BY JAMES INMOST, GARDEN EB TO C. ZCO, ESQ., PITTSBCIiO, I'A. I have always been a loter of Grape cnl-j tare, and I have been often grieved, going, after a crreat thunder storm, into the viue- vard to ee so maov of the vines laid low and the stakes broken off by the ground, the vine and Grapes almost destroyed by the fall, and in i-onie cases the nap vessels I strained in such a manner that the Rap will not flow so freely as before, and this be sides involves a great deal of time in get ting new stakes and making things as they were before the storm. For this reason I have adopted iron in stead of wood ; and I am sure that an iron stake can be had nearly as cheap as a wood en one, The stake that I would recommend for Final 1 growing vines, each as Delaware, Diana, &c, would be of half-inch iron, eight feet long three feet in and five feet out of the ground. To make the stakes, eighteen inches from the ground put a cross piece, two feet long, where, at that point you have punched a hole one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter with which pass the two feet piece in through the stake far j enough to fasten the piece in ; when that is done turn each end of your cross piece up, say three inches, and that will keep the shoots from blowing over with the winds. The second piece, eighteen inches up, have punched for your next piece, only cross the direction. The third piece the same way and in the same direction as the first piece, and give each piece the turn on the ends ; by this meas urement you will see that you have eight inches above your lust cross piece, and that will ju,st answer for tying the vine to the stake three ties will bo enough one just above each cross piece, and that will keep the vines from slipping down, as it often happens on wooden Btakes. To fasten the stake in the ground, dig out the ground as is done in putting in any stake or posts; when that is done take bricks ordered at the briekvard to be made D"?ka oruereu ai me uriCKyarci to De maue With a Jl(Ie througll the centre Of each brick to suit the size of your stake. It will take three for each stake. The one at the lower end of the post hole I think ought to bo only holed half way through, so as to make a good, steady foundation to stand on, then put on two bricks holed through upon the stake, and set j the stake with the end in tho socket of the! lower brick. Fill in tho ground till you come up half way and then let your second brick fall into its place, and the third within three inches of the ground's level, and I think this will hold all strong and secure, and you will have a stake that will give satisfaction. I would recommend two coats of paint all over tho stake, both under and above the ground. A friend of mine told me that he had his best grapes on wire trellises. He assured mo that his favorito Grape, the Catawba, ripened better on that trellis than on a wooden one; so if this proves true in all cases we may soon have a rolling mill in Pittsburg making iron for that purpose, and I am sure I would rather see a mill making iron for supporting Grape vines than ma king plate to build gun-boats or iron-clads. Mr. Editor, I hope next Summer to see this stake tried in numerous vineyards. 1 am sure they would favor such a stake in stead ot woou trellises. I l think the vine likes to grow in a round head such as on a tree and in that shape the sun has more beneficial influence on the foliage, and the great point is to keep the main cane, and the fruit likewise, well covered from the sun by the foliage. Strong growing vines, such as Concord, Catawba, &c, will require stronger iron three-quarters of an inch I think will be strong enough in all cases, and it might be six feet high above the ground, and four cross pieces. Every man can be his own stake-maker, painter and stake-setter. j This is a point for your Promological So cieties to discuss ; for anything that sup ports the vines which give us the Grapes, the noblest of all fruits, I think will be worth discussion. I Iron is often recommended to be put about trees to keep off blight, and it is, I have no doubt, just as 'good to keep off mildew from the vines ; mildew is the great est evil that follows the Grape vine, fThis is an ' excellent ! practical idea for muking iron Grape trellises. The trouble with iron stakes has always been that with out much labor they would not stand up. Tho idea of brick bottom may be carried to iron fences, and iron posts of every de scription. Thousands of "patents" have been paid for by millions of people, of much less value than this idea of Mr. La mont's, which he gives our readers for nothing.- Ed.J Gardener's Monthly. Stt-am Plows and Apparatus. Western farmers are about to have an opportunity to see an experiment tried to test tho adaptability of steam to our Amer ican agriculture. John I Fowler & Co., of England, have sent out a complete set of their plowing apparatus, -with engines and tackle, in charcre of a skilled agent, and, at their own expense, are going to set it to wort. It is said to be capable of plowing more than an acre an hour to a depth of twelve inches, and at a cost considerably less than horse and hand labor. The only objection seems to be the cost of the ma chinery, which is about 10,000 ; but there are many large farmers in the West and in California, who would invest this much if the plan proves feasible.! The custom of ficers levied a duty of nearly $1,000 on this samplo plow, but a joint resolution has I . . . been introduced in the House, by Mr. Bid well, of tho Agricultural Committee, to re fund this, and it will : undoubtedly pass without objection. !
