following rear. Ir is a well established fact and 
both with plants and animals, that in a higher lati¬ 
tude nature clothes them with a thicker protection 
than she does in a warmer climate, hence the advan¬ 
tage of a northern exposure has some claims and Is 
worthy of further investigation. 
2. Soil.—In regard to the most suitable soil for the 
grape is a truestlon that can only ho settled by ex¬ 
periment'. each variety requires a soli that can sup¬ 
ply those elements necessary for Its healthy develop¬ 
ment. The " Hartford Prolific " and Catawba are the 
best suited and give their best results on u soil in¬ 
clined to a .<m , t:mt the Concord Is on© "f 
those strong, rampaut growers, and will generally 
take core of Itself and succeed on any soil that will 
grow corn well. 
tscusstotts 
from the middle of February until the middle 
of March. At nil other times keep them entirely 
separate. The young ttiiuk make their appear¬ 
ance about the first Of May. When wild in the 
woods they will seldom vary five days from this 
time; but when kept in confinement there is 
greater variation. About thisseason they should 
have plenty of fine hay, which they will carry 
into their boxes to make nests. A box three or 
four feet long and eighteen inches 
wide is the shape they prefer; it 
should be placed as far as possible 
from the water, to prevent the mlnlc 
j from carrying water and mud into 
^ it. The young mink when first born 
SJ|\ aro small and delicate, destituto of 
any kind of fur, and much resem¬ 
bling young rats. If the old mink is 
tamo, the young ones may be taken 
out of the nest and handled when 
they are three weeks old. They will 
>jjEr^ 800,1 * cam t0 milk, and may bo 
fed every day. At five weeks old 
they may be taken from the mother 
P and put into a pen by themselves, 
when they will soon bccomo very 
playful and pretty, and make much 
better mothers than they would if 
allowed to run with the old ones. 
Mr. Stratton writes:— ” Were f 
to engage, in the mink business again, 
the shelter should be in (he shape of 
, a long box, five or six feet wide and 
eg, < ^ three or four feet high. set. upon 
legs, and with a good Uoor and roof.

six feet long (or longer would be 
b9tter,) the front of each apartment 
to bo furnished with a swtuging- 
door of strong wirescreeu, with the 
hinges at. the top, and a button or 
some kind of fastener at the bot¬ 
tom. A trough, six Indus square, 
made by nailing three boards to¬

verize the soil, from twelve to fifteen inches in depth, 
would not suit either thu advocates for shallow 
plowing or deep tillage; yet Much a preparation would 
doubtless produce tho best results on a vineyard, ADO 
it can lie dune very cheaply by using a large mold-

A Food Good Enough for the Gods — BEVERLY 
Brooks Ypsilunti, Mich., says is made by set¬ 
ting now milk boiling smartly, and while boiling 
thicken JL with Graham flour, and enl with sirup 
or milk. Tne Professor of Early Rising said it 
was good but not new, for his mother fed Idtn 
on it. tifly-si.x years ago. 
Felons may bo cured, Beverly Brooks writes, 
by dipping them in very warm spirits of tur¬ 
pentine three or four times. 
A Rone .Mill Wanted. B. F. Duncan, Newport, 
Dei., wants u mill, to be run by a ton oj* twenty 
horse power, that will grind raw bones. Asks 
where it may be found. No one could answer, j 
The White Grub.— E. G. Sr one, Wabash, Ind., 
writes --“There is a kind of grub that is alarge 
white worm with a brown head, that has de¬ 
stroyed some fields of corn this year and done 
some Injury to meadows, but more especially to 
tho blue grass sod. I can take hold of the grass 
along i ho railroad and strip It off just as easily 
as one cau remove a carpet from a floor. What 
will become of (item? Will I hey do any harm 
next season?" The New Jersey Entomologist 
said they would not he likely to do harm next 
season, because the past was the last of their 
work. Thu two first, years of their life they lie 
low in the ground ; the third they rise to near 
the surface aud feed as described, and change 
into beetles. 
Plastic Slate Hoofing.—W. Mkykus, Richmond, 
Va., writes that, ho has tried the Plastio Slate 
Roofing, and found it to bo a lying cheat and 
swindle. 
Are Farmer# Lazy ?-G?o. N. Nichols, Lock- 
port, N. Y„ writes tho Club criticising the asser¬ 
tion of one of its members that “ farmers arc- 
lazy enough any way.” The criticised member 
reiterated his assertion, and asked what class of 
men were not.? He did not know any class of 
men, farmers, merchants, bankers, &o., ice., who 
were not. lazy enough. Aud he asserted that 
fifty pur cent, of farmers arc lazy; they neither 
get up early in the morning nor plow deep; nor 
are they successful. Rut he did not assert that 
there were more indolent men among them than 
among other classes. 
Deep vs. Shallow Plowing,—The Champion of 
Shallow Plowing exhibited corn roots which lie 
had carefully washed out of the soil, to show 
that they laid within two inches of the surface; 
and lie asked the appointment of a eommittoo 
to investigate this matter as to the relative 
depth the roots of plants run. An advocate of 
deep plowing responded that if the gentleman 
supposed that men advocate deep plowing for 
the purpose of Inducing roots to go down lie 
was mistaken. Roots only go down when the 
ground is plowed so shallow aud the texture of 
tho soil is such that they cannot get moisture 
and nutrition without. Deep plowing secures 
to the plants this condition at the surface. The 
committee was not appointed. 
Shipping Apples.—E. Hill, Clio, Mich., asks 
whether apples should he shipped long distances 
in tight or ventilated barrels. Shippers of ex¬ 
perience replied that the fruit, after it is put in 
barrels dry should be allowed to sweat before 
heading; aud, after heading, holes should he 
bored in the heads and sides for ventilation. 
Concord Grape Culture.—A lexander Palmer, 
-Modena. N. Y., read a paper upon this subject. 
The essential and practical part is as follows: 
1. Exjinsure. — It has been the practice in every 
country amt in all ages <>f the world, and is now gen¬ 
erally admitted, dial a South, astern exposure is tlie 
most favorable condition fur tiicfuil development of 
the grape. For tlio moist and uniform temperature 
of Europe, as well as the south Western portion of 
our continent, this exposure might possibly bo the 
best one to adopt, hut xttr the Northern and Middle 
Hiatus, according to my observation and experience, 
an exposure rather inclining to the northwest sup¬ 
plies, thnt uniform temperature Unit ik so essential 
tv a health}' growth of the vine. A vino planted in a 
Ot her, so that tho water cart be drawn off. 
this arrangement the water can bo turned in at 
one end of tho trough and be drawn off and 
changed as often aa deslrod. Tho lower end of 
tho trough should be a Utile deeper than the 
oilier, to prevent the water from running over. 
Hindi apartmOld is furnished with a box three 
foot long aud eighteen inches wide. On one side 
of the box and near one end is made a round 
hole, two and one-half inches in diameter, and 
provided with a sibling cover, so that by means 
of a stick It can be opened or closed from the 
outside. This is so the mink can be shut up 
whOU the pen Is being cleaned out. On the top 
of the box and at tho other end should bo a door 
large enough to put In bay for the nest and take 
out the young.”

5. I’nmino cwul TrlmmtUn.— Th© method of pruning 
the vine for the. first and second year depends some¬ 
what on tho ays tom ot training to be adopted In fu¬ 
ture, Oou strong cane t he first year cut back In tho 
fall ti- t wo or three feet, thu two upper tiuda of this 
earn) to fns used the second year to grow the main 
arms, which, for the Fuller system, require to be left 
about (tyafont long, and for the long arm, or ” fun 
system,” the ounns must lie left about seven feet, 
long. The trellis to ho put up the third your for the 
hitter system requires only uvo wires -one to lie 
placed thru© and one-half feet from the ground, and 
the utiioi si , and one-half feet, from the ground. 
Tills system of training Is a very simple one, and is 
considered by many good grape growers to produce 
this best results, but the horizontal arm. of “ Fuller 
system." in decidedly tne most neat and systematic, 
modent training the grape ; and 1 would very much 
prefer this system, hut with one objection, and that 
Ipruning back the renewal* to two or three huds. 
Bv this we often cutoff tho chances for a crop tho 
following year, Cor It I* very well known that, the 
lower ttutls oil a strong cane are seldom full v devel¬ 
oped, and that the best fruit buds are found at a dis¬ 
tance further from tho main arm. 
To Insure regular crops we should aim to grow 
strong canes with well-<love)opnd fruit buds, and no 
matter what system we adopt In pruning, these bnda 
should lit) preserved : and in doing Mils there 1* dan¬ 
ger of leaving' too much hearing wood, which can be 
regulated at. Mi a first disbudding tlie following spring, 
which should lie done as early as the buds have 
grown almut. two Inches long. by rubbing off all, es¬ 
pecially the naked ones that arc not required for tile 
crop. I£ tills early diKlnicUlhiu 18 properly done, then 
all ihe summer pruning required for the Concord Is 
a slight, thinning and regulating about the latter parr, 
of July. 
The Concord requires about eight l-nidatn ho left on 
each arm, making sixteen huds: and three rhistorn 
each, making forty .eight clusters, averaging about 
twelve pounds tel the vine, at lour hundred vines to 
the acre, making a total yield of 4.800 pounds of fruit.. 
Mils, at fifteen cents per pound, amounts to $72b. 
This estimate, 1 think !* rather higher than the gen¬ 
eral average of vineyards . yet, considering tho toot 
that wheat, com and gruas—uur staple crops --often 
fail from natural causes, I am well satisfied that a 
Luncord grape vineyard, favorably located autl well 
managed, Is tho most certain and profitable crop we 
cau grow. 
Several members endorsed Mr- Palmer’s 
theory aud opinion as to the best exposure for a 
vineyard. 
Club-Root Cabbage.—J. Bartrop, Hunter’s 
Point, L. I., asks the Club theeuu.se of club-root 
cabbage. Mr. Quinn of New Jersey exhibited 
specimens of cabbage afflicted with club-mot, 
and offered to give any person $100 for a recipe 
whereby lie may grow cabbage, with good cul¬ 
ture, upon his soil two years in succession, with¬ 
out the crop being affected the second year by 
club-root. He lias no difficulty in growiogerops 
the first mid third years, but fails to do so the 
second. Has tried shell lime as a preventive 
without success. 
Norway Outs,—Testimony, favorable and 
otherwise, was given concerning the crop this 
year- 
Children's Cribs.—Mrs. A. R. Swash, per her 
daughter Sally, announced to the Club that 
she had entered the field of invention, and had 
invented an Improvement to an article which is 
or should bo used by nearly every woman—a 
child’s crib. She asked the sympathy and en¬ 
couragement of the Club, announcing, if it 
is given hev, she proposes to organize a school to 
I teach women how to become good wives, moth¬ 
ers and housekeepers. The radiant face of the 
Commander of the Club beamed with sympa¬ 
thetic admiration of so noble and enterprising a 
woman. He did not assert his admiration in 
words, however, as he ought to have done. 
Rearing mid Breeding Minkx.— J,. STRATTON, 
Crossville, Tenn., writes to a learned member of 
the Club that ho has spent time and money 
studying the habits Of these animals, and the 
practicability of rearing them in confinement, 
and has concluded that it is impossible to rear 
them successfully where large numbers arc kept 
constantly together. The females at certain 
times will fight and kill their own and each 
other's offspring. After a few generations it is 
possible that their wild nature may, in a meas¬ 
ure, be bred out. Still, at rhe beginning, they 
may, with proper treatment and very careful 
handling, be made to spare their young, even if 
Several are kept together, provided t he enclosure 
be a large one, and have suitable accommoda-

A. J. STKVI'INH, Land Agent, Columbus. Neb, 
We have no plat of ground especially 
devoted to flowers, only a few annuals bor¬ 
dering (ho path that leads to the garden. 
We have a few balsams, one of which is 
quite a giant, measuring thirteen inches in 
height, and four and three-fourths inches at 
the root. It has ton branches from the main 
stalk, and seven more springing from the 
first, forming a top similar to a cherry tree. 
The center stalk and first branches have been 
laden with blossoms, all double, and some 
of them more than double, one now meas¬ 
ures four and one-half inches in diameter. 
A few days since we counted one hundred 
and thirty blossoms, forming a perfect mass 
of a brilliiant. crimson bloom. What makes 
this still more remarkable is that it has 
many seed buds, and bids fair to bo crowded 
with fresh bloom in a few days. A few 
inches of the top of the main stalk appears 
double, and lias divided an inch and a half 
below the crown or upper leaves, which 
appear as if separating into many parts, and 
is filled closely with blossom huds. This 
plant sprung from seed raised by myself last 
year; from a plant given me by a friend, 
who procured her seed from Mr. Vick of 
Rochester.

how to propagate the Hydrangea?

Red Creek, N. Y., 1 Hi ill, 
Trouble with Fuchsias.—Can you tell me what 
is the matter with my fuchsias? The leaves aro 
dropping off; have the appearance of withered 
loaves. They are in the house over night but are 
out all day. Some time ago I changed the crocks 
they were in for larger ones, and they grew bet¬ 
ter for awhile, but have gone back to their old 
tricks.—M. E. u. 
We suspect it may be the Blue Aphis at work 
at the roots, We have lost fuchsias from t his 
cause. The only effectual remedy is frequent 
and copious applications of tobacco water, 
drenching the earth in the pots well therewith. 
Make it strong enough to color the water well. 
It will do no harm, and may save the plants.
