PREPARATION OF THE GRoUND.- =
Here let US say, once for all, that
upon the proper preparation of the
ground, large portion of the sue
cess of this and almost every other
crop depends-therefor recollect,
that in ploughing for crop of rye,
deep ploughiug and thorough pull
veriza ion Will go far to secure re-
numerative crol-after the ground
is ploughed, narrowed and rolled,
SOW the seed with care, and then
harrow and cross-harrow it in-four
pecks seed per acre are generally
sown, but it is better TO make the
quantity five, or even six pecks to
the acre. When this work is finish
ed, then run water furrows through
out the field SO as 10 prevent the
lodgment of water, and afterwards
solidity will be given to them by
running the roller across the fur
rows.
TINE OF SEEDING.-Some prefer
not seeding before the 10th or 18th
Septembe Der, whilst others think that
to SOW during August is most advan-
tageous; and if there are any fears
of its getting too rank, sheep or
calves can be turned in on it early
in the spring. This will at the same
time remedy the evil, and give
profitable pasture to the young stock
at the time when it will be needed
The crop of rye this season appears
to have turned out much better than
those of wheat, oats aud hay.

The Whaling Interest.

An exchange says "The change
in the importance of the whaling in
terest is one of the strangest seen in
the history of trade. New Bedford
still holds the precedence in the traf

Standard. That city now employ sin

uary l, 1872, there have been i'm
ported 25,454 barrels Of sperm oil,
1918 barrels of whale, and 46,176
poun ds OF bone, which is a marked
filling off compared with the same
time last year. The exports to date
for the year amount to total of 12,-
$50 barrels, against 26,S04 barrels

The work of securing the fruit in
a proper condition from the tops of
tall trees, is severe tax upon the
muscles unless the proper imple-
ments for climbing are provided.
This work may be greatly facilitated
by ladder made in the following
manner
Secure a sapling of sufficient
length, of Eastwood or elm, which
are very light when seasoned, and it
band around. and near the small
end. Then commence at the large
end and divide The stick in the mid
die. If the grain is straight, if not,
use the saw. Spread the foot of the
ladder about three feet, which forms
a triangle,' and insert rounds at
proper distances. The poll, or
closed end placed, in the fork Of a
limb, forms the most convenient and
safest Of ladder.

Last Point of Expansion.

A nation comes to its last point OF
expansion; all the old ideas chat
were once sacred become mere dead
stubble, and if it is TO stay with those
alone, it must die. A million men
have some faint idea that this is not
right; this dead husk cannot touch
the soul with any divine fire. But
at the last, God creates man in HIS
own image, and he comes out bur
dened with fresh expression and ex-
pansion of the old truth. He walks
over the land and tells it. He can
no more help telling it than the sun
can help shining. Old errors set
their teeth against him, fierce perse-
cution sweeps over him, it may be
sweeps him away; but the truth
saves the nation.-Robert Collyer.
