hoes axes and for every other military naval or agricultural purpose we therefore hope tbis valuable property will engage the attention and call forth the competition of some public spirited capitalists to the province of upper canada such an esta blishment carried on with spirit would be of immense value because bar iron and iron wares could be made there sufficient for tho consumption of its inhabitatants for many years to come and could be af forded at a much lower rate than they can be imported from the lower province and yield at the same time a great return to the proprietor or proprietors for the outlay of capital we understand the object of sell ing the property is to fill theconditions up on which it was placed in the hands of tho present proprietor and on account also of its requiring a greater capital to carry on the works that can conveniently be spared by one house otherwise extensively engag ed in the trade of upper canada and of the commerce of the country

to be of very sope- to the editor of the kingston herald sir the encouragement of domestic ma nufactures and mechanical genius of the ganadas will have an important bearing upon the prosperity of the provinces the manufactures are yet in an infant state and nothing but encouragement can make them flourish almost every article which can be named is at tbis time manufactured by our neighbours of the united states and sent to canada to be sold for whatever they may bring boots and shoes cooperage c h airs c abi net warehats ploughsstoves and various other manufactures of iron wood and tin are admitted at a trifling duty whilst there is imposed a heavy tax on the importation of many raw materials and which of course operates much against our manufactories boards plank c pay a duty of 30s per m feet which is equal to from 30 to 50 per cent whilst manufactur ed furniture by the evasions which are usually made is admitted at aboutooe fourth that percent which is certainly rather unfair we observe io almost every town or village from erie to montreal an inundation of the american manufactories above named which will without a remedy severely injure manufacturing establish ments in tbis country it is not however the private establish ments which we fear or which we are un able to compete but such establishments as you have so warmly advocated for this province but which i doubt not you may now see to be bad policy i mean the new york state prisons where almost every mechanical branrh is carried to such an extent as already to have ruined thousands of fellow craft io their vicinity or compelled them to seek a foreign market and consequently we are also the sufler- ers i would take the liberty to suggest the propriety of petitioning our legislature at the next session to impose such duties on manufactures imported from the u states as will amount to a prohibition or at least give us a decided advantage i hope the subjeet may be resumed by some more able pen than mine or i shall offer some further remarks another day but in tbe mean time will send you the following ex tract of a letter received a few days sine from a respectable manufacturer in co- bourg mechanicus extract for some tirre past i have had an anxiety to write you on a subject which i think deeply con cerns all the manufacturing classes in u canada and one which i think wilfere long brinjj poverty in their doors or drive them to seek a liveuhotd through some other mcanb i mean the impor tation ofamerican manufacture into this provinc the trifling duty which is now required on may articles manufactured in the u states alloa them to manufacture there transport them to canada pay a trifling duty of ten or 15 per ccs0 undersell the canadian manufacturer and thtn leave them as good or perhaps a better profit however their private factories ore not what we hove most to fear their stare prison by ta manufacturing is now becoming a scourge t a very numerous and respectable part of the com munity and has already ruined many very rts- pectable mechanics in the western part of tfce state of new- york and will in all probability very soon destroy our infant factories in tis country and i think it becomes the duty of cvry person who feels the good of his country at heart to endeavour not only to discourage but to stop a systcmn so ruinous a systemn which instead of punishing evil doers becomes a scourge for them that do well the state prison at auburn has at present about 550 inmates and to such a lengtn have they carried their manufacturing that scarce a mechanic in he vicinilyof auburn can gain a livelihood and they are sendin their wares to rochester and buffalo and all other places on the shores of lake ontario and there selling it for half what it can be made for at those places another year and we will find it pouring into our country draining us of our money and ruining our mechanics all to support the criminals of a foreign nation for the chronicle sir i have observed in the herald of wednes day a communication signed michanieus and however praiseworthy the intentions of the writer may be yet i cannot agree with him in some of his remarks it would no doubt be vastly ogreeablft to our tradesmen were the legislature to impose du ties amountingto a prohibition on manufactures imported from the united states but 1 ban some strong suspicions that the effect of buch a measure would not bo quite beneficial to the community in general i wu mention as an in stance the article of paper manufacturers of which in this province ha- a protecting duty in their favor of 30 per cent yet it is rather a singular fact that a better article can be purchas ed from our neighbors at a cheaper rate after paying this enormous tax an the expense of transportation besides ana what rcndeis it the more singular is that the neighboring manufac turer pays fully more for the ra materiel than is allowed at our paper mills i 8 feel obliged to mechanicus to throw some light upon this sub ject and he may bear in rnj that paper is an article over which the manufactures of the states prisons of new york have no influence i am ready to admit that he extensive suan- tities of goods manufactured in the prisons of the state of new york are cumulated to injure the regular tradesmen but i a no prepared to say- that these institutions havenv bad effect upon the general interests of the community upon the introduction of the stem looms jn england thousands were thrown out emplovmenf but it is not yet clearly understood that the applica tion of steam to mechanical purposes although it mav have heen prejadicitf to the interests of one class of persons is a mtional evil and it is a well known maxim that the interests of the few must give way to the general welfare the manufactures of the sfotes prison are af forded at a lower price than dividual tradesmen can produce them it is true j but i should strong ly doubt that that was a sufficient cause for changing a system of discipline which is not only calculated in an eminent degree to strike terror in the evil doer but affords salutary opportuni ty of reformation to the coiictby weaning him

early magdelcn mode of planting the grape vine is propagated either from a slip taken from the stem of healthy vines of at least four or five years growth or by trasplanting the roots themselves by the first mode it requires seven or eight years before the vine comes to its fall bearing and for tbe two first years those plants which fail must be replaced about onethird of the wbole plantation the second mode is the best for if yon are supplied with good plants well rooted there is no danger of loosing any and tbe second year from the time of transplanting tbey yield fruit in climates where the winters are se vere the season for transplanting the vine is the latter part of march or tbe beginine of april but in more temperate latitudes the end of october is to be preferred drills or furrows of eighteen inches wide and eighteen deep must first be prepared and if they be made in the course of tbe eneailidcsnmoiftr or atmmm would be mained exposed to the air would bo more favourable to the plaot the most econo mical and expeditious way of performing this operation is by using a plough and go- idg with it three or four times over the same furrow after which the ground may be dug out with a spade to the depth re quired if tbe plantation is but small or tbe expense no consideration the best me thod is to dig the gronnd deep with tbe spade and turn it up in all directions inlands which are very sandy and light tho drills must be made to the depth of six teen or eighteen inches and the drier the soil the deeper they ought to be in rich soils fifteen inches is sufficient let the drills be run in a direct straight tine from north to south that the plants may receive tbe rays of the sun on all sides plant the roots from four to bix feet apart according to tho quality of the soil tbe richer it is tbe farther apart the plants should be if you use horses for ploughing the roots ought to be at iea6t six or seven feet distant from one another and eight or nine if oxeo are used so that your ground may be ubed without injuring any of the plants final ly if the spade only is to be used the plants may be placed five or six feet apart every way care must bs taken likewise not to place tbe plants of one row immediately opposite those of tbe next row that tbey may not be in the way of one another in planting the vine lay down six inches of the plant flat at the bottom of the drill leaning the upper part of it against the side so as to form the figure of an angle when in this position placing one foot on tho roots to press them flat witbthe bottom of the trench you cover them with three or four inches of good earth well pulverised orjtwo or three bandfulls of moistened ash es you then press the clay or ashes closely with yonr feet and fill up the drill so as only to leave two eyes of the plant un covered tbe drills when planting must be free from water if any from preceding rains remain in tbera it is better to wait a day or two until tbey become dry the
