CALENDAR OF OPERATIONS 
JANUARY. 
OUT-DOOR CULTURE, 
Iv our northern, ice-bound regions very little can be 
done in this month, further than preparing for the future. 
We may, however, take notice of all that will be re 
painting and cleaning trellises, collecting and preparing 
stakes, and other matters of like character, which would 
interfere with time when we can ill spare it. In the 
South, the instructions for February and March will be 
suitable at this time. And here we may state, that a 
similar difference will apply, until about ripening-time, 
for the rame latitudes. 
COLD GRAPERY. 
Keep the house cool and open with bright sunshine, 
but close at night, and likewise in the day-time when the 
weather is seysre and cloudy. Examine occasionally for 
tats and mice, as they sometimes do much mischief by 
ing the vines. It is well to rub a little arsenic be 
tween slices of bread, cheese, or beef, and lay them close 
to the base of the plants. underneath the covering.
