milk very soon unless they are fed Pas

August, but the strength commences to 20
out of the grass after the LIST of August; and
of course when the grass begins to lose its
strength, the COWS may give almost the same
quantity OF milk, but there is great def.

All farmers who had foresight enough to sow
patch Of corn, should commence feeding
some of it once day by the first of August,

so give them all they will cat twice day;

The Wheat Crop of California.

1t is but u few years since California had
to be supplied with wheat flour from Chill
and New York. Since July list, of last
year, one hundred and fourteen cargoes Of
wheat, or five millions of bushels, valued at
Sc, 100000, have been shipped lro'n that
State to England, Doing much TO save Eng
land from famine, and the United States
from famine prices.
This wonderful progress, enterprise and
development of agriculture in California is
unparalleled. The climate of California is
very favorable to the growth Of wheat. and
secure harvesting. This is owing, in q great
measure, to the fact that the season is 30
very dry in summer, that wheat may be
thrashed in the field, and left in bags with
ont shelter

Manure the Test of Good Farm.
ing.

We farm for profit as rule, however
many exceptions there may be. This profit
which we all seek comes from the sale of tic
products of the land, or from that of animals
fed upon them. This divides farming oper-
atoms into two classes, and determines the
nature Of them, and the system pursued
upon different fields OF the same farm. BY
far the greater number Of farmers pursue n
mixed system, deriving their income IN part
from crops sold, and in part from animal
products. With such animal manure is a
necessity, and the success of farmer may
be predicated upon the amount he makes
and uses. 4 temporary exception to this
rule is seen on some of tho virgin lands of
the West, and wherever apparently mex
haustablc fertility Of soil renders manure
supeitiuous. Where a system Of green ma
IuIing for wheat and Indian corn, with the
addition Of lime and plaster, and perhaps
bone dust occasionally, is sufficient with
good tillage to maintain fertility, farmers
have an economical substitute for animal
manures. This system may often be profit
ably applied to g out fields" and occasion
ally to entire farms. Manurc-barn. yard
manure, or more properly, barn manure,
for the yard is poor place, at best, to make
it-regarding both quantity and quality
must be considered the measure of good
farming, and the test Of success.

Preserving Crab Apples.

A beautiful sight is the crab apple tree,
loaded with its ruddy or golden fruit, which
loses none of its charms when we'll preserv-
ed upon the table. Core them with a pen
knife, leaving the hole as small as possible.
Put pound of refined sugar for every pound
of prepared fruit in the preserving vessel,
and add one cup of water to each pound of
fruit and cook over a slow fire. When the
sugar is all dissolved, and hot, put in the
apples and boil gently until they are clear.
Take out the apples, boil the syrup until it
is thick, and pour into the vessels in which
the fruit is to be kept. A few slices of lem
on boiled with the fruit improves the pre-
serves for those who like that flavor. The
apples are sometimes preserved whole with
! of ID of sugar to l ID of fruit, but they
are not so nice. For immediate use, ID of
sugar to one of cored fruit makes nice
sauce for roast meats.

The Saving of Garden Seeds.

Many Of the seeds are sufficiently matured
this month, and the work of saving them
should be begun before they burst their
PODS, and are lost. 1t is quite possible to
save better seeds than we can buy, and the
habit of carefulness in studying the habits
Of plants secured by growing our own seed
will be worth much more to us than the
value of the seeds. All our garden plants
have been greatly improved from their orig
inals, and none Of them probably have
reached the limits of their perfection. They
can be made to mature earlier, and to pro-
duce more abundantly, as those who have
made experiments have learned. If the
first well -deveoped seeds of 4 plant be Sc
lccted and sown for several years, the off
spring will mature earlier, and eventually
a new variety will be secured with a fixed
carly habit. If we select the longest pods
of bean and plant the seed, we shall find
the crop true to its parentage, and more
prolific sort will in time be established. 1t
will take time and patience to secure desir-
able changes, but there is very great salts
1actlOn III seeing our laDOrS result III perilla
nent improvements in our vegetables. 1t
is little more trouble to save the first ma
ture cabbage, turnip, or beet seed, and to
keep it by istelf, but it will pay if one can
get variety that will ripen a week earlier.
1t is particularly important to hasten the
maturity of plants oftropical origin, melons,
squashes. cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants,
etc. Select seeds from the earliest perfect
specimens and mark the result. Expert
mental plants should have the advantage of
good soil, southern exposure, and frequent
cultivation. A plant with a predispostion
to ripen its fruit early would not have = fair
chance in a cold clay soil, or upon Il north
ern or western exposure. If we mean to
fix the habit of early maturity, all the cir
cumstances must favor the growth Of the
plant. Aside from the influence which the
saving of our own garden seeds will have
upon the improvement Of fruits and vegeta-
bles, the habit in itself is a good one. 1t IS
exceedingly convenient in the hurry OF the
spring gardening to know just where you can
find every package ofseed you want to plant,
securely lied and tabled, with the name and
date of gathering. For this purpose lei the
good Housewife make mp few dozen paper
bags, and have the packages stored away in
the seed box as fast az they are Sc cured.
