America Grape.—X received from Mr. Mnnson. 
In place of the Carman grape, a variety named 
America. Wbat Is a description of It ? I don't know 
whether it is red, white or bine. Also what Is the 
best way to train grape vines like the Delaware and 
similar varieties t. d. h. 
Norwalk, O. 
A\s- Mr. Mnnson describes America as a seedling 
of Jaegers No. 70; growth very vigorous; hardy; 
fruit, both berry and cluster, large; cluster conical, 
shouldered; berry black; seeds small, three to five 
in number; e&in thin; pulp melting; flavor very 
good; productiveness great. The cuttlngB root easily. 
It Is recommended for both the North and the South, 
but especially for the latter. Probably the best way 
to train the Delaware and other small-growing varie¬ 
ties is to stakes, keeping them well cut back. This is 
practiced by many vineyardists. 
Fowls Dying.—O ur chickens mope around a few 
days and then die. Their combs turn pale before 
they do so. Some have died on their nests where 
they went to lay; some have fallen dead off of their 
roasts. Out of a flock of 25 we have never found 
more than three dead at a time. They continued to 
die this way all summer; sometimes none died for a 
week or two. They are fat and have a free range in 
the day time and are shut up at night. They have 
been fed corn or rye whole once a day. What ailed 
them ? H. S. j 
ANS.—From what Is given we should guess that the 
disease might be apoplexy, which is caused by over¬ 
feeding. Still it seems that they ought not to be 
troubled with this, having free range. Aconite is 
recommended for this. Feed them more lightly, and 
on a more varied diet, with less corn. 
Fowls Feasting on Feathers.—W hat will stop 
feather eating among fowls ? a. w. D. 
ANS.—Give them occupation. Did you ever hear 
of this trouble among fowls running at large ? It is 
Induced by idleness, and we know of noway to stop 
it except to give plenty of exercise. It is merely 
a habit, and, like many other bad habits, is more 
easily acquired than broken. 
Celery Plants.—W here can I secure celery 
plants ? M D. o.

astota, N. Y.

FRUITS—GREEN. 
Does not the law as passed give “ martial ” powers 
to a Commissioner of Agriculture who is only a poli¬ 
tician? As I read the law, we as farmers are likely 
to be bled by some overefflclent veterinarian or 
agent. I would like to see all waste feeds such as 
barley grains, starch feeds and distillers' wastes for¬ 
bidden; but I take this law to be enforced on farms 
and in some way avoided by those who have the 
right influence, as is now the case with milk. The 
farmer must furnish pure milk to the dealer, but the 
latter will rob it of one-eighth of its cream and mtx 
it so that it is considered by the New York Board of 
Health better than when the farmer sold it. f. q. 
Ans.—T his is a law creating a department of the 
State government known as the Department of Agri¬ 
culture. Its title is the Agricultural Law. The de¬ 
partment Is charged with the execution of the laws 
relating to agriculture and agricultural products. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture Is the title of its 
official head. He is appointed bv the Governor, with 
the concurrence of the Senate, for three years, at an 
annual salary of $4,000 and expenses not to exceed 
$500 incurred in the discharge of his official duties. 
He has power to appoint a director of farmers’ Insti¬ 
tutes, and to employ such assistants in the discharge 
of his duties as he may deem necessary, “ who shall 
receive such compensation as may be fixed by him, 
and their necessary expenses.” Pretty good politi¬ 
cal pie there, eh? lie or his assistants have access 
to all places where food products are made, trans¬ 
ported. or sold; or may open any package containing 
such products. He may appoint not more than five 
expert butter and cheese makers to examine and 
Inspect butter and cheese factories, and attend agri¬ 
cultural meetings for the purpose of Imparting 
instruction as to the best and most improved methods 
of making butter and cheese. As used in this act, 
the terms butter and cheese are defined to mean 
" the products of the dairy, usually known by those 
terms, which are manufactured exclusively from 
pure, unadulterated milk or cream or both, with or 
without salt or rennet, and with or without coloring 
matter or sage.” The term adulterated milk means; 
1. Milk containing more than 88 percentum of water 
or fluids. 
2. Milk containing less than 12 percentum of milk 
solids. 
3. Milk containing less than three percentum of 
fats. 
4. Milk drawn from cows within 15 days before and 
live days after partuilllon. 
5. Milk drawn from animals fed on distillery waste 
Or any substance in a state of fermentation or put¬ 
refaction or on anv. unhealthy food. 
6 . Milk drawn from cows kept in a crowded or 
unhealthy condition. 
7. Milk from which any part of the cream has been 
removed. 
8 . Milk which has been diluted with water or any 
other fluid, or to which has oeen added or into which 
has been introduced any foreign substance whatever. 
The law forbids the production or sale of milk or 
milk products under any of these conditions. We 
don’t see how any of the feeds like dried brewers’ 
grains, starch feeds, etc., can be classed under the 
feeds prohibited by this law so long as they are 
sweet. If fermented, they undoubtedly would be. 
We think, however, that this law confers autocratic 
powers upon an officer who is nothing but a politic¬ 
ian, as witness the first appointee and present 
incumbent, and who Isn’t likely to forget his friends. 
This law is likely to be much like other laws ostens¬ 
ibly for the benefit of the farmers, of little benefit 
to them, but of great advantage to the seekers after 
political pap. If its provisions were enforced impar¬ 
tially and without favor, no fair-minded man could 
object, but past experience doesn’t lead us to expect 
anything of the kind. But we shall see what we 
shall see. The law also aoplles to various other pro¬ 
ducts and Interests, but it is too long even for a full 
synopsis. All interested should send to the Secretary 
of State, Albany, N. Y., for a copy.
