in this enterprise.
Bros., of St. Lords, contract
fanners to pay them 75 cents per S
for all beans delivered green in 'he hull r.p
to April 3d, and 65 cents per bushel tor all
delivered from April 3d to May 15th, and
ffora-May 15th to June 1st, 60 cents per
bushel. Through the influence oT Her
man Fisher, Esq.; wno hadccry confi
dence in 'the ability of Kucnhc &.' Bros, to
coraplywith tbtir conrtact, many of our
farmers entered into this enterprise as a
matter of experiment, etc., and I am satisfi
ed that if sal Kuonhc & Bros, had pre
pared for and understood the handltngand
shipping of beans, both they and the farm
ers would hae realized handsome profits,
eta In the first plac,-a chill house should
ha e been prepared here, or, failing in that,
certain days-of cacheclv -should hae
been set apart forhe gathering and deliv
ery beans, and a refrigerating car icady to
rcctme them, as the farmers unloaded and
bosed than, so lliat all beans, could liavc
tecnJ&ippcd within 'one day after tliey
tre gathered. Instead of a chill .house,
an ordinary boxed arc-house nas used,
andgreafheaps of beans were suffered to
Lehree or four days,-and sometiincs.even
longer "before they were shipped at all
Jlorelhatf this, Ihey were packed lightly
in Loves (when they should have been
placed in loosely) and then shipped in
common box cars lo St. Louis. Up to
May joth beans were qucted in the SL
Louis and Chicago nutlets fiom$t 25 to
';7ipcr bushel. A box contains about
31 pounds, or two ordinary buclctsfull of
beans, and one bvshcL weighs 34 pounds,
thus malting each box contain about tno
thirdsof aimhel'Trom good authority
I learn that green beans seldom sell for hxs
than.$3.per bushel in the northern mar
kets, up to June loth. Now our farmers
can afford to raise beans at 50 cents per
bushel, because, they can raise from 50 to
xeo bushels, pertaenvand if they ould
only bring 50 cents" per box in, the north
ern marlets, I sqs no reason why an cr
terprhmgihippeV should fail to male it
pay him well xl hope some of our mer
chants will build achuThouse here and re
new contracts neat season with the farmers
forrarsirg beanj-and other vegetables. By
flawing beans, in rows 5 feet apart, cotton
can b planted ; between the rows ad both
cultivated without damage to either, and
thuswo crops aay. be raisedupon the
same ground; Tlic beans would pay all
expenses of labor, rent and gathering of
the. cotton crop, if nothing more, and thus
e.nablc our farmers to lecp out of debt. If
.we have no merchants here with enterprise"
S'iftiaent to push this idea of a chill house,
t c. I hope our farmers .will combine and
do it themselves. ,?

Pruning th6?Grapo.
The"tfjne to prune the grape
is in the autumn, after the vine
lias gone to rest if this be not
done,-it should be attended to
" early enough in "the winter as
lheVcut surface will not bleed
5n the spring. If this has beep
neglected, the vine should not
4e cut until it has made con
siderable new growth. Then
thertrwill be no bleeding, and
judicious trimming vill'bc ben
eficial. This trimming, howev
er, should not be severe, since
ifso it will give a serious check
to the integrity of that plant,
and often cause the. fruit to
drop, or else become imperfect.
Superfluous wood may be taken
out, but the new growth had
better be left lo the extent of
three- leaves, at least, beyond
the last bunch of fruit.' When
the vine is likely to fruit too
heavily, the surplus must be
taken out. There must be sufi
cient foliage left to thorougely
elaborate the sap of the plant,
and the leaves must be in due
proportion to the 'weight of the
fruit. In all this, however, the
grower must exercise his own
judgement. The novice, by a
Jittlcstudy upon the principles
of vine-growing, and attention to
(lie requirements of special va-
neues, will soon be able to ar
grange a system of pruning and
cultivating that will meet the rc
quirementi of the varieties he
cultivates. Fiaitic Fannci.

thought
from the cp
that w e hav e in the 1??
to the conclusion that ai7
diversity of crops is no better th.
ny, if the one selected suits the-wil climate
etc., but w hat the farmer needs is a judici
ous diversity, of his crop, and without
which farming can not be made a success
and profitable to those engaged in it. If
this be true, then the ipicslion of proper
or judicious diversity becomes one. of vital
importance to the farmer. What then are
the objects to be attained by variety, and
the points to be considered in maling up
that variety! As one object we would
mention the utilization of time. To ac
complish this purpovc, stub, articles should
be selected as require care in their culti
vation and gathering at different periods in
the year. The farmer or laborer, can ac
complish just so much in cilher cultivating
.or gathering, and to have sev eral varieties
on hand at the sjmc time, in cither Mage
he must have extra labor o- suffer loss, this
tanners Irums to be inevitable. Another
object of consideration, is the means of
handling and preparing the crops for the
mailet. 1 here arc but few staple articles
thai do not require a certain amount of
machinery to prepare them for transpor
tation or sale, and an ordinary fanner? un
dertaling to supply himself with all such
machinery w ould be v ery apt to find him
self engaged in a losing business. For
instance talc the articles of cotton, sugar
and wheat, and the machinery necessary to
handle them successfully would amount to
more than the ordinary farm mould pay"
the interest on. Hence diversity of farm
ing in such articles or Crops can be accom
plished only by co-operation and concert
among the farmers in such localities as
may sec proper to engage in it. The na
ture ofthearlictcsin regard to their preserv
ing qualities should also be talen into con
sideration. And for the principle crops
such articles onlj-.slioulJ be produced as
can be preserved through at least a
great portion of the season, that the. pro
ducer may have an opportunity to obtain
the benefits of the flunctuations of the mar
let or their use, and such articles as
dependpon a momentary marlet, should
be a secondary consideration'In the malc
up of the vai icty for the season. Another
important reason for a variety of articles is
the preservation of the soil. It is a fact
patent to all observing farmers, that a suc-
'.ccssion of the same crop for a teries of
J cars, will impovcrL.a the land, hence it
is essential that crops should be rotated,
giving nature, the great store house
.of the fanners wealth, an opportuni
ty lo recuperate the exhausted fields for us,
which the farmer in his mistaken ideas of
economy and thirst for gain, fails to do.
The soil is the farmers capital from
which he draws his annual rxr cent, and
whenever he allows the fertility of jt to be
decreased, his capital is therchj-'dimished,
and of course his per cent. lessened in the
same ratio. This solves the question
why the yield on many farms seen in this
county of rich soil has been ch"mishedfrom
2S"to3oper cent, in the last decade, and
the same course persisted in will bring a
mournful sequence to the ovmcrs.
1 will now notice another item of farm
products, and although not pioduced from
the soil directly, I consider it of
the greatest concern to the farmer vu: the
domestic animals, w hich should be included
among the productions of every farmer,
w ho is desirous of being able and prepared
to utilize to the best advanlage,both time and
all the surplus articles that may be produc
ed on the farm. In twenty-five years ob
scrvation and experience in tins, county, I
havciot seen a lime when young thrifty
stock ofany discription would not pay
reasonably well forlhc cost and trouble of
feeding it Finding this to be the case for
a quarter of a ccntury.I thing we might safe
ly conclude (hat it is an established facl,and
that it will always continue to be so.
Hence we conclude that every farmer
should supply himself with ali the animals
that he may need for cither road or
draught purposes, and for thiir, flesh. An
other consideration in connection with
stock when properly managed, 'may be
made to aid greatly in maintaining the fer
tility of the soil 'at perhaps less cost to the
ow ncr than by any other means.
Finally we conclude that, with skill,
energy and perse erence with a judicious
diversification of crops, any farmer in this
county may and can obtain an abundance
to supply all reasonable and moderate de
mands. J. U. Gray

I see jou request all persons who plan
ted wheat this ) car to report result of same.
Karly mi January I sent to Corsicani, and
got ten bushels of Nicaraugua or antirust
wheat. 1 divided it out among my ncigh
bor, Mr. Bolton. Mai tin Fayhe and Kobt.
Flewcllen, Jr., reserving two bushels and a
peel for myself, which I sowed on the iSlh
day ot January, on two acres of land. One
of the other parties sowed a few days be
fore I did, the others a few daj s after. It
has made a most splendid crop, will be
ready for the cradle in a few days. Men
that pretend to be judges say it will male
from 18 10:5 bushels per acre. Not the
least sign of rust has showed itself on any
of the patches suvm. My land is bltik
sandy. Mr. Bolton has his on black-stiff
land; Martin Fahey's blacl-sandy; no
lerceptibh: difference in its appearance
now. When we cut and thresh out, I will
report exact yield per acre. A great
many predicted failure when we planted,
but I am happy to say they have been dis
appointed. They now say the mills won't
grind it, because the bran will ruin the bolt
ing cloth. I understand from a reliable
source they male all the higher grades of
flour up Xorth from the hard flinty wheat.
One gentleman I know,Mncar Victoria,
