WHEN TO cur E

Cutting wheat at the proper tin Q is a mat
ter Of more Importance that farmers generally
are aware Of. When wheat 10 cut from ten
to fourteen days before it is fully ripe, the
grain not only weighs heavier but measures
more, being of decidedly better quality. and
producing a lager proportion Of fine -four to
the bushel. As the grain ripens, the thick
ness Of the skin rapidly increases, woody fibre
being formed at the expense Of tho starch and
sugar. BY this process, the quontity Of the
-four is lessened and its quality deterioratcd.
1t is therefore all important that the wheat
should be cut while sugar, gluten, starch,
water &c still constitute a large proportion
of the grain. The same reasoning applies to
rye, barley. oats &c. This is not theory,
but the result Of accurate and carefully con
Quoted experiments, made both in this coun-
try and Eurppe.-Piedn,ont Wig.

GREEN PEAS FOR WINTER USE.

The lovers of green peas will DO pleased to
learn, that they can be preserved for winter
use. by simply gathering them at the proper
season fer using them green, shelling them
and drying them ia the SHADE, and when well
cured and perfectly dry, packing them away
for use. When required for use, they should
first ba immersed in warm water for ten or
twelve hours, which will render them as ten
der and deliciously succuleut as when tax en-
from the vines. The best method of presery-
ing them, after they have been thoroughly
cured by the above process is TO put them iu-
to close jars or bottles. In this way not on
ly gresn peas, but green beans and green corn
may be had the year round.-M Y. Far. &
