Manure and Grape Rot.
Mr. W. C. Steele, of Switzerland, Fla., in
Mb interesting communication to the Florida
Dispatch, says that heavy manuring is very
commonly, but very unjustly, believed to
Iks n prolific cause of grape rot. Seventeen
years r:f experience in grape growing aud
observation of others’ vineyards convinces
him that fertilizing has anything to do with
the rot. At a time in Northern Indiana
when vineyards were being abandoned on
aocount of the ravages of this disease, those
Which had not received an ounce of fertilizer
of any kind for years, suffered quite as se
verely ns those which had received heavy
applications of slaughter-house manure. The
feport of the Department of Agriculture on
Fungus Diseases of the Grape does not charge
that the true rot, the “black rot,” is due to
over-fertilizing, but rather to warm, wet
weather, and it is stated that its ravages are
entirely stopped by a prolonged drouth.
Bagging the bunches before the berries are
half grown is found to be an almost certain
specific for this disease. By the way, grape
growers are becoming more and more unani
mous in the opinion that bagging grapes
pays.
Heavy manuring with fresh stable manure
is said to have a tendency to increase one
form of grape mildew, this mildew destroys
the fruit, though not a true rot. But so far
as I know, no one recommends the use of
fresh stable manure in large quantities. It
should never be used, in the vineyard or
garden, until thoroughly decomposed. It is
doubtful if any quantity of bone meal and
potash, which could be used safely, that is
without endaugerlng the life of the vines,
would injure the crop of fruit. The exces
sive use of cotton seed meal or anything
containing a large percentage of ammonia
is not to be recommended on fruiting vines.
A reasonable quantity of ammoniated fer
tilizers is needed to maintain a vigorous
growth while bearing large crops of fruit.
Summer pruning is objectionable, espe
cially in a hot climate. By all means thin
out the hunches and do not allow the vines
to overbear. If the grapes are bagged they
do not need the shade of the leaves so much
as those that are not thus protected, but the
vines are not likely to have too many leaves
for health, and if the sun can bo kept from
shining upon the bags so much the better.
Lime aud sulphate of copper has been
found, when syringed over grapes, a perfect
cure for mildew. The solution is thus pre
pared: From thirty to fifty pounds of lime
and sulphate; each is dissolved in a barrel
containing about one hundred gallons of
water. The operator dips a small heath
broom in the liquid and walking backwards
sprinkles the vines. About fourteen quarts
to one thousand vines, the expense being a
little over $5 an acre.
About Weeds.
A word about weeds may not be without
interest at this season of the year. No one,
says the New York Star, can afford, after
having prepared his laud and made it rich
with valuable manures, to then neglect it to
such an extent as to allow the worthless
weeds to get possession, or even to appro
priate to their own support any considerable
part of the outlay which has thus been
made. It should at all times be borne in
mind that whatever the weeds are allowed
to appropriate to their own use may jfist as
well be directed to the production of desira
ble plants instead. We know from experi
ence that it is a very easy matter to talk
about the destruction of weeds. But there
are times when the weather will not admit
of their being so easily destroyed—the
ground too wet to work, or if stirred the
weeds will not be killed; and there are
times, too, when other matters are waiting
to be attended to as well ns the weeds. Yet
the rule of action must be cleau culture, and
it must be lived up to or to a certainty the
weeds will get ahead. ‘‘Early aud often”
should be the watchword from the start. It
is far less work to kill the weeds while they
are just starting to grow than to wait until
they have become well rooted. In the corn
fleld this work can nearly all be done with
horse power, although the hand hoe may be
profitably used occasionally in cleaning out
the hills. But the horse and cultivator or
double shovel must be relied on principally
to do the work. With the rows straight
and equi-distant both ways—as they always
should be—the cultivator or double shovel
can be adjusted as to run close up to the
young plants, with no danger of covering
any of them up. It is vastly cheaper and
more expeditious to do the work in this way
than with hoes. Nor need the cultivation
he very deep if the land was properly pre
pared, surface working being now what is
moetly wanted, and killing the weeds the
principal object, the time for deep working
before the corn was planted. The cultivator
or double shovel should be kept running,
however, until the corn is large enough to
shade the ground, when there need be no
further fear of the weeds.
Effect of Clover on Soil.,
One of tho most remarkable studies in
practical farming, says a well-known agri
cultural writer, is the wonderful recupera
tive and restorativooffects of clover on land.
This effect can hardly be exaggerated. It
is a mystery to many farmers how a crop
grown on a soil can impart to it more than
it takes from it. Perhaps it will help them
to understand this to remind them but a
small portion of the plant comes from tho
soil. In a ton of dry clover buy chemists
toll us there are but from 10b to 104 pounds
of organic matter (by which they mean that
which conies from the soil), and all the re
mainder is inorganic or matter that line
come from the atmosphere. Another fact
which helps explain how green manuring
helps the soil is that in most soils there is
enough plant food to grow hundreds of crops
(and often thousands), and much of this is
in a condition in which it is not readily
available for the plant. One of our best,
modem writers on agricultural chemistry
says: “So great is the wealth of fertility
stored ip the soil that if the nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potash contained in the
upper twelve inches of. a good soil were \ al
lied at the prices charged for them in our
commercial fertilizers, a farm of 100 acres
would be worth about half a million dol
lars.”
This must be constantly borne in mind:
The question we are aliout to solve in culti;
vating our farms is not when will the soil
become perfectly exhausted? but how can
we manage it to get profitable crojis at the
least expense now? Prof. Roberts, of the
New York Experiment Station, found that
a field of clover which yielded 3,'-JWS pounds
of eui-ed hay had 4,503 pounds of dried
roots, or nearly 1,600 pounds more of roots
thau of top.
Covering Seed.
A writer in our Our Country Home,
writing about the advantages of covering
seed, says: My plan is to always cover seed
of all kinds, whether large or small; of
course very fine seed needs only a light <*ov
ering, and the soil should be very fine, yet I
always considered that I secured better
plants by marking out a shallow furrow and
sowing the see*! iu it and then covering
lightly. Coarse, heavy seed need and re
quire deeper covering than fine, light seed.
While no rule can be given that under all
circumstances and conditions may be con
sidered the best, yet generally you can be
safe if you will regulate the depth of plant
ing and covering by the size of the seed.
For fine seed like celery a shallow' mark is
made and the seed sprinkled in it as evenly
as possible, and then the soil sprinkled over
the seed and lightly pressed Mown. When
seed are planted very near the surface, as a
rule, the surest' plan to secure a good ger
mination is to press the soil down upon the
seed after covering, and especially if the soil
is warm and inclined to dry out. A certain
degree of moisture and contact with the soil
is essential to secure a good germination,
and I find that these conditions cun be best
secured by taking pains to cover lightly .
Generally early planted seeds should bo cov
ered lighter than if the same seeds were
planted three or four weeks later, after the
soil becomes warmer and often dryer; heat
is almost as essential as moisture —that is, to
a certain extent, and if planted too deep
when the soil is wet and cold they will either
lie there until the soil is sufficiently warm
to induce germination or they will rot. I
never could see any good economy in having
the seed lie in the ground under unfavora
ble conditions and failing to germinate, even
though they do finally. 1 never considered
that the plants were as vigorous as if an
earlier germination had been secured. For
this reason I find it the safest and best to
make all the conditions as favorable for ger
mination as possible.
Rust on Pears.
The rust on pears always shows itself early
in the season. It first appears as small
brownish spots and these gradually enlarge,
and if numerous may nearly cover the sur
face of the fruit. The rust sometimes reaches
its maturity and partially or wholly dies be
fore the fruit is fully grown; in such cases
it is cast off, the spot becomes more or less
perfectly healed and the appearance known
as “scab” is the result. In either case the
fruit is injured iu market value, and if the
attack is severe is rendered almost worth
less. The cause of the injury is a, fungus,
Fusicladium pyrinum, which grows just
beneath the skin and pushes its fruiting
threads out into the air, producing myriads
of spores for its further propagation. The
rust on the leaves of the pear is due to the
same fungus, and to keep it from the fruit,
therefore, will necessitate keeping the foliage
free also.
The only preventive or remedy that seems
feasible and economical is some application
to the young leaves and fruit that will pre
vent the fungus from getting a foothold.
The fungicide in solution should be sprayed
upon the trees several times from the burst
ing of the bud* until June, especially just
after rains. What is best to use yet remains
to be determined. Mr. Goff, of the New
York Experirrifcnt Station, found much
benefit from hyposulphite of soda at the
rate of one pound to ten gallons qf water.
Sulphide of potassa will, no doubt, also
prove valuable. If the trees are sprayed
with Paris green the fungicide may be added
and applied at the same time.
A Bath for Fowls.
Fowls are greatly troubled with lice and
many poultry raisers furnish a dust bath for
them, as it helps them to get rid of the pests.
The best bath for fowls, however, and one
which they should have free access to, is an
ash bath. It far excels the dust bath, al
though the dust bath is used by nearly all
successful poulterers. Take an old dish pan,
or some vessel that is wide and shallow, fill
it with dry, fresh wood ashi>s, and the chicks
will be in before you can get out of the poul
try house. We have seen this used and have
never found lice where it is used constantly.
The ashes get mixed through the feathers
and the lieo cannot long flourish in this con
dition. The old way was to keep the ducks,
hens, turkeys, geese and guineas together,
when battles and combats were the result,
the best quarters being an A-shapeil log
house, but at the present dqy we separate
them and treat them as so much stock on
the farm, from which a certain amount of
profit is expected, and the better the treat
ment the larger the profit.
Poultry houses should be whitewashed,
inside and out, two or three times a year.
Into the whitewash for the inside of the
house put a little glue or a teacup of soft
boiled rice to a pail of whitewash, and also
add ten or twenty drops of crude carbolic
acid as a safeguard against vermin.
An Early Peach.
Mr. James T. DePass, in a letter to the
Florida Dispatch, speaks rather enthusias
tically of anew peach which he has and
which ripens in the latter part of May. He
says that it is unlike either the Peen-to or
the Honey peach. This is his description of
it: Appearance, good; size, medium; shape,
oblong; both ends somewhat flattened;
color, dull red with occasional tinges of pule
yellow; freestone; flesh, whitish green with
flashes of red, coarse grained, fibrous, ten
der and melting; sweet and rich; quality,
good. The fruit had strong peach aroma
wanting in the Peen-to and Honey, and bore
no resemblance to either of these types.
Although Mr. De Pass does not mention the
name, it is evidently, says the Dispatch, a
Freestone Indian Blood. It is better quality
than is usual with this class, and if it prove
as early every year, and adapted to this
State it w ill be a decided acquisition.

Farm Notes.
Currycomb and brush well applied are the
best medicines to aid horses and cattle while
they are shedding their coats.
It is said that the milk of cows that are
salted regularly churns much more easily
than the milk of cows not salted.
Intelligent and wide-awake farmers are
more and more considering the importance
of level culture for the corn plant.
A South Carolina fanner says he cured
hog cholera by giving the animals a liberal
supply of Bicarbonate of soda and salt mixed
in equal proportions.
The character of manure is largely deter
mined by the food. That from hogs and
poultry is always rich, because these kinds
of stock are giving grain and concentrated
food.
In vegetable growing deep, rich soil, now
so generally condemned for fruit gardens,
is of the first importance. Soil cannot be
too rich or too deep-if we would have good
vegetables.
Soapsuds make a special fertilizer for cel
ery, and where only a small space can be de
voted to that crop, as iu a garden, all the
soapsuds of the house should be saved and
applied thereon.
Prof. Johnson, of the Michigan Agricul
tural College, thinks it is better to have sev
eral small silos than one that is large. He
estimates that three tons of ensilage is equal
to one ton of hay.
At this season it is best to ship poultry to
market alive, as the warm weather is not
favorable to the keeping of dressed car
casses ; hence they must be sold immediately
or decomposition may result.
It is estimated that the expense of sup
porting the dogs in this country amounts to
over $80,000,000 a year, and this does not
include the loss occasioned by the dogs, such
as destroying sheep and birds.
A French paper says that petroleum de
stroyes all insects, and banishes rats and
mice, aud that water slightly impregnated
with petroleum applied to plants infected
with ltssects will destroy them.
Toads will eat bees; hence they should be
Guarded against when locating the hive.
I very bee that falls to the ground when
overloaded with pollen will be seized by a
toad if the latter be under the hives.
Lands that are overstocked not only yield
loss food, but the animals pastured upon
them make a less yield in beef or milk than
when the stock is in proportion to the capa
city of the lands for producing food.
A solution of saltpetre sprinkled on cab
bages is said to be effective in driving off
the cabbage-fly. It is harmless, and also
an excellent fertilizer. It should be ap
plied twice a week, however, and used
plentifully.
New land, or clover sod plowed under, is
excellent for turnips. Superphosphate is
one of the best fertilizers for turnips, and in
putting in the crop use plenty of seed in
order to escape the fly, which is very de
structive during some seasons.
What we need is not more acres of grain,
but more bushels to the acre; not more acres
of meadow, but more tons of hay to the
acre. Fifteen acres of wheat at fifteen
bushels to the acre, at present prices, means
a loss; but ten acres at thirty bushels per
acre insures a nice profit.
Salt will not kill out. worms, as is sup
posed, though it is fatal to the white grub.
The only sure way of getting rid of cut
worms is to plow late in the fall or early
in the spring, so as to nllow the frost to
destroy them, as they cannot get back
into the ground after being thrown up by
the plow.
If the beets, carrots and parsnip* have
not made good growth so far apply 100
pounds of saltpetre per acre. Scatter it
evenly, and the rains will dissolve and carry
it to the roots of the plants. A few days
after a rain, should the saltjjetrn be applied
the plants will take a deeper color and grow
ing these crops is the long time required for
the seeds to germinate, and hence a uniform
field is something unusual.

Turpentine, in doses of twenty or thirty
minims, will not only remove headache, but
produce, in a wonderful manner, a soothing

M. Peyraud considers one of the best
means of determining the death of an in

brown or biaek life still exists.
Mildew spots may bo removed by a mix
