryo clusters,'
-among ,the unfolding leaves. These
minute clusters are not of grapes, as
many- suppose, but of 'the buds of the
flowers of the vine, which may in time
prodifee grapes. The _regular buds as
a general thing; will show three of
these little bunches. Examine such a
shoot, and there will be found an un
developed leaf, and opikisito to- it a
cluster of buds; and this arrangement,
a leaf with a cluster, will usually be re
- peited_ three times (not always); and
then, — above, on the shoot,' will be
leaves, `opposite to each, not a
cluster brit there will be a ten
dril. iii tile_filioot will bear .may be
seen in this early state. In regular
vineyard training, the young shoot is
pinched back to the first leaf beyond
1.1,c 1,4412 or urine' wurt, clurtra of buds.
But in the hap hazard treatment that
must be followed in the present case,
it will be safe to allow more leaves to
. .
remain. Go over the whole_ vine when
the shoots begin to push, and pinch
out the end of every shoot, leaving
three leaves above the uppermost clus
ter of buds; this will give all the foliSge
required for shade, and will allow the
fruit io develop much better thin
if the shoot were allowed
grow at will. If, as is often the case
on an old vine, two shoots push close
together from one place, by all means
break but the weakest of the . two. We
will endeavor to give the future treat
% 'neut of such a vine another month.
The principal insects that attack the
vino at this• early season are tho little
leaf-rolling caterpillar, which will be
mainly 'removeLi if the pinching of the
:loots is done at the proper time.—Ag,

_
AND TITIIKETS.—Daring a. con ,
t 4 i4al party at' the Carlton House. Mr.
Hanger designedly introduced the sub
ject of the traveling powers of the tur
key and the goose, and declared that
the turkey would •)ntstrip the . goose.
The Prince of Wales, who placed great
reliance on his judgment in subjects of
this nature, backed his opinion. A
match was made with Mr. Berkley of
20 turkeys against 20 geese, for a dis
tance of 10 miles, the race to be for
1500; and as Mr. Hanger and the tur
key party hesitated not to lay two to
one in favor of their birds, the Prince
did the same to a considerable amount,
not in the, least - suspecting that the
whole vas a deep-laid plan to extract a
sum of money from his pockets. The
Prince deputed Mr: Hanger to select 20
of the most wholesome and high-fea
thered birds which could be procured,
and, on the day appointed, he and his
party of turkeys, and Berkley and his
party - of geese, set l 'off to -decide the
match. For the first three hours every
thing seemed to indicate that the tur
keys !could- be the ; winners, as they
were then two mileS in advance of the
geee; but, as- night came on. the tur
keys-began '' ‘ to - stretel oat their necks
toward the branches of - the trees which
lined th - es of the road. Ia vain
the Print - e 7 attempted to urge them on
with his:pole, to which a bit of red
cloth wairattached; in vain Mr. Hanger
dislodied one from its roosting-place
only to see three or four others com
fortably:perching among the branches;
in vain was the barley strewn upon the .
road. In Hit meantime the geese came
waddling on, and in aShort time passed
the turkeys, whose party ware all busy
among the trees attempting to dislodge
the birds, but farthei: progresS was
found impossible, and the geese were
declared the winners.—Life of George
IV.—Percy Fitzgerald.
Tam FARM Hoasa.L-There is no ani
mal on the farm that is so likely to be
neglected as the horse. The horse of
the city trackman, or the expre.ssman,
the driving horse and saddle horse, are
well'eafed for, but the farm horse is too
often irregularly fed, l and, So far as
cleaning - is concerned, regularly and
systematically Neglected. It is dificalt
- to find a hired man brought up on the
farm who thinks tfierejs any necessity
for taking special care of a horse. So me
horses upon the farm are rarely if ever
".properly curried or' rubbed, and yet
the condition and usefulness of the farm
horse depend as much upon the manner .
in which it is cared for as any 4' other
Horse. When brought perspiring to
the stable he ought not to ne, - allowed
to stand'over night with the dust dry
ing upon him. A good cleaning off is
half u rest; and yet how often we see .
the farm horse brought out in the mor
_ nine covered with the dirt of 'the day
before and with the accumulated filth
of the ;light still clinging to bun. Un
der such conditions a horsola not much
more than half a horse. Often, tab, he
is irregularly fed and indiscreetly wat
ered.. A horse at work should have
water five or-. six times a day. If be
does not drink morethan two or three
:quarts at a time all the better. A
,Librse that 'is kept from water till he
drinks two or three pailfuls, will be
very likely to have his digestive organs
•
- and bowels seriously deranged. To
keep a horse in good working condition
he sho rad be fed regularly, whether at
T work or idle in the shible. He will
last many years longer than if, when at
work, he is heavily fed ,and when idle
ileglected. -- A horse on the farm should
always be cleaned at least once a day,
and when hard at work both night and
morning. If not at work a good gritiom
ing once a day , would be sufficient,
and when idle good hay might -be
substituted for gkain.
'TIME FOR • PIAANTniG SQUASH:ES.—
Squashes are of tropical origin, and
therefore when springs opens it is use
less to plant them until the soil is quite
warm and all• danger of frost or cold
nights is over. Again, as they make a
very rapid growth there is no necessity
of taste in getting the sped into the
ground. Squashes - are , good feeders
liking a rich soil. It is best to manure
in hill. In sowing place a dozen seeds
hieach - hill,-and when danger from the
hugs is over pull up all but three or
four. A mellow; warm soil is the best
For hush sorts make hills three or four
feet, apart. and for running kinds twice
that distance. All winter squashes
should be ripened thoroughly or they
are watery, licking s sweetness and rich
ness, also, lacking keeping properties.
Carp CittOw,e.
Von Behr, president of the German
Fisheries Verein, in writing of carp cul
ture Bays :
_"We put the branches of different
trees—evergreens or. others—in , the
penal:4 short time before hatching-be
gins, fixing one end of the branch in
the soil, and leaving it swing in the
pond some six inches below the sur
face. As soon as the carp bee* .to
spawn, they fix the glutinous—adhe
sive eggs in innumerable quantities up
on the branches we had pui in; but
alas I at the sathe time
. Mr. and Mrs.
Carp begin to Vat eagerly their own
eggs. It is only in
. consequence of the
immense quantities of eggs they spawn
that Lthe carp is as plentiful as it is.
But as for your country, which wishes
to get quickly great quantities of young
carp, you could make no better arrange
ment than to take out, after seeing the
branches covered with eggs, either these
branches, transplanting in a tub of
water in order . that the eggs do not get
dry,' and bring them to a neighboring
pond quite empty of other fishes, or
take out, the old carp altogether from
your spdwning pond and leave this
alone to the young ones, which after
awhile will swarm there by many thous
ands and very soon begin to take food
of any kind, say cooked potatoes or
bread; by giving bread constantly my
children got my carp so tame that they
would come and take bread from their
hands. The best way is to have many
ponds for the carp, all of them being
arianged in even a 'way that they can
be made entirely dry. That gives you
the possibility of having the carp di
vided according to their ages, say one,
two, three or tour years:. Atiour years
they will grow in your climate to about
ten ponnds easily. You know that in
rare cases we have carp of thirty or
forty pounds.
"In the ponds which contain- your
carp of two, three and four years you
will do wisely to keep with them a few
male, voracious fishes," as esox (pike),
or similar one& This seams to prevent
their desire to spawn, and therefore as
sists their quick growth. This princi
ple is generally followed wherever we
have large carp culture in Germany,
Austria or Bohemia. Beware of having
other fishes of a similar family in the
same pond with your carp—the cioss
gives very bad fishes, full of I;ones and
of bad taste."
Children's Laughter.
There are no sounds so sweet. to - a
mother's ear, except perhaps- the first
lisping of an infant's prayer. Children's
laughter ! How dull is the home where
in its; music once so joyously echoed,
but is.now heard no more. How still is
the house where the little ones are all
fast asleep, their pattering feet are si
lent. How easily the fun of a child
bubblealorth. Take even' those poor,.
prematurely aged ltttle ones, bred in
the gutter, cramped in unearthly homes,
and ill used, it may be, by drunken
parents, and you will-find that the child
nature' is not entirely crashed out of
them; They are children still, albeit
they look so haggard and wan. Try to
excite their mirthfulness, and ere long a
laugh rings out as wild and free as if
there was no such thing as sorrow • -in
tho world. Let the little ones laugh,
then; too soon, alas l they Fill find
cause enough to weep. Do not try to
silence them, but let their Igleefalness
ring out in gladsome peal,
we,
remind
ing us of the days when we, too,.coald
laugh without a sigh.
To reach a correct result all the con
ditions must be taken in, this Jim did
in the.case below.-
. Two colored individuals out at"La
Grange the other day, had the following
dialogue:
"3:16, sposen dere are six chickens ie
de crop and sposen three of them are
fold, how many is left ?"
"What time ob day was it, den I kin
tell you r
"What's de time ob day got to do
with it ?"
"It's got a heap
. to do wid it; be
kase, sposen it was de night time and
you happened in de neighborhood ob
dat coop, dar would have been - none of
de chickens left." •

Bakersfield, VC. Dec., 23, 1879
B. J. KLNDALL a Co., Dents:—l wish to itdd my
testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment,
"Kendall'aypavin Cure." 'ln the spring of 1862
I slipped og the ice and sprained iny e right limb
at the kneedoint. I was very lame and at times
suffered the most excruciating pain. I wore a
bandage on it for a year, and tried most every
thing in my reach, but could find nothing that
would give me, permanent relief. When I over
worked, it would, pain me very much. In April
IBIS I began to think I should be a cripple for
life; but having some of "Kendall's Spavin Cure"
thought I would' try it. I used ono third of a
bottle, and experienced relief at once, The pain
left me and ints .not tionbla iii - e , since. I feel
very grateful to you and - would recommend
