THE WISCONSIN FARMER.



scriptural injunction, "Go thou and do like-
wise.
  Some day, if we should live long enough,
we expect to see hundreds of our well-adapted
gravelly hill-sides in Wisconsin smiling with
vineyards which shall make glad the hearts
of the rising generation.
  Farmers, there is nothing of the nature of
labor that will pay you better in all those
things which are most desirable, than the
making of good gardens and orchards.

        That Raspberry-Hardy Pear.
  MR. EDITORI--Mr. Hanford rightly describes
the kind of fret that I have supposed to be
Antwerps, as I received them as such.  KIed

ford, as we always like to be sC oin the right
track
  Will your Corresponding Ehitor, or Air.
Plumb, please give us lists of pears knowsn to
be hardy and able to endure our winters2-
Let the lists embrace Summer, Fall and Wlin-
ter varieties, adapted to cultivation in Wis-
consin; dwarfs as well as standards.

              The Yeddo Grape.
  This is the name of a new candidate for
popular favor, its claims being based upon
the fact that it promises to be hardy; the
quality of the fruit is excellent, its bunches
are of medium size, berries of a brownish
color, thin skinned, and the flavor all that
can be desired, while it is supposed to be
specially adapted to our climate.  Messrs.
Parsons & Co., of Flushing, New York, in a
communieation to the Horticulturist, repre-
sent the leaf as resembling that of the vel-
aware. This, we are assured, is an error. A
gentleman who has some two hundred of the
'- Yeddo vines ' under cultivation, informs us
that the leaf is large, resembling the Catawba
and Isabella, and wholly unlike the Delaware.
It is said to be a very rapid grower, scarcely
surpassed by any of our native sorts. If it
is all that is represented it will certainly be
a great acquisition to our present list of
grapes.  We hope the high praises lavished
upon it may be well merited.-Farmer and
Gardener.

  SOMEBODY says the very best way to secure
a meagre crop of strawberries is to allow the
weeds to grow without stint after the crop has



been removed. We have no doubt of this,
and if many of those who complain of short
crops will look to this matter they will find
the cause, and learn holw to apply tile remedy.

  Transplanting Evergreens from the Woods.
  MR. EDITOR:-I want to transplant Ever-
greens from the woods. When shall I do it,
and how?   Shall I select very small trees, or
those of mediutn size?'  By auswering the
above questions 3 otl will confer a favor on
several persons.             D. J. QrtMBY-.

              Clarifying Wine.

  After grape must has undergone its first or
great fermentation, and is barreled and stored
away, a second or slow fermentation usually
takes place, and is allowed to continue up to
a certain point, which differs for different
wines. As long as a particle of sugar re-
mains and a particle of vegetable fermentive
umatter, this secondary or slow fermentation
may, under favoring circumstances, take
place. To whatever extent it may have gone,
the resulting wine is turbid, because of opaque
vegetable matter left floating in the condi-
tion of minute shreds. This vegetable matter
may deposit, if sufficient time be given, or it
may not, the result being dependent upon the
nature of the wine. If it deposit naturally,
the addition of finings may be dispensed with,
racking into another cask sufficing to achieve
the desired object; if otherwise, some sort of
finings must be used for this purpose from
time to time, such as white of egg, milk, gela-
tine, isinglass, &c. Whatever the clarifying
material used in any particular case, the de-
posit should be allowed time to settle and the
clear wine racked off.-Scientific American.

  WINTER KILLINO OF Tlix LAWTOx BLACK-
BERRY.-It is a subject of complaint with
many that the Lawton blackberry is subject
to winter killing. Mr. W. D. Hall, of Ham-
den, Conn., obviated this difficulty by keeping
down all shoots until after the first of July. The
canes that start early and get thoroughly
matured are the ones that are destroyed du-
ring the winter.-Farmer and Gardener.
