When Wheat Should be Cut.

There has been some diversity of opinion
as to the best time to cut wheat, Judging
from the common practice of tarmeLs. 1t
is generally cut when dead ripe, or at least
when the grain has become hard. This is
no doubt an error, and one of more import
ance than many may suppose. 1t should
be remembered that wheat is composed of
gluten, starch and bran. Gluten is the
nourishing quality of the grain. makes the
flour stick together in the hands of the BE-
kcr. and gives weight to the gran-;,nd
there is the greatest quantity of gluten i'll
the grain just rhen the strato is yelyo~ ttro or
Nree .ioints form tie ground tie head t~rHs
do"nTard, and yoH ean Mash q gydi@ be-
tteesn your MunJ and fnger ritioW proluc-
ing any mHL. 1t may therefore be set down
as an in,liSputable truth that every day the
wheat stands after this stage of its ripenesS.
the gluten decreases in quantity and the
Iran increases i'll thickness.
We give these facts in time that the farm
er can take advantage of them the present
season.

Turnips among Corn.


Mr.. Jhon Hamill, writing on this subject
to the Gsrmanto~n Telegraph, says:
1t is frequently the case that in passing
through corn-ficltls i'll autumn, we find the
space between the rows occupied with stur-
dy weeds; sometimes the spurious vegeta-
ton completely overtops the maize, and
''casts it into the shade" Now would
inquire, is it not much better and more prll-
dent, in every sense of the word. for the
farmer to occupy the soil monopolizcd by
the exhausting weeds with some crop that
will contribute to his resources, than to
have it filled with such productions and
which will not only sap the land most
wretchcdly, but foul it by the dissemina-
ton of their minute and multitudious
seeds? Certainly no flrmcr can doubt the
affirmative. BY sowing the Purple Top
turnip seed at the last dressing of the corn
crop, and scutfling" it in, or sowing Just
before rain and allowing that to cover it
he can have hundred bushels of good tur-
nips per acre. if the soil be rich and well
cultivated, instead of host of worthless
and pestilent weeds.

Why we Don't have Good Butter.


Now farmers wives, don't get angry
with me, but look at the statement-con-
slider it carefully and then say if we are not
right In the first place we will suppose
that your cream is all right, your churn
sweet, &c. Well you churn your cream
and it finally makes what we call butter,
you wash it in good cool water, salt it ac-
cording to taste, and rejoice in your nice
fresh butter here you call it done. 1t is
Just at this point where am going to find
fault.
There is no process of working or wash
ing that will secure good article of but
ter, or that will get all the buttermilk out
till it has stood short time, when it must
be worked over the second time, after which
it will keep Il long time. Butter that has
not been worked the second time will not
keep more than two or three days in warm
weather. | don't care how much pains
YOU take with it, the buttermilb that is left
in the butter becoming sour, makes your
butter rancid. have bought and sold but
ter in this state, and know what l am talk
about; and here is where the trouble begins,
you are bound to sell all the buttermilk you
can and so long as dealers pay as much for
buttermilk as they do for a nice article of
butter we cannot expect you to do much
better. l am satisfied that there can be
Just as good butter made in Indiana as is
made in the cheese and butter regions of
the Eastern States. But just so long rs we
pursue the suicidal policy Of selling butter
milk with the butter, so long our butter
will be quoted in eastern markets as west
ern grcase.-NorM Western Farmer.

In early life, the brain, though abount!ine

to injury-and this to such degree that a
comparatively brief and moderate indul-
