Okfictat, Organ of Fannlv Co s Organ of Oir-JiKR Cos Official Organ of Pickens Cos Srape Growing, Rome Weekly Courier, f Whilst, there seems to bear growing interest manifested in t'he cnftination of the grape, a few hints would perhaps li-e of in ferest. I think lam safe in say ing that in ninety-nine times out of a hundred, failure is attributa ble to oyer cropping the vine.and this often occurs when the vine Srst comes into bearing at three ov four years. At this age (in consequence of not haring been burdened with the task of maim ing Iruit) the vine will contain more young wood and fruit bods in proportion to the strength of root than at any time thereafter. Whilst there would be no injury n under cropping, there is great danger in over cropping, result ing in paralizing the strength of the vine and greatly detracting from the future usefulness. The past season was wonder!nlly fa vorable in maturing the grape. Whilst this was true, [ saw many vines so completely overloaded that they reached the stage of half ripe and stopped, and in that condition they will hang for weeks and seem to get no riuer. In this case ’.he powers of inutur- ation on the part of the Tine hail failed, like lira team of horses that pulled the load half way up the hill and slopped because they could so no further Now, when this is the case, it is certain that the vine will t>e out of order for a good crop the next year follow ing. The first effort upon the part of the vine is to mature the crop, and if it is insufficient to do that, it is evident that it will not make sufficient preparation for the next year’s crop in formation of young wood and fruit buds. If the vine from the beginning is not overcropped an additional crop, m proportion to increased strength of vine, may he contin ued from year to year throughout the existence of the same, and be no less periect than in the out set. If the vine is properly man aged throughout, there is no rea son that it should not produce regular crops throughout its ex istence. Professor Hore, who demon strates the greatest familiarity of any author whom i have yet con suited, gives the relative strength of the malurative powers of the vine founded upon a series of experiments. Tlt e largest amount of fruit possible to be produced upon the vine and at the same time detract nothing from the next crop, or in other words, the necessary vigor to in sure regular crops, is in no way impaired. Take a tape line and measure the stem of the vine at the ground, and if three inches in circumference prune for five pounds, and for every half inch an additional five non mis more According to this rule, when the vine reaches ten inches in cir cumference, it will produce sev enty pounds. Now this may be I'proximated by counting the eyes on the well developed young wood left after pruning, allowing that each such eve wiil produce three bunches 'the weiglit >| Course will vary according to va rieties). Count one pound for each eye, ommitting the one next to old wood, and it this should seem to everrun the amount in the spring when the grapes set, take off some of the smallest bunches. This necessitates such close pruning that no one hardly has the nerve to do it. This rule, if tested in different climates, liiignt be found to vary, and dif \<*il'o'ueS/would no o©ui>t > - 'V Hl'i’EiiJiAD. Mr. Clements on Education. [ Washington Correspondent of Gomtitu tion.} “Wliat is the nature o( the bill to increase the educational fluid you have just introduced?” ask ed lof Mr. Judson C. Clements, ,of the seventh. “Well, it is about the same in its general provisions as the bill offered by Mr. Goode, of Virgi nia, in the last congress. It pro poses to apply the proceeds ot the sale of public lands to the educational fund. There are millions of dollars worth of these lands sold every year, l’he mon ey is poured into the general treasury. I believe it ought to be set apart for educational pur poses. With the present surplus in the treasury it is not needed there, and tome it seems pecu liarly appropriate that the money coming from the sale of the com mon property should go to the education of the masses. I don’t see any better use to which we could put it.” “Do you propose to give all this Mind to educational pur poses “The bill provides that for the fifst five years all of it shall be so applied, liie apportionment to be made between the states on the basis of illiteracy. The next five years one-half the proceeds from lands are to be used, and the other half invested in bonds and the interest only used for education. Then, after ten years all the money coming from the sale of public land is to be invest ed :n bonds for the benefit of a general school fund.” “How much would Georgia gel for the first fixe years?’’ “1 should say about a million a year. You can imagine what a revolution that would work in our system of public education, now necessarily so imperfect. I believe that the benefits of this bill would soon ulace the school systems of Georgia and other southern states where they could easily be maintained by the stales in a perfection they can never reach with their present meager resources.” “What are the chances of your Dill ?” “I believe they are good. The members with whom 1 have talk ed seemed to be favorable to it. “For two or three years past there has been a strong element in congress favoring some such legislation. I hope it has now grown strong enough to carry this measure through. It seems that it ougiit to appeal to every rep resentative ?” “How do tlie southern repre sentatives ganerally regard it?’' “I believe they are nearly, if not quite, solid in support of the policy embodied in the bill. It lias strong friends north, south, east and west. Renew Your Lease, There are times in every one’B life when energy fails and a miserable feelings comes over them, mistaken for laziness.

[Philadelphia Dispatch to the Enquirer.] A Washington dispatch having staged that Mr. Scoville, Gui leau’s brother-inlaw, had re ceived a letter from a friend in Pniladelplua engaged in the nianuiaci ure el relngeralois and cooling apaiatus, proposing to preserve tiie assassin’s body im mediately alter hanging, and place it on exhibition in this country and Europe, half the pro ceeds to be paid to Guiteau’s rel atives, a reporter of the Press to day hunted up the enterprising manulacturer of refrigerators.
