Having read so many commun ications in your valuable Journal of Horticulture upon the sub ject of grape growing, and mak ing of wine, coming from' various parts of llie country, many of Ihe correspondents claiming to be in the most favorable latitude, and having (he best soil. 1 have con cluded to write out my experi ence and observations in Eastern Virginia. We claim to have the soil and climate to gro# the most vigor ous vines and superior grapes. We have no large bearing vine yards now; nearly all were des troyed during the war. Every tiling here is now in its infancy. And good corn land here will produce good grapes; bul the best is a chocolate or brown loam; and when fresh from the woods, all Ihe better. In January, ISOS, 1 cleared up four acres ofland from the woods, removed nearly all the stumps, and did not allow any of the trash or leaves to be burnt ; plowed the land ten inches deep, and plant ed early potatoes in rows four feet apart. In April, 1 planted Concord and Catawba grapes (in yearling plants) in every alternate row, and eight feet in the step, using no manure. The potatoes were taken up in July. The vines made a growth of about six feet, and some laterals. Last winter I cut them down to two feet, and left one eye to each lateral: This spring they started vigorously. I allowed all the branches to grow ; and they have made from thirty to sixty feet of new wood, notwithst anding we have had the greatest drought ever known. The vines have now matured from ton to forty-live bunches of grapes, ready to be cut, and made into wine. My trellis is made of heavy white oak stakes, six feet and a half long, sharpened, ai*d driven eighteen inches into the ground ; making the trellis five feet high. For slats, 1 use sedar poles,halv ed, and nailed to the post. The first I put two feet from the j ground, one at the top, and one midway. I prefer a low trellis, as the crop is more easily gather ed. This trellis presents a very rough appearance; but it is strong. It requires eight hun dred stakes to the acre. 1 get them from my own woods; and the cost for getting the stakes and slats, and putting them up, is twelve dollars for an acre. I know, when this communication is read by the knowing ones and the scientific, they will laugh, and say he is a greenhorn for let ting his vines bear so young, and allow so much wood to grow. In reply, I will say, f have been thirty years growing grapes, anil have tried every way laid down in the books; close pruning three years before a grape was allowed on the vine, and then only a few bunches. Close pruning I think a great injury to the vine; the growth will be too great, and the wood soft. Visitors from other •States say I am wrong in allow ing my vines to bear so young, and predicted they will soon be exhausted. I tell them, thirty years’ practice and experiment ingenables me to know what 1 am about. A gentleman from j New York lias recently purchas ed land here, and will plant aj hundred acres in grapes. He j said he would trench his land 1 two feet; but when he saw my vines, and found that the land had only been plowed ten inches, he said he would abandon the trenching; and he had had long experience iu grape-growing. Alveyis one of the most prom \ ising grapes I have ever grown ; vine very vigorous ; bears enor mous crops ; perfectly free from rot; fully equal to the Delcware in quality. The bunches arc al ways full and healthy. It ripens here the first of September. It will grow well in any soil; but like others, if lias its preference. Why this grape has been so little noticed, seems strange. It is surpassed by none, and equalled by few. It has all the good qual-1 ities tii reeoinend it, except size, j The berries are of full medium i size ; bunches good size, and very compact ; color black. We have several characters of soil here, — the gray loam, sandy soil, white or leachy, and the brown or cho colate loam ; the latter is the best for any crop, but especially for grapes It is aiCeasy soil to cul tivate, and the vines grown in it are much more vigorous; and as 1 stgteil in the first part of this communication, if fresh from the woods, it will be worth fifty per | cent, more for a vineyard. Our poor, worn out lands will require | a good deal of manure to give the vines a good start; but we have a great deal’’,of gfeat lauiL that will grow st rong vines i out stimulants. ■Bf In conclusion, plow i lie land or plans shallow, cull■®||!|y| ami you w ill li;.\o \ i im^HHAA healthy vim-- ami ii iii 1.

J Garden and Gardening. a ll isi an old saying that harden supplies nearh mHA of a poor man's living." A^A^ products are equally valuabloH| the man of wealth, since vogenP ble food not only saves a great deal of bread and moat, bul is at the same time cheaper and whole somef than animal food. And now* let us notice our most valuable garden vegetables, I. Potato. —The potato is de cidedly the wholesomest and best garden vegetable in the world. It supplies the want of bread and meat to a greater extent than any other vegetable does or can ; for we never get tired of this veg etable food, but can eat it at every meal, and always with the same relish. And wo do not know the worth of it until our potatoes are used up, and we have no more Lo put upon our table. No meal, however varied, rich and line, is considered complete if the potato is wanting. And hence every householder, whether rich or poor ought always to have a good sup ply of potatoes on hand for his family’s use. Asa general thing, however, we only raise potatoes enough in our gardens for mrly use,and look to our lets and farms for our autumn and winters sup ply, because this crop would re quire too much room in our gardens, . 2 /Jeans. — The bean as a food possesses the strength producing properties of meat to a greater degree than any other vegetable, and so. in summer, forms a val uable substitute for meat. A small patch of ground will pro dure a large amount of beans, that iu their green and dried state make a very palatable and whole some food in summer, autumn and winter. •i. Uahhatje. - J lie cabbage when boiled in its natural green and sweet condition with pork or beef makes a delicious! and very whole some sumnier,autumn and winter food. And it is equally delicious i and wholesome in its sour or souer kroul form in winter when boiled with nice fat pork or beef. Our Germans, of Pennsylvania, are s fond of cabbage that they ar often called üßov<r u Bov<r kroul, Dutch,' by way of derision, but that don’t hurt us a bit, or make us less fond of this favorite food. And many of our English and Irish people are equally fond of it, and are beginning to make cabbage one of the standard crops of their gardens. 4 Tomato. —The tomato, when properly cooked,salted and spiced makes a cooling and very pleas ant and wholesome sauce, that never comes amiss to most peo pie, though used al every meal in its season. And a supply of canned tomatoes for winter use* and until tomatoes ripen again, is now a subject of careful atfren lion by every good housewife. And this vegetable, with its cooling nature, and tine sour taste, comes into use just at the season of the year when our stout aehs crave a food that possesses a cooling and acidulous nature.

Farmers Families. • Much lias been said and wril tenon this subject; poets havV loved it, and almost every arisj litis his cozy little farm-housfl nestled among.the trees, covered with climbing roses and surrounij ed by all (lie “necessary ou® buildings.” Many a time havts we (‘orgotton while gazing at such a picture, or reading one of these amorous effusions, that we were born in the country, that we lived in a farm house and fol lowed its tiresome monotony from morning lill night, varying from laundry to dairy, feeding the poultry, rising before the lark was astir to milk the “pat ient,” kino,” “shod like a moiin taiuoer,” and ho on with but lit tie variation, save on those days in which there was house-clean ing or some other “extra job” to be done. Then when evening came and we sat down thoroughly weried, what an unutterable longing came over us for something more, if, (and the tantalizing picture would present itself, (there was only a paper to be picked up af ter this was over, or some inter esting or instructive volume— we were weary, very weary, the very sight of the pile of patching made both lingers and eyes ache we were disinclined to touch it, And just here is one ol the great wants of our modern farm houses,-—there will be found if the case be investigated, that in by far the largest proportion of them there is but the one weekly paper, and in very many none at all. In these houses the library may be easily counted. And here men and women in embryo spend those years that will so much influence their future lives. Let this be remedied. Let the (fathers supply their children with those grand educators, the public press.
