PLANETS are continually integrating
difiused materials which they encounter
in their progress through space, and y
has been estimated that the earth adds 10
itself nearly one hundred and fifty billion
such meteoric particles every year. Sec

ct must be slowly losing a part of lis
molar motion of rotation. The effect Of
tidal waves, which are caused by the gray.
itation of liquid toward other planetary
bodies, is to retard durnal rotation; and,
In fact, the terrestrial day Is heightened
by reason of the friction of the tides, and
IL is destined in the remote future to give
about 480 hours between sunrise and sun
set. The earth Is also losing molecular
motion by radiation. That some terres-
trial heat is lost without compensation
and very slowly, of course-can hardly
be doubted, and for the state of things
thus ultimately to be produced we may
find parallel Ia the present condition of
the moon. That appears to afford an ex-
ample of the universal death which, in an
inconceivably distant future, awaits the
entire solar system. If, along with the
dissipation of the molar and molecular
motions, the planets are also losing angu.
lar velocity, this loss of motion will ulti.
mately result in their integration with the
sun. OF two facts which bear upon the
subject, one Qamliar to all students of

Encke's comet by the resistance of the

that the discrepancy is such as might

Another fact, that the inter-planetary

The Nominations.

FROM all sections of the country come
up the most cheering indications that the
Convention at Philadelphia has admirably
satisfied the expectation of the people in
making its nominations for President and
VicePresident. The momentary enthu-
siasm which greeted the nomination of
MIR. Greeley is fast evaporating, and his
true position as suppliant for Demo
cratic votes, and dependent solely on the
support of the party he has always abus-
ed, makes IL apparent to all that the great
bulk of patriotic ion-loving citizens
desire the continuance of the policy of
President Grant Men who stood firmly
by President Lincoln through the dark
days of the war, watching the struggles
and the successes of the brave Union
army, under the leadership of General
Grant, demand now that he shall have
another term of Presidential life, where.

which the people called him four years

Mass meetings in many important towns
have given them formal acceptance and
the press, in all parts of the country, in

certain that the Republican nominations
of Grant and Wilson will receive a larger

The Time TO Cut Wheat.

WE have been taught to cut wheat
when it was in the dough state-when
the stalk just below the head had turned
yellow, while the remainder is yet green
That this rule is correct so far as British
husbandry, Canada, and all countries of
low temperature at the time of the harvest,
are concerned, there can be no doubt. The
harvest in all such countries comes after
the great heat of the season, say in
August and September. There the
ripening is slow, and the harvestis extend
ed through two or three weeks; but that
is not the case in this part of the country,
for we have but few days in which to
do our wheat harvest. The maturity of
the grain is so rapid that it must be close
ly watched. If we cut in the stage indi-
cared as above, we will have shrunken
grain, for the great heat cures the straw
so rapidly that the nutriment that the
soft kernel yet requires is unable to reach
1t, and the result is failure 10 fill out the
grain plump. The grain must be cut just
at maturity, and not delayed until it is in
that stage that farmers call dead-ripe, for
then we are liable to loss by the grain
shelling out If we could put our newly
cut sheaves in the shade until the grain
and straw were fully cured, it would be
and we must be content to take things as
they are. 1t is only necessary To call the
attention of farmers to the difference in
the season of cutting, and the effect
OF heat at the time. Within a distance
OF twenty miles, have seen months
difference in the harvest of wheat,
simply owing to the elevation that gave a
lower temperature, and then this lower
temperature also prolonged the harvest,
or the curing process was more gradual.
In hot seasons our wheat harvest is but q
short week; while, in cool season, it is
extended some days For this reason, il
is almost impossible to fix the time for a
trial of reapers in the harvest.field for any
length of time in advance.
| This peculiar condition of the harvest
is a drawback to the culture of wheat on
large scale, in this part of the country
as it is almost impossible to obtain the
| help needed to secure the crop in tho
limited time. Ten acres is a good days
| work for reaper, and this requires from
seven to eight hands TO do the work. i
is very true that fifteen to eighteen acre,
are sometimes cut and put in shock, bu
this means twelve to fourteen hours labor
which few men can or will perform fol
any length of time. We may, therefore
limit the wheat crop to sixty acres fo
each reaper, and another sixty acres fo
oats. Then the threshing must follow il
the busy season. All this raises the pric,
of farm labor from one dollar day an(
board to two dollars or three dollars. Thi
teaches us that the wheat crop must tax,
its place in system of mixed husbandry
and that it WILL to that extent, be found
profitable crop. We have plenty of tim
for the sowing, but the time of harvest i
beyond our control (Chdnl

Hay and HaymakIng.


HAY is term of very general applica-
ton, meaning almost any dried herbage
used for feeding horses, oxen and other
domestic animals. 1t may consist wholly
or in part of the true grasses, or be com
posed of clover, tares, and other nutri-
tious plants belonging to widely different
families. To know, therefore, the best
time for cutting and curing each becomes
a matter of considerable importance, re-
quiring far more scientific knowledge on
the part of the haymaker than is gener-
ally supposed.
Haymaking is such an old and time
honored process that almost every farmer
feels perfect confidence in his own ability
to secure frstrate article. But this is
just as great mistake as it would be to
suppose that our North American Indians
understood corn culture better than the
modern cultivator of this grain, simply
because they had raised it centuries be-
fore it was known to Europeans. We
shall not be very far from the truth in as
| serting that not more than one farmer in
five makes good hay even with the best
materials at command. 1t is only neces
sary to go into our hay markets for proof
of this assertion. Perhaps some may as
sert that the best hay is not offered for
] oolC, bub WO WOulAl bO W
permit change from the market to the
| farm barn.
One cause of poor hay is the foul cor
| dition of meadows, especially in the older
States, where weeds have been allowed
to propagate and spread for centuries.
But the principal cause of it where only
the best of grasses are grown is a neglect
to gather it at the proper time. Nearly
| all plants used for hay, and especially the
grasses, should be cut while green and in
succulent state, for at that time they
contain comparatively larger proportion
of starch, sugar and gum, but if allowed
to mature, and if the seeds even partially
mature, these substances are changed to
indigestible woody fibre. So rapid does
this change take place in some of the
| grasses that they lose ten per cent. of their
nutritve qualities in as many days after
they begin to bloom. AS general rule
farmers delay cutting their grass until il
is impossible to secure the entire crop
without loss on portion if not on the
whole of IL. The amount of nutritive
matter lost in the mere process of drying
is considerable, even under the best sys
tens of haymaking but when a farmer
has insufficient help and poor implements
| it often amounts to at least fifty per cent
OF the whole crop.

Depth of Flowing.

THE present practice among the best
farmers is to plow shallow for the spring
grain. Indeed, the almost universal Gus
tom now is to prepare fol oats and spring
wheat by passing over the ground with
a walking cultivator or double shovel,
stirring the soil to the depth of two and a
half or three inches thereon sowing the
grain, and then finishing with harrow.
Experience shows that when the soil is
deeply stirred and turned over for spring
grain, the result is pretty sure to be a
great and late growth of straw, and lodg-
ing, dust and mildew, as consequences. 1t
is beginning to be perceived that there is
a vast difference between stirring the soil
and inverting it, And there are those
who are beginning to suspect that vir'
gin soil, and soil some time in grass,
or some longer time fallow, resembles in
many respects a pan of milk which has
stood for some time undistur5ed the
cream is pretty sure to be at the surface.
Where the air and the earth meet, where
the crown, or the life of the plant is, il
would be quite natural to look for the
greatest amount of plant food, and there
is where it is to be found Country Gen

| OF the cutting down of forest trees
which is so constantly going forward in
this country, William Cullen Bryant says:
''It is a common observation that our
summers are becoming drier and our
streams smaller. Take the Cuyahoga as
an Illustration. Fifty years ago large
barges loaded with goods went up and
down that river. Now, in the ordinary
stage of the water, a skiif can hardly
pass down the stream. Many boat of
| fifty tons burden has been built and loaded
on the Tuscarawas, at New Portage, and
sailed to New Orleans without breaking
bulk. Now the river hardly affords a
supply of water at New Portage for the
canal The same may be said of other
streams. They are drying up. And from
the same cause.-the destruction of our
Forests-the summers are growing drier

and strolled into one of the "Alexis per

concern that guarantees to every pur-
chaser of a package Of its goods the find
ing of more clean cash in the package
than is paid for it by the customer On
this particular occasion, to satisfy the
customers incredulity, $50 was put into
the hands of an "innocent bystander" as
a forfeit in case their representations
were not true, by which means JacC bs
was induced to invest So, The most dill
gent search through the package of cheap

of the whole party. At the policeacourt

arguments in regard to the reason why
hay should be made early, we simply urge
farmers to prepare for hay-making with
out delay, not only by securing the help
needed, but also by having q place for
storage and the implements ready. Hay
tedders and mowers are certainly great
assistance in securing the crop, but we
are not certain that these implements
have on the whole tended to improve the
quality of the hay produced, because
farmers are inclined TO think they can
dispense with the greater part of their la
borers, depending too much on machines.
If no greater surface had to be operated
upon under the new system than under
the old, perhaps this dispensing with
laborers might answer; but as rule the
Introduction of laborsaving implements
is followed by an extension of the area
cultivated with grain or seeded down to
meadow.
The results are the same under both
systems, namely, great losses for want OF
help at the time of gathering. The losses
on the hay crop owing to delay in cutting
amount to many millions of dollars annual
ly; and what is more, there is not the least
show of reason for this delay, except II
may be some old fogy notion about the
moons influence, or because somebody's

GREELEY VERSUS GRANT.

BY L. :.
Election Is coming,
Midst shouting and drumming,
And Greeley is trying, but can't,
With speeches and notes
To obtain enough votes,
For triumph DER General Grant.
He swings his old hat,
Flatters SdDlbO and Pot,
And tries in their mind to implant
The notion that he
Will a better friend be
To their interests than General Grant.
He don't hesitate
With Jef Darts TO mate,
Nor with Democrats hungry and gaunt,
For anything now,
He is bold to avOw,
He will do to beat General Grant
Though Republican long,
He is now in the wrong,
And with claims to consistency scant;
For he tries all he can
To put down the great man
He supported as General Grant.
But in spite of his greed
He will never succeed,
For the people declare that he shan't,
BY conduct so base,
Ever win in the race
He is running with General Grant.
And now since we know
That "poor Greeley's" no 90,
And by no means the man that we want ;
Let us work, might and main,
Till we once more obtain
The election of General Grant.
Hurrah for General Grant
Hurrah for General Grant,
Let us work, might and main,
Till we once more obtain
The election Of General Grant.
