STRAINING TIIE TRELLIS WIRE. 
H. N. Lang worthy —I wish to call atten¬ 
tion to the mode of tightening the trellis wire 
recommended in the President’s Address. It 
seems to me complex. T strain mine with a 
crowbar. I wind the wire around the crowbar 
at some distance from its end, make the post 
the fulcrum and strain it tight enough, easily, 
while another man fastens the wire to each post 
with staples, driven in so as divide the strain. 
Seeley —I use a windlass, or horizontal, 
movable capstan, very simple and roughly 
made, around which I wind the wire, and fasten 
with staples as Mr. L. has just described. It is 
efficient.

large margin left for profit. An acre of good 
Catawba grapes with us is worth to us, annually,

We must take heed to the example of cultivators 
in the Old World where they have had so much 
experience. We cannot altogether Ignore it. 
And yet it is true that the Yankee grape needs 
Yankee treatment. Our vines need more room 
than are given to vines In Europe. The proper 
way to prune is so that you can till a trellis with 
new wood and fruit. No rule can be given. A 
man must use Judgment. The object of the vine

Diana, Concord, Isabella, and Rebecca, Have 
never laid down any of those grapes, except 
Diana, and have never failed to have a crop,

Baker, of Hammomlsport— It is important 
that we should neither propagate,grow, sell nor 
show worthless varieties of grapes. The Ca¬ 
tawba is our second best grape, but cannot bo 
generally cultivated. Neither can the Isabella; 
it Is one of tho finest grapes when ripened. It 
makes nearly as good wine as the Catawba, and 
a better brandy. The grape to recommend for 
general cultivation is the Delaware. It is 
sweeter, and shows higher on a must scale than 
any other grape ivu grow. And that is what 
we want. It is not difficult to get add. What 
wo want Is to get sugar in the grape. 1 think 
the Hartford Prolific a better grape for all pur¬ 
poses than the Concord. The Concord will not
