handling Grapes.
The following remarks -from the last
number of the Fruit Recorder are season-
able: When the grapes -are fully ripe the
bunches should be cut from the vines with
a pair of hand -shears, always taking bold
of the stem when moving the bunch.- This
precaution is necessary so that blood' may
not be rubbed off handling the berries. The
grapes are then carried to a cellar or
packing -house. All green berries should
be removed from the bunches before pack-
ing. This can be rapidly done by holding
eaoh bunch by the stem and cutting out the
green, berries wielaa.nair of long, pointed'
shears. Grapes briug higher prices in the
New york market when packed in small
boxes, holding not mere than five pounds
each. These boxes are now manufaCtured
extensively in grape -growing districts-, an

how Shall we Save the Peas ?
An exchange says: The old enema. is
as numerous as ever and bids fairly to
devour -nearly the whole pea crop before
winter unless some means can be applied.
to stop the pea bug before it bas eaten the
meal all up. Various pieta' are suggested
and present theneselvee. One'and -the
most economical, is to thresis at once and
feed to the pigs before the beetle' assumes
its perfect form ; but since every One can-
not thresh at once, there wilabe nsech
damage to those who mut wait. Another
plan, suggested is to grind what will
be needed for late feeding; a dff-
ficulty comes in here, too, since, with
the moisture produced, by the insect the
meal would be itlmost sure to heat unless
dried by enixtere with bran. shorts or the
like, which would require much euro in the
operation. A third plan suggests .itself,
whials, if put strictly in practice, would not
only save the grain but settle the'• bug
account for ono salaam at least. The plan
is for every one to threeh out the crop as
noon as possible, and kilndry the ..peas,-

-hunger and Appetite.' "
Dr. Fouenie, the French physielogist,
distinguishes between hunger and apPetite
by describing the fernier as a general desire,
for food, no• matter of what kind, while:
appetite is the, feeling of plea -sure which
results frena the gratification of tbat desire.

haS been much .discassed by physi,

known at all, . while Longet and Schiff
believe that it is diffused threugh the whole
body; but this latter view is disproved by
the fact that in gonse diseases people waste
away without everhaving the slightest feel-

When meal -time arrives the glands of --the
Stomach become filled and disteridecl and

digesting the food. Ent if food is not intro -
