Vineyards which are perfectly alike in regard to conditions of climate, tillage, and soil, often produce very different kinds of wine. Whoever takes the trouble to inquire will find that a different wine grows near the summit of a vineyard from that which grows at its foot, and that there is even a considerable difference in the middle between neighboring localities. In contemplating the varied products of the earth, we are tempted to believe that all climates and soils yield products which would grow even without the agency of man, and the differences of which in point of quality and quantity on one and the same peice of land, depend entirely upon the different exposures to the sun of the various portions of the ground. This was the opinion of the celebrated Bernard de Palissy, in whose Dialogue on Theory and Practice, we meet with the following passage. is the best exposure, and excellent vines usually grow on all southern slopes. There is a particular advantage in little hills which rise with a gentle ascent from the plain, while steep and bold acclivities are not adapted to these purposes. It has been observed that as well the perpendicular rays of the sun as those which fall in a very oblique angle, are injurious to the vine. The ground must be so formed that the water neither stagnates in light, thin and stony soil, nor runs off too quickly. A gentle declivity compels the water gradually to permeate the entire surface, and prevents too rapid evaporation, as well as the stagnation which injures the grapes. To comply fully with all these requirements, a vineyard must not have too much shelter; narrow valleys rarely produce good vines, particularly when traversed by rivers, the exhalations from which cause frequent fogs, and keep the air constantly in a high degree of ducts which would grow even without the agency of man, and the differences of which in point of quality and quantity on one and the same piece of land, depend entirely upon the different exposures to the sun of the various portions of the ground. This was the opinion of the celebrated Bernard de Palissy, in whose Dialogue on Theory and Practice, we meet with the following passage. "In Foye-Monian between St Jean d'Angely and Hiort, we find vineyards which produce the most precious wines, while grapes grown very near them never become perfectly ripe, and yield a drink which, to judge by its taste, might as well have been extracted from wild vines. This shows that the same soil is far from yielding the same crop everywhere, even though the parcels in question are ever so near together, and appear to be wholly alike in color and other qualities." This difference in products which is observable throughout the vegetable kingdom, is determined by position alone. As an instance, wood which was grown on the northern slope of a hill, burned far worse than that which was grown on the southern slope. Fragrant and perfumed plants lose their aroma when transplanted northward, though the soil in their new abode is ever so favorable to their growth. Pliny made the observation that the various sorts of wood from the southern districts of the Apennines excelled those of all the other parts of that chain of mountains. If, as we see, location is so important in its influence on wood, the same remark applies in a much greater degree to the case of vegetables and fruit. Of all the latter the grape is the most sensitive to the rays of the sun, and the crop derived from vines which grow in a northern exposure differ materially from that of vines growing in a southern. Not alone the position in general, but the various parts and slopes of vineyards merit close attention. The fruit which grows at the top of a hill is very different from that which grows in the middle and the peaks the water gradually to permeate the entire surface, and prevents too rapid evaporation, as well as the stagnation which injures the grapes. To comply fully with all these requirements, a vineyard must not have too much shelter; narrow valleys rarely produce good vines, particularly when traversed by rivers, the exhalations from which cause frequent fogs, and keep the air constantly in a high degree of moisture. Besides, in narrow gorges there is constantly a cold draft of wind, exceedingly damaging to the vine. Setting out with the principles heretofore laid down, it will not be difficult to extract the truth from the widely divergent views of the vintners. Some of them assert that the neighborhood of a river is hurtful to vineyards on account of the fogs and exhalations, while others endeavor to demonstrate by reference to the goodness of the wines of the Rhone, Gironde, Marne, and other rivers, that situations of this kind are peculiarly advantageous. The latter is perfectly correct in so far as the river is perfectly harmless when its bed is not laid in too narrow a defile. The proximity of a stream is at least without any marked ill effects wherever the valley is a very wide one, and when the hills offer their sides favorable to the action of the sun. If the latter is the case the vineyards will be but rarely enveloped in the mists, which usually form on rivers, and which remain a long time on very broken ground. An eastern exposure, if not directly injurious to a vineyard, is at least less desirable than a southern one, as it will be frequently exposed to the danger of freezing in the former. For when a cold night has left the shoots covered with hoar frost, the great heat of the midday sun which often supervenes very suddenly, melts the crystals of ice and drives the water into the wood to the injury of the sap and the blossoms. Mr. Chermon, a vintner of Epernay, who has long and carefully studied these phenomena, gave me very interesting information, which fully The grape is the most sensitive to the rays of the sun, and the crop derived from vines which grow in a northern exposure differ materially from that of vines growing in a southern. Not alone the position in general, but the various parts and slopes of vineyards merit close attention. The fruit which grows at the top of a hill is very different from that which grows in the middle, and the matter from that which grows at the foot. As the upper portion is most exposed to the weather, and as the vines growing there have no protection against the wind, every change of temperature becomes painfully perceptible. The fogs are denser and remain longer, the air is colder and changeable, and the frosts which are so destructive to viticulture occur more frequently, an consequence of which the grapes are stinted in the yield, and seldom attain perfect maturity. The wine extracted from this fruit is worse than that which grows on the central swells of ground, which are protected by their favored situation from the deleterious influences of the weather above mentioned. The vines growing at the foot of a hill, where the soil is constantly fresh, enjoy abundant vegetation, but the grapes growing on them are never so rich in saccharine and fragrance as those of the central parts; the constant moisture of the air and dampness of the ground nourish the vine and stimulates its vegetation at the expense of the fruit. As regards the situation of a vineyard in general, the south-east cold night has left the shoots covered with hoar frost, the great heat of the midday sun which often supervenes very suddenly, melts the crystals of ice and drives the water into the wood to the injury of the sap and the blossoms. Mr. Chermon, a vintner of Epernay, who has long and carefully studied these phenomena, gave me the very interesting information, which fully confirmed my views, that according to his experience and that of all his friends in the Champagne, a southeastern exposure is the best for viticulture. The best vines, and the choicest wines are grown in that neighborhood, and the vines thus grown are worth 30 per cent. more than those grown in the same soil, but in a southwestern exposure. —The agricultural reports for the months of August and September was sent to the printers last week. They are full of returns, which show a yield of cotton for this season, which will approximate 4,000-1000 bales. In some portions of the cotton regions considerable damage was done by rain, but the loss is overcome by a higher average in sections more favorably circumstanced. The wheat crop is fully up to the average of former yields, it being estimated at 250,000,000 bushels. It shows most favorable returns in Minnesota, the yield of the past year reaching an aggregate of 30,000,000 bushels. —How opinions differ! The Marysville Appeal, in speaking of Ben Butler says that "when history deals with his record, it will write him down as an honest, able and fearless man."
