brTBBX8TQtO STAIKjsMxtTfc—-The
following important and interesting in
formation was prepared at the request
of Col. S. L. Fremont of Wilmington,
by Mesara. Cannon and M'Ourdy of
Norfolk. Our farmers will peruse it
with pleasure:
Peai.—Peas should be planted in
January at Wilmington 1J bushels to
the acre. The Hancock Pea is the
bestr-price $10 per bushel—average
yield 60 barrels in hull to barrel (3
bushels) seed planted, price from •15
for early to |5 for late—average about
$10—scut in ventilated barrels.
«»api.-Plant as early as possible
after frost is over in Spring—1 bushel
to acre. Early Valentine is preferable
—costs about $16 per bushel and yields
about 100 for one; and sells about the
same as peas—sent in ventilated bar-
Ttmatou. Always plant the seed
I of the larje »nn»» rei-never plant
any other. The seed must be sown
early in January, in hot beds—must be
set out as early as the front will per-mit;
and be planted about 4 feet by
4 feet, or 2600 to the aere-dnu-liest sell
for $15 per bushel, then down to $1 tor
the later—averaging here $200 to the
acre always shipped in slatted boxes
containing 1 bushel.
Custom.—Plant the Early Prame
—as soon as frost will permit in Spring
—manure highly in the hill; send to
market in 1 bushel slatted boges.—
Earliest sell tor $20 per bushel from
Florida and $10 per bushel from here
—this year. They are usually planted
Ifour bv four feet, 2500 to the acre.
Jrii* pstVUoes.-»-Plant the Early
Goodrich, Dikeman and Whitesprout.
Average yield of the Goodrieh 35 bush
els for one—the other varieties about
half the quantity. Earliest brings
about $8 per barrel and the latest about
$5. This year the average net yield to
the acre, here, wag $200.
Grope*.—Plant the Concord, Hart,
ford and Clinton. Plant about 4*>
I vines to the acre—they cost about ¥w
per 1000. After second year they will
yield } bushel to the vine and will sell
from 10 to 20 cents per poond, «hipped
in paper and wood boxes holding from
two to five pounds to bog. ■■ j
Blackberries.—Most desirable is MU-son's
Early for the South; theiraverage
yield 2500 quarto per acre, and this
year and last those sent from Jersey
and here averaged over 401 cents per
quart They require but httleeulti-vation,
it being done entirely with the
plow. 2000 vines are generally set to
the acre, and they remain in good bear-ing
condition for 20 to 30 years. They
rin^n immediately after Ue Strawber-ries,
and they are shipped in the same
boxes and crates used for ^wherries.
8traiebcrrm.—Vfo put out 10,000
plants to the acre, which cost about
$4. per 1000-an average yield is 3000
quarts to the acre, jWjgJ ***
$L60 per quart for the earhegt to 10
«ents for the latest—the average net
1 at Sorfolk this year being 30 cento per
quart—beginning here May 10th. and
ending June 10th. Parties hntfc. have
cleared $1000 an acre this year—ship
in pint and quart baskets. I"
^eoeJtot—We plant 100 to the acre
—they cost about $100 per thousand-after
the second year they will aver-aeo
one bushel to the tree, and Will
sell from $2 to. $20 per bushel. This
season the Georgia peaches MM ootof
the New York Stoainers at $20 per
bushel. WUmingtou peaches arrive
there in much better condition, and W
improved varieties are planted, will
sell as well or better—sent in bushel
^SSr.—We plant $6$ Dwarf Pears
to an acre; they cost about 40 eente
each. After third year will average
one bushel to the tree, and ye ynMj»
net $10 per bushel-aent in bushel
boxes.
tigatod the potato crop of the early rose brought from considerable diatanoes
variety of Mr. John O. Thompson,
Staten Island, this geason, and made
a favorable report. The yield was one
bushel for every twenty-six hills, or
568 6-13 bushels per acre. Some of
the potatoes weighed three to three
and a half pounds each. The report
sayMs t Mr. Thompson purchased one peck
ofthese potatoeslast spring, from which
he cut 920 sets. They were planted in
rows throe feet apart and oue huudred
and eight feet long, the hills being six-teen
inches from eaeh other. Four
quarto of ashes were applied to each
row three times during the season.—
This was the only kind of compost or
manure furnished them. A mess of
the potatoes was cooked for the com-mittee,
and all the members were de-lighted
with their mealy and nutritious
character."
The original seed was accidentally
discovered in Rutland county, Vt, iu
1861; a seeding attracted the farmers
attention, andhe cultivated it carefully,
making such experiments with several
crops has satisfied him ofits superiority.
He ultimately made it so famous that
a gentleman in Utiea, N. Y., gave him
$10,000 for 120 bushels. We tell the
tale as we find it in the Now York
Qommtreial
Troin the Daily Jourosl Feb., 18S8.
THE FLOWERS GRAPE.
WnjTEvnxE, N. C, Jan. 30,1868.
Mettri. Editort:—I drop you an
item of history in connection with the
Flowers Grape. This grape which is
now so anxiously sought alter and ex-tensively
enltivated lor winemaking
isanativeofRobeson county, North
C.and was discovered prior to 1S1»,
bv William Flowers (know* a* l>»p«»
Billy) in Flowers' Swamp, from whence
it derives its name. In 1810 Mr. Giles
Williams, who is now living, visited
the parent vine, for the purpose ot ob-taining
cuttings or plants. The vine
then had the appearance of being teu
or twelve years old. The precise spot
where this famous grapo was first dis-covered
is sixteen miles South of Ltim-berton,
N. C. From this one patent
vine many thousands of plants have
been carried to all parts of the country,
North and South, and the Flowers
Grape has been competing with stand-ard
grapes of the old countries—Many
thousands of plants and cuttings of
this grape are now shipi>cd by Express
and on the railroads every Winter, by
the citizens of Columbus county,», U,
where this grape is now more exten-sively
grown than in any other part ot
the United States.
Among the many excellencies which
this grapo has to commend it to wine-makers,
besides making the best wine
in the world, is the time of ripening
and the faet that the entire crop ripens
at one time, and never fall from *e
vines until destroyed by frost-they
must have been frozen before they tall.
Very light frosts do not cause them to
fall. This grape ripening in Septem-ber,
and first changes slowly from its
zreen state to a dark red or brown col-and
ground to powder by the rasp of
the glacier. Ice all over the continent,
is the agent that has ground out more
soil than all other agencies together.—
The penetration of water into rocks,
frost, running water, and baking suns,
have done something, but tho glacier
more. In a former age the whole
United States was covered with ice
several thousand feet thick, and this
ice, moving from north to south by the
attraction of tropical warmth or press-ing
weight of ice and snow behind,
ground tho rocks over which it passed
into tho paste we call the soil. These
masses of ice can be tracked as surely
as game is tracked by the hunter.—
He had made a study of them in this
country as far south as Alabama, but
had observed tho same phenomenon
particularly in Italy, where, among the
Alps, glaciers are now in progress.—
The stones and rocks ground and pol-ished
by the glaciers are now iu pro-gress.
The Stones and rocks ground
and polished by tho glaciers can easily
bo distinguished from those scratched
by running water. The angular boul-ders
found iu meadow8, and the ter-races
on our rivers not now reached
by water, can be accounted for only in
this way. Ho urged a new survey of
the surfaee geology of tho State as a
help to understanding its constituent
elements, and paid a high tribute to
the memory of tho late Presidont
I Hitchcock.
▲ HITCH on Two.—A Washington
correspondent reports that it is not
likely that the tenure-of-office act will
be repealed this session. No reason
assigned, and we are left to inference.
Contemporaneously, Mr. Edmunds,
of Vermont, introduces a bill in the
Senate \o prohibit any officer of the
army or navy from holding any civil
office. The reason ofthis is not given.
Whether the politicians think there
are not more than enough offices for
themselves, or that they are more
competent for such duties than naval
or military men ; or whether it implies
jealousy and distrust of Gen. Grant
aud military rule—we are left to con-jecture.
If the first suggestion be the
truo one, and civilians wish to absorb |
civil offices themselves, that would be
in keeping with tho disinterested pat-riotism
of tho age! If the latter—a
dread of military ascendancy—be the
true motive, tho Hon. politicians are
rather too late. The rule passed from
their hands when, in '67, after they
werejbeaten at the polls, they fell back,
against their wishes, on tho General
of the Armies, and appealed to him to
save them from Andy I. Since theu
they have been mere appeudages, toler-rated
and permitted to go through cer-tain
forms; but as to all real power, as
dead as Julius Caesar. If Gen. Grant
chooses to appoint Gen Schofield Sec-retary
of War, or Admiral Farragut
Secretary of the Navy, or even to fill
every post in the Government with
General*, he will do it—and ask no boot
of ifr. Edmunds, or Mr. anybody else.

SOWTKO BLUM GRASS.—A writer in
the Prairie Farmer, who has paid at-tentiou
to the habits and character of
blue grasp, says it should be sown in
February or March, after a light fall of
snow if practicable, as this serves as a
guido in the distribution of tho seed.—
A bushel of tho seed in the chaff, or
even loss, will do if other seed is mixed
with it. Blue grass appears delicate
at first, but acquires spread and vigor
from being pastured. It doos not do
well as meadow, as the stronger grasses
smother aud kill it out. This grass is
a great treat to neat stock—excellent
for dairy and beef purposes.

until fully ripe. When tho last ol this flv
reddish color disappears around the
stem, the grape being coal black, winch
is proof of its being quite ripe. The
stem itself is one marked peculiarity,
which distinguishes this from any oth-er
grape; as the Btcm enters the grape
it branches into three prongs, like a
tripod, which reaches near the center
of the fruit, aud never give way or
pull out till the grape is fully ripe.
Wine-makers who engage in the busi-ness
extensively will find this their
best grape, and while they use the
Scuppernong and other varieties, and
have to employ force to pick and work
them, when these arc finished up they
find the Flowers'all hanging on the
vines waiting, after all other varieties
have been gathered and worked, so
that the hands may not be idle, but
can just be changed over to the Flow-ers
vineyard, when the best wine will
be made last Very rerpectfully,

to Columbus county and cultivated by
a man named Babson, hence it is eome-tbnMxaU'nd

WORK A>T> WAIT—There ore two
things that always pay, even in this
not over remunerative existence. They
arc working and waiting. Either is
useless without tho other. Both united
are invincible, and inevitably triumph-ant.
He who waits without working i*
simply a man yielding to sloth and
despair. .
He who works without waiting, w
fitful in his strivings, and misses re-sults
by impatience.
He who works steadily, and waits
patiently, may have a long tourney be-fore
him but at its close ho will n-d
its reward.

Lace Cotton.—A variety of cotton,
says a southern journal, ealled lace
cotton, is being introduced iu some
parts of Texas, and is likely to be ex
tensively raised. It is to be superior
to any other variety for poor soil or
splaude, having a strong, healthy
growth, and yielding heavily. Bs
strength is equal to a strain of seven
each thread,
of the best
American cotton will lift only five
gve pounds. Those who have exam- j
inod it say that it resemble* Egyptian
cotton, which is worth in England
a quarter more than American. Good
results are anticipated from a cultiva
tion of this variety of cotton. If it is
successful, it may quite generally su-persede
the poorer qualities and largely
increase the income of the southern
planter.
