THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
RURAL BRIEFLETS. 
Mr. V. Griffin says that it would be well 
for those whom we Bend to make our laws to 
have the following sentences written upon 
the tablets of their memory: “The money 
made by farming is the cleanest, best money 
in the world. It fills the pockets of the far¬ 
mer at the expense of no other man. His 
gain is no man’s loss, but the more ho makes 
the better for the world at large. Whatever 
benefits our agriculture benefits the common 
wealth.”...,. 
We would call the attention of our readers 
to the New Rochelle Raspberry for home use. 
We say “for home use” because of its color, 
which seems to have been caused by age or 
incipient decay, being a dull, gray ish purple. 
But the plant is very hardy and extremely 
prolific, while the quality of the fruit is excel¬ 
lent to those who like a tart raspberry, while 
it is always preferred for preserving. Caro¬ 
line has long been our favorite for a yellow, 
and now we add New Rochelle for a purple 
for home use. 
As apples and pears are harvested, keep 
them in a temperature as near freezing as 
possible..... 
To preserve grapes, remove all imperfect 
berries; dry the bunches thoroughly, pack 
them in saw-dust and place them in a tempe¬ 
rature as near 31° Far. as possible—30 w will do 
no harm..... 
Did you ever see the Gloire des Sablous Cur¬ 
rant ? It is veiy pretty'. The berries are 
white striped with red. Is the quality good • 
No; it is very sour. 
The Rural New-Yorker from experi¬ 
ments of its own made six years ago, was the 
first to advise for com: 1st, broadcast manur¬ 
ing; 2d, drilling in the seed; and 3d, flat cul¬ 
tivation. Thousands of farmers hove adopted 
this method since and would not return to the 
old method of manuring in the hill and hilling 
up. Let our readers consider that the roots of 
the corn plant when two feet high extend 
from drill to drill or from hill to hill. It is 
then and afterwards that they most food. 
Again in lulling up wo do but rob the feeding 
roots of food and protection to throw' soil 
about the stems w here it is not needed for any 
purpose whatever... ... 
Pres. McCann seeded in October last with 
half a dozen kinds of grass seeds sown upon 
wheat. The seeding was so successful that it 
crowded the w heat. Mr. G. \A . Hoffman is of 
uje opinion that nothing is more absurd than 
that grass-seeding must have the protection of 
a grain crop to insure success, ltis very often 
found that where wheat is entirely lost there 
is the best grass. The grain robs the grass or 
the grass robs the wheat. It is a fact, how¬ 
ever, that broadcast or drill-seeding of wheat 
stands the Winter better than when single 
grains are planted a foot apart each way and 
the soil between cultivated,.
