An Englishman writes as fo11ow to the Country lientlentan of the effect of soil imon milk and cheese; Pam positive the moat* intelligent and Most practical dairymen - in the United States, he saytatiave not a clear knowledge of the reason why •tbe cheese is of that peculiarly rich and palatable flavor from ondpapture, while it will be inferior from another appetizing to have finer. and better grass. There is no doubt that the native grassesawhich become established on the best grass land when long undis- turbed by ploughing are the best adapted for cheese making. .There te semething beyond mere fertility of Emil' and the presence of the beet herbage, and also of the .a.bsenoc of weeds and objectionable grasses, 1 have termed extensively in the most mated dairy counties in England. CM the magnificent domain I farmed, my employer, who descended from the nobility of 'Beaty was as proud of the fanae of his chime as of aught arse belonging to the barony, but ilwas not the best land which produced the hest cheese. We had fields whioh would make beef in half the time the dairy fields would, and yet it would spoil the cheese to let the dairy cows graze there. Thereto an error which the educated and leading agricul- • turists of the United States tall into, which is stating -that the English dairy farmers usually feed Much meal and other stimu- lating food to the dairy_ cows. This is a very great mistake. The practice of feed- ing anything but gess from Mity till Octo- ber is unknown smafig t1 dairy distries.

Black- berries almold be six to eielat feet apart in rows, and the raspberries about four by four feet. In: picking the grapes for market it is beat to use the grape scissors, which valeta the bunch to be renieved without handling and defacing the bloom. The thin-skinned varieties, Like the Concord, will not keep long; but the tough, oldnned kinds, as the Catawba, Iona and Diana may be preserved in good. shape until the holidays. To thug keep them the grapes must be well ripened, piolted with care, and left in a cool room for a few days .until the, skin gets tough. Pack them afterwards in anavAl boxes (3 to 0 lbs.), putting the !mitt in from the bottom, and putting on the cover (bottom), with Borne pressure, and tacking fast, ',able the other side, which tit the one to be opened.

It consists of two square inclasares with a passage way between them, whioh is covered by a peaked roof, the hay being placed in the spaces thus enclosed, and upon the rafters, being built up as high as neoetisory.

An extensive grape -raiser says: It ie fairly proved that paper.bags made of good manila paper, to mover the clusters of grapes while ripening, afford an excellent protection against mildew,bird e and insects. - Personal observation and experi. once have demonstrated their usefulness against human marauders or fruit thieves, provided green bags of the same tint as the foliage of the grape are used.

Immediately upon falling from the trees they must be inserted in soil, covering but slightly with light; friable earth or sand, and early thenext spring the young plants will appear. In the case- d walnuts it may be _well to hull theta - before placing under ground. Owing to the difficulty experienced in transplanting all kinds of bearing trees, the seeds should be placed .where the trees are 'desired .to remain. Nuts intended. for planting may be preserved over winter in slightly moist sand placed in a cool cellar, and of course set in the opt3n ground as gems as germina- tion begins, which will be very early. - Root Cellars. The leading features' of a good rootcellar are, proof against frost, 'testae's& dryness, ventilation and cheapness. If a hill -side is conveniently near, it helps much tosecure these desired ends. An excavation should be first made, in size depending upon the required capacity of the cellar, and in this erect a stout frame of timbers -posts with plank, or a log pen, and on which place a stout roof. The earth that has been emit. voted is thrown over the structure until the whole is covered tathe depth of two feet. A doer should be made in the ex- posed end of the cellar, through which the roots may be put in and taken out. The amaller the door (and still be convenient) the better, as is tams of less exposureto the frost. A qtututity_of straw pressed in the doorway will aid greatly in -keeping out the frost. - Every tarmer with many roots to be stored ehould have a root cellar, either by itself or in th,e lower part of the barn, •It is net well to store a large quantity of roots in the' cellar of the house, as thegases rising from them during winter may cause sickness to the inmates. .• Marieating Potatoes. . . It is not best to hiryeet potatoes whire the weather is quite warm, and the work should not be neglected till thegaound becomes Very wet from heavy rains, and there is -danger from frost: It is difficult to harvest potatoes' and have them in good condition when the ground is very wet; as much dirt will adhere to them, and make them likely to rot.

If they ternain tiil their color becomes green they are poisonous. Potatoes should be stored in dark Pace, where the temperature is quite cool, not subject to =eh change, but not sufficiently coed to &MEM them to freeze. Potatoes keep their flavor best if -they are placed where the humidity of tho. air that surrounds them k3 nearly uniform. To secure this, some persons Who desire to have excellent potatoes for their own tables, place them in tight batters and cover the top with a thick turf of grass. This plan excludes the light and keeps the potatoes at the requisite degree of damp - Tho Fruit fanvilen. Blitoliberry and tatpberry lante had . . The tragedy ,at St. Anablet, the neigh- boring parish to Rimouski, of which •men - tam has Already been made, and of which We have just received the following details, appears to have beep one the mast hor- rible Murders ever perpetrated in the' country. The itemised, Francois Moreau, and his Wife and Supposed victim, Demerise Royaleft the .house together on the morn- ing of Fridaylast to work at the hay in their fields, and during an interval of rest in the •middle of the day to gather, nuts. Emma St. ' Lauranty, a girl of -13 years, daughter of the woman by a former marriage, remained alone in the' house on the express order ol Moreau, and despite the appeals of 'her mother that elle be allowed to accompany them. About 5 o'clock in the eventog Moreau re- turned home alone •and inquired from 'Brame, if ler mother had returned. Re - milting a negative reply he went to Fran. coisLemieux, ci neighbor, making inquiries concerning the woman, but without obtain- ifig any informatiOn of her. A search was Immediately instituted by all; the neighbors, with lanterns; but no traces of the missing woman were discovered until next ,morn- ing, when one Lemieux dame Barbee • a _track as if something bertv,y had been drag- ged over the ground, and following it up, came upon the body of Demteriee Roy dit Lantana .Thu remains were put in n. vehicle and drivettio her brother's :house. Moreau did not follow the others there, but retooled alone to his own hone. He, was brought over, however; to the inquest, and when asked if he knew the deceased, he coldly said "Yes:" Being asked Who the person was, be answered, in. the smile unimpassioned manner, "My wife." The post-mortem, examination "showed that all the manse! the body were in a healthy condition, but that the victim had lost all 'her blood by a rupture of the tenaptiral artery. The jury on Wednesday returned the following verdict a That Detnerise Roy dit Lauzott was assassinated On the ,16th September instant, in the parish of St. Anaolet, district of Rimouski, aud that death is due to woundsinfileted upon the bead by an arpo or other' instrument, and that Francoijalallareau; the husband of the Victim, haying been the only person seen that day in company with. the said Dernerise Roy dit Lauzon;it appears bythe _proof that the said wounds Were inflicted on the head of the demoted by the said Francois Moreau."

Lose Their 9isrs, adare fprosined: Moamar., Sept, 27.-FromCaughnswaga this evening comes the news of the terrible death in Lachine Rapids of two Indians =Med Thomas Deer and Louis Bice, It appears that late in the evening they Started. to cross the river to carry from Lachine somebarrels for grape packing. None can tell what happened afterwards, but a short,time later a woman living on the bank nearly opposite the terrible Senile or leaps of water, heard some person calling for help. It wa.s dark, and a woman so old could not go to the rescue of the moo. Shortly afterwards she beard men again calling for help, and distinctly heard. them i shout u the Indian tongue, "We've loot our oars." After a time the cries grew more vigorous, doubtless as the poor fellows realized that no help could come to them,. and that they were nearing the ter- rible tamp from which there could be pone but a miraculous esos.pe. At length the cries cease, and the old woman heard nothing more save the montonous roar of the rushing waters. A brother of Thomas Deer came late town to- day to search for tidings of the boat and bodies, but neither are likely to have passed out of the eddying whirlpools that abound in the terrific rapids:: Both were skilled canoemen and lacrosse players. If the memory of your correspondent serves him well they were members of the Euro - peau lacrosse team that played before the Queen and travelled through England.
