Pembina. They were eighteen days ON the
route and had pleasant trip. The snow on

the cold has been so intense that many cattle
have frozen to death. The oldest inhabitant

experienced in the North. The traders who
went off in the fall to traffic with the In

CUTTING WHEAT

Though the propriety of cutting wheat in
| the dough state has been advocated as long
Us we can remember, yet we believe most
| farmers wait till the grain becomes hard,
and the straw fully ripe. We believe, how
ever, the harvest might be safely commence
ed when the wheat is in the dough state, not
| only with advantage to the portion first
reaped, but with the additional advantage
of being able to secure the remainder be-
fore the straw gets too dry. The grain
may be said to be fully perfected when the
stem, for few inches below the ear, has
changed to golden color. In case of rust
there is all obvious propriety in cutting at
the earliest moment. After the attack has
commenced, the wheat, so far from gaining
anything by delay, suffers daily loss
For the satisfaction of those who may be in
doubt as to the relative advantage of early
and late cutting, we subjoin from the Ten
messee Farmer the following account of an
EXPERIMENT IN CUTTING WHEAT.
"A practical farmer in this State has sent
to one of our rural papers, two samples of
wheat of the same kind, grown in the same
field, but cut at different times He states
that one sample was cut Oh the Goth of June
last, i'll a green state, when the crushed |
gain had the appearance of thick dough -
the other sample was cut six days later in
a ripe state, the ears dropping, and the |
grain firm and hard. Both samples remain
ed in stack till the 18th of October. When |
the grain was threshcd, it was found that
the green cut portion was equally dry with
he other! but besides that, the green cut
grain weighed twenty-cight ounces more
Der bushel than that which was allowed to
stand till it was quite ripe; and the former
has been also found to produce better
sample of flour. with one twelfth less BRAN"

ITO MISS A.-OF d. COLLEGE"

The ancients tell of angels bright,
Who came to earth with glory laden,
Who left the glittering heavenly band
To win the love of mortal maiden.
And believed it only fiction,
I knew not then the urchin's power,
Thought not then his winged shaft
Could make me love lcitlLin an hour.
thought not that the radiant charms
OF woman, with their magic spell,
Could rouse the slumberings of my soul,
And make me love thee half so acel.
Caring not if woman smiled,
wandered needless on my way,
My path with rosy garlands strewn
Though still devoid of passions ray.
While thus / stood and asked not for
The changetm smile of woman bright,
A risiOn came: with beauty crowned
Shed DER my soul neac delight.
Twas then loved with passion wild,
Twas then 1 felt affections fame,
And LOnged upon my caPtire heart
To carve thy sweet, thy loved name
Oh. could thine eyes peruse my thought,
And read my heart with passion teeming /!
Oh, could see responsive thrills!
Or thy dear eyes with pure love beaming.
now believe the ancient fable,
To dwell with thee and be thine Ocn,
l we'll can see how one could come
To live and love but thee alone.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


III were the light of the brightest star
That burns in the zenith now,
I'd tumble down from my home afar
To kiss thy radiant brow!
Ii were the breath of fragrant flower,
With viewless form and free,
I'd steal away from the fairest bower
To live with, and love but thee!
If 1 were the soul OF bewitching song,
With moving, melting tone,
I'd float from the gay and thoughtless throng
To soothe thy soul alone
If l were charm, by fairy wrought,
I'd mark thee with sign,
And ne'er again should gloomy thought
O'ershadow thy spirits shrine
If We're memory past alloy,
I'd linger where thou art:
If were the thought of abiding joy,
I'd nestle in thy heart
If were hope, with magic might
To make the future fair,
I'd make thy home on the earth, as bright
As the paths of angels are.
