The English consul . resident at Nantes, ''ranee, has sent to his govern­ ment, a report of the wine manufacture and trade in his own and several other districts, which will he read w ith in­ terest wherever French wines <hntl brandy are drank or supposed to be .drank. As to cognac, ‘with a toothful of which the gourmet loves to round off and compose' a generous dinner, .Consul Pauncefote reminds Englishmen: that it, cannot he procured for less than one pound sterling (five dollars) per bottle, and th a t “anything sold a t a smaller figure is no t an agricultural, but, ah indu strial product" into whose composition if real cognac enters a t all it enters only “as a perfurao, to the ex­ ten t th a t eau-de-cologne is' put on a handkerchief,” In reference to wines also, both -white and red, the account which 4ie has to. transm it is not a whit more en­ couraging.* In the case of wine used for drinking, he says,, the a rt of mak­ ing it from materials other than grapes has advanced to quite a high degree of perfection. Rod wine is made of white . wine by the addition of a little flavor­ ing and a little coloring matter, while whitev>yifte.is made of barley. This bogus or im itation wine manu­ fa c tu re is due m a large measure, it is pecpUaT||o say, to one of Pasteur’s cel- ebratectdsScoveries. In the course of th a t ‘r^ovfrned scientist’s experiments* in fermentation,’he unearthed the fact, not known before, th a t the bouquet of ■ a fermented liquor is due''no t to the' m aterial of which i t is made, b u t to the yeast t h a t is used in its fermentation. Up’ showed by a c tu a l experiment th a t wine couldbe made of barley; and that if the yeast used' fo r fermenting par- '. poses were the yeasto-of a particular grape. Chablisor Yquem, fo r example, the >viue would be Ohablis or Yquem without a suspicion of barley flavor. The ,discovery of Pasteurs, Consul / Pauncefote tells us, has been worked for commercial purposes w ith singular success, particularly by one M: George Jacquemtn. This, enterprising vinous artist, i t seems, has surpassed n o t only all previous artists in this line, in the / . beauiy and variety of his vinous invon- 6 tions, bu t he has even gone a point l)e- " yoml th a t a t which P asteu r himself ar- rived.in thediscovcgy referred to above. For irl’astear, while ho manufactured, wind fj^dni barley, always used the ac­ tu a l ycajff to r barm obtained from real gra&esijof u fa t particular vintage which qe sought to produce, nor indeed did he ever give a ,.hint th a t such a modest tribute to genuineness coaid under any circumstances be dispensed with. But the enterprising M. Jacqucmin “went one-1b e ttc rft than the scientist; the scientist required genuine grape yCost for f£foa£ulation toproduce the desired win^ij M .i' Jacquernin dispenses also w ithaeal fjjjast, He has invented and uses ah artificial barm, made from chemicals only, wherew ith he imitates th f .flavors of all the finest vintages to shch perfection as to 'defy detection even from the connoisseur. And* finally, th is, successful vinter has carried|||V:i discoveries to th e point of finding ou t th at, if the urines which he has so njiahufsctuTed be distilled, the produc#w ill'be R brandy of excel* lent quality, w ith a ll the flavor of the particular grape ferm ent used iu the manufacture of the wine. .These*’a r# facts which wine bibbers hnd b'ra*C3r_jtopers will no doubt ru­ minate upon with mixed feelings.

Fowls are no t a specialty on ray farm, I seldom keep over DO or 40 and a mixed lot a t that, hut I have eggs the year round in abundance, even when they bring 45- cents per dozen, My success I attribute to two causes; First, I never shut them up, having my garden well away from the barns and tlie front and side yard for .dowers well picketed, and second, the “egg machine” is w lm t.does tlie rest. The' fowls being always in a healthy, natural condition, tlie result of freedom, they only need food and protection from the inclemencies of the weather to do well. Green and animal food they find in abundance during eight months of the year and the remainder' of the time 1 furnish it to them as 1 do gruiu the year around. The protection or egg machine is merely a ;tigh t shed with doors on th e south side so it can he entirely or only partly opened. It is 10x20 feet, attached to tlie west side of one of my barns aud only p a rt of it is high enough for a man to stand erect in. During shows and cold rains the doors are kept closed. All wet and snow are thus excluded. During cold, raw winds and the prevalence of warm rains I ,instruct tlie boys to throw .open both doors and brace them back. Here the hens can sing n-id wallow in the dust. The sun can pour in its rays and tlie winds do not.ruffle tlie plumage and tempers: of my pets and like a gently-handled cow they reward' me. ■ i have found glass altogether unneces­ sary and do not believe it to he needed any more than ii stove. ' Sometimes a cart, wagon or mowing machine finds temporary shelter here, but I make It*1 a rule to give the fowls the solo owner­ ship. Sweepings from the adjacent barn floor arc .thrown in occasionally and the dust is so deep th a t the whole grain fed mornings iias to lie sought for vigorously until nearly noon, and the exercise is, l don’t doubt, a factor, in the production of eggs.' Once yearly the flpor (earth) is hoed over and all tlie accifimitations taken to tlie corn field. Here is where I get another profit.

Carrots are bettor adapted for horses, producing u sleek coat, healthy appear­ ance and good uppetite. A horse get­ ting a piCss of them every night seldom requires medicine. Sheep th a t have a fair share of turnips or mangels through winter and spring seldom lose their wool before shearing. The ewes, have stronger lambs and a better flow of milk, th a t brings them on faster and earlier for the market, and the whole flock go upon grass in good condition. Milch cows give a larger flow of milk, and richer in quality, which means more bu tter and fatter calves. The old cows can be made into excellent beef. The youug cattle can be brought into valucAuuch sooner and with more profit, Tlie manure pile will be much larger and of better quality. One man in Ontario a few years ago raised 20,000 bushels of turnips. A neighbor said to hiiri: “Mr. F, you had better sell 1,000 bushels, they Will bring you 81,000.” “No," lie says, “ I want them all fed on the farm, to go into manure.” And lie fed all of them. Farms on which roots are raised and fed are getting more jlroduetivc every year. The dairymen say they would disposo of their cows if they could not have the roots for them: Those that feed cattle for export say they could ho t do i t with a profit without them, Onemum says; “1 could not educate my ch ild ren us I do if it were not for roojpl” And numbers of others tell -us they have lifted mortgages th a t they could hot have done otherwisp.

Some-of the most important crops are those th a t are known as late crops, b u t th e hurry in the spring, and the large proportion of labor required to mature and harvest the early crops sometimes leads to an abandonment of the later crops, the land being allowed to grow up in weeds, or .the stubble of. grain left until the following spring, Home of the late crops are the most vulunble, and many o f them are late enough to escape dvouth. By growing both earl}* and late crops a plat may be made to yield two crops a year, which is no detriment to land th a t lias been well manured; The late crops also im­ press upon tlie farmers the advantage of using less land and more manure, and in ho other Way can weeds be so well eradicated-as that of grovring an early andlatjc crop oa the same land, & system which demands constant culti­ vation, aud. of keeping the soil well manured and in a high state of fertili­ ty- La to potatoes, cabbage, beans, tu r­ nips, buckwheat and millet are' crops th a t should pay well, and they will fol­ low peas, old strawberries, wheat, oats or rye. The advantages of such crops consist in requiring the use of the cul­ tivator and the spreading of manttre.in summer. They do not permit of a n y ' kind of weeds being grown, and lessen the work of the farmer in the spring, as well as compelling him to keep the soil loose and fine. These crops can be followed by rye late in the season, a crop th a t will also •assist iu keeping down weeds,- and which can bo turned under the next spring for a green indnurial crop as a feeder for corn, A crop of millet will not only provide hay ■but it is one of the best crops ever grown for crowding the weeds and destroying them, while Hungarian grass is equally as good for th a t purpose, as it - can be mowed several times during-the spring. No farmer should make a specialty of a single crop. Diversified farm ing entails fewer risks of loss.- True farm­ ing is not to cultivate largo acres, biit to concentrate the manure and fertil­ izer o n -a limited area and make the land produce crops from early in tlie season until late. There-is nothing to prevent "the #farmer from . growing, onions as well as wheat.
