WHEN TO CUT WHEAT.-Ths Parsons
(Kansas) Sun says: "We have been
told by several farmers who know of
what they speak, about wheat in this
country. The time to cut is just after
the grain leaves the milk, and is begin
ming to make dough. At this time the
head and stem will be almost green,
having turned very little yellow, if any;
shock it up Immediately and put two
good caps on it; and stack it as soon as
dry enough and the strength in the stem
will be ample to fill the head perfectly.
1t is Just about this time that the bugs
begin to work on the wheat and ruin
it; and by cutting and shocking, it is
out of the way of their ravages."

THE CHECK -RETN.-Why is it that so
many of our farmers, and nearly all of
our city carriers insist in using a tight
rein on working horses? When horse,
left to his natural inclination, has a
heavy load to pull, he can best exert
his strength if his backbone is in one
continuous line, and this he will have
if not prevented by tight check-rein.
Some claim that it prevents a horse
from falling ahd when man can raise
himself over fence by a lift on his
suspenders we will believe it. When
a horse falls, tight rein will most
effectually prevent him from getting on
to his feet again. Try it without the
rein and see if we are not correct in our
practice and theory both.

VINEGAR BITTERs.-We happened to get
out on the street early Tuesday morning,
and found that every tree, hitching post,
board fence, and public monument in the
city, had taken a dose Of Vinegar Bitters."
We tested the resisting power of two or
three maple trees, and half dozen hitch
ing-p posts, and as they rendered futile our
most strenuous efforts to root them out, we
came to the conclusion that there is conside-
rable strength in the Vinegar Bitters."
Besides this, there is no danger of thinking
that all the hitching- posts and street lamps
are dizzy after drinking the btters, for
there is not particle of alcoholic stimulant
in them. They are purely vegetable, and
as agreeable to taste as any genuine bitters
can be. Those who have imbibed say they
are an excellent tonic and stimulate a
healthy action of the liver. - Loekport

Scientific.

How THERMOMETERS ARE NADIA
writer in the Polytechnic Bulletin gives
the following description of the method
of making thermometers at manufac-
turing establishment in Chester, Pa. q:
The glass tubes, as received, are about
a yard long. A boy picks them with a
hard steel knife, and breaks them into
the lengths required. The bores, which
are fiat, are compared by means OF a
lens with those of ten standard sizes,
and the tubes assorted accordingly.
They are then passed to the blowpipe
table. Each glass blower has a foot
bellows, and uses an oil lamp. Melting
the glass at one end of the tube, he
blows it into a bulb by pressing the
sides of a hollow india-rubber ball
attached at the other, proportioning
the size of his bulb to the bore of his
tube, and ascertaining the size by using
pair of callipers. While the bulb is
hot the tube is inverted in mercury,
which, as the bulb cools, partially fills
it. The tube is then withdrawn and a
short India rubber tube attached at its
open end. Into this mercury is poured ;
that in the bulb is boiled to expel the
air, which rises up through the mercury
in the India rubber tube, and an at
mosphere of the vapor of mercury now
fills the glass tube and bulb. As this
condenses, the mercury in the India
rubber tube takes its place, when this
tube, with any mercury remaining IN
it, is removed. The tube is now
warmed, and the open end Of the glass

| The bulb and portion of the tube
are immersed in melting ice, and the
height of the mercury marked they
are then transferred to bath at sixty.
two degrees Fahrenheit, and the height
marked next to bath at ninety-two
degrees Fahrenheit, and the height
marked again. The length of the three
spaces of thirty degrees each are now
carefully measured. Ii they are exactly
equal, the bore of the tube is supposed
to be uniform, and the degrees laid of
on the brass scale of the Thermometer
are all made of the same length. If the
space of thirty degrees each are moi
found to be exactly equal, then, by
means of highly ingenious dividing
eL.1e, the degrees on the scale are
made to increase in length as the calibre
of the tube diminishes. When the
plate has been divided, and the figures
and letters punched in, it is passed
latterly, between two rollers, to remove
the burr left by the tools. Were il
rolled lengthwise, the accuracy of the
dividing would be impaired. The plate
is then silvered and lacquered, the glas:
tube attached, and the whole slidder
into the well known japanned tin case

Antiquity of Man.

With the evidences of the existance of man specialized as much as he IS now, at a period so early as he is known to have lived, it is scarcely too rash to assert that it is useless to expect to find any eviden- ces of his Simian origin ill any bones ex- humed in the later formations in Europe, and much less in America. And, in view of the negative results of the extensive paleontological explorations made in Flu rope, it is almost as unlikely that any such remains will ever be found, even il anterior formations. The anxious ma. thefefore contemplate with happy seren ity the explorations made, for every skel eton found, in its perfect, man-like feat ures, will not only disapprove the exis tenee of the dreaded intermediate link but will add to tho value of the negativ evidence against the existence of such link, that is, in Europe or America. And on theoretical considerations, that Is what might be expected.
 But it would be altogether too rash to predict that, because no such evidence will, in all probability, be afforded by Europe or America, the evidence of the intermediate link will never be published. Let it be remembered that the present home of anthropoid apes is almost entire l " UuAuQWu III po4SOu9OkVSACdA pOAub VI view. When Africa or Asia shall have been half as well explored as Europe, or even America, it may be time to predict that such evidence will never be forthcom- ing. But it is not likely, either, that the intermediate link will be of very recent origin; it may be found to have lived in l the same epoch as did the Oreodonts and Titanotheres of Anericag or (exact syncro- nism is of no account here, as the ante lopes and Helladotheres which ranged in miocene days the plains where now Ath- ems stands; possibly even then the an thropoid Pithecoid had, developed far in- to the pithecoin AnthIopoid.
 But, however this may be, the anthro- pologist who expects to find the evidences of man in much less specialized condi- tion than he now exhibits, in any very re- cent formation, in either Europe or Amer ica, must base his speculations on some thing else than known facts, and even in the face of geological and paleontological
 evidence. Nor is it all likely that the
 being who could fabricate tools and
 hunt with weapons the animals that were
 his contemporaries could have been very
 much less manike than the existing
 man But we are now passing the border
 line of induction from facts to specula-

The proper way to go fishing is to have a line and several hooks i'll your pocket. To wander out into the country quite by accident and because you have nothing else to do. To cut pole Tn the most convenient swamp or forest. To chance upon some worms and things, wrapping them up in paper which you happen to have in your pocket, or perhaps lncloslng them in the envelope received from your last sweetheart. To come by accident upon some stream famous for ordinary fish, and to make cast, meanwhile re- fecting as to how the thing was done when you were small boy who had run away from school, and who fully expected a thrashing on his return. To deposit the pole on the grass, or to ground it up- on rock, during the period necessary to replenish your pipe. To get bite and be astonished at it, at the same time won dering that the tingling of the fingers ends is not the electric shock that used to come when you fshed with a pin occa- sionally and were glorious at times over q real hook. To be supremely disgusted because the fish are all small. To be more disgusted at the discovery that the stream is much smaller than 1t used to be. and in fact pretty much dried up. To wander away rom thar stream over meau- ow and through forest to brook that was once famous for trout. To discover that the brook has lost it's speckled beauties in deference to chubs and other small fry. To drop the pole finally ands getting into the shade of the wood, to go to sleep Tn the midst of dream as to what has been and what is to be. To come home finally, tired but happy, and wondering how it is those little fellows, with their slender limbs and general weakness, can undergo all this travelling and not get tired of it. There is no red tape about this method of gong fishing. No anxious hours de voted to rods and lines, spoons and things. No extraordinary expense. No mile of preface, and small inch of experi- ence, and two miles of benedition. But after all it is very satisfactory. .-RochcS- ter Chronicle.
