WHY NOT SUCCESSFUL.

A young mechanic or clerk marries and
takes a house, which he proceeds to furnish
twice as extensively as he can afford, and
then his wife, instead of taking hold to help
him to earn livelihood. by doing her own
work, must have hired servant to help her
spend his limited earning. Ten years at-
forwards, you Will find him struggling un-
der double load of debts and children,
wondering why the luck was always against
him, while his friends regard his unhappy
destitution of financial ability. Had they
from the first been frank and honest, he
need not have been so unlucky. The world
is full of people who can't imagine why they
don't prosper like their neighbors, when the
real obstacle is not in banks or tariffs, i'll
bad public policy nor hard times but in
their own extravaganza and needless os-
tentatiOn.

Cutting TIMEER.-If oak, hickory or
chestnut timber is felled on the eighth
month (August) in the second running of
the sap, and parked, quite large tree will
season perfectly. and even the twigs will
remain sound for years; whereas that cut
in winter and remaining till next fall-as
thick as ones wrist, will be sap-rotten, and
will be almost useless for any purpose
the body of the oak split into rails will last
more than ten or twelve years. Hickory
cut in that month is not subject to be worm
eaten. and will last long time for fencing.
When | commenced farming in 1920, it
was the custom TO cut timber for post fenc-
Ing in the winter. White oak post and
black oak rails cut at that time, found
would not last more than ten or twelve years.
in the year 1923 / commenced cutting fence
timber in the eighth month. Many of the
rails cut that year are yet sound, as well as
those formed of chestnut. If the bark is
not taken off this month, however, it will
peel off itself the second or third year, and
leave the sap perfectly sound. The tops
of trees are also more valuable for fuel than
when cut in the winter or spring.
| advise young farmers to try the expert
ment for themselves, and if the post fences
viii not last twice as long, forfeit all my
experience as worthless

a. DEAR KISS.

WoMAN's RIGHTs.--A curious trial was
recently held at Middlesex Sessions, in Eng
land. Thomas Sayerland. the prosecutor,
stated that on the day after Christmas he
was in the room where the defendant Car
oline Newton, and her sister. who had come
from Birmingham, were present. The lat
ter iokingIy observed tE1t she had promised
her sweetheart that no man should kiss her
while absent 1t being holiday time, Saw
erland considered this q challenge, and
cauobt hold of her and kissed her. The
Young woman took it as joke, but her sis
fer. the defendant, said that she would like
as little O.. that fun as he pleased. Saver
land told her if she was angry he wonld kiss
her also: he then tried to do it, and they
fell to the ground. On rising, the woman
struck him; he again tried to kiss her, and
in the scufle she bit off his nose, which she
spit out of her mouth. The action was
brought to recover damages for the loss OF
the nose. The defendant said he had no
business to kiss her; if she wanted kissing
she had u husband to kiss her-a better
looking man than ever the prosecutor was.
The jury without hesitation acquitted her;
and the chairman said, that if any man at
tempted to kiss a woman against her Will,
she had right to bite off his nose if she
had fancy for so doing.

BEST TIME PoR CUTTING WHEAT.

A friend furnished US with volume OF
the Cultivator for 1874. and called our at
tention to the following experiments, per-
formed by farmer. to determine the best
time for cutting wheat. Believing that some
of our readers will be interested with the
article at the present time, we transfer 1t
TO our columns:
1874, May ga few heads of wheat
were cut from the field, when perfectly
green, the grains having hardly attained
full size, and being in milk" or quite liq-
uH within. After drying several weeks.
one hundred seeds were carefully weighed
and found to weigh only twenty grains
They were almost shrunk TO chat.
Jnne 4-Other heads were cut in the
same way-they had just begun to assume
perceptible shade of yellow. One hun
dred seeds weighed when wei dried, 30 grs.
or nearly double the first.
june II.-Othcr heads were cut. they
had changed about onethird in color, the
grain in the dough state. One hundred
seeds weighed 46 grains, and would be re-
gardcd as fair specimen of ordinary wheat.
June I5.-Mostly became yellow-a few
sfreaks of decided green near the tips of
the chaff-heads quite erect. After cutting
in this state, and drying some weeks. the
seeds were very plump and fine looking.
100 weighing SIS grains.
June 29.-Heads dead ripe and curved
downward. 100 seeds weighing 53 grains,
being two grains lighter than the last, which
would be loss of about one bushel to eve
ry twcnty-seven, by cutting it dead ripe,
instead Of two weeks earlier as in the above
instance-bcsides the loss by Smelling, and
the inferiority of the straw.
