KEEP OUT THE CHESS. A correspondent OF
the Illinois Farmer issues caution to his brother
farmers, which it will be well for them to heed.
He says:
In sowing winter wheat and rye. great care
should be taken that no chess is allowed in the
seed. Four years since We sowed some thirty
acres Of white wheat, which contained a small
quantity OF chess. The land on which this grew
has been in hoed crops since, nd well cultivated,
and the chess continues TO come up year after
as though the supply was exhaustless. Some
persons contend that chess will not grow but
to all such We would say, don't allow your
selves to believe any such nonsense. The en-
velope Of the chess is hard, and requires mos.
tpre and warmth to induce it to terminate. If
sown in dry soil OF moderately moist one, where
the wheat will come up. the chess will often re-
main dormant; but the late fall rains generally
give it q start, however small. 80 that if the
wheat is winter killed, it viii fill up the vacant
spaces but if the wheat is not injured, the chess
is so shaded that it amounts to nothing more
than sickly growth, yet il will mature enough
seed to keep up the supply. If you have no
mill winnow it out in the wind, or wash it out
in brine in brine, but We beg of you not to SOW
it on any condition.

IMPORTANT FAcrs CONCERNING THE ARMY
WoRN.-The Newport (R ~ Ners states that
Mr.. Chamberlin, q scientific gardener of that
city, has discovered that the eggs OF the army
worm are deposited by moth, near the root OF
the grass, and attached to the stems Of the grass
and enclosed in a small sack about as large az a
Cnina bean, and composed of substance closely
resembling cotton in appearance. II is affixed
around the stem of the grass in the shape OF the
swao used for cleaning guns. If our farmers

INDICATIONS OF A GOOD MIXER.

The question is often asked how to tell by in.
spectng a COW or calf whether it will make a
good mixer. To the initiated it is very easy
he will scarcely be mistaken one time out o!
twenty in mikng his selections. But to convey
this knowledge to another, by the pen alone, is
impossible; the most we can dOs to give a few
general rules. More information could be OBJ
taced, orally. in one heur, from good Judge
among herd of cows and calves, than from a
volume Of written directions. Ii il misfortune
that farmers sons are nos taagh. these things.
rs well as many others Of great practici al value
relating to their profession.
There are several points in a COW or calf which
indicate great mi king qualities. The most i'm
portsnt and certain OF these. especially in the
calf, is the uddsr. This should be broad and
full, extending well forward along the belly, and
well up / Ind; the skin rather so and elastic
neither IT, \ nor thin; aud the hair around OF
a silky touch. The teats should be of good size
placed rather wide apart, and at right angles to
each other, the ends slightly pointing out in an
obliqne direction. 1t is favorable indication
for the udier to SHOW fifth or sixth teat, though
these should be much smaller than the Others,
especially in the grown COW. In the calf the
relative difference mas not be- so great.
Another very important consideration is the
milk veins, which should be large and quite Jag
gci. These will be developed seve.al months
before the hei:er drops her first calf, and nva
riably shows large ever after. We never knew
a COW with such veins that did not give a large
quantity of milk-whatcver the quality might
be-unless some accident mad happened to her,
or she had been very improperly managed. We
have also known cows that were great mixers
which did not show large milk veins, but these
are mere exceptions to the general rule.
Ia addition to these, there are other points
which may BE- taken into consideration in ma
king up ones mind whether COW is a good or
mixer. If the former, her eye is generally
bright; her head long and clean; her chest
slightly thin for the breed; and her body rather
wedge shaped from the hips forward. while she
is extra capacous behind, with thin thighs; the
skin rich cream color and very elastic. In the
latter We have noticed the eve not ordinarily
prominent; the head thicker; the shoulders
and thighs coarser and more meaty, and the
posterior developments narrower.

Married Life

A newly married couple are like
two travellers in an unknown coun-
try-fresh views of each Others
dispositions are opening out before
them every day, some beautiful,
some unsightly, and mostly unex-
pected. A breeze occasionlv springs
up which may either enliven the
Journey by clearing the atmosphere,
or dampen the ardor Of the excur-
'lonlsts by ending in a thunder
storm. If the couple, however.
have ordinary judgement, they will
so arrange or dovetail their likings
and disIikings as to jog on together
agreeabIy in the whole. The cant
OF incompatibility of temper is for
the most part the excuse of llnaves
and fools.
