Wheat on New Ground.

The Clay County News, says the Lowa
Homestead, gives the following result OF
an experiment of E. G. Starks, of that
county Last fall he returned a portion
OF his breaking, setting his pillow about
an inch deeper than when the sod was
first broken. Last spring he sowed it
in wheat, and harvested twenty. three
bushels per acre. That which he did
not re-plow was also sown in wheat,
receiving equal care with the former,
but when harvested, yielded but four.
teen bushels per acre. A great many
contend that sod broken in the spring
should not be re-plowed before it is
sown in grain; but Mr.. SIS experie nee
does o sustain their theory. Farmers
should make a note of this and try the
experiment, when they can spare the
time.

The London Garden gives the follow
ing as the rules of the Royal Horticul
tural Society for the preservation Of
choice fruits.
!. As the flavor of fruit is 80 easily
affected by heterogeneous odors, il il
highly desirable that apple and pear
rooms should be distinct.
2. The walls and the floor should be
annually washed with a solution Of
quicklime.
3. The room should be perfectly dry,
with as uniform q temperature as prac.
ticable, and be we'll ventilated; but
there should not be a through draft.
4. Use the utmost care in gathering
fruit, handling as little as possible.
B. Fol present use fruit should be
well ripened, but for long keeping it is
better, especially with pears, that it
should not have arrived at complete
maturity. This point, however, requires
considerable judgment.
6. No imperfect fruit should be stored
with that which is sound, and all O
or less decayed specimens should be re-
moved.
7. If placed on shelves the fruit
should not be more than two days gath.
cred, and no straw should be used.
8. Where especially clear and beauti.
full specimens are wanted they may be
packed carefully in dry bran, or in lay.
ers OF perfectly dry cotton wool, either
in closed boxes or in large garden pots.
Seamless sawdust will answer the same
purpose, but pine sawdust is apt to com.
municate an unpleasant taste.
.. With care, early apples may be
kept until Christmas, while many kinds
may be preserved in perfection to a
second year.
The rules given by American fruit.
growers agree very well with the above,
but make especial mention that fruit.
rooms for slow ripening should be neal.
ly dark, and the temperature low. Light
and heat hasten maturity, and next, of

What Becomes Of the Stays Horns.

80 0sn0 . AAVE0Se
A correspondent of Land and Water is
OF the opinion that the stag horns an.
nually shed are eaten up by the deer.
Sometimes they are found in the forests
untouched, but generally they are par.
TALLY or almost entirely gnawed away.
"That kinds thus eat them is certain
from the concurrent testimony of very
many deerstalkers. l add mine, having
very often seen it done. l remember,
on one occasion, when we we're waiting
for a particular stag in the herd, we were
much bothered by a hind who came
twice, at long intervals, to MUNICH at a
shed horn which lay 'twixt US and him.
Ny deerstalker tells me he has new
seen a stag eat a horn, but he believes
they do both, because he has seen a stag
eat the bone of a dead deer, and be-
cause he has often seen the kinds eat.
ing horns. He has shot a hind in the
act of eating a horn. He had long
watched her gnawing at it. She had
repeatedly lifted it clear from the
ground, and it was dangling from her
mouth when he shot" The question
here presented is an interesting one.
Let us have an expression of opinions
on the subject from the hunters of
America.-Turf, Field and Farm.

A GERMAN agricultural journal prints
a plea for long burrows. The turning
Of the pillow and the commencement of
a new furrow require more exertion in
the plowman and team than continued
work on the straight line and how
great may really be the loss of time from
frequent Interruptions in short turns
may be shown 10y the following ~calcula.
tons: In a field 225 feet long, five and
and a half hours out of ten are used in
re-directing the plow ; with a length Of
SIS feet, four hours are sufficient for the
purpose; and when the plow can pro.
coed without interruption for 800 feet,
only one and q half hours Of the daily
working time are consumed.

Horrible Vengeance on Germany.

a Prussian, and will therefore drive all

it has cut off 800 of the workmen at

his name and cobbling is his trade. He
lives the life of a hermit, and never

what he lacks in beauty he makes up in

would be happier and more successful
